NEED ADOBE SUITE 4 EDITION ADVISE BEFORE I BUY

Hi,
I am about to purchase the ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE 4 WEB PREMIUM, but have a few questions before I do so to users of Adobe Suite editions.
Are all the different CS4 software in the above package bundled on one disk, or do they each have there own disk?
If they are all one disk can I update individual components within the above software, when they become available, rather than all the components at once?
Using the included Photoshop as an example:
As Photoshop has many add-ons available on the web, can I download them and integrate them into just the Photoshop program?
If Adobe releases a patch for just Photoshop, can I download it?
Which leads me to the question:
If Adobe releases a new version of Photoshop CS4, like 'CS5', can I update only the Photoshop CS4 in the suit, instead of the whole suit?
Also are there any function issues with Adobe suite in Windows XP?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Den

> Are all the different CS4 software in the above package bundled on one

One DVD containing all apps and the same serial number for every app in the
suite.
> If they are all one disk can I update individual components within the

> at once?
No.
> Using the included Photoshop as an example:

> and integrate them into just the Photoshop program?
What kind of add-ons are to referring to?
I think the answer is yes. If it's a Photoshop add-on, you can use it.
> If Adobe releases a patch for just Photoshop, can I download it?
Yes. Product patches are the same whether for a suite version or a
standalone version.
> Which leads me to the question:
> If Adobe releases a new version of Photoshop CS4, like 'CS5', can I update
> only the Photoshop CS4 in the suit, instead of the whole suit?
No. Once you upgrade to a suite, you must upgrade to the next suite or not
at all.
Current upgrade paths are:
Standalone version to standalone version
Standalone version to Suite
Suite to Suite
Suite to Standalone upgrade is not available.
Also, bear in mind the current "three versions back" rule for upgrades. You
can only upgrade from the last 3 versions.
So, as the rules currently stand, Photoshop CS is eligible for upgrade to
Creative Suite CS4.
But, Photoshop 7 (one version prior to CS) is not eligible for upgrade to
CS4.
> Also are there any function issues with Adobe suite in Windows XP?
No.
Do you have any particular concerns?

  • Do I need Adobe Digital Editions 2 and 3. on my computer?

    Recently I was going through 'Programs and Features' and realized I had Adobe Digital Editions 2 and 3 installed. Are both needed. I am running Vista on Windows 7 (64 bit).
    I have medical memory problems and am finding Chrome to be challenging.
    I also wonder if this could be related to the problem I am having with not being able to open Adobe Reader. I have the JavaScript all figured out and am trying everything I can think of to open Adobe Reader. I am open to any suggestions.
    Because of my problems all replys need to be in English (not in computer jargon) and in a 1, 2, 3 sequence. Sorry to be troublesome but thats me.
    Thanks to all who want to give it a try.

    I had the same issue.  I uninstalled version 2 and my program ran fine.  Well, it still has the same problem I had with version 2, which is why I'm in the forums right now, but you don't need both versions.  I don't know if having both will cause issues or not (some extensions and apps have this issue) from what I saw, downloading version 3 did not update version 2.  You just got another ADE program that was a bit newer.
    However, I'm not an expert.  This is just what I experienced by uninstalling it.  I highly doubt you'd have a problem.  And if you do have some weird issue from it?  Uninstall all ADE programs from your computer, and then reinstall the most current version available.  Should fix you right up.  Good luck!

  • Facts about Adobe's subscription, read before you buy.

    Facts:
    Adobe auto renew your yearly subscirption even if you don't say a word.
    Once they resubscribed you, you will have to pay for the whole year's fee.
    There is no button in your user account page to stop the auto renewal.
    There is no button in your user account page to cancel the subscription.
    You need to contact customer support personally to do it the above two action.
    If you choose to stop the auto renewal, you are only allowed to do so within 30 days AFTER your existing subscription expire and they resubscribed you.
    Adobe does not give you any reminder before your subscription expire.
    Adobe does not give you any notice after they resubscribed your product.
    The above basically means that you will need a strong reminder to tell you to disable your adobe service at the right date or else they will lock you into an additional year of payment. And if you do remember to cancel it on the right time (30 days after they renewed your product), you still have to deal with customer support that is very likely outsourced to non english native speaking country, a very frustrating process.
    As a user that has been using Adobe product for 8 years. I simply do not understand why stopping renewal is not an option in the user account if Adobe is willing to do business in good faith. Adobe's product is still good to use and I understand it might be hard to survive in the current software industry without using the subscription model, but using this cheap tactics to get a user to resubscribe is way too cheap, especially by a company with such well established reputation in the creative industry.

    I bought adobe suite 4 student edition a few years ago and I am no longer a student and my laptop in which I have adobe suite has recently got a virus and I must uninstall the adobe suite in or to wipe the computer. If I uninstall the student edition and reinstall once the virus is removed from the computer will I have to go through the student product verification process or can I simply use the product key to reinstall the adobe suite?

  • I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I need to download Adobe Digital Editions. Is there any way to download an earlier version so I don't have to upgrade my system?

    I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I need to download Adobe Digital Editions. Is there any way to download an earlier version so I don't have to upgrade my system?

    OT,
    I have the exact same question as heathy32 (I just want to get a photobook ordered, but I'm currently running iPhoto 7.1.5 with OS X 10.6.8 and discovered right at the end of the process of making this photobook that it's no longer supported with the versions I have) but I just wanted to check something with you before I proceed with the iLife 11 disk...
    Namely: do I need download the iPhoto Library Upgrader first?
    There seem to be issues discussed in other forums about the Upgrader, I want to make sure I don't do something like downloading it if that isn't strictly necessary.
    I am perfectly happy just to install iPhoto 9 and upgrade to 9.2.3 using the updater you link to, just so long as I can get a photo book printed!
    Once that is safely out of the way, I intend to upgrade to Maverick etc.
    Your thoughts very welcome
    Thank you.

  • I have adobe digital edition 2.0 and I am trying to authorize my erreader, but I am unable to find the 'manage library' before I open ADE.

    I have adobe digital edition v2.0 and I am trying to authorize my erreader, but I am unable to find the 'manage library' before I open ADE.  Where to I find the 'manage library'? and should I upgrade the ADE to version v1.7.2.?

    To make Mail quit you'll need to perform a forced quit or, failing that, a forced shutdown.
    When an application won't quit you can hold the Command and Option keys together and then type the ESC key. This (usually) brings up a dialog with all the running applications. Select the offending program and click the Force Quit button.
    If this doesn't force the application to quit (quite rare) or if you cannot get the Force Quit Dialog to pop up, hold the power button for about 10 seconds to shut down the entire computer. This should be a last resort but sometimes is necessary.

  • Adobe digital editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close?

    When attempting to launch Adobe Digital Editions I get "adobe digital editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    Windows XP
    This product has been working until today
    Tried uninstalling and reinstalling

    I don't know why it has stopped ~ maybe an incompatible Windows update.
    Unless you really need the (few) extra features of  2.0, you'll be much better off on 1.7.2.
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
