Moving CS2 and installing CS5 upgrade

I have CS2 on an older Mac laptop. I just purchased a newer imac model. The new imac with Lion 10.7 does not support CS2 and it will not load. Can I purchase the CS5 upgrade and somehow get it to work on my new imac? I have the CS2 discs and all needed numbers. Thanks, Terry

You most certainly can for additional details I would recommend looking at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgradeinfo.html.

I upgraded Photoshop CS2 back in 2006. How can I buy and install the upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop?

I currently have Photoshop CS2 and purchased and installed an upgrade for it back in 2006. It has not been upgraded since and now today when I tried to access it I get a message saying I have to reactivate it but it won't allow me to do that. How can I upgrade my version of Photoshop?

CS2 is totally outside the upgrade loop. It doesn't qualify for anything.
However, you can still install CS2. You just have to download a special CS2 version, expressly meant for CS2 owners, which requires no activation and also the new key number for that special edition; your old serial number will not work, the new one only works for the new, modified CS2 version.
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Adobe decommissioned the old CS2 activation servers, then generated this workaround for CS2 licensees.

Installing cs5 upgrade on new pc

i cannot install the upgrade cs5 on my new pc and adobe site dose not have my serial number for cs2 on the my product pages. my old pc with these on is busted so i cannot get it there
any ideas ... i need to solve this asap thanks all

In my opinion you have to contact Adobe support with the proof of purchase of your cs2 , if you have bought nad lost the serial number they can help you.,
once this will be clarified I believe you can go ahead and install cs5 upgarde.

Do I need to install CS4 full version before installing CS5 upgrade?

New hard drive in iMac. I have a full version of CS4 design premium and an upgrade version of CS5. Do I have to install both? Or can I just install CS5 upgrade and somehow use my CS4 full serial number to validate the CS5?

You have the right idea. You do not have to install CS4. At some point during installation of CS5 you will be required to enter the serial number for CS4 in order to confirm it as a valid upgrade installation

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download. 8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page. I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10. Please can you tell me my options? Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application. What should I do? How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750. Many thanks, Adam.

Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

Install CS5 UPGRADE from cs2 on Windows 8

I just purchased a Windows computer running Windows 8, and I want to install on it CS 5. But the CS 5 I have is an upgrade, so it won't install unless I have CS2 (my previous version) already on the computer, and CS2 won't install on Windows 8. What do I do?

unless I have CS2 (my previous version) already on the computer,
You don't need to have CS2 installed.
If the CS5 upgrade installer cannot find an earlier qualifying version installed then it will prompt you to enter the CS2 serial number instead.

Help installing CS5 upgrade on a new PC please

I have a new PC running Windows 7 x64 Pro and want to transfer CS5 from my old machine. This was installed using CS5 upgrade, my previous version being CS2 upgrade and before that I was using a full copy of PS6. I still have all the discs and licences. Should I install again starting from PS6, then CS2 upgrade, then CS5 upgrade? Does anyone know if Windows 7 x64 will install the now-ancient PS6? Or is there another way? I want to get it right first time, having suffered a corrupted identity on my old XP machine, which I never managed to fix.
Thanks.

Hi, You don't have to install all the previous versions.
You just have to install CS 5 and then you will be prompted for serial number for the same and then it will ask the serial number for the previous version (CS2)
You should be able to then install successfully.

Following having to erase the hard drive, I am attempting to re-install CS5 upgrade........

Following having to erase the hard drive, I am attempting to re-install CS5 from previously registered CDs as an upgrade to CS2. Although at the time of purchase, CS2 was acceptable, and the serial numbers of the NEW software remain registered on my 'account', the serial number of the original CS2 is now rejected as UN-acceptable, the oldest version now acceptable seeming to be CS3
What do I do????

can you select cs2 as an upgradeable option in the dropdown box after entering your cs5 serial number?
if yes, use this serial number, Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
if not, contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Do I need to install CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit before installing CS5 Upgrade?

I am replacing a graphic designer's Windows Vista laptop with a Dell Precision T5500 desktop. Do I need to uninstall CS3 from the laptop and decommission the serial number? Then do I need to install CS3 on the new desktop before installing the CS5 upgrade? I was told I needed to decommission the installation, but I don't remember having to do that with other installations. Thanks in advance!

You should definetly deactivate any software before uninstalling. But you don't have to install CS3 in order to install CS5. Just have the serial number handy for verification. That said, depending upon the user's needs, you might want to leave CS3 available.

Downloading and installing cs5 on a new computer

bought photoshop cs5 back in 2010 which resided on my laptop but now that i've upgraded computers, i'm trying to download and install it onto my new HP.
using the akamai downloader, it just keeps cycling through the first of the 2 files (so it looks like it redownloads it a bunch of times with no end in sight) and if i use the alternate method (downloading the files individually), once i start the .exe file, i get an error stating:
"a problem occured while extracting some files. check available space on your computer and the write privelages on the destination folder"
i'm an admin on my computer and there is plenty of free space....what gives?! i was told (in a live chat with adobe support) to make a new user account, make it admin, and install it on there. so i did but with no success.
anyone else have this sort of trouble and has a solution? i gotta get work done and thus far, i've been sitting on my arse toying around with this frustration

And what does "plenty of feree space" mean? You could simply be running out of temporary disk space. That aside, there are known issues with large partitions, so if yours exceeds 1 TB, you may consider downsizing it...

Installing CS5 Upgrade version in a "clean"machine"

* Maybe Adobe guys could chip in on this one please (as well as the early adopters in the same situation). *
REASON: I just ordered the base hardware of a new system I7 - 64 bit OS etc.....
I do not intend to load CS4 into it at all because I want a really clean machine from the get go with CS5 and I do not want to uninstall CS4 from my current system at all. It needs to keep working while I break in CS5 and the new system.
QUESTION: I wonder what process will be involved when installing an Upgrade Version of CS5 in a brand new machine that wont have CS4 installed at all. Usually the S/W goes looking for an installed qualifying version. Because of the move to brand new systems and hardware in this release...I expect many users apart from me, will need to know this.
This question is a little premature but I am getting prepared and it will be worth knowing at some point..
We wont see CS5 down here in New Zealand for a little time after the U.S guys get it I suspect on past history. This is not a bad thing actually.

Often (sadly, not always) an upgrade will allow you to install by (1) putting a previous disc in the drive or (2) entering the previous install key
If nobody answers before you receive your install discs, those are the 2 things you could try
