  • Full version pshop CS (8), upgraded to CS4. Recieved the free upgrade to CS5... will this work?

    Hi,
    Appologies if this seems like a stupid enquiry. I'll keep it quick and simple.
    I had been running a full version of photoshop CS (aka photoshop version 8). I just bought the upgrade to CS4 and also (to answer other questions on this forum) I just received the free upgrade to CS5 from Adobe. Not having an intel Mac yet I plan to sit on my CS5 upgrade till I have the machine to run it. My question to anyone who knows/has done this, can I install my CS5 upgrade given that my original full copy of photoshop was version CS (ie. more than 3 versions back)...?
    I have seen this discussion:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2734196#2734196
    but it still leaves me unsure (would Tai Lao be able to install CS5 if he wanted too I wonder...???).
    Before anyone asks I have asked Adobe via the customer support portal and they said that I 'could install CS5 upgrade from CS4 upgrade' (which still doesn't answer the question, does my having CS stop me upgrading to CS5 due to the "3 version back upgrade policy"...?
    Thanks for the help!

    Matt,
    Focus for a second please:
    All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS.  If the upgrade does not find a previous version installed, it will simply ask you for the old serial number as well.  That's all.
    You now have a valid CS4 serial number.  When you install CS5, the installer will look for a previously installed version.  If you have installed CS4, it will proceed automatically to install CS5.  If you did not install CS4, just use its serial number when prompted. (NOTE:  This is based on the assumption that CS was indeed a qualifying version to upgrade to CS4.  I don't remember what the requirements were back then.)
    I have Photoshop 7.0.1, 8 (CS), 9.0.2 (CS2), 10.1 (CS3) and 11.0.1 (CS4) installed on my machine.  All those are upgrades from my original full version 4 of Photoshop from many, many years ago.  I can run all of them on my machine, even simultaneously If I wanted to, by launching the older version(s) first.  In practice, I have run two versions simultaneously without any problems.
    Just have your CS4 serial number handy.
    Now, be advised that an awful lot of users are having nightmarish difficulties with the CS5 installer.  If you run into trouble, don't blame it on the serial number, just blame the extraordinarily incompetent members of the pathetic installer team.  That's a team outside of the Photoshop engineering team that has proven a disgraceful embarrassment to Adobe engineers and executives.  A senior program manager has even admitted in private correspondence that he can't write in public what he would like to do to the members of the installer team.

    Of course I could, if I wanted to and had an Intel machine.  However, I have rejected Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I will stay with CS4 and Tiger 10.0.4.11 for the foreseeable future, which means for the remainder of my life expectancy, as I can't afford a new machine.

    Matt, the "3 version back upgrade policy" simply means that you have to have a valid serial number for one of the three versions, and you do have a valid number for CS4, which in turn was based on your valid number for CS.
    Stop tormenting yourself.

  • CS5 installed - best way to remove CS4?

    Any thoughts on the safest way to remove CS4 now that I have CS5 running fine?
    I'm afraid to just drag to trash as I have AppCleaner installed and it will want to delete lots of related files as well (maybe I SHOULD?)
    Thanks,
    tom

    Jim-
    Thanks for quick reply... that is just what I will do.
    Do you know if it will keep Bridge CS4?  I need it for Elements 8 ... and as I just learned for making contact sheets since you cannot run the contact sheet II plugin in CS5 unless you run 32 bit...
    In any event, there is no going back now.... I'm over the Rubicon :-)
    thanks,
    tom

  • Remove CS4 after installing CS5

    Hi...
    Just bought CS5 Design Premium upgrade (from CS4). While waiting for CS5 to arrive, I downloaded the trial version of CS4. This did NOT overwrite CS4. When I receive CS5, I plan on just putting the serial number in the trial version. That will leave CS4 on my computer.
    2 questions...
    1. Can I delete CS4 (after installing CS5) using add/remove without messing up the CS5 installation?
    2. If I remove the trial version and install CS5 when I receive it, will it automatically remove/overwrite CS4?
    Thanks for your help...

    1. Yes, but there's no good reason to do so.
    2. No, the trial is identical to purchased version. Just enter your serial number and you should be good to go.

  • I own CS4, upgraded to CS5, then joined CS6, CC... and now I installed CC14. Which will be the best way to delete or uninstall the programs I don't need keeping only CC14 without running into issues? I have an Alienware Area 51 PC running Windows 7.

    There is none. Whatever you do to get rid of the older versions will inevitably do damage to shared components and other stuff of the new versions as well. That's just how it is with this approach... Uninstall the older versions, run the cleaner tool then reinstall CC 2014.

  • Installed CS5, now can't export from CS4! Help! "Could not read from the source..."

    I installed CS5 but completely ignored the fact plugins were required to be 64-bit. It'll be months before the plugins I require for my projects to be updated!
    So I continued editing in CS4 and when I attempted to export with the media encoder it halts instantly with an exclamation mark, the log says :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been  deleted."
    And yes I'm not stupid, I did my research.
    I tried uninstalling CS4 and reinstalling. I tried the shortcut fix. I tried moving my cache files. My extensions are correct.
    Right now the only fix seems to be completely removing CS5 and CS4, After Effects just because they share files (?) and all my settings and plugins along with it! I'd rather NOT do that if I can!

    Good detective work, and glad that it worked. Now, your cure will be here for us to link to and for others to find. Your title will help direct others to this thread. Job well done.

  • Problem uninstalling CS4 after installing CS5 - help!

    I installed CS5 without a hitch.
    I then tried to uninstall CS4. I opened Photoshop and chose Help/Deactivate, taking care to tick the serial number box too.
    After the uninstall procedure, I got an message that it had completed but with errors.
    In Control Panel/Programs, CS4 is still listed, but now showing only 3.77Mb instead of the 300Mb+ that it was.
    I then downloaded Adobe Support Advisor and ran it. The diagnosis directed me to this Knowledge Base Article.......
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403891.html#ionComHeading
    1. Can I get rid of what remains of CS4 in my Control Panel?
    2. Will it affect my system in any way?
    3. Will it affect CS5 in any way?
    I've never had a problem uninstalling older versions in the past. Not a happy bunny at all!
    Thanks.
    D.
    ps. I couldn't not insert the above link by right clicking and choosing insert link - had to type it by hand. But, the kb number (403891) is definitely correct.

    I've never had a problem uninstalling older versions in the past.
    ...but then you probably obeyed the correct order in the first place. Anyway, there is no harm in leaving the remnants in place. you can of course make them disappear by removing the relevant registry key(s), but how important that little cosmetic surgery is to you, is for you to decide.

  • Uninstalling CS4 after installing CS5

    Hi,
    I have just installed the CS5 upgrade (Master Collection). Now I have CS4 and 5 installed, which is unnecessary.
    Question 1: Can I uninstall CS4 without deleting any important files like libraries, templates, brushes, actions, etc?
    Question 2: What is the best way to uninstall CS4?
    Thanks,
    Rogier

    Hi Roger:
    Would be curious to hear what happened with your uninstall. I encountered a similar situation, checked with NAPP due to the many problems I have had with Adobe Support. The uninstall almost worked.
    However, when I removed CS4 from my lap top, the CS5 executable programs disappeared from <Start> <All Programs> <Adobe>. I used Explorer to see what files were installed, and they were all there. So I either have to execute them from Explorer, or reinstall to make life a bit easier. So I am in the process of reinstalling. Think I will leave both sets on my Desktop.
    Below is the information NAPP sent me. There are some good hints if you have customized Actions.
    From NAPP:
      You can uninstall through Start menu> Control Panel> Add and Remove Programs.   But before you do, consider these steps:
    --Open Photoshop CS4.
    --In the Actions palette, select a set of custom Actions (a set, not an individual Action).
    --From the Actions palette menu select Save Actions.
    --Choose a location, assign a name (using the .atn file extension), click Save.
    --Repeat for any additional sets of Actions.
    --If you have any custom brushes, styles, etc., use Edit> Preset Manager to create and save sets.
    --Quit Photoshop CS4.
    --Open Photoshop CS5.
    --From the Actions palette menu choose Load Actions.
    --Navigate to and select your .atn files to load them into the palette.
    --Use Edit> Preset Manager to load other custom items.
      Also check the other programs of the Creative Suite for custom templates and such that you want to save.

  • Do I need to install CS4 full version before installing CS5 upgrade?

    New hard drive in iMac. I have a full version of CS4 design premium and an upgrade version of CS5. Do I have to install both? Or can I just install CS5 upgrade and somehow use my CS4 full serial number to validate the CS5?

    You have the right idea.  You do not have to install CS4.  At some point during installation of CS5 you will be required to enter the serial number for CS4 in order to confirm it as a valid upgrade installation

    Hi  - I recently purchased a new iMac. I have a registered cs5 design premium package which is an upgrade - I have no disc for cs4 but have the qualifying serial number for it. I have installed cs5 via download onto my iMac but it is not accepting the serial number. Can anybody help. Does anybody else think that Adobe will loose a lot of customers by not providing any chat or call support for cs5 users??

    You can support serial number and activation support.

  • Installing CS5 on top of CS4

    I've just installed a CS5 upgrade on top of CS4 which itself was an upgrade on top of a full CS2
    I'm planning now on un-installing the "2" and "4" to just leave the "5" in situ
    Is there any technical reason for leaving them in situ
    Any answerrs will be gratefully received
    Many thanks
    Harrold3 

    Photoshop does not install "on top of" its predecessors, but along side.  As you have seen, they can all coexist, though you can only run one at a time.
    That said, the uninstaller for older versions of Photoshop chances undoing some of the file associations that the later installer has set up.
    For this reason, most people advise just leaving them in situ, if you're not hurting for disk space.
    And who knows, you may find something you think isn't working the way you expect, then want to close Photoshop and go back and open the old version just to see how you had it set up.

  • Two versions of Bridge installed - CS5 and CS5.1 - how to remove one?

    Looks like this happened by installing Photoshop CS5.1 first, then Flash CS5 after that.  Now I have two versions of Adobe Bridge, along with Extension Manager and a bunch of other redundant stuff now
    This is causing me multiple problems:
    1) the right-click menu "Browse with Adobe Brigde CS5" is set to the old version.  Probably because it installed afterward (?).  This is no good.  I want it to default to the newer version obviously.
    2) I am getting a lot of performance errors - the "not enough drive space" kind of error, when I just try to zoom in on a single small image in a folder with only a couple images in it.  Bear in mind I have 12GB of RAM running here.
    How do uninstall the old versions!??  Note, I ALSO have an old old version of Adobe Bridge that came from an install of some CS2 components!!!  It's out of control and aggravating.
    Please help
    - Jon

    It is usually recommeded you keep old versions rather than removing them.  Some users run in to file association problems when removing older versions.  The file association goes back to the version removed if you can comprehend that.
    The versions should not conflict with one another.  HOWEVER, you can run only one Bridge version at a time.
    It is also recommended you install programs in order.  So if you installed the newer one first and then the older one you can upset the file associate order.  You can try to fix that first and then uninstall if that does not work.  Go go edit.file type associations see what the dafault programs are listed as CS5 or CS5.1.  There is a radio button on the bottom to reset these to factory default, and this sometimes works.
    If not I would uninstall CS5 and CS5.1 and install the older one first.  Or if you don't want CS5 on machine just install CS5.1.  To be on the safe side you could run Adobe Script cleaner which will delete bits that the uninstall process did not get.

  • Want to remove Elements 9 and install CS5 on my laptop

  • Can I deactivate cs4 after I installed cs5?

    I installed and activated cs5 and already had cs4 running on pc.  I want to transfer cs4 to colleague so I need to deactivate cs4 and uninstall.  Can I do deactivate and uninstall cs4 safely after I have installed and used cs5?  Thanks for any advice
    >>> Actually, I just read on another discussion re cs3 and cs5 - it is recommended that you deactivate and uninstall the earlier version before installing the newer version and to just use the old serial number when prompted by the new cs5 install. So i think the best solution is to un-install cs5, then deactivate and un-install cs4 and then re-install cs5.

    If you don't want to keep the older version:
    uninstall the older version first, BEFORE installing the new version.
    The Adobe Uninstallers have a nasty habit of messing with essential support files of the new version because they mistake them for the older versions.  When that happens, you have to jump through hoops just to uninstall the damaged version, as not even the Uninstaller will work on it. (You would need something called the CS3Clean Script, CS4Clean Script aor CS5Clean.  Avoid having to go there.  Honest.)
    All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS.  The Upgrade installer will simply ask you for the old serial numbers when it doesn't find an older qualifying version installed.
    Once more:
    Do NOT uninstall an older version after upgrading to a new one; do it BEFORE.
    Foretold is forewarned.

  • Installing CS5, uninstalling CS4

    My office just installed CS5 (yeah!) on the MacBookPro I use. It didn't delete or override CS4, which still is in the computer's  applications folder occupying memory. Should I uninstall CS4 or simply delete its folders by hand. I need to make sure I will not uninstall any CS4 pluggins that CS5 needs.

    The behavior is as designed. All major versions install independently. The bad news is that you will have to properly uninstall and in the process it will affect CS5's shared components, requiring to reinstall CS5 again afterwards.
