Procedure for installing CS6 upgrade from CS5.5 on new computer

Hello,
I am running Design Premium CS5.5 which was an upgrade from CS4. I am buying a new laptop. Can I install CS6 directly? Or do I have to install CS4 and then CS5.5 and then CS6?
Do I "deactivate" CS5.5 on the old computer first?
Thanks!
Tony

Hi Tony, you need not to install CS 4 and CS 5.5. You can directly install CS 6 on your new laptop.
It will ask your serial key for CS 6 and then it will ask the serial key for the qualifying product , in this case it will be the serial key for your CS 5.5.
And then it will start the installation.

I own CS6, upgraded from CS5.5 and need new computer. Do I need to reinstall all CS s'ware I own?

I own CS6 (upgraded from CS5.5) and need a new computer. Will I need to reinstall every other CS package I own (in order) to get CS6 to work, or is there a quicker way to reinstall CS6?

There is a quicker way....Start with the CS6 installation directly, when prompted to enter the serial number for previous version, enter it and you should be good to go.

Procedure to install Acrobat 8 professional on a new computer?

Be sure you have deactivated it from the old machine. You may have problems with a new system, but you will only find out by trying. If it installs, be sure to do the updates as your first step. Without the updates, you may not be successful. Even with the updates you may have problems, but so far several folks have reported success with Win7 (32 and 64-bit) and there has been a hint of success for Win8.1. Don't bother calling Adobe about any issues as they will tell you it is not compatibile and to by XI.

What is the best method for moving iTune Libraries from Old to New Computer

Hello,
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may offer.
My Sony Vaio Desktop recently died and untimely death, so I just purchased an HP Notebook. I was trying to wait out the release of the possible update of the Macbook line. However the old computer didn't agree. This HP will tie me over till a new release.
I've been doing weekly backups for over 3 years with a backup drive from Western Digital. At this point I just want to transfer my music in iTunes and applications from the App store that are loaded on to my iPod Touch into the new computer and then reauthorize and sync.
My question is what's the best method. Oh another problem I'm having includes the latest iPhone & iPod Touch software problem of 3rd party apps not working along with the vanishing of my music on the Touch.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Open up a fresh copy of iTunes. Point iTunes in the direction of your Western Digital Harddrive. Import Folders.
1. New Copy
2. Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Change -> <the address of the iTunes library on WD>
3. File -> Add Folder to Library -> <Select iTunes folder on WD>
Always keep a backup of your iTunes Library file and the iTunes XML Document. If you have those, then it might be just as simple as copying those to your iTunes file folder. If you are not sure where they are, then do a search for iTunes.xml.

I have 1 on my home computer so I can work from home if I need to...

Can I uninstall/de-activate on old computer and reuse the serial number on the new one?

CS6 upgrade from CS5 worth the cost?

CS5 upgrade to CS6 costs $199.00. Is it worth it? Thanks.

All depends on how you use it. If you buy cameras, CS6 will read future ACR (currently 8.2) although no "enhancements" will be included. CS5 will be stuck with 6.7 forever.

Look at the list of CS6 enhancements and see if you might use them. Beware that CS6 uses the video card more heavily and therefore at least a moderate card is needed. 3D requires at least 512 meg VRAM.
Hope this helps.

Student CS6 upgrade from CS5

How much is this upgrade and where is that download link?

There are no upgrades for S&T versions. You simply buy a completely new license at the discounted price (if you are eligible).

Multiple problems installing upgrade from CS5 Design Prem. to CS6 Design Prem.

I had started a thread a few days ago regarding problems that I was having while installing my upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium. Everything seemed to install fine with the exception of Acrobat X Pro. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4716847#4716847
I thought that I had resolved the issue through tech support, but apparently not. First of all, they had me install the trial version of Acrobat X which actually let me install with no errors. A couple of days passed and Acrobat asked if I would like to continue my trial or enter a serial number. I tried to use my serial that came with my upgrade but it rejected it, so I opted to continue the trial. Then earlier today as I was working in InDesign, upon launching I got a script error message.
Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS6\Flash\Flash-12.0.jsx
Line 153: if( app.name = = flashAppname && (module.name = = 'DefaultScript' II module.name = = 'Flash'))
Cannot open resource file.
After clicking OK it seemed to open InDesign fine and I was able to open files and go about working. While working I noticed that I had no effects in the dropdown menu under 'Object'. Tried the shortcut for them and nothing happened. I have yet to try to open any files containing effects (drop shadow or something) but am guessing that they will not work. My next course of action was to try to Uninstall and Re-Install. I removed CS6 and Acrobat X Pro from my computer and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner program. Then instead of installing the upgrade from the DVD, I decided to download the program from the Adobe LWS and give that a go thinking that maybe the download files are more up-to-date than the DVD that I recieved. Now it seems I am back to square one with the same problems (InDesign missing 'Effects' and who knows what else, and Acrobat X Pro failed to install), but this time I have diffent errors on the "error summary file" that shows up as a link in the "Installation Complete" dialog box. Sorry for being windy, but I really need to get this resolved. Thanks for any and all input. PC is Dell Precision T3500 running Windows 7 and is current on it's updates.

"Response Code" needed to install CS3 (upgrade from CS2) - cannot get through on 'chat'

How do I get a Response Code for installing CS3 (upgraded from CS2) on a new computer? I used to be able to call for the code but there is no phone support anymore. I have spent 3 days trying to connect through chat which is supposed to be available 24/7 and it says 'chat is unavailable at this time'. I have no way of installing my software. Please help adobe.

Okay so I spent a further 2 hours on hold this morning and actually forgot I was on hold until I heard the beep beep beep of disconnection! GARRRRRR
Anyway, after a nice visit from my family to celebrate my birthday, i got back on the phone this afternoon.
5 minutes later I was speaking to a Technical Support guy who was extremely helpful, did not ask me to repeat trouble shooting steps I had already taken, listened to me carefully as I explained the problem and diagnosed, fixed and activated my software within 30 minutes.
Resolution of the problem: they gave me an updater checker response code which worked immediately. Ctrl/Shift+dbl click on the broken update cheker page and up came a back door screen. Just a few digits later and PRESTO my software is up and running like a dream. Activation was smooth and registration no problem.
THANKS!!!
Now i just have to figure out how to tell Acrobat Prof 8 where the damn .dll is on my 64 bit vista computer - having already installed acrobat professional without telling it where to look because I didn't think the install was going to work anyway. Dang.
Off to the KB files for me.

If I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 will I have to pay again for upgrading to CSCC?

If I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 will I have to pay again for upgrading to CSCC?
I have CS5.5 and my current clients have CS6.
If I upgrade to CSCC will I have any trouble saving back my files to CS6? Are there any know issues that occur when saving back to CS6 or earlier?

Why would you update to CS6 when you can go directly to CC. And while you wouldn't pay another upgrade amount you would have to pay the monthly subscription whether you upgrade to CS6 or not.
And you shouldn't have problems saving your files in a form that is readable by CS6. You wouldn't be able to make further adjustments on items that are not in CS6 ie. Shake reduction, however the adjustments you make in CC will be visible.
