Photoshop 7 upgrade deadline: October 15

If you have Photoshop 7, your last upgrade opportunity is Wed Oct 15.
Purchase by then and you also get an upgrade to CS4. After that date no
upgrade path exists for Photoshop 7, and you must do a full purchase of the
current version of Photoshop.

In a test today, I found that you can still get an upgrade from Photoshop 7 to CS4, if you phone your order and get the right sales rep. If you try to order online or through a chat with the wrong sales rep they will deny the availability of an upgrade.
The sales rep I spoke with told me the release/upgrade was rushed through, so you are likely to find conflicting information from various reps.
Adobe seems to have lost the product registrations of some Photoshop 7 users, so those users were not informed of the upgrade deadline. A posting in the Adobe forums 11 days before a deadline is not sufficient notification. Some of us have to work for a living and don't hang out in the forums every day.

Windows 7, problems with Photoshop CS2 upgrade install

I just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and I seem to have outsmarted myself. Ever since version 5 I've bought the upgrade... well, now I no longer have the original version 5 disk and can no longer install and use either my CS or CS2 version. While I do have a backup copy of my old version 5 CD copied onto my hard drive it will not install on Win7 and the CS2 upgrade doesn't recognize the backup as a valid upgrade.
When I try to install version 5 I get an error message to the effect that it's incompatable with Windows 7. Trying to install either CS or CS2 and I get a "valid upgrade not found" error... if I let it install anyway in trial mode once it's done installing I get a "trial period is over, enter serial number". I enter my serial number for the version I'm installing and I get "invalid serial number" Invalid? It's the number on the back of the CD case verified 10 times.
Am I hosed or will I have to go back to Windows XP? I've paid for the Photoshop CS upgrade and the CS2 upgrade over the years but neither will install and run since I cannot install the last full version I own.
At the moment I'm having to use my laptop for all my photoshop work since it's still running XP and so it has a functional version of Photoshop.

It works fine.
Right click on the "setup.exe" file on the CS2 install disc and then click on "properties", then click on the "compatibility" tab.
Click on the box for "Run this in compability mode" and in the pull down select "XP sp2".
Click "apply" and then "ok".
Now go back to "setup.exe" and click on "Run as administrator" and CS2 should load fine.

I have Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Am trying to install Photoshop CS4 upgrade. It will not accept any of the serial numbers from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. The upgrade is for Photoshop CS 4 only

Need help installing Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection installed on my computer. When trying to install Photoshop CS 4 upgrade. I am ask for serial number of Photoshop CW, CS2, & CS3 I put in the serial number from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. None of which are accepted. What do I need to do to accomplish upgrade?

When you purchase a Creative Suite collection, you can't run an upgrade on an individual product within the Suite. You have to upgrade the entire collection.
You could purchase a copy of Photoshop CS6, or a subscription to Photoshop which can be as little as $9.99 with the Photography plan to the Creative Suite.
Adobe no longer sells upgrades to CS3 or CS4.

"Invalid Serial Number" - Photoshop CS2 (Upgrade)

Hello, I got the Photoshop CS2 Upgrade some years back and it has always worked fine. Whenever I needed to reinstall my operating system, it was a simple matter of deactivating the software and then activating it after reinstalling Windows.
However ths week, after reinstalling my Windows 7, I was informed that the Adobe CS2 activation server is no longer available, so I couldn't activate my CS2 that was installed from my CD. I read all about it on this website, and followed the instructions to download Photoshop CS2 directly from the website.
Now that I am installing the CS2 that I downloaded from here, I am being told that my serial number is "invalid". I have entered it correctly. It is very frustrating, the software on my CD has never given any problems in upgrading my Photoshop CS to CS2, but the one I downloaded is a pain. I would appreciate it if someone could help me resolve this problem.

Are you trying to install the one in the following link that doesn’t need activation if you use the serial number also supplied at the link, below, or some other one? “Downloaded from the website” and “downloaded from here” aren’t very precise:

Photoshop CS4 upgrade and Photographers offer

I want to take advantage of the photographers offer but realise I only have a Photoshop CS4 upgrade serial number having previously upgraded from CS. Will this be sufficient to access the offer?

Hi GrahamC16,
I did check almost all the relevan documents, there were no special reference about the Upgrade product serial number.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/buying-guide.html
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html#pslr-bundle.
The best option will be proceed for purchase & check the eligibility . I have checked GrahamC16 email ID & found that he has already spoken with our chat support & have got almost similar response.

Photoshop CS6 Upgrade Does Not Recognize CS3 Extended as Qualifying Product

I am unable to install my Photoshop CS6 upgrade because the upgrade does not recognize a qualifying product on my system. When asked, I enter my current Photoshop CS3 Extended serial number, but the upgrade does not recognize it as a valid serial number from a qualifying product. I have tried to do a clean install to make sure no other applications were running or in conflict. My operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Service Pack 3. I have an Intel Core 2, Quad CPU @2.66 GHz with 4GB RAM.

SouthCityTim I would recommend contacting our support team so they can validate your upgrade path and serial number. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

Photoshop CS6 upgrade won't let me sign in.

Photoshop CS6 upgrade won't let me sign in. When it's getting ready to download, after I put in my seriel number it asks me to sign in however when I push the button I get a window that says "Adobe Application Manager has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." and makes me close the program.

Try to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
Here are some links to help make contact:

Can i purchase and install photoshop cs6 upgrade on a windows 8 pc.

i have photoshop cs5 upgrade installed on a windows 7 pc. can i purchase photoshop cs6 upgrade from adobe and install it on a windows 8.1 windows pc.this is important because i do not want to purchase a new pc and then find i cannot purchase and install photoshop cs6 onto it.

Inasmuch as you are allowed to purchase a perpetual license for Photoshop CS6, there's no technical reason you can't install it on Windows 8. When an upgrade installation asks about the prior product, you need only give it the serial number of your Photoshop CS5 license.

Photoshop cs5 upgrade installation problem

I just purchased a Photoshop cs5 upgrade (upgrading from cs2). There were no instructions with the disk. I put the disk in my pc's DVD-ROM drive, and the computer started reading it, but nothing appeared on my monitor. The computer stopped reading the disk after a short time period. There was never any indication, on the monitor screen, that anything was installing, or had installed. My pc's os is Windows XP professional, and it appears to satisfy system requirements. I have eset smart security 5 installed on this pc. How can I get this upgrade to install?

If the Autorun option is disabled (and it frequently is because of security concerns) the setup program will not launch automatically on inserting the disk.
Use Windows Explorer to see the contents of the disk. Double-click on the .exe file to launch the setup wizard. Follow the onscreen instructions there on.

If you installed them by download then you will need to do the same when your machine is ready. If you upgraded to version 12 then as a minimum you will need to have the serial number from version 10 in order to confirm your eligibility for the upgrade activation. You do not need to have version 10 installed.
You can check your account online to see if there are links to download the installation files. If you cannot find them in your account, then here are links to find the trial versions elsewhere - you can activate them to full use using your serial numbers...

Did Russell Brown's Adobe Paper Textures Pro (extension) get removed from Photoshop CC (2014.2) October release?

Did Russell Brown's Adobe Paper Textures Pro (extension) get removed from Photoshop CC (2014.2) October release?

I was just about to make a comment on the Discussions page. I believe that the reason I couldn’t get Paper Textures to work in PS CC (2014.2) is because all (2014) versions of PS are HTML based not Flash based.
Adobe should have called Photoshop CC (2014) Photoshop CC (HTML) so we would remember that switch over in their core coding.
Now I have to got to Russell’s script site and get Paper Textures 3.1.0.
Thanks for helping.

Photoshop CS6 upgrade reinstall fail

On a Windows Vista service pack 2 machine.
I successfully installed Photoshop CS6 upgrade on my computer and it was up and running. Two days later I was hit with the FBI moeypack virus and had to do a system restore and then ran Mallwarebytes to get rid of it. The system restore point was just before I installed CS6 and after the restore, CS6 was gone. I tried to reinstall CS6 and now the installer fails. I ran Adobe Support Advisor and it shows no problems. I ran Adobe creative suite cleaner tool chosing CS6 and it didn't help. Photoshop CS5 is still on my computer and it still runs OK. I am at a loss as to what to try next.

Photoshop CS6 in not compatible with Win Vista. Please find the System Requirement: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html#main_ Photoshop_CS6_system_requirements

Cannot Reinstall Photoshop CS2 Upgrade

I am migrating to a new Win7 computer. I have a Photoshop CS2 upgrade CD, but the installer wants to find an older version on the hard drive. I no longer have older versions (stretching back to 3.0). I had to replace a bad hard drive last year and was able to pull this off then, but I can't recall how.
Any ideas?

If you go to the Adobe.com website and log into the your account you will find all the serial numbers for your registered products.
