Photoshop CS6 upgrade - installation question

So, 2 months ago I got a new notebook. I installed CS4 and made sure I got everything working perfectly. Then, this month I installed the CS6 trial and boy it has a crapload of permission-related temp file directory blunders. To narrow it down to just CS6, I uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe related software on my machine except for CS4.  After 10-12 hours of configuration trial and error with the temp-file blunder, I have CS6 working perfectly as well. So now I have a trial version of CS6 with a leftover CS4 key on the computer.
Now for my question: Will the trial accept a CS6 upgrade key or will I have to reinstall using the CS6 upgrade disc? I'd really prefer not to uninstall CS6 again.

Yes, you can just input your serial number in the trial version.

  • 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 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

  • 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.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 Installation Question

    How can I tell if my software installed properly? The software came with three discs, and it only installed the first disc. I am new to Photoshop, and do not know if my software installed properly? Can anyone help?

    Gautham K,
    Thank you for your quick replies. I have checked,and my OS is indeed 64 bit. I have been using the 32 bit version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, since I installed it last evening. I have a few quick questions;
    Will I loose any functionality if I stay with the 32 bit version versus un-installing and installing the 64 bit version from disc 2?
    If I decide to un-install, and re-install from disc 2, will there be any software registration issues (as I have already registered the software)?
    Thanks again for all of your help.
    Jim

  • Photoshop CS6 upgrade from CS4 continually asks for serial number.

    I purchased an upgrade from Photoshop CS 4 to Photoshop CS 6 directly from Adobe in December of 2012. (My version of CS4 was originally purchased by me as part of a CS4 Web Premium Suite.)
    My CS4 version has worked since 2009 with no licensing issues.
    I did not install the upgradeto CS6  immediately, I just installed it in August of this year, but I do not think that the problem stems from my delay in installation.
    What happens is that every 6-8 times that I open the program, I get a screen asking me to "License Creative Cloud", which I do NOT want.
    The only options I am given are: Join Now, License This Product, or Continue Trial.
    If I simply X out of the screen, Photoshop CS6 will not open at all.
    If I click: License This Product, I get a sign-in screen that asks for my serial number, which I fill in and then my program opens.
    I have tried customer support 3 times - one chat and 2 phone calls (all lasting at least 1 hour each time) and I am not getting the correct help to solve this issue.
    I am extremely frustrated and outraged that I am bothered by this stupid issue.
    Please help me to stop this screen about Creative Cloud from appearing and from having to constantly input my serial number.

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended Update Questions

    I have Photoshop CS6 Extended as part of the Master Suite (stand alone) on a 64bit Windows PC. it is currently running PS version 13.0
    I can't connect the PC to the internet at this time but would like to download the update(s) on my laptop and then install in the PC.
    My Questions are:
    1) are there any known problems with offline upgrades to Photoshop doing it this way? Any precautions I should take?
    2) what version CS6 Extended should I be Updating to (as I'm on a stand alone version and not Creative Cloud)?
    thanks

    Windows CS6 perpetual should be at version 13.0.1.3 to be fully up to date. Where subscription CS6 is version 13.1.2
    Adobe Windows Photoshop Update downloads are downloaded from Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    However that does not show ACR 8.7.1 You get that here Camera Raw 8.7.1 is now available

  • Photoshop Cs6 (TRIAL) - Installation failed - Encountered Errors.

    Hi, Sorry I don't know if this question has been asked yet, so I'll have to ask.
    Everytime I have tried to install the Photoshop CS6 trial, it says that my installation has failed and that it has encountered errors. Below is what my error report says.
    Exit Code: 15  -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)    ERROR: Media DB Error : 12  
    So, I'm not understanding what the error is.
    I know I meet the system requirements because I'm running:
    Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium)
    4 GB RAM
    585 GBs of Hard Drive.
    It says 86x bit? I think?
    I'm pretty sure that I have those met.
    Other than that, I'm just not understanding why this isn't working.
    Adobe Download Assist is installed just fine.
    Hope someone can help!

    Did you have the Photoshop Beta installed? If yes, then you need to uninstall that one before you can install the trial.
    Does your account have sufficient privileges? If not, you might need to log in as Admin.
    Run the install again.
    If the error recurs, then run CS Cleaner Tool and remove all products.
    Reinstalling after that, should resolve the problem. Get the Cleaner tool here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Trying to install photoshop CS6 trial, installer initializes then dissapears

    I'm trying to install the photoshop CS6 extended version trial, and when I start the installer, it opens the initializer, the bar fills, then it dissapears and nothing happens. I'm recently upgraded to windows 8.1, the trial used to work fine on windows 7.

    CaseyF are you attempting to use the same trial which was installed prior to upgrading to Windows 8.1?  If so, and assuming the trial is not expired, then I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log for the specific error causing the installer to fail to initialize.  Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for information on how to locate and interpret the PDApp.log.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover in the log to this discussion.

  • Wire Worm Plug-in and Photoshop CS6 64bit installation on a Win 7 64b

    I think I didn't install the 32 bit version from the DVD and thinking this is a 64bit machine I only opted for the 64bit version of Photoshop CS6.  Now the weired thing is it installed in the Program Files folder and not in the Program Files (x86) folder, I didn't change any default destination given by the installer.  The about screen of the application shows a 64bit version of the Photoshop.  Now the problem is I want my Wire Worm plug-in to work in Photoshop, developer advises to launch 32 bit version to make it work and deploy the plug-in in the respective plug-in folder in the program files.  What to do?
    This is a 64bit Windows 7 machine with an Intel i7-3940XM Processor and 32Gs of RAM

    It seems you did not installed PS 32 bit, Please install it from the Disc again and verify Program Files (x86) folder, it should be there after successful installation.

  • Error message in Photoshop CS6 upgrade download

    I just purchased the upgrade from Photoshop CS5 to CS6 as a download. I downloaded the download manager as instructed, and installed it. I then downloaded the CS6 upgrade. But when I went to install it, it asked for my serial number, which I (double-checked and) provided. It gave me a message saying that although it is a valid serial number, there is no product available that matches that serial number. I don't understand. Help?

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

    Hi,
    This is a known issue, The workaround for the same is to create a folder 'Templates' at
    >'<Windows drive>:\Users\<current user login>id>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\'
    Then try installing PS again it should work.
