Purchase CS5

I really want to get After Effects. But I don't have $1000 to buy CS6. I don't want CC just because of the membership dramas and the subscription only for a year. It will be a waste because I have school and I want to use it in the holidays or free time. The best for me would be CS6 and lower because it will always be there. Is there anywhere I can purchases AE CS5 from Adobe?

If you're a student, I'm pretty sure Adobe has student pricing - they might even have it for a perpetual license on CS6. You should look into that.
I know you aren't that interested in the subscription model, but it sounds perfect for someone in your situation who doesn't want to spend a big chunk of money, but who wants to play around in your spare time. And, again, I'm pretty sure you can get a student discount on that too! There isn't any drama with it either. It's really a straightforward and painless process - especially when you compare it with the license transfer business.
As Mylenium says, you will have to get a used copy of CS5 or CS5.5 if you really don't want the latest version. My first concern about buying used software is making sure it's legit. Not everyone on the internet is nice, so be careful.

  • I purchased CS5 Design Standard about 5 years ago. Now I am trying to install  second PC, but I got a message like " This serial number is not correct."  I want to know the correct serial number, but I missed my ex adobe ID because I've changed my E-mail

    I purchased CS5 Design Standard about 5 years ago. Now I am trying to install  second PC, but I got a message like " This serial number is not correct."  I want to know the correct serial number, but I missed my ex adobe ID because I've changed my E-mail address.

    It is not clear to me what your issue is with not being able to sign in to your Adobe account to find the serial number.  You should still be able to sign in and find your serial number if you registered the software.
    If your first PC is a Windows machine you might be able to extract the serial number from it using the Belarc Advisor

  • How do I install my already purchased cs5 onto my windows 8 pro?

    how do i install my already purchased cs5 onto my windows 8 pro? i have the cds but cannot use them on my tablet. thanks!

    Adobe applications cannot be used on the tablets devices, they does not meet the system requirement.
    The application are designed and tested to run proficiently on Desktop/Laptop machines not for tablet.
    The only applications available for mobile devices are Photoshop Touch and Ideas.

  • New guy! Recently purchased CS5 web premium,

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased CS5 web premium, I realize that I need to learn about ALL the programs, Is there an order that I should learn in? Is it better to start with Photoshop or Flash? Dreamweaver or Illustrator?
    Also, I noticed that there are 3 Flash programs, Flash Professional, Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder 4. Are these used together or standalone? is there a correct order to learn these applications?
    Can't wait to learn but don't know where to start!!! Appreciate all help!!
    Thanks!

    Well, what is it that you actually want to do? I really suggest you watch at least some overviews and basic tutorials. You seem mightily confused as to what each program is actualyl used for and ultimately that in combination with your needs will dictate learning priorities.
    Flash Professional, Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder 4. Are these used together or standalone?
    FC is something completely different than the "real" Flash and a simplified tool to produce animations and presentations without programming. Flash Pro is the "standard" Flash, part graphical animation, part programming. FB (formerly Flex) is the geek version of Flash which mostly focuses on programming for server-side stuff on large websites with dynamically generated Flash content.

  • Can I purchase CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together?

    Hello,
    I don't know if I can purchase both CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together. The restrictions with Student Teacher editions say you can only purchase one license of any Adobe STE product within a twelve month period. Does this mean I could purchase CS5 now and in a year buy LR3 or it's newest version?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can buy both now, or whenever you want.
    Per Adobe's Student Edition FAQ, "Each eligible person may purchase only one copy per Adobe Student and Teacher Edition title ..."
    However, those two products are different titles - so you could get a copy of each.  There's an example of how it works given in the FAQ.
    It's a good thing actually because you probably will never have an opportunity to get a better offer on Adobe products than when you're a student.

  • I purchased CS5 -free upgrade to CS6

    I purchased CS5 in April of this year... At purchase I was informed I could get a free upgrade to CS6 ... How do I upgrade?

    That sounds like an online store.  If so, have you tried logging on to your account, and checking 'My orders'?   I am not sure how the free upgrade would work, and I have a feeling that trying to phone Adobe is going to be a long and frustrating experience.
    There are quite a few Google hits HERE

  • After purchasing CS5, updating online to CS6, I reimaged harddrive. How do I get back to CS6?

    After purchasing CS5 boxed, updating to CS6 online, I've had to reimage my harddrive. How do I get back to CS6 from 5 without the physical copy???

    you don't need to install cs5 in order to install your cs6 upgrade.
    after you start the installation of cs6 you will be prompted for your cs6 serial number.  the installer will recognize that is an upgrade serial number and search your system for your cs5.  failing to find that it will prompt you for your cs5 serial number.  after entering that, installation will proceed.
    if you wanted to install both cs5 and cs6, you can:
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

    I have no problems with InDesign. It may pay to ask Adobe if it is a common problem with Lion of if they have a solution

  • Access to CS4 if I purchase CS5?

    I have a specialty effects plug-in that works for CS4 (After Effects) but is not yet updated to work under CS5. If I purchase CS5 Production Premium, is there a way for me to gain access to the CS4 version of After Effects?

    If you have CS5 Production Premium or Master Collection, then you already have After Effects CS4 in the same package:

  • Purchasing CS5

    I recently downloaded and installed a trial version of CS5 premium. I now want to buy the software but can't seem ti find a link for it. Any ideas on how I can buy the software?

    Hi aroaxis,
    CS5 is no longer available for purchase as it's an older version.The current version is CS6.
    Please consider purchasing CS6 Premium or opt for Creative cloud Subscription.
    If you still wish to purchase CS5 then you can buy volume license of the current version (CS6) and then opt for backward licensing to CS5 
    Please refer : Backward licensing policy
    Adobe allows program members to order a current-version license but use a prior version. These members can contact Adobe Customer Service to request a serial number for the earlier version if they do not already have one. Prior-version software is available via ESD and can be purchased through standard resellers. The program member must follow all guidelines of the current-version EULA.
    Note: This policy is applicable under the TLP and Forms Licensing Program (FLP) as well.
    Refer the document : http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/volume-l icensing/pdfs/pv_esd_customer_faq.pdf

  • I've purchased CS5 and want to upgrade to CC. When I enter my serial number it says I'm not qualified. Why?

    I've purchased CS5 and want to upgrade to CC. When I enter my serial number it says I'm not qualified. Why?

    You will have to check that with sales support directly. Nobody here can answer this question, even more so since it would require to know your purchase details and other confidential info like serial numbers, which would be stupid to share on a public forum. Try the web chat.

  • How to install previously purchased CS5 products on a MacBook Pro w/out a CD drive?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with retina display that does not have a CD drive. I own the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 & Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended in CD form.

  • Problem purchasing CS5 Design Premium Educational Edition

    Hi all,
    I want to purchase the CS5 Design Premium Educational edition.
    I live/work in Singapore and am attending distance learning at the New York Institute of Photography. While my classmates are enjoying the benefits of using CS5 with student discount, I am stuck using GIMP, which while good, does not offer the same functionality or stability as Photoshop.
    The reason Adobe customer services give is that it's because I live in Singapore but my educational credentials are from USA. These need to match for the purchase to proceed.
    Surely this should not matter? Does anyone know of any way I can make this happen?
    Many thanks

    Negativ3,
    This forum is not officially monitored by Adobe. It is a user-to-user forum. As such, the answers you get are primarily speculation and not authoritative when it comes to sales and licensing issues. My recommendation would be to call Adobe Customer Support and ask to speak with a supervisor. Explain the situation that although you are resident in Singapore, you are part of a distance learning, internet-based course based in New York with the New York Institute of Photography. If the supervisor cannot assist you, ask to be connected to a manager. Eventually, you should be able to talk with someone who understands your situation and can resolve the issues.

  • How to download a purchased CS5.5 for Mac

    Hi!
    My laptop was stolen, now I have a new laptop and have to download all manually.
    In "My Adobe" I have located the serial number for my software, but no download links in "Order history".
    Please help me to download PS5.5 for Mac.
    My Adobe ID is [email protected]
    Thanks!

    Noel,
    If you bought the physical box version, there will be no download link.
    In my case, there's not even an Order History in my account despite a long list of registered products there, because I didn't buy directly from Adobe until CS5, which I bought in the box. I've bought either from MacMall or from Amazon.com.  Cheaper prices, much better customer service. 
    The only version for which I can see a download link is CS6, because I got it for free with the purchase of the CS5 box.
