Need to buy CS5 Design Standard and laptop-Help Please

My wife is going to school and needs to buy CS5 Design Standard for a graphics class she is taking. Her old computer just broke and we need to buy a new one today or NLT tomorrow but we can't spend too much. Can a bargain laptop run this software suite ok (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat) or do we need to spend a lot on a laptop with big performance? A couple of computers in the $500 range we are looking at have Intel 2.13 ghz duo core, Core i3 processor , 4GB RAM with Intel Graphics Medial Accelerator with 128mb of Video RAM. Would that be enough?
THanks for your guidance.

That would work just fine. I run it with less than that on a laptop at home now and then.
As an aside, this is the Acrobat forum. You may want to repost in one of the Suite forums to get a better answer.

Need to buy CS5 Design Standard, New Laptop-Help Please

My wife is a student taking a graphics class a and she must buy CS5 Design Standard (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat). Her computer just broke down and we need to replace it right away but we are on a tight budget. Can we get by with a budget type laptop with modest graphic support (maybe 500-600 dollars) or do we need a high powered, big dollar laptop to run the CS5 Software?
Thanks for your replys.

It would be easier if you pointed us to the laptop you had in mind but I can't see how a $500 laptop is going to be satisfactory. I would think more in the $600 area you might be able to squeeze buy. Check out the Dell Vostro line.
You can also save a few bucks buying the Student and Teacher edition at Amazon. No tax in most states and free shipping: http://amzn.to/dms74a
Please make sure she's eligible for that before she buys it. Adobe requires proof before sending the serial number. Details are here: http://amzn.to/9LXvIX
If not, she'll have to buy the appropriate full or upgrade version. That can be a bit hard to figure out but I created an online store with Amazon and sorted through it all. You can check it out here: http://www.theindesignguy.com/book-and-software-store.shtml
Hope that helps,

Downloaded a copy of CS5 Design Standard and it will not accept my serial number. I'm on a mac, and yes I'm positive of my serial number. How can I get help?

Adobe is not recognizing my serial number for my purchased CS5 Design Standard. What can I do? Jim

Jim have you verified the serial number is the same as the one registered under your account at http://www.adobe.com/?
If so then is there a specific reason you are needing to reinstall? Is this a new installation on a new computer?

Reinstall CS5 Design Standard: I purchased a box set and not need to reinstall, but I am missing a disc. Please provide the link to dowload the suite. I have all of the original serial numbers. Thanks.

I need to reinstall CS5 Design Standard on a new computer. I have uninstalled it on old computer, but now realize I am missing a disk. I have tried multiple avenues to track down the link for reinstalling this software, but have had no luck. Please provide a link where I can download software that I have already purchased on a disc. I have all of my serial numbers, and I can see the purchases in my account. But I can't find the download link. the one I was provided was not correct. Thanks for the help.

Jerryllmoreno the retail installation files are located at Download CS5 products.

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still, I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.

I need a link to download CS5 Design Standard

I need a link to download CS5 Design Standard.

I followed the 7 steps, downloaded all components with the exception of Illustrator. That will not install no matter what I do using this method.

You'd have to ask Intuit. They might give you a cross-license to download and install the Mac version.

I already own Student Edition CS6 Photoshop Extended and Want to Buy the Design Standard Student

I already own the Student/Teacher Edition CS6 Photoshop Extended and want to buy the Design Standard Student/Teacher edition in order to add In-Design and Illustrator to my Mac. My concern is that, since Photoshop is included in the Design Standard collection, will my pre-existng copy of Photoshop keep me from getting a serial number/license on the other two products since I know you can only puchase one product per student? I was just hoping someone could clarify this for me before I spent money on something that I may not can use. I really want In-Design and Illustrator and this is my cheapest route as a student.

Hi findezel1,
There will not be any issues, while you are installing the Adobe CS6 Design Standard, you would not have an option to install Adobe Photoshop CS6 as its already installed.
Alternatively, You may de activate and uninstall the Adobe Photoshop CS6(curently installed) and keep it as a back up and use the Photoshop which is a part of Adobe CS6 Design Standard.

Upgrade CS4 to CS5 design standard - want Photoshop Extended

try as i might i cant find a way of calling a sales agent on the adobe website. i am trying to understand the following:
1. what is best way of getting photoshop cs5 EXTENDED without the nonsense of being upsold by adobe ...ie i have CS4 design standard and want photoshop cs5 extended. - do i need to upgrade photoshop individually and at a much more expensive price ( and then in due course each component individually at higher prices?) or is there a way to get photoshop extended in the CS5 design standard suite'
2.. Does lightroom3 actually SYNC to flickr ( or facebook, or picassa) or just transfer?
3. is there actually a sales number to call for help

No. You do not have a Photoshop license...you have a Creative Suite license.
Unfortunately, Adobe does a pretty poor job as far as this type of information is concerned but as I said earlier, the only way you can get to PS Extended is by upgrading to Design Premium.
I personally believe DP is the best bang for the buck in the whole CS family. I've got an article on my website, http://theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml, which you may find informative.

I can't find any other logs or errors on the PC. It does say to reboot the PC and try again. Which I have done but no luck
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Jason.

The complete log files can be found at the following location (say if C: is your primary drive) -
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
Most probably VC runtimes are failing to install on your machine (as per the following log messages) -
ERROR: - Microsoft_VC90_ATL_x86: Install failed
ERROR: - Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86: Install failed
Try installing them individually. To install them you need to double click the respective msi files which can be found in the installer 'payloads' folder like -
payloads\Microsoft_VC90_ATL_x86\Microsoft_VC90_ATL_x86.msi
Once you have successfully installed the msi files run the installer again.

Is there a way to get Creative Suite CS5 Design Standard (Win XP version) to run on a new Apple OSX Maverick?

I understand Adobe's license is for the Win or the Mac environment, but not both. I installed VMWare's Fusion and Windows 7 Pro on the Mac but that did not work. Is there anything I can do besides purchasing a new license?

Thanks Steve,
I find this so discouraging. As a self-published author, I scraped together some money to purchase CS5 Design Standard about 2 years ago. My most recent manuscript has taken longer to develop, and then Microsoft abandoned Win XP for an inferior product (Win 8.1 which is why I went to an Apple). I need Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator at a minimum to independently publish my work.
With Cloud at $49.99/month, I would never regain that expense in my profits over several years. Even CS6 Design Standard at $1300 is out of my price range. Independently published authors rarely make a profit and I am in that category. My discouragement is that this may stop my work - because of a product that I already own! I am recently retired and find that one of the two things I was going to do in retirement may go away.
Discouraged,
Tom Clarke

CS5 Design Standard - Numerous errors when launching products

Hello-
We have installed Adobe CS5 Design Standard on a Windows 7 Professional x64 system. It had Adobe CS3 installed but that never worked correctly and was uninstalled and the CS Cleanup Tool run. The new installation finishes without error but the products do not run correctly. This has been uninstalled and the CS Cleanup Tool run several times. The errors are as follows:
Adobe Media Encoder - "Adobe Media Encoder could not find Adobe Dynamic Link components. Some features may not work." The program does eventually open up.
For this we tried replacing the dvacore.dll as shown here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/859/cpsid_85926.html but of course that deals with CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS 5 (64-bit) - "Adobe Application Manager is needed to start your trial." The product will not open up.These have been tried http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84344.html with no success.
Adobe Illustrator CS5 - "Missing required plugins. BRS Pencil Tool, ExpandS" after pressing OK a runtime error occurs pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Ill...". Again pressing OK causes a Windows error to come up stating the obvious "Adobe Illustrator CS5 has stopped working"This is what we have tried http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331889.html , again this is not about CS5
All uninstalls have been with the "Deactivate" and "Remove Preferences" boxes checked.
Not finding anything else helpful.
Any ideas?

It does seem rather like that. However, the box copy of CS5DS Upg that I am holding also states that "you must have one of the following: Adobe Creative Suite 5 - Design Standard" on the packaging.
If I am trying to upgrade CS5DS with CS5DS, it is partly because Adobe is suggesting that it makes sense to upgrade to an identical product. Hence my confusion when the install failed.

Download CS5 Design Standard?

I have a license for CS5, but no disks. I purchased the license and downloaded the software about18 months ago. I do not want to upgrade, but I'd like to install CS5 on a new laptop. Is there any way for me to download CS5 Design Standard for a mac? Thank you.

Did you purchase a download from Adobe directly? If so the following steps will allow you to download your software again:
Go to the Adobe Store for your country and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
Click My Orders and then My Order History.
Locate the order number, and click the Download link in the Downloads column.
Start the download by doing one of the following:
Click Download and follow the onscreen instructions.
Click Akamai Download Manager and follow the onscreen instructions.
Click Alternate Download Method, and then click the .7z and .exe files (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) to download the software to your computer.
