Old Creative Suite Premium product

I have recently moved to a new home. I am running the same computer with the same software, but suddently Photoshop won't run unless I "activate" my product. When I try to activate over the phone, it tells me my activation code doesn't have the right number of numbers. I suppose i it is because it is an older product. Has anyone else run into this problem?  I don't understand why it de-activated itself in the first place.  Chat was no help at all and told me to try the forums.

Adobe Creative Suite Premium, running on Windows XP Professional 5.1. The disks say 3/04  1.1.1  on them. I bought the full package and my receipt is from 7/27/2004. InDesign (version 3) still works, Adobe Acrobat Professional still works (version 6.0), GoLive still works (version 7).  Photoshop (version 8.0) seems to be the only problem. I've pasted below the message I get when I try to use Photoshop.
Does that help?

  • I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

    I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
    I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud oder Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Student and Teacher Edition

    Hallo.
    Ich bin im Moment ein Student. Mein Studium geht noch 10 Monate lang.
    Jetzt weis ich nicht so recht was sich für mich daheim mehr lohnt.
    Die
    Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Student and Teacher Edition für 575€
    oder die Adobe Creative Cloud.
    Ich könnte wärend meines Studiums das Angebot für 20€ im Monat nutzen, allerdings kann ich ja nach meinem Studium nicht einfach auf dem Studenten abo bleiben? Wie ist das geregelt? Denn sonst hänge ich ja wieder auf den 60€ im Monat......als privat Kunde....für meine eigenen Projekte.
    Im Grunde wär die Creative Suite 6 bei dem Preis auf dauer bestimmt besser geeignet, aber ich habe Angst das die CS6 Versionen zu veraltet sind/zu schnell veralten.

    Nun ja, "veraltet" ist keine Aussage. Das hängt ja wohl in erster Linie davon ab, was du für ein System verwendest und wie lange du es behalten willst. CS6 läuft prima auf Windows und wird es noch ein paar Jährchen, nur auf Mac wird's langsam finster, weil sich Apple nicht drum schert...

    Aussimick you will want to enter in the qualifying serial number from the full version of Adobe software you purchased.  You can find the serial numbers located under your account by following the steps listed in Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium on Mac

    I am about to purchase the current MacBook Pro: 13" 2.4 GHz
    Everything in it will be standard.
    In the Minimum requirements for Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium it says I need a mac with 7200 RPM hard drive for editing compressed video formats; RAID 0 for uncompressed.
    The Standard MacBook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz has a 250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm Drive.
    There isn't an upgrade that I can see to get a 7200 RPM drive.
    Will the program work on this MacBook? Will the software just run slow? What is RAID 0?
    Hope somebody can help.
    Thanks

    I agree with sig. It doesn't make any sense to buy a bottom-of-the-line MBP to run one of the most demanding software packages in existence, particularly if your emphasis will be on video. You'll want a 15" i5 or i7 MBP with 8GB of RAM, one or more large 7200RPM FireWire 800 external hard drives, and a high-resolution external monitor for that.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium OpenGL problems

    Hello, whenever I open any of the programs in Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium I get an error message from my graphics card saying something is wrong with OpenGL. I have a Nvidia GeForce GT 420M with the latest driver. The error messages are error messages 4 and 8, I'll try to get them to happen again so I can post them here. The programs also crash right before those messages come up. I run Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit, with 6GBs of RAM. I have an Intel core i5 as my processor. Does anyone know any way to fix this? Any help would be apreciated.
    EDIT: Here are pictures of the errors that pop up:
    Any Ideas?

    why won't the cleaner open?
    it's for cs3,4,5,6 and cc.

  • Creative Suite 4 Production Premium Won't Open

    I have an Imac running 10.5.7.  I downloaded and installed a trial of Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, tried it, then I used the uninstall feature.  I purchased a copy (box set) and installed that. When I would attempt to open any of the applications, an icon would show up on the icon bar at the bottom of the screen, bounce up and down about 20 times and then vanish, i.e., the program would not open. So, I uninstalled it, then tried using Mac CS4 Cleanup Utility but it didn't find anything to clean up - empty.  I found a few traces of the software left in a couple of file folders, which I deleted and then I reinstalled it.  Same result.  It acts like it's going to open, then nothing.
    What else can I do to start with a clean slate and get this software up and running?  Thanks

    Give Adobe TS a call. Installation issues for current versions are handled for free.

  • Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium Language

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I couldn't find a CS6 related one...
    Anyways...
    I recently bought the Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium as a student version.
    Now, in order to get the serial number, I have to verify online.
    There, I am asked about the language at one point. As I bought the software in Germany, I think you should chose "German", right?
    My question is: may I also chose "English", as I'd prefer an english version?
    Thanks!

    I would choose the English version if that is what you want.  If things should run afoul in trying that you can always change the language (for CS6 at least) - Order product | Platform, language swap

  • How do I install and activate my Creative Suite 6 Production Premium on a second device?

    I successfully installed my Creative Suite 6 Production Premium product on my Mac, but now I need a copy on my home pc.  I cant find instructions anywhere as to how to do this. A clear step by step guide would be useful.

    As long as your home PC is also a Mac you just need to install and activate the same way you did originally.  If you need to download the installation files you can find links thru the following page:

  • Problem Installing Creative Suite 6 Production Premium

    I am trying to install the student and teacher edition of Adobe creative Suite 6 production premium. I received the serial number authorization and I can get through all the initial questions however when the install starts it stops at 2% while it's trying to install the dynamic link support. It takes about 30 minutes and then I get this error message: Installation Failed. Adobe Genuine Software Verification Failure.  I have run the cleaner tool and have removed all previous creative suite installations. I am running Windows 7 service pack 1. I have tried this three times..
    I tried to go through live chat but once I finally got to the first representative they couldn't answer the question and I've waited an hour to be connected to a technical support person and no one has come back to address this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was finally able to get this to work but the actual link to the CS6 versions is here:
