Older versions of a program (e.g., Illustrator)

Do you have to keep older versions of a program (e.g., Illustrator) on your computer?

Hi,
If you want to save the space then you can uninstall the products. Mylenium has mentioned correct about keeping the Serial No for Product upgrade in future.

Once a older version of a program is uninstalled on a mac, can they be deleted from apps folder?

Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
Good luck & happy computing!

Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13. Using a SSD which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?

Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13. Using a Solid State Drive which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?

Yes, there is no need to keep previous versions of software on the SSD (or on your computer).
Also, you didn't mention this but if the photos are on the SSD, you should move them off the SSD to a regular hard disk using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

Is it ok to erase the older version of iMovie when you have updated it?

Is it ok to remove the older versions of a program that have been updated, ie Imovie?? What is the best way to do this...?

Yes, keep the Older iMovie11..or what ever older version you have...you will soon want to go back to it I am sure.
I like to know whihch HDD I am importing moview to..That does nto seem possible in new iMovie 10..where as in the older iMovie11 you could choose.
Yes, I know the new one is Version 10...where as the old iMovie11 was version 9...but well done Apple for an inspired naming scheme...not confusing at all.......bloody Muppets..someone needs a big slap .
Some versions are better for some stuff than others. I wish I had known you coudl keep older versions.

Installer not installing older versions

I have several versions of a utility built with Lab Windows CVI (NOT LabView) and I want to allow the users to install older versions when ever they want.
They can't!!!!!!!
I have older already release versions that I want users to install, when do I need to change to make an older version install over a newer version?????? Is it something in setup.ini?
This has become critical on one computer where the Add/Remove Programs no longer lists this utility. I cannot uninstall the newer version so that I can install the older version. Any ideas what to do about this?
I can't even install the same version, so I had to build a new version (I consider it a fake version, because it is only to uninstall the latest version). I installed this fake version, and I was then able to remove the "latest" version and install the older version.
So, I have 3 questions:
1) How can I change my builds to allow any version to be installed on top of any other version?
2) How can I fix or uninstall a version that is not in the Add/Remove Programs?
3) How can I change the installer of already built and released version (some ini file or something) to allow it to install on newer versions?

Hey Ken,
I'm curious as to what's happening that won't let your users use an older version of the program--do they see an error message of some kind? Generally, as long as the CVI Runtime Engine on the target machine is the same version or newer than the engine the executable was targeted for, it will work. Here's a KnowledgeBase about that: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7F61479A2FD8331D86257257007F5F1B?OpenDocument
Starting in CVI 2012, you can force an executable to use a specific version of the Runtime Engine, and install multiple versions of the RTE on the same machine, as seen in this CVI help file: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370051V-01/cvi/usermanual/sidebysideoverview/
So, to answer your questions:
1. Changing builds to allow any version to be installed: You should only need to have the newest version of the CVI Runtime installed on the user's machine. So if the user has at some point installed the newer version of the utility, they will have that RTE version. You could also rebuild your older versions to include the newest version of the Runtime Engine. The Runtime Engine is backwards-compatible with executables that were built to target older versions of the RTE.
2. How can I fix or uninstall a version that is not in Add/Remove Programs: It's unusual for the distribution to not make an entry in Add/Remove Programs. What version of CVI did you create these distributions with, and do the applications appear in the Start menu? You might check the application directory (Most likely C:\Program FIles\<Your Application>, and see if an uninstaller exists there. For older versions of CVI, we included an uninstall utility in the program directory. There should be no problem with having multiple versions of your program installed, though.
3. How can I change the installer to install on newer versions: Once a distribution kit has been made, it's not possible to change which version of the Runtime Engine is included with that distribution. If you have access to the source files, you can of course create a new distribution which includes that RTE.
I hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any further questions on this issue!

Can I purchase older versions of Fireworks? (cs3 or cs4)

Hello,
I've been using Fireworks since the first CS, and was wondering if I can still purchase older versions of the program? CS6 seems a little pricey to me, and am looking to buy maybe either the CS3 or CS4 version. Thanks!

You can purchase older versions of Fireworks on Ebay but be careful of pirated illegal copies. Sometimes you can find a used copy of Fireworks and transfer the title and sometimes you can even find older never-used in-the-box Fireworks software. Some of the older versions might not work on the newer Windows or Mac operating systems.

Adobe CC - Older versions - Can I install Flash CS6?

I have CC account which is brilliant! But I work with Googles DoubleClick Studio and the file extensions aren't supported on CC...the latest they support is CS6 for Flash. I've just seen the update where older versions of the programs can be installed but I haven't seen Flash CS6 on the list...is it available?

yes, Creative Cloud Help | Install both CC and CS6 apps

I'm trying to download the newest version of CC programs on my computer but somehow get older versions

I'm trying to download the newest version of for instance Illustrator (october 2014, including Creative Cloud Libraries, Lady with Sunglasses version) on my computer, but somehow I still get the older version (no libraries, Lion version). What do I do wrong? I tried a new download of Creative Cloud, removed all the Apps and tried a new Illustrator... still the 'old' version.

I'm using an iMac with the newest OS X Yosemite. I tried to reinstall Creative Cloud, removed all the programs. But I still get the 'old' 2014 version with the Lionhead, not the Sunglasses (october 2014) with interactive libraries. I use Adobe iPad apps, for instance Adobe Brush, Adobe Shape and Adobe Color and it's so great to have all the things you make with these apps in your Illustrator & Photoshop libraries. Somehow it worked om my laptop, but not om my home computer.

I need to download Firefox 1.5 or 2.0 in order to run a program that is not supported in the newer versions of firefox. How can I get the older versions?

Is there a way to restrict handles when snapping like older versions of illustrator?

In previous versions of illustrator, when you snapped to grid the handles would snap as well. This made making complicated precise line work easier and faster. I noticed in the October update that the removal of this function is being touted as an upgrade/feature??
"When snapping is turned on, your anchor points and handles (direction lines) align to your choice of pixel, grid, or point. However, handles snapping to the grid restricts the freedom with which you draw. In the 2014 release of Illustrator CC, whatever you choose to snap to, handles are completely unrestricted. When handles are not subject to being snapped to a grid, you have much finer control over drawing and editing workflows."
...that handle restriction was actually very, very useful to me. Any way to get that back/toggle it on and off? Without having to downgrade to older versions of illustrator?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

The answer is not yet. Most people are hoping that the engineers will introduce a toggle to return the old behavior as an option but don't hold your breath. If you absolutely need it you will have to revert to an earlier version.

Placing an Illustrator file from a newer version into an older version of InDesign

Is posible to place an Illustrator file from a recent version (like Illustrator CS6) into an older version of InDesign (like InDesign CS5)?. I don't have the software right now to test it so I want to be sure.

Should be fine.

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

Itunes updated and now it won't work. I unstalled it and reinstalled the older version and it still won't open. Says the itunes library won't work with the older program. Help

It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Maintain PDF layering when opening in older version of Illustrator?

As the title explains, I was wondering if it may be possible to avoid data loss upon opening a PDF in an older version of Illustrator. I have a client who is still using CS5, and needs to have editable PDF files that maintain their hierarchy.
Currently standing, I get the "This file was generated by a newer version of Illustrator" error, which flattens the artwork into a single layer. Is there a workaround for this, or am I out of luck?
Thank you in advanced for your help.

Have you tried saving as CS5. There's a drop-down menu for choosing a version. It will still flatten some things that are not available in the older version, but you may have better luck keeping the layers intact that way.
