Installing and Registering CS5.5 upgrade

I am currently using CS5 Design Premium. I am trying to install and register CS5.5 upgrade so I can claim my free CS6 upgrade. Installation disk has accepted my new CS5.5 serial number but wants a CS4 Serial number as proof of upgrade. I have CS5, CS3, CS2 Serial numbers but not CS4 which I by-passed. What can I do to install software?

As Michael said, you have ordered the wrong upgrade package. Get in touch with sales.

How to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to Lion 10.7 if I have Adobe Photoshop CS2?

I recently upgraded to a new Macboook Pro and with that upgrade am using Lion version 10.7. On my previous MBP I had Snow Leopard installed. Also had Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 installed on that and then later upgraded to CS5 on that machine. Now with Lion I am unable to do that. I aware of the technical hurdle.....Lion does not support Rosetta or PowerPC applications and therefore I cannot load CS2 on there initially and then upgrade to CS5. So does this mean that I am screwed unless I buy a full version of Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 to put on Lion? Or is there a workaround?
I still have the old MBP so I could migrate all the files from the old computer to the new computer. Short of that is there any other workaround? If I gave the serial numbers of CS2 and the CS5 upgrade to a rep at Adobe could they unlock CS5 for me so that I can download it to my new MBP?
On another note does anyone think about backward compatibility anymore? Has Apple totally lost its mind? And will Adobe cash in on this opportunity? Is it too much to ask for a representative from Adobe to get back to you after posting your callback number? Customer service does not exist.....its is unprofitable to actually "serve" customer because a customer is a tool to be exploited as are all resources in a corporation.
This is American corporatism at its finest. You have a software monopoly with Adobe on one hand along with a computer manufacture that is not competent enough to produce a backward compatible operating system. If these companies operated for the consumers benefit they would be out of business.
There is no way I'm paying for a new version of the Adobe software. Surely someone can understand my frustration and that this frustration is be being echoed by hundreds of users. But apparently we are stupid right? We are stupid because we just want to be able to smoothly transfer stuff that we have paid so much for to a new operating system but cannot. And thats because on a whim it all changes.

Shaidipur when you install Photoshop CS 5 it will request your qualifying serial number. Assuming you purchased the proper update simply type in your Photoshop CS2 serial number.
In regards to compatability I believe their is a maximize compatibility option within Photoshop. For further details I would recommend posting your question into the Photoshop forum.

I bought at Media Market the CD for installing Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 but I have no disc drive. Is it possible to install and register it online?

I was in the same boat as you, so I went to Best Buy and purchased the box (on sale, by the way). I then downloaded the trials separately for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements from the Adobe product site.
In the box you should have been given 2 discs (one for Photoshop Elements (PS) and one for Premiere Elements (PE)) and something called a "redemption code" on a square of colorful cardboard with instructions on how to get your serial keys for installation. The single redemption code is NOT the serial/product key you use to install your purchase. Once you follow the instructions on this card you will be shown two serial/product codes, one each for PE and PS. Write them down, print them, whatever, you will need them during installation.
Now go to the downloaded trial file(s) and run the installer, either for PE first or PS, it makes no difference. During the installation you will be asked if you want to start a trial or use a serial/product code. Choose "I have a code". Enter the product key and you will be golden. Repeat for the other program.
Hope this helps!

I installed a creative Cloud a month ago for a free trial. Last week, i bought a licence of Lightroom 5. Now, how can i install and register my licence of Lightroom 5 on my computer?

That creative cloud installation of Lightroom will have to be uninstalled. It cannot be activated with the serial number you have. You can download the trial version from one of these two websites, and activate it with your serial number:
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
You will not lose any of the work you may have done using the trial version. In the future, when posting questions it would really help if you would identify your operating system and other pertinent computer information.

Installing and Registering QuickTime 7 Pro

Hi,
I just paid for a download of QuickTime 7 Pro, downloaded and installed (including restarting) it but it doesn't seem to be the Pro version. It seems to be the free version and when I try register it says My registration is invalid.
Information about QT is that is is QT 7.1.3??? No mention of "Pro".
Any suggestions?
Adrienne

when I try register it says my registration is invalid. WHY?Did you copy and paste the registration information (to include name with any salutation used to purchase Pro) to the proper entry fields? Both name and number are significant and must be exact.

I am having the very same issues, admittedly with and older (5 yrs) Windows Vista 32-bit Dell laptop. I had been holding out for a little while on allowing iTunes to upgrade on my computer, and had no issues or complaints with iTunes 7, 8, or 9. But after I allowed it to upgrade today, 10.7 is worthless.
After a few minutes, iTunes pops up with a message regarding insufficient memory, freezes, then crashes. Not even using video, just putting together a playlist of regular file size songs.
I know after reading a bit on the boards that trying to re-install version 9 may cause some things to be lost in translation from 10 to 9, apparently because of some changes in the way the software is set up. Please correct me if that is not the case.
However, I would rather risk it (I have all of my music files on an external hard drive) than to keep having iTunes behave as it is- making the software that I've been using for years worthless to me since it cannot work correctly.
By the by, I know my laptop is ancient by technology standards, but won't be upgrading quite yet.
If you know a reliable source to download the previous versions of iTunes for Windows, I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. I'm fairly computer savvy, and know that I'll need to un-install the most recent iTunes version prior to installing an older version.

I just had a new hard drive installed and want to upgrade from the 10.5.8 operating system What do I need to purchase?

Would time machine be able to backup applications I installed and registered such as Adobe CS6 Master collection?

Hi,
So I have purchased some seriously expesive software such as Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection and Office Mac Home & Business and would like to know if the time machine backup includes this ****? If not, will there be any backup utility to have the **** saved??
Thanks,
Hassan

Time Machine will backup applications along with your files and the operating system. However some applications have measures built-in that tie the particular installed copy to the particular machine it was originally installed on. You might think therefore that restoring it from the Time Machine backup to the same machine should be straight forward and depending on the application it might be so. However it depends on how it determines if it is the same machine.
It is unlikely to be as simple as just the serial number of the machine, it might be the hardware UUID of the Mac which I believe would stay the same even after a complete reformat but the UUID might change after a logic board change unlike the serial number. (Apple generally copy the serial number to a new replacement logic board when doing repairs.) It might also be linked to the UUID of the hard disk volume the Application is installed on. This will change each time you format the disk or use a different disk or volume. It could be tied to something else as well.
You can find the Mac serial number and UUID in System Profiler. You can find the UUID of a volume by using the following command in Terminal.app
e.g. diskutil info /dev/disk0s2
For the command above you need to use the numbers that match the volume you are interested in, you can get a list of all the numbers and which volume they correspond to via
diskutil list
Of course knowing the UUID numbers does not help if Adobe are indeed using them to tie a particular installed copy since you cannot change the UUID numbers yourself. If you are deliberately planning to swap a drive or do a restore then for such protected applications like those from Adobe and Microsoft it is best to deactivate the installed copy (Adobe also use Product Activation to track installed copies) and then uninstall it. Then like Gary Scotland said, use the installer to reinstall it.
Note: Even cloning a drive does not preserve the UUID values of a volume.

Can't install new boxed CS5 upgrade

I keep trying to enter my CS4 number when I am trying to upgrade my Photoshop to CS5. Where do I find my photoshop number? Of course, the entire call center is closed for the weekend. PS5 refuses to see any creative suite number as valid? I have boxes of every upgrade since CS came out here, 1,2,3 &4. None of the serials allow me to upgrade.

I also sympathize.
The FAQ states:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/
Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from an earlier Creative Suite edition to an individual CS component?
No. Adobe does not offer upgrade pricing for customers wishing to move from a suite edition to an individual CS component. For complete upgrade information for the product you are interested in, consult that product's upgrade eligibility page or the general upgrade information page. You can also use the upgrade eligibility tool to determine which upgrades you are eligible for based on the products you currently own.
But I think Adobe could make it clear in a sidebar on every product information page so people do not fall into these traps.
Not everyone drills down into the fineprint - or is even aware that they need to. Adobe does overcomplicate things at times.

Upgrade install problem Photoshop CS5 from CS2, MacOS 10.6.8

Hello,
My wife was using Adobe Photoshop CS2 for a long time. We purchased a Photoshop CS5 upgrade in 2010 through Amazon, but she never installed it after reading about problems other people had with the upgrade. It was still in its shrink wrap seal until last night.
Then she recently went to upgrade her Mac laptop to 10.9 Mavericks from 10.6 Snow Leopard, and discovered that Photoshop CS2 will no longer work since CS2 was a PowerPC application. No problem - we thought we'd just finally install that CS5 upgrade first. The Amazon web page where we bought the product stated that this was a valid upgrade path, so we thought we would not have a problem. However, when we went to do the install, we received an "Inconsistency in the installer database" error.
Going to the support live chat, we were told by Yaseer that we could no longer upgrade from CS2 to CS5 because the CS2 "server" was shut down, and we should go to the forums for help with this instead.
Now what? We own a legal copy of PS CS2, and bought a legal upgrade copy of PS CS5 with the understanding that this was a legal upgrade path, purchased from a reputable dealer (Amazon), but now it doesn't work. There must be something that can be done here.
I'm not using my wife's Adobe id which she used to register her product, but I can provide that id as well as the serial numbers for CS2 and the CS5 upgrade.

run the cleaner, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
restart your computer
then try to install cs5.
if you're prompted for a cs2 serial number and your cs2 number fails, use the one linked from this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
