Photoshop CS4 Upgrade
I want to upgrade from CS to CS4. Is CS4 shipping with the latest ACR 5.5 and DNG converter 5.5? I hate to have to download and then worry about locating the current files and copying them into the proper folders.
Hi AoiroKibou55,
I was looking at the upgrade options here: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_ creativesuite6.html?start=10
It looks like upgrading requires at least Photoshop CS5.

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. -
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.

You still need to contact the manufacturer. You need to determine from them if they have drivers that support the OS that is currently installed on your comp or read the following KB Articles:

Cannot install Photoshop CS4 upgrade
Whenever I click on Setup.exe, the hourglass shows for a moment and then nothing at all happens! I have tried everything I know: making a New Admin account, disabling Services and Startups via msconfig, doing a thorough virus check (nothing found), etc. I have tried to first uninstall CS3 but, surprisingly, it will not uninstall via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel: after clicking Change/Remove, nothing happens. I spent considerable time with a support person at Adobe but to no avail.
I should add that I install and uninstall programs frequently, and I have never before had any such problems with other Adobe products such as Lightroom or previous versions of Photoshop. There is nothing exotic about my system: Windows XP, dual monitors (I tried disabling one of them), 4gb RAM, 3 internal hard drives, ATI radeon graphics card.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY PLAUSIBLE SOLUTIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR THIS ISSUE. Many thanks!Dave, thanks again for your suggestion. I ran CS3Clean Script at level 2 but no solution, so then I ran it at level 3. Still no solution and, much worse, now no Photoshop or Bridge! I backed up data files the Script program recommended, but it seems to have removed the entire CS3 program. I do have my original downloaded CS3 package, but still it will not install: clicking setup.exe is followed by a message about initializing, and then nothing. And still, my purchased CS4 upgrade will not install: as always, after clicking setup.exe, nothing happens.
Very frustrating. I do not want to reinstall Windows XP if that means I have to reinstall all my programs and re-tweak all their settings. I can call Adobe support again, but their technician was not very helpful in my previous call. If you have any further ideas, please let me know, and thanks for all your help. -

Trouble with Photoshop CS4 Upgrade
I recently bought a CS4 Photoshop upgrade on Ebay, but when I enter my old photoshop serial number, it says it is not valid.
The CS4 serial number works, but I cannot continue the upgrade without the CS2 serial number.
"Invalid Serial Number" comes up.Well, there's always the chance it's a scam. In any case call serial number support or use the web chat. they can check the number and tell you what is going on.

Upgrading to Photoshop CS5 from Photoshop CS4 Upgrade
I want to upgrade from CS4 to CS5, but CS4 is an upgrade. Can I still upgrade to CS5 even though CS4 is an upgrade?
Yes. That is, after all, the point of selling people upgrades with every new version.

Adobe CS Premium to Photoshop CS4 Upgrade?
I'm still running Adobe CS Premium... I really only use Photoshop anymore so I bought the Adobe Photoshop CS 4 Upgrade. When the upgrade asks for my serial number I give it the one that appears in the Photoshop CS "About Photoshop..." window. The Photoshop CS 4 upgrader says it's not valid. Is it possible to upgrade from CS Premium to Photoshop CS 4 or can I only upgrade to the entire CS 4 suite or not at all?
Thanks much,

Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept serial number
Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept the serial number. Unable to deactivate Photoshop before upgrading computer due to hardware failure. Note that Adobe Photoshop CS4 New Install Bundle package consists of the new Photoshop CS4 Upgrade bundled together with the qualifying product, in this case an Adobe Photoshop CS2 License. I have tried both the CS2 and CS4 Serial numbers and both have not worked.

Can't upgrade from Photoshop elements 8 to Photoshop CS4
I recently installed an SSD, and had to reinstall Photoshop CS4 upgrade (from Elements 8). Because the upgrade check screen does not list anything newer than Elements 7, I cannot continue the install. In the past I called Adobe, and they had me ctrl + shift + double-click to get a challenge code. Tried to call Adobe this time but unfortunately the automated phone system said they don't support Photoshop via phone any more, or something like that, so I'm dead in the water. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I ordered Photoshop CS4 for the wrong platform, what can I do?
I ordered Photoshop CS4 (upgrade) accidentally for Windows (I have a Mac). I had the 30 day trial version so i was in no rush and it took me two weeks from the point of receiving to try and install it to then realize the mistake. The past few weeks I have called adobe Customer service to see about swapping the windows copy for Mac but I cant get through to anyone. I have called five separate times on different days. Each time I spend at least a half hour on hold just to be hung up on, transfered to someone else and put on hold another half hour/or hung up on, or I just never get through to anyone and my patience eventually runs out. Right now I have been on hold an hour and 56 minutes and I have not even talked to one person. Another Time it was about 2 hours. Customer service is horrible!
Am I wasting my time? If I get through to someone competent will I be able to swap this for a Mac version? With this customer service waste of time I have passed the 30 day window to try and return my software to the retailer.
Please Help

I went from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS. I have a CS2 Creative Suite that I have not reinstalled on my computer.
I would like to buy only the Photoshop CS4 upgrade. My question: When I buy the upgrade of CS4 and install, do I have to have CS2 on the computer?
Does CS4 stand alone?
Thank you, 12oopsHI
No you don;t have if the cs4 is an upgrade it will ask about your old cs2 serial.

Photoshop CS4 vs. CS4 Extended Student Edition
I have Photoshop CS2, and it's incompatible with Vista on my laptop. At this point I'm going to buy some version of Photoshop CS4. So here are my questions:
- What's the difference between Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended? The extended version Student Edition is significantly cheaper.
- Should I just buy the regular Photoshop CS4 Upgrade or is the student/education edition of Photoshop CS4 cheaper?
At this point it's a matter of what to buy and what's the least expensive.In the absence of any clearly stated restrictions against commercial use of Adobe software puchased under any kind of discounted student or educational licensing program, I personally say "go for it".
If you have concerns about not being able to use the software for commercial reasons, certainly an inquiry to Adobe could be done, but even there you might get a wrong answer, so you should ask for specific documentation of such restrictions. In the absence of that, the burden of prosecution lies upon Adobe to pursue violations of a "no commercial use" rule and showing it was clearly stated for the product in question at the time of purchase. I suspect Adobe has a lot better ways to invest their time and money than in trying to identify an artist whose work they suspect was created using Adobe software, tracking down that person and, getting legal authorization to have an investigation performed into conclusively proving said artwork was created by Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. as opposed to other capabale digital imaging applications (Corel Draw, The GIMP, PaintShop Pro, etc.).
Zero reason for Adobe to offer such a discounted price on their software? I think not...for years we saw, and perhaps still do, Adobe software that was normally very expensive yet was greatly discounted when bundled with hardware. By the same argument of zero reason for a discounted student license, I could say the same would be true to those hardware/software bundles...but, there is good reason to offer the software at reduced prices in both cases: NEW CUSTOMER and FUTURE SALES, or at least the potential for that. Conversely, one might just opt instead for a lower-cost software package and happily stay with it for years to come.
I started using Photoshop with version 3.0 that was in a scanner bundle, and I've upgraded to nearly every version ever since. Sure, Adobe would've made even more off me if I'd paid the full price initially, but that is something I'd not have done...in fact, I even remember buying Micrografx Picture Publisher because it was inexpensive and yet pretty highly regarded at the time. After a bit of time using PS, I hated Picture Publisher, and as my experience grew, I also found my recommenations to others was to go the Adobe route. So, maybe that lower-cost investment in Photoshop paid off more in the long run for Adobe than if I'd paid full price or even a modestly higher one at the time. I think the same is true today, in Adobe offering their software at greatly reduced prices to students or anyone qualifying for a given discounted license.
I also believe that a discounted software license should come without any restrictions on commercial use, because:
1) Burden of proof is going to be more costly than the profit loss on the product in question unless pursued on a large scale, in which case the software manufacturer would (or should?) garner a strong customer backlash.
2) If a student qualifies to purchase discounted software and is talented enough to use said software to create marketable artwork, and if they can offset some of their cost of education by selling this artwork while still in school, then that's great!
3) Just because a student's education is later completed, shouldn't restrict them from commercially using software they purchased while still a student.

Daryl
