Master collection 5.5 vs design premium 5.5...need to uninstall?

I have the Master Collection 5.5 on my macbook pro. I had to do a reinstall after some repairs and my collection reverted to trial. I no longer have the serial number, and never registered it, so I'm stuck buying the software again. I've found a download/serial number of Design Premium 5.5 for a reasonable price and will purchase it (I only use indesign, photoshop, and illustrator anyway). Can I use that serial number on the screen that pops up from my master collection, or do I need to uninstall master collection and install design premium (does design premium come as a package or is it just each application separately?)?
Thanks for the help!

You will have to uninstall and install the premium package. your serial number won't work on an MC. DP is a suite just like MC and uses a single installer to put multiple apps at once on your computer.

  • Good morning , I have installed Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium and I want to uninstall the Adobe Indesign CS5.5. Deactivation of the license is necessary before then reinstall ?

    Are you just uninstalling ID, and leaving the rest of the suite in place? You don't need to deactivate to do that.
    A suite license does not permit you to install individual components on many different machines so that different users have access to them, if that is what you are contemplating.

  • Moving from CS 5.5 Master Collection to CS 6 Design & Web Premium

    Last year I purchased a downloadable version of CS5.5 Master Collection and installed it on 2 Macs. I recently purchased CS6 Design and Web Premium.
    Should I uninstall all CS5.5 products before I install CS6? Can I then go back and install the CS5.5 Master products I need that are not included in CS6 Design Premium? After I activate CS6 on one Mac, can I then download and immediately use on the second Mac?
    Also, as insurance on any mishaps, do I have permission to download CS 5.5 Master Collection indefinitely, since I did purchase it?
    Thanks for your guidance!

    you can but, need not uninstall part or all of cs5.5
    you can install and activate your cs5.5 apps on two computers concurrently.
    you can install and activate your cs6 apps on two computers concurrently.
    and yes, as of today you can dl cs5.5 mc (and cs6 dp, as well) indefinitely.  but, it would be prudent to maintain your own copies of both cs5.5 and cs6 installation files so you are not subject to future changes.

  • I previously downloaded CS6 Master Collection with Illustrator and Photoshop. I now need to add...

    I previously downloaded CS6 Master Collection and selected Illustrator and Photoshop. Now I need to add InDesign. I called a while back and someone helped me download almost everything, I think. I just need help with the next phase. They said something about deleting my existing Master Collection and reinstalling it? HELP! Is there a phone number I can call?

    you shouldn't need to uninstall anything (and do not delete any files).
    just run the master collection installer and tick/select the programs you want to install.

  • Continue using Web & Design Premium CS6 and need new serial number

    I have Web & Design Premium CS6 and i want to continue the use of this program, were can i find or buy a unlimited serialnumber?
    Thanks,
    Bas

    When you buy CS6 and are given a serial number to install and activate, my understanding is that you already have an "unlimited" serial number
    EXCEPT... I read a message recently about a "free" Education install that had a serial number that expired Adobe CS6 valid serial number downgraded to tryout
    Why do you think that your serial number needs to be replaced?

  • I have an upgrade to the Master Collection CS5 from Production Studio premium and after reinstalling the software all the updates fail.

    "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." In the past I had to contact Adobe because CS5 had a problem with the upgrade even though it was legal and had to press a few keys and enter a special code generated at Adobe.
    I am running a Mac with Yosemite
    How can I get my software to update?

    Daniel.e.weber please download and apply the updates directly from Product updates.

  • CS3 Design Premium will not reinstall after uninstall in VISTA

    I booted up my system and had a system update message which I allowed to load (Vista Service pack 1). When I launched CS3, it said it had problems and to uninstall and reinstall it. The cd removed the software, but only loaded Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and Shared components, all the others had the message "Component Install failed". I loaded the Adobe Support Advisor and it came to the following conclusion: Issue no: id18309
    Error UninstallColorProfilesRollback occurs preventing the installer from updating existing color profiles when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 3 product. I tried all the suggested fixes listed in the knowledge base, nothing works. I submitted a trouble support only to be told that it would cost me money for Adobe support. Any suggestions?

    I believe I answered this in the InDesign forum.

  • I installed CS4 Web Premium, do I need to uninstall CS2? (I don't have CS3) If so, how?

    I thought the installer would just upgrade my existing CS2 apps but after I installed CS4, I saw that all the CS2 apps were still there! Do I need to uninstall them manually? If so, how? Is there any danger in doing that? Or should I uninstall CS4 then uninstall CS2, then reinstall CS4???? Thanks much for any advice/help!

    Karen,
    No. This is a full-version upgrade, meaning that it is a complete installation, independent of any past versions installed. Both versions can coexist and can be used.
    But if you double-click on a file to launch the application, the most recent version prevails. If you prefer to have the older version default (for the current work session), launch it first, then double-click on the files to work on them.

  • Upgrade CS6 Design Premium to CS6 Master Collection?

    Why can I upgrade CS5 or CS5.5 Design Premium to CS6 Master Collection, but not CS6 Design Premium? Is there really no upgrade path within the same version?
    One of my new designers needs to do video production work. I'd rather pay $1,049 to upgrade his suite instead of $999 to buy the standalone After Effects application. Any chance there is actually an upgrade path, just not one that appears in the upgrade panel?

    That's option #2 if nobody knows of Another Way.
    Follow-up question: the new designer has a straight purchase of CS6 Design Premium but my existing designers have upgrades from CS5 or CS5.5. Is it possible to purchase a CS5.5 upgrade and have him 'swap' serial numbers with another designer on my team without creating all sorts of conflicts, re-installs, calls to Adobe support, etc.?

  • How do I upgrade from Master Collection 5.5 to Photoshop Photography Program

    I have valid serial numbers (i.e. I purchased the products) for Master Collection 5.5 and Design Premium CS4. I have tried using these for the Photoshop Photography Program but neither of them are accepted. Any ideas?

    Did you register the products?  If you click on the red adobe icon above and go to my stuff/programs are they listed?

  • Installing cs3 master collection and cs5 production premium on windows 7 machine

    I have a windows 7 ultimate machine that I would like to install CS3 Master Collection on. I would then like to upgrade the Production Premium programs to CS5.
    I have the install discs for both. Any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Tahseen,
    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Both CS3 Master Collection and CS5 Production Premium are full installs, neither is an upgrade. I have serial numbers for both.
    Machine previously had CS4 Production Premium installed on it, that has been uninstalled.
    Should I install CS3 Master Collection then install CS5 Production Premium? If so, do I need to remove the CS3 versions of programs included in Production Premium before installing CS5 Production Premium?
    Thanks again!

  • Using 'Design Standard' serial number with 'Master Collection' download.

    Hey, i was trying to download design standard, but couldnt find it with the download assistant.
    The only thing i could see that was a 'collection' was the master collection.
    So i asked someone on Adobe live chat wether i could just download master collection then input my design standard serial, and they seemed to think it would work.
    When i enter the serial i get the following message:
    "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Master Collection. Please contact customer support."
    not really sure what to do, will i need to downlaod design standard instead?

    i think customer support missed that one.
    adobe serial numbers are product specific.  you can't activate a trial of one product to a full version of another product.
    you need design standard cs6.  here it is:  http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=design_standard

  • CS5 Master Collection and Service pack 3 question

    Just received the CS5 master collection upgrade from CS4 Web Premium.  The minimum requirements state XP sp3.  Our systems here at work are still on sp2.  Will the software install?  If so, what issues might I face?

    Hi! I've installed Photoshop CS5 Extended trial on a Windows XP SP2 workstation, I got a warning during installation saying that my system didn't fulfill minimum requirements, but no problem after.
    As I've only tried with Photoshop, I suggest you to also check with trial versions of Illustrator and Flash.
