Installing Photoshop CS, then CS2 upgrade on Windows 7

I have a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed and activated.  What is the correct proceedure to install Photoshop CS (full version), then the CS2 upgrade?  I would like to then upgrade to CS4 to take advantage of the Windows 64-bit capabilities.  Is this the right pathway, or do I need to purchase a new full version of CS4?
Thank you for your help.

I think it is possible to upgrade from CS2 to CS4, yes. However there is no need to install CS or even CS2 before CS4 i don't think. You can just install them as long as you can proove you have the old one through the old serial number or somthing to that effect. Also, be awear that CS and CS2 are not supported by Adobe on Windows 7 as they have not been tested and may have problems running correctly. CS3 and CS4 are supported though. I personally wouldn't worry much about having issues with CS and CS2 though as as far as i know, no one seems to have many problems, and i also know that Photoshop 7 works just fine on Windows 7 too.

    Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept the serial number. Unable to deactivate Photoshop before upgrading computer due to hardware failure. Note that Adobe Photoshop CS4 New Install Bundle package consists of the new Photoshop CS4 Upgrade bundled together with the qualifying product, in this case an Adobe Photoshop CS2 License. I have tried both the CS2 and CS4 Serial numbers and both have not worked.

  • Cannot install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my macbook. I also installed Boot Camp 3.0.1 after Windows 7 installation, however, WiFi did not work. Therefore, I needed to upgrade to the latest Boot Camp 3.2. However, when I tried to install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 74 bit, I got an error message saying that I needed Boot Camp 3.1 installed first. I CANNOT find Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit on Apple website at all. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way to get the complete Boot Camp 3.2 package that can simply be installed on version 3.0.1??

  • Trouble installing cs2 upgrade in Windows 7 64 bit

    I have recently bought a new computer and I am transferring programs.  I have deactivated cs2 on my old computer.  I am trying to install it on my new computer with OS windows 7 64 bit.  The CS2 is an upgrade from adobe Photoshop 5.02.  When I try to install the cs2 upgrade it asks for validation of ownership of Photoshop 5.02.  It does not recognize the cd when I put it in the cd player.  I have not been able to install Photoshop 5.02 onto my new computer using the cd (even when I use the compatibility trouble shooter and change settings to xp service pack 2. I have transfered the 5.02 over to my new computer via USB and can even run it.  However, CS2 upgrade will not recognize 5.02 even when I browse to the program folder.  Any other thoughts or suggestions would be very appreciated.

    Find the registry keys for the program on your old machine, export them to a file, import them on the new system. regedit is your friend. Should be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe somewhere...

  • Upgrading to Leopard; Installing Photoshop 5.5 and Upgrading to CS2

    Hello,
    I currently have Panther running on my MAC and I want to upgrade it to Leopard. I originally had Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and had upgraded to Photoshop CS, then to Photoshop CS2 on my MAC running Panther. If I upgrade my MAC to Leopard, do I go through the same process? ...install Photoshop 5.5 then install my Photoshop CS2 Upgrade?
    I know that I will need to deactivate/transfer activation before uninstalling Photoshop CS2 and activate after the Leopard Upgrade.
    Any assistance/tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Why am I getting an invalid serial number response when trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new Windows 8.1 PC. It worked perfectly well on old now defunct Windows Vista PC

    i'm not able to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new PC. I'm told the serial number is invalid. Why? It has 24 digits separated into 4 digits at a time by hyphens. Am I typing it wrongly?

    i just had same issue.  never installed on old pc which is a window 7 convert from xp.  Now installing on laptop dell win 8, would not accept number. so i decided to install on the win 7 old pc (which has no firewall security because I'm dumping machine)  and it worked.  So I turned off firewall on win 8 machine and it worked.  I had read that  you should turn off the fire wall.  Try that.  Di

  • Having trouble installing photoshop elements and premier on my windows 7 laptop?

    I can not install photoshop elememts or premier 11 on my windows 7 laptop?

    Doesn't matter if you got it on disk or downloaded.
    You've purchased a serial number and, in your case, got a disc and box as added extras.
    You can always download the trial version from the Adobe website with any browser and activate that with your serial number.

    Did you first go to the Control Panel and make sure that the HP Support Assistant software was not listed (uninstalled)?

  • Installing Photoshop CS with a upgrade disk

    I would like to install an upgrade version of Photoshop CS(3,4,5, etc) on a Mac Pro. I have an older version of Photoshop on a Power PC type Mac. Can I install the newer version of Photoshop CS if I have the old install disk? Or will only a full installation disk work?
    Thanks

    Yes, that's correct.  CS2 and earlier are PPC.  Here are the system requirements for all versions of Photoshop back to Photoshop 1, if you click on "older versions" at the bottom of the first page.

    Although the specs don't mention it CS3 was the first version to run on Intel based Macs.
