Issue using newly purchased copy of Photoshop CS5 - licensing from beta version

Hello,
I was part of the Beta Testing group (through adobe) with Photoshop CS5 before it's release. As such, I had Photoshop CS5 prior to its release. When the License expired I don't think I deleted it correctly from my computer. Now, I've purchased my new copy of CS5 (including Photoshop) and it installed (after much problems. It saw that I had copy elements of Photoshop. It suggested I get the Photoshop cleaner and run it. I did run it and finally was able to install the full CS5, including Photoshop). Now... when I try to RUN/OPEN photoshop CS5 it says my license has expired. It hasn't. I just bought it. So, I used the application in the CS5 folder that had the uninstall application. I ran the uninstall And then RE-INSTALLED it off the dvd. I tried AGAIN to launch Photoshop and it still says its license has expired. What do I do? I've spent hours on this and have gotten no work done in Photoshop today. HELP.

Hi,
I'll send you a private message, so we can try and straighten this out.
regards,
steve

You can't. The perpetual licenses are OS specific.

Transfer Photoshop CS5 license from Windows to Mac OSX

Hello,
I have a Photoshop CS5 license for Windows which I used for the past 4 years, but recently I've switched to Mac OSX and I need to transfer my license. I understand that it is an old version so...
Is it still possible or do I need to upgrade to CS6 first ? I don't wan't the CC version.
Thanks for any help.

Serial numbers for Creative Suites are Windows only or Mac only.
There is a platform swap process but it only applies to CS6
Order product | Platform, language swap
The only way to do what you want is buy the upgrade version of CS6 for Mac.

Not sure if anyone can help but I have a copy of Photoshop CS5.1. Ever since it was installed, every now and again when I try do something simple like save a file or scale something using the Transform tool, in fact anything at all it comes up with "Could not complete your request because of a program error". Have thought about re-installing it but I have lost my serial number. I'm living in Ireland and trying to get to talk to someone in tech support is a complete joke. Any ideas what to do ? Thanks

Ianp69549740 have you tried reinstalling Photoshop CS5.1? If so do you receive any specific errors? What operating system are you using?

I have an issue using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

Hello everyone,
I am having issues using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. I created a duplicate layer that I want to do the effects on, converted it to a smart object and on that same layer went to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects to get to the Lighting Effects screen. When adjusting the parameters (drag/reshape the lights) for either the spotlight or point light, I don't see any changes. Can someone tell me what could be the issue or if I'm doing the steps wrong to apply the effects?
Here are my specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600S CPU @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8174MB RAM
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6570
Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
Display Memory: 743 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1008 MB
Shared Memory: 3831 MB

I am experiencing flickering issues as well. However my issues are with the Fast Color Corrector and the Three Way Color Corrector. It seems as if the color correction tools are causing intermittent flickering on some people's systems.
Additionally when I converted some old PPCC 7.2.2 projects which had the Three Way Color Corrector applied, some clips in sequences would come up as a green screen in the program monitor. If I turned the TWCC off the footage would display correctly in the program window. If I turn the TWCC back on it would display the green screen again.
I haven't found a solution to the flickering but to solve the green screen issue I have to remove the effect, then re apply it. I guess for whatever reason, the 2014 version of PP has issues with 7.2.2 projects where the TWCC was applied.
I'm hoping Adobe will address this soon with an update for the various bugs that have been reported.
PPCC 2014 8.0.1

THis is a User to User forum. For direct answers from Adobe, call Adobe Customer service.
However, the US EULA allows for 2 installs of the software. I do not know if the Australian EULA is differnt.

Can we use flex extension designed for Photoshop CS5 for Photoshop Touch as well?

Hi..!!
I was learning about the Photoshop Touch application and when I started to search about its SDK, I found that it uses the same SDK as Photoshop CS5. Is my information correct? Also, if this is the case, then if I want to design a flex extension for Photoshop Touch, then will the extension for Photoshop CS5 suffice? Or, will I have to design a separate one from CS5? Please guide me..
Thanks!

The Photoshop CS5 SDK includes functionality for creating interactions with Photoshop CS 5 from applications on Android™, Blackberry, and iOS mobile and tablet devices, as well as Mac OS and Windows® operating systems (an example would be the Adobe Nav app) basically the communication between an app and Photoshop. Flex extensions created for Photoshop would not automatically work with Photoshop Touch.
Hope that helps

My Mac completely seizes when using the Gradient Tool in Photoshop CS5

I've recently upgraded to CS5 and in tandem have replaced my 8Gb of RAM with 16Gb on an iMac 27" with a 2.8Ghz Intel Core i7.
The problem that I've encountered with Photoshop seems to be connected with the COMBINED effect of these two upgrades. I just need to determine where the problem lies.
Whilst attempting to apply a gradient (white to transparent) using Photoshop CS5 on a CMYK file my Mac completely seizes. And I mean completely! No 'force quit' option, nothing. Even the little light on my mouse goes out. However, suspecting that it may be a CS5 problem I tried the same procedure using CS4. Hey presto – no problem. Narrowing the area down still further I re-installed the original 8Gb chips and the problem went away. Back to the 16Gb and the problem reoccurs. I've also found that using the 'Auto Merge' facility also causes the same seizure.
So, is it a RAM problem or a CS5 problem or a combination of the two? I've run Memtest the result of which indicated that the new RAM was behaving itself. The new memory is Kingston's finest and has had no adverse effects anywhere else on the system. If anyone can come up with a definitive answer I'd be grateful, especially if it means I can get my memory supplier to exchange my purchase gratis.

If the whole machine freezes, then you are most likely looking at a hardware problem.
Narrowing the area down still further I re-installed the original 8Gb chips and the problem went away.
Yep, that's more evidence that the problem is in your hardware.
Application software cannot cause a lockup like that. Only hardware, low level drivers and the OS can cause a lockup like that.
In your case, it seems to be the hardware (RAM chips or motherboard).
Unfortunately, software RAM tests are useless. But you've got a test that stresses the RAM system more than those tests: it's called Photoshop.
We have seen several reports recently of RAM problems in newer iMacs. There appears to be a problem with the RAM specification, testing, or the motherboards. Unfortunately, we don't yet have enough details to determine the root cause of the issues. But most people have fixed the problem by swapping out the RAM.

Can I use a real copy of Photoshop for as long as I am paying for the Creative Cloud?

Hello, I am on Windows 8 and need a working copy of Photoshop but an outright purchase was just too expensive for me. So I subscribed to the cloud in hopes that I could just pay monthly for the software. But when I download Photoshop CC I see that it is still asking me for a serial number. So my question is, is the cloud monthly fee enabling me to use the software ongoing? Or do I still need to purchase something else at some point?

Ask for serial number http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1234635 has a FAQ link
Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work
Log out of your paid Cloud account... Restart your computer... Log in to your paid Cloud account

I understand that corporate IT is slow to adopt new things. It has always been thus.
But if you write memos to your IT management (and your own management) that say that the apps you need to do your work are really not working right any longer with the old system, that would put some heat on getting them to start to upgrade. It might even net you a new computer in the short term.
The IT folks skipped Vista (which sounds justifiable, but it really wasn't). Now they're trying to delay Windows 7 as long as possible. Give them the reasons they can't. Windows 7 may be pretty different, but it really works. They may say they're waiting for Service Pack 1, but I suspect it's fear of change mostly.
Honestly, if any IT department hasn't already begun serious development behind the scenes to work out what's involved with switching to Windows 7, then they are dinosaurs and need to be fired. It's become impossible to buy computers with XP pre-installed. What will they do when they buy one that simply can't be downgraded to their own XP installation? At some point computer companies will determine it's no longer cost effective to support XP (no drivers, etc.).
Microsoft has already ended Mainstream Support for XP and sales of new copies of XP, and has set the Extended Support end date (granted, it's been extended and is not imminent).

The deactivation option on my copy of Photoshop CS5 64 does not work. How can I get this deactivated so I can re-install?

when I try to deactivate Photoshop no deactivation screen comes up. I want to reinstall on my PC after a complete system clean and reinstallation of Windows so I really need to get Photoshop deactivated. I'm at a loss as to how to make contact with any support person at Adobe to get this done. be gratefully received.

I went through this a couple of years ago when I built a new desktop. I needed to move my copy of PS CS5 to the new desktop and couldn't get the Deactivate system to work. I had installed PS CS5 on 2 different computers, older desktop and newer notebook.
After calling Adobe, IIRC (that was when you could actually call them), I was told not to worry about it. Just uninstall from the old computer, and or Don't Ever Use CS5 on the old computer again, and install it to the new one. I didn't have any problems. Activation went through without any problems.
