Install CS3 Over CS4 Demo

I've given my daughter my old CS3 Design Suite. It is properly de-authorized from my computers. I am running CS4.
She tried the CS4 30 day free demo. She has since "uninstalled" it from her MacBook Pro.
She's trying to install the CS3 Design Suite and gets a message "Install the CS4 disk".
What is the trick to installing CS3 when you have previously had a trial version of CS4?
Thanks.
Steve

She probably needs to run Adobe's CS4 Clean Script. Here's the link:

Installing cs6 over cs4

I currently have Cs4, I downloaded it directly from Adobe, I have no Cd, I just have the serial numbers.
I have a year long internship and my boss wants me to download cs6 onto my computer. However, after this year I will have to uninstall c6s. I'm wondering if when I uninstall cs6, I will not be able to have cs4 on my computer anymore? And I'm not sure if cs4 is still downloadable from Adobe? I'm just worried that I will no longer have cs4...

You do not have to install CS6 over CS4. You can have both on the machine.
CS4 is downloadable from Adobe and it should remain that way for a long time to come. There is also an alternative site where you can download the trial version and activate it to full use with your serial number. The links for both are provided below. For the second you need to follow the instructions carefully for the downloads to work.

Installing CS3 as a demo

Can I use the real Install DVDs for Creative Suite Standard (CS3) to run as a 30day demo. Or do I have to download a special demo dmg?
I've just got a new intel mac so would like to do this until I can upgrade a different license CS2 to CS3 with a free (hopefully) CS4.

Thanks, I couldn't remember from installing all that time ago, but I knew someone here would :)

Problems Installing CS3 after CS4 install.

About 3 weeks ago or so i downloaded the beta for Dreamweaver CS4. And just a couple of days ago i tried to reinstall Flash CS3 from my CS3 Master Suite and i got this message.
Component install failed. The original installation media has been moved or deleted. Please replace the media at its original location: C:\Documents and Settings\Lucas\Desktop\AdobeCS4\Dreamweaver CS4 Beta\payloads\AdobeALMAnchorService2-mul\AdobeALMAnchorServices2-mul.msi
Right now i am trying to uninstall the DW CS4 but has anyone ran into a problem like this or have any advise on how i can fix this?

>SURELY that is implied?
Absolutely not! My guess is that the average user knows what "beta" means and the implication not to use it for real work, just in case. If they can take the time to warn you about that then they could at least let us know of potential problems in simply removing the damn thing. In fact, not so much removing it, I can live with it on my machine, it's the realization that it can seriously interfere with further installations - of their own software! If I remember correctly the beta release was displayed prominently on the Adobe homepage - "BE THE FIRST TO TRY IT!" or something similar, the implication, to my mind, is that it's safe to download.
With my fingers crossed, I hope that my upgrade to CS4 will be trouble free so it may not be a problem, but it obviously is to Lucas at the moment. I've downloaded numerous betas and removed them without any problem and assumed Dreamweaver CS4 would be the same. As I said, the average user thinks of the bugs being in the operation of the program. I now know that there's much more risk involved (with Adobe at least) and I'll be more cautious in the future.

New Quad-Core Computer with Vista64, 8gb ram ; Should I install CS3 or CS4?

Hello Friends,
I have been reading the forum trying to gain foresight before I spend very limited cash for hardware and software.
On Black Friday eve, I spent the night waiting at Best Buy to get the door-buster-deal on an HP desktop with AMD 9500 quad-core, 8gb ddr2 800MHz ram, Windows Vista 64 Home Premium, 760gb hard drive (7200rpm, ESATA 3.0gb transfer), second internal capture drive 500gb(7200rpm ESATA 3.0gb transfer), 1 TB external storage. This machine is only for my photography and video editing. I do wedding photography.
I have photoshop CS3 full version, so I can upgrade to CS4 Creative Suite for $1,100.00. I can also buy a full version copy of CS3 Creative Suite for $500.00 new in the box with all manuals.
With all the complaints about CS4, would I be better off buying CS3? Is CS4 worth $600 more? Have all the bugs been worked out of CS3?
I can upgrade 3 months after they release CS 5 for the $600 and skip some of the heart ache?
Please tell me what you think?
Jeffrey

Any option (CS3, CS4 or waiting for CS5 in 16-18 months) are all logical options for various reasons.
For you though, you might get the best mileage out of CS4, as there are certain advantages when running on Vista 64 (versus CS3, for which very little was done to take advantage of the extra features of Vista 64). In particular, Photoshop will run a 64-bit app on Vista 64. Premiere Pro also has some additional functionality on Vista 64.
CS5 should probably bring more full-fledged 64-bit apps, and better features in general (or at least one would hope). but it's not likely to be released or announced even until Q1 2010.

Flash CS4 Demo - Buggy

I downloaded and installed the Flash CS4 demo today to give
it a trial run. It crashed as soon as I attempted to use it. I
attempted again and now have the SBBOD. Oh, and now Flash CS3
crashes too after having installed the upgrade. Naturally bad
timing since I'm working on a Flash project.
I'm on a Mac with OS 10.4.11
[Edited] I found the separate Uninstall File, so I'll remove
Flash CS4 from my system. Hopefully I can get Flash CS3 back and
running.

Hi Valerie,
In Flash CS4, we changed how Flash reads fonts from your
machine to be compatible with other Adobe applications. However, it
seems Flash has trouble with corrupt fonts, fonts with missing
glyphs, and fonts with misleading information about their font
types. Flash CS3 was more forgiving.
Anyway, please try the following:
Try creating a new user account on your mac and use Flash
with that user. If Flash works correctly for this new user, it
might be due to a corrupt font. You can use Font Book to scroll
through all of the fonts on your system and look for any that don't
show any preview. Remove all of these fonts and retry using Flash
with your original user account.
Thanks,
Nivesh

Vista 64 bit CS3 and CS4 compatibility

Hi,
I have a new computer on the way with a Vista 64 bit OS (home premium). I have CS3 Web Standard and recently upgraded to CS4 Design Premium. I've deactivated on my old machine and am hoping to install CS3 and CS4 on the new machine, once it arrives in a few days. Will these creative suites be compatible and install on the 64 bit Vista OS?
When I upgraded, I think the upgrade required me to have CS3 on the computer, so I suspect in order to put CS4 on the new machine, CS3 will first have to be installed.
Has anyone successfully installed CS3 and then a CS4 upgrade on Vista 64?
Kind Regards,
saratogacoach

Thanks, Bob.
The new computer arrived a few hours ago, and I successfully installed CS4, only needing the serial number for CS3.
The machine has the new Core i7, but with 6G's of RAM, not 8. So, I'm hoping that the programs will run OK.
Again, thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,
saratogacoach

Installing CS3 Premium with CS4 demo installed impossible...

I am attempting to merely install Adobe CS3 Design premium on a mac that has the CS4 demo installed. During installation it ejects the DVD and asks to put in the CS4 disk...
I don't have CS4 disks.
Any clues? The plethora of Adobe install and updates issues are well known, and won't add yet another rant here, just looking to see if anyone else has seen this and knows of a possible fix.
Thank you.
Starts with "Currently repairing Shared components", and then it ejects the DVD and then says:
"Installer Alert: Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium: Please insert Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to continue installation".
What? Why?!

Update... using the adobe CS3clean script fixed this.
So strange. But thanks.

Can CS3.3 & CS4 Master play nice installed on same machine at same time?

First off here are the specs on my desktop and laptop:
Desktop:
Mac Pro running OSX 10.5.6 - 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core - 6 GB RAM - CS3.3 Master Collection currently installed
Laptop:
MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.6 - 2.4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo - 2 GB RAM - CS3.3 Master Collection currently installed
I recently received all the install discs for CS4. Spent the last hour researching how CS3 and CS4 play together when installed on same machine at same time. I haven't found anything that addresses my questions, thus the post.
At present, not enough of my work colleagues have CS4, so if I install CS4 and uninstall CS3 - and need to pass a file on to someone who doesn't have CS4, they can't open it in CS3.
Also, I use AfterEffects with many 3rd party plugins. Until I can verify that CS4 plays nice with these plugins, I can't afford to uninstall AfterEffects CS3. Obviously, I need to keep CS3 up and running on my desktop and laptop.
But now that I have CS4 ready to install, I of course want to start using it and learning the new features.
Has anyone successfully been able to install CS4 Master apps on a machine similar to either my desktop or laptop specs and have CS3.3 Master apps continue to work properly?
I trust Adobe takes these types of version overlaps seriously and plans for them since people want to try out or start using the newest version but ensure there is a sufficient overlap period before uninstalling the older versions.
Thanks for your comments

j,
Your old apps will work. But the new versions will be the defaults. You can touch your files to the old application to launch it or launch the old application first, and then open files "normally".
If you need to ensure compatibility with older versions on other machines, don't delete the old apps. Or be prepared to save back to the old version before handing off the files. Note that InDesign cannot save back more than one version and in general, any features used that are new to the new apps will not be recognized when those files are saved back.

Enabling Installation of CS3 and CS4 products that will not install on Windows 7 64Bit.

Adobe installers are not known for their helpful or forgiving ways & I have more than once had to reinstall Windows when installation of CS3 and CS4 products has failed with patently inscrutable errors.
The background to the current issue that I was attempting to install PS CS4 on a W7 system which already had CS CS3 installed. The CS4 installer threw up inscrutable messages indicating that the installation could not proceed and to contact Adobe (they are joking right ? Their phone & web support is notoriously UN-helpful).
After reading through threads suggesting that I uninstall CS3, apply CS3 and CS4 cleaning scripts I was in exactly same position I have found myself in on least 2 occasions with WinXP. By this time I couldn't event get CS CS3 to reinstall!
Then I decided to review the event log and found a number of installer events thrown up by the Adobe installers resembling "Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\xxxxxxxx".
I tracked down this very helpful solution which allowed me to change the registry permissions on the parent key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\ Components and propagate the new permissions down to the child keys.
http://www.okino.com/conv/changing_windows_registry_permissions.htm.
My advice is to follow instructions for "A More All-Encompassing Solution" and propagate the permissions right down to all the child keys as I could see a number of separate adobe installer errors in the event log. Also note the instruction to change the Owner from 'System' to 'Administrators' in Advanced settings. This is necessary in order for the Permissions change to be accepted and replace all the child object permissions.
As with most registry changes good advice to backup your registry hive first (although I didn't; by this time I was already expecting to have to reinstall Windows) and restart your system after making the registry changes before attempting to install / reinstall CS3 or CS4 products.
Hope this solution works as well for others as it did for me as the Adobe support on this issue has been next to useless.
[P.S. Q: Did you hear the joke about the guy who worked on product installation at Adobe rocking up at job interview with 'Adobe Installation Project Team' on his Resume? A: That that is the joke! If you wanted another job in installation development you would hardly admit to experience at Adobe ;)]

We don’t want people messing with the registry when they don’t need.
My apologies John I didn't realize that I was addressing the official custodian of Photoshop.
Incidentally my advice is intended for others in a similar situation who find themselves stalled during installation and otherwise contemplating a re-installation of Windows. I believe this would be obvious to most forum participants who had actually read my original post.

Trouble installing plugins for CS3 and CS4 onto a 32 bit/64 bit PC.

I have two new PCs. They are supposed to run both 32 Bit and 64 Bit programs.
I have CS3 and CS4 32 Bit programs installed on both.
Many of my old faithful plugins have gone on strike or at least a work stoppage!
I can get some of them to install correctly, but some arre just not cooperating.
Is there a workaround for this problem?
I have considered:
1. Creating a partition for Window 7 32 bit, but I am not so technically savvy to be confident that I would do it correctly
2. Buy an older 32 bit machine and install windows 7, but that is getting to the edge of too pricey.
Any suggestions?
I really need some of those plugins! I have built a business around them.

The truth is that you can run Windows 7 and Windows 8, in both 32 and 64-bit versions, without any problem (you have a 64-bit processor). The problem is that Apple only supports a 32-bit Windows 7 version for your Mac. Why? Because Apple wanted to drop the Windows 8 support for the computer you are using.
You can see in this page all the Macs compatible with 64-bit Windows editions > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 As you can see, your Mac isn't supported, so you can only install a 32-bit Windows 7 version with Boot Camp if you want to run Windows correctly.
I told you at the beggining that you can install any 32 or 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions on your Mac because your iMac meets the requirements for both editions. However, you need the Boot Camp drivers to make Windows run properly, and here's where Apple has dropped a lot of computers, making them unusable if you install a version that Apple clasifies as unsupported. Sad but that's true

Installing Cs3 Creative Suite: "insert illustator cs4 disc to continue" ?!?!?

No that is not a typo. I was installing CS3 from a disc and it started installing, but then this message appeared "Please insert Illustrator CS4 disc to continue". I have had AI cs4 on my computer before, as a trial, and then i uninstalled it. So maybe i uninstalled it incorrectly, I dont know. But there is now no AI CS4 on my computer, and it is asking me for a disc for a CS3 installation.
This also occurs with any CS3 program installation. I havent tried installing a cs4 program yet, but i dont want cs4.
This also occured with a CS3 trail download from adobe, so it is not a disc problem.
Can anyone help?!?! ah!!!!!

ok so i have read this post with the same problem
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1965766#1965766
i have run the cleanup script and i have also looked at this article:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407277
So my problem would be solved if i was reinstalling the software, but i am not reinstalling, i am installing a fresh version of indesign ive never had on my computer before.
Please help!

Installing CS3 on a Computer that is pre-installed with CS4

I purchased a laptop that is licensed to pre-load CS4 Master suite. I receive no cd or serial number or anything. I called Adobe to make sure that this was legal and was told that Adobe does do this with big sellers. Anyway I received the first laptop and did a migration and because I have other CS versions on my computer the license for the CS4 disappeared. I sent the computer back and I now have another. I am teaching at two different schools and still need my CS3. Adobe advised me to not install CS3 because they share some folders or something. Is there a way to install CS3 without ruining CS4?

never heard of preinstalled Adobe software
to install CS3 you must uninstall CS4 then install CS3 then reinstall CS4.
CS3 and CS4 both coexist together.

After Upgrade to CS4 ... Can I Install CS3 on Different Computer

Here is a licensing question ...
I deactivated CS3 on an older Mac and did a clean install of a CS4 upgrade to a new Mac (I just used the CS3 serial number to validate the upgrade). So, now I'm wondering if the CS license would allow me to legally install the old CS3 on a different computer? I know I can legally install it on the same computer, but what about a different computer?

The CS4 license replaces the CS3 license. Legally, they're tied together.
