Installing CS4 Production Suite -- CS3 Remains in Tact?

Probably a dumb question, but when I purchase my CS4 Production Suite upgrade, it's a completely new install, yes? CS3 applications are unaffected across the board I assume.
I'm excited to get CS4 on board, but I have a lot invested in AE CS3 as far as plug-ins go and am watching/waiting to see when my plugs will be CS4 compatible.
Thanks for the thoughts.

One point of caution. There's a known issue where uninstalling CS3 after having both CS3 and CS4 co-installed will cause a problem with Adobe Media Encoder. It will crash with an error about source file not found. So if you must have both versions installed for a while, please remember to uninstall CS4 and reinstall it AFTER you remove CS3.

AE CS4 loses the mxf support when update the CS4 production suite

I have this problem when updating the CS4 production suite - the support for mxf in AE is gone and this happend almost every time I use the Adobe update. My only solution is to install AE again. Is there a fix for this?

That was just a shot in the dark. The XDCAM codecs are among the codecs that installed separately because they aren't included in the trial version; they get installed when you activate the software (i.e., enter the serial number).
I'd be curious to know whether you can import AVCHD footage when the XDCAM footage isn't working, since those codecs are part of the same package. So are the CC effect plug-ins and Keylight. Do those appear as installed when you have the XDCAM problem?

Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

Are you talking about adobe creative cloud?
If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything. I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it. that means you really do not own it.
About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud). so ether way, it will take some space.
Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud. The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions. if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

Install CS4 upgrade without CS3 installed?

Hello,
I'm moving all my production software from XP pro SP3 to a new Vista Untimate SP1 machine. Nothing is installed on the Vista yet, I just received my CS4 production prem upgrade suite, can I just install CS4 on the Vista machine without installing CS3 first since this is an upgrade version?
thanks.
Don

I have installed the cs4 upgrade but it requested for my cs3 serial #. Now I don't know if the cs3 is still useful or I can' t install it on another coputer again . Or will I still need it in the future parhaps my coputer crached and I want to reinstall all the soft ware. Will I need cs3 again before I can install cs4 upgrade.
Thanks, Emma

TROUBLE RE-INSTALLING CS4 PRODUCTION PREMIUM

I was having trouble exporting videos from CS4 Premiere through Encoureso I attempted to reinstall the program disk for CS4 Prouction Premium. I ran into several errors so I attempted to uninstall all of the programs and was unable to uninstall - yet I was also unable to open any of the programs. After contacting Adobe I was directed to use CC cleaner to uninstall the programs. Since then I have been unable to reinstall the CS4 Production Premium Suite from the disc. I get the following error: "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adove Customer Supoprt for assistance." I have been unable to contact customer support. Not sure how I am to proceed with re-installing my programs.

Nobody can say anything without some system information and install logs

Alert when installing CS4 trial suite on Windows 7

Hi,
When I try to install CS4 trial software on Windows 7 Family Premium I get a message saying I do not have Windows XP 64 bits or Vista 64 bits and I should upgrade my system... How come?
I have a new Toshiba laptop with 4gb of RAM and 500Gb of HD.
I see setup.exe dates back from September 2008 so it is not surprising Windows 7 is not recognized. Should I install anyway?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your time.
Yes the message is about upgrading to Vista or XP because the requirements are not satisfied. But I have Windows 7 Home Premium...
Here is a copy of the message:
The minimum system requirements listed below are recommended in order to run Adobe Creative Suite CS4 properly and are not met:
Windows XP 64-Bit Service Pack 1 and greater
Windows Vista 64-Bit Service Pack 1 and greater
It is recommended that you upgrade or adjust your system to meet these minimum requirements and the restart the installer.
I finally decided to continue the install and it seemed ok. The only problem I have is with Dreamweaver because I cannot put the right root folder in the website setup dialog (I select the right folder but it writes the folder above it).

Installing CS4 production premium on new imac

I purchased CS4 Production Premium back in 2009 and am trying to install it on my new iMac. I haven't installed it on another computer and was hoping to do so on this one. From what I've read online I need to use my install discs, but since the new iMacs have no cd drive, this presents a problem. What do I do?

Ahh, I see. I have heard that After Effects, Premiere, and Soundbooth don't work. And I switched to production premium from design premium because of after effects....
Anyway, perhaps I'll go ahead and try installing it.
Thank so much!

Install CS4 Production Premium on MacBook Pro and Windows workstation

Is it possible to purchase CS4 Production Premium PC version and install the Mac version on my MacBook Pro using the same license? I believe installation on a desktop and laptop is allowed in the EULA.

no, dont think so
mac and pc-versions are regarded as different
products. I'm in the same situation.
like to have cs4 on macbook and pc.

After installing CS4 Master Suite on new Windows 7 X64 laptop, Premier Pro new projects window will not accept input.

I'm migrating my CS4 Master Suite to a new computer. The new system is a Dell M3800 running Windows 7 x64. Install goes fine except for a failure on Flash install. Once install is complete Premier Pro won't accept any input on the New Projects window. You can click on the file name field and change it but that's about it. No buttons will function. If you change the name and leave the field you can not change it again. No further input is accepted and the actual change you made isn't applied. You can exit out of the window with the X. You can also go to an existing project no problem. All other applications seem to be working fine.
Tried uninstall and cleanup and reinstall. Problem does not change. Made sure anti-virus and firewall were disabled before install. No other applications are running during install.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Currently have PSE 6 - Will be installing CS4 Production Premium

As the title indicates, I currently have PSE 6 / Premier Elements 4 and I will be receiving CS4 Production Premium. I have been searching for information on how to convert my PSE 6 catalog to Photoshop 4. Does anyone know of a resource I might be missing that I can research?
Thanks!

I presume you mean Photoshop/Bridge CS4.
There is no simple way since the databases are dissimilar. However I recall some discussion in the past on this.
If nobody here pipes up, check in the Elements forum.

Problem Installing CS2 product over CS3 Web Edition

Hi, I recently bought the CS3 Web Edition and installed it, then uninstalled CS2 Standard edition to make room on my computer... now I realize I don't have InDesign loaded and am trying to reinstall that. However, the Adobe setup isn't cooperating at all. I get stuck on providing the Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later cd. I install PhotoShop 6.0 into my CD drive and it won't accept it. I try pointing it to the CS3 version of Photoshop and it won't accept that either. I only want to install inDesign to the computer. Is there a way around this?

This issue was resolved by calling customer support... they were able to manually over-ride the problem and provided a key code to proceed with the installation. Also, it is possible to just install inDesign, without having to re-install all the components I no longer need.
