MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED

Hello,
I'm interested to find out how to MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED. Its my intention to buy the upgrade not thru
download, but purchasing the dvd's needed eventually used if necessary.
Thank you

No, forget it. Adobe only sells current versions. How would you even be able to buy a used upgrade that is tied to someone else's previous version? Makes no sense at all and is clearly a breach of the EULA - whoever may sell you this "upgrade" would have to include all his previous versions leading up to that point, making it a completely independent full license that has no relation whatsoever to your CS4. And you would still have to run the license transfer drill.

Upgrading [from CS4 DP to CS5.5 DS] vs. Purchasing Full [in Education Store]

I currently have CS4 Design Premium, but would like to purchase CS5.5 Design Standard. I am a college student [pursuing a degree in graphic design]; therefore it is more cost efficient if I purchase the full package from the Education Store, rather than purchasing the upgrade itself. There seems to be a rather large difference in price, and as a college student, I don't have a large supply of money to use at will.
I'm wondering if it would cause any problems to purchase from the Education Store instead of the Upgrade?
I figured I'd just uninstall the programs I have, then install the new versions. The only problem I could foresee would be something with me having purchased a product from the Educational Store before. Does anyone know what the protocol here would be?
I would be very grateful for any help you could give me!
Thanks!

If you're still a student you would be foolish not to take advantage of academic pricing. Go for it.
In fact you can save a few extra bucks buying it at Amazon: http://amzn.to/odENtC
$279 with free shipping.
BTW, I believe the only limit (besides having to be a student) is that you can only buy one copy of a program per year. This is new a version so I can't see any problem with that.
Hope that helps,
Bob

Upgrading from CS4 design to CS5 web

I have the CS4 design premium suite. Does anyone know if I can purchase the CS5 web premium upgrade as is, or do I have to purchase full versions of the missing components of the web suite before I purchase the web premium upgrade? If someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated.

You can, but why do you want to? What will you find in the Web suite that's missing from Design. Answer: Flash Builder and Contribute.
IMO, Design Premium is the best bang for the buck out there and covers just about anything most designers would need. I have an article on my website you might find worthwhile: http://www.theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml
Also, be careful when buying. You need to get the CS4 to CS5 upgrade. You can get it on Amazon for about $580: http://amzn.to/ahaavR
Design Premium is $578: http://amzn.to/alNI7q
Hope that helps,

Am I still eligible for an upgrade from CS4 to CS5 from a PC to a Mac?

I am getting a new computer (PC to a Mac) and have CS4 Student Edition and want to upgrade to CS5 on my new Mac. Is that possible?

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium Upgrade from CS4 [Mac][OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)

Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

Hi There,
I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
I had to call the US because:
The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
What a joke.
I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
Cheers

Can I upgrade from Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard (on an older PC) to 6 or newer on a new HP Pavilion23?

Can I upgrade from Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard (on an older PC) to 6 or newer on a new HP Pavilion 23?

You may be able to do some work arounds with AA6 on 32-bit systems. You are probably out of luck with AA6 on 64-bit systems. (I got AA5 working with some workarounds on Win7, 32-bit) As for the upgrade, you can check at the Adobe store for the upgrade compatibilities. I think it is now at AA9, maybe AA8 for an upgrade. So, you are kind of stuck with buying a new version (no upgrade).

Upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac is possible?

Quite a simple question:
Is it possible to make upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac?
If "yes", which are the steps I'll have to follow?
I would like to mention that I'll buy the upgrade software
in Romania, so I'll have to deal with a Romanian Adobe
software distributor.
Thank you!

All right. Thank you!

Upgrade from CS4 Extended Education to CS6

Two questions here. I purchased the educational version of CS4 Extended back when I was in school. No longer in school, I wish to upgrade to CS6 non-educational. First question: Can I upgrade using my educational licence to a non-educational one? Second question: Can I upgrade from CS4 Extended to CS6 Standard? I have no need of the extras with Extended.
Thanks.

Yes and yes. refer to the buying guide on the product pages.

Cannot direct upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended

Despite the information in various spots on Adobe's website, it appears that it's not possible to simply upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended. After entering the CS5 serial number, the installer asks for the serial number of a "qualifying product". This includes a dropdown list that only has
Photoshop CS5
Photoshop CS4 Extended
Photoshop CS3 Extended
Here's the view:
Entering the CS2 serial number == fail.
A call to Adobe support get past this issue, basically reading out a challenge/response from the installer to the guy on the phone. But this seems remarkably stupid to me. Was it really more effective to force me (and anyone else following this upgrade path) to call tech support just to install the software I just past $350 for? And if this was the plan, why not SAY SO ON THE ADOBE WEBSITE?!?
Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, was calling tech support the only way out?

You are correct in wishing Adobe made it clear that you do need to go through Customer Service to accomplish this.
Most users make the purchase through Adobe and straighten this out before installing.

Upgrading from photoshop CS to CS5

Is this possible?, Or do I have to pay the full upgrade cost? or possibly upgrade to CS4 first the CS5 this would save about £280.00 over the full upgrade.
Best regards

From what I've read, if you upgrade to CS4 from CS, you've used your upgrade option for your license and you WILL have to pay the full price for CS5 as a new licensing will be required.
There is absolutely no truth in that statement. If you upgrade from CS to CS4 now, you will then be able to update from CS4 to CS5, and from CS5 to CS6, from CS6 to CS7 and so on and on. You might even get a free upgrade to CS5 if you buy CS4 now, not 100% sure of that.
The trick is to do so right now, before CS4 ceases to be sold in about a few weeks.
I haven't bought a full version of Photoshop since Photoshop 6, then upgraded to 7, 8 (CS), 9 (CS2), 10 (CS3) and finally 11 (CS4). I'm still eligible to upgrade to CS5, except that I won't be doing so for financial reasons, as it would require a hardware upgrade for me too.

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012? I have not found the option to do so.

My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...). I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource. Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800. Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people. In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza. Not a bad deal. If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months. For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced. I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner. Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications. I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision. If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers. But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time. What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade. NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month. These Germans tend to hold grudges.

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion? Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

I think you are missing my point.
For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

Upgrading from CS4 Design Standard to CS5.5 Design Standard

Hopefully a simple question. I am currently running CS4 Design Standard and wish to upgrade to CS5.5 Design Standard. My version of CS4 itself was an upgrade from the full installation version software of CS2 (I managed to skip the CS3 stage using a previous Adobe upgrade deal). Am I right in thinking that although the CS4 was an upgrade package it is now my 'standard platform' so to speak, and therefore I can use upgrade software again to take me up to CS5.5? I have the serial number for the CS4 software.
Thanks,
Richard

That is correct. Make sure you get the right upgrade…there are several.

Upgrade from CS4 Design Standard to CS4 Design Premium ?

No text

I would call Adobe Customer Support again and ask for a manager!
The price that was quoted was that for upgrading from Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop CS3 Extended to Photoshop CS4 Extended as opposed to an upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Photoshop CS4 Extended which should be approximately $300 (the difference between the price a new license for Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended). Ask for a manager and hopefully they will understand what you are talking about. (Contact me via e-mail off-forum if you still have problems!)

CS5 upgrade from CS4 - plugins question

Hi -
can anyone refer me to a list of steps to move all of my plugins from CS4 to CS5 as part of the upgrade?
My plugins are:
Anthropics portrait pro 10
Image Trends - Fisheye hemi, pearly whites and shine-off
Nik Software - NIk sharpener, color efex, silver efex
onONE - mask pro 4
picture code - noise ninja
Power Retouche
Photo Frame 4
PhotoTools Pro 2.6
I don't really want to run both versions of photoshop... I've done that in the past and never once went back to the old once I upgraded... but open to advice there, too.
thanks,
tom

You used to be able to transfer them to the new version without reinstalling... is that not possible any longer????…
Read my previous post again:
You can only use those plug-ins in CS5 that have been upgraded by their particular software developer to run in 64 bits.
CS4 and earlier versions of Photoshop were 32-bit Carbon applications. CS5 is Cocoa and runs in Snow Leopard in 64 bits. You will need to get the updated 64-bit versions of your plug-ins from each of their developers.
Otherwise you'll need to run CS5 in 32 bits, with a corresponding loss in performance and any other consequences of running in 32 bits.
