Need new computer, what requirements for ACS 4 Design Premium for Windows

My old computer is dying. What do I need to know before getting a new one to be sure  my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium for Windows can still work.
My computer now says 64x2 dual core processor, does that mean I could get a 32 or a 64 bit?
I'm on Windows XP, will it still work in Windows 7 (if I can find that) or Windows 8?
Anything else I need to look out for?
I want to save my old hard drive so I can put my old documents, pictures, etc., on the new computer's hard drive. I never registered this program but I do have the serial number on the pack of CDs. Will there be any problem reinstalling them on the new computer?
Thanks

yes it will work with win 7 and with win 8 though there seem to be more problems (of all sorts) with win 8.  you can get 32 or 64 bit to use cs4 (and all older software).
you may need to use compatibility mode to install cs4.

  • Link for CS3 Design Premium for Mac appears broken.

    I get "HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp  RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp" when I click on it.

    The link is not likely the problem.  Make sure you have cookies enabled and clear your cache.  If it continues to fail try using a different browser.

    I have used PCs for years, and still do at work.  But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself).  It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI.  I have no experience with Win8.  Here are my thoughts:
    1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
    2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC.  But not as much less as some would have you believe.  You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display.  And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
    3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
    That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac.  For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation.  I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap.  I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way).  You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere.  And, it probably isn't cheap.
    I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
    I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice.  But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
    So, there you go.

  • I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.

    I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.  I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers.  I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect.  I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own.  One is operational and one is dead.  I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

  • What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.  Thanks

    As per adobe agent chat representative, the following question is posted on the fórum to obtain an answe from adobe.
    What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
    Thanks
    <moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

    Illustrator is not working as it should...
    I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application. 
    Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
    Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
    That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
    Thanks...
    PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

    When connecting ipad to itunes, in the Summary tab (in itunes for your device), look in the Backups section and choose to back up to itunes.

    Good. At least you will not be smaking with a OPPer dOOPer hammer if I make some gramatical mistake.
    You may want to look at this thread in the BreakPoint where i trie to help Cory get a handle on Dynamic Dispatching with an example of two classes that inherit from a common parent and invoke Over-ride VIs to do the same thing but with wildly varying results.
    The example uses a Class of "Numeric"  and a sibling class "Text" and the both implement an Add method.
    It is dirt simple and Cory did a decent job of explaining it.
    It just be the motivation you are looking for.
    have fun!

    It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

  • Adobe Create Suite 4 Design Premium for Windows Lost Application disk #2

    Hi, I have the Adobe Create Suite 4 Design Premium for Windows and have lost the Application disk #2 and cannot reinstall this on my new laptop.  I have the licenses and the rest of the disks.  I have called Adobe and they no longer support CS4.  They suggested I try to find someone who has the software and get a copy of disk 2

    I'm not seeing anything but individual applications (and it looks like updates, not installers) in the public forders.
    You should be able to get the trial by going to Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools and following the directions VERY CAREFULLY. There is no differnce between trial and licensed installers, so you can enter your serial number when asked.
    If that doesn't work, send me a Private Message (click my name to go to my profile and see the actions list on the right) and I'll see what else I might be able to do for you.

  • I have bought adobe creative suite 3 design premium for 6 year ago. Is it possible to update it. I am working on mini Mac 10.9.5.

    I have bought adobe creative suite 3 design premium for 6 year ago. Is it possible to update it? I am working on mini Mac 10.9.5.

    Thanks for answer and question
    My adobe suite 3 is on CD. I didn’t installed it in my computer that time.  I wait too long to bay a new computer.  And now 6 year after it doesn’t fit to the Mac OSX 10.9.5 I bought in 2013. My problem is that the CD with programs cost much money in 2007. I read on Adobe webpage that there is a special offer for CS user (40% discount). How can i get it?
    Mybe the best for me is to sell my suite 3 CD. The development goes too fast for me. It is too expensive to bay pr month full version creative cloud. My be the only solution is photoshop with lightroom.
