Question:  Is Creative Suites a good desktop publishing product?

Is Creative Suites a good desktop publishing product for creating high quality brochures, sales letters and marketing materials right from my laptop?   Thanks  

2 computers Max. You would need to uninstall to use in a different computer. (say a 3rd etc)
Unless you have a network which I would think that you should be able to install it on a local server as a shared drive and everyone MAY be able to access it. However I am not sure if the Software MUST be installed on a C drive to use.
I have video games installed on an external drive and can play them without having them installed on the c drive. Yet, some features may not work.
Besides I just bought the Master suite. I am coming from Avid and must state that the learning curve is huge and it does not come with a manual. Might as well be open source with no manuel. IMO.  Or give their software away and 'clean up' on tutorials. Not the select ones that cover what a person wants to give on.
IE: If you want to add an effect like Zoom in a project nowhere to look it up. You must slueth through poorly scripted videos with missing steps. Adobe Vs Avid or FCP may boil down to user interface, or instruction manuals you don't have to buy for 80.00 bucks a book.

    Thanks for your reply. I was able to find help through a tech support chat session and the person helped me edit my /etc/hosts file and it solved the problem.
    For anyone else experiencing this issue (Mac OS X):
    Close all other programs and sign out from the Adobe Desktop App
    From the Finder, Go > Go to Folder...
    Type /etc and hit enter
    Find "hosts" file (only "hosts", there were similar files such as hosts.config but only open the one that says "hosts"
    Open the file, and replace the entire content with ### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface#
    Close the file, sign back into the Adobe Desktop App
    Problem solved!

  • A question concerning CREATIVE SUITE 5.5 DESIGN PREMIUM

    I'll start by saying that at 77, I struggle with this technology. Back in 2011 while studying fine art, I bought this program which, in the event, I barely used. Since then, the program appears to have been uninstalled. I have the disc and serial number so tried to reinstall it, but am mostly bamboozled by the instructions, and when, at the end of the process, I was invited to sign up for a thirty-day trial, I gave up. I want to use it to make digital drawings and paintings, and for photoshop. I'm wondering whether the program had a time limit. I'll be grateful for any advice. Thanks,
    Ivan

    Ivan did you enter the serial number which you obtained when you purchased Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium?  You can locate you registered serial numbers under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.   You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • Fonts bundled with Creative Suite 2 (and individual CS2 products)

    The attached PDF lists all the fonts bundled with Creative Suite 2 and the individual CS2 applications.
    Enjoy!

    We had somebody spend a few hours looking into this. He found that on Windows only, if Bickham Script Pro and/or Warnock Pro is deleted after install, further installs won't get them back. It seems only a complete uninstall and then reinstall gets them back.
    Sorry for the delay in posting this. I lost track of the thread....
    DETAILS
    I did some playing around with the CS2 installer and found something interesting that might be related to some customers not finding Bickham Script Pro or Warnock Pro.
    On both the Macintosh and Windows platform, using the Suite installer to install even one app from the Suite (e.g., GoLive) installed Bickham and Warnock--no surprise.
    On the Macintosh, if I manually deleted those fonts files from the Application Support: Adobe: Fonts folder, then used the Creative Suite installer to install another application from the Suite (e.g., Photoshop), those fonts got reinstalled--again, pretty much as I would have expected.
    On the Windows side, however, if I manually deleted those font files from the Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder, then installed another app (e.g., Photoshop), the fonts DID NOT get reinstalled.
    Even more interesting, if I manually deleted the entire Fonts folder from Program Files\Common Files\Adobe, then used the Creative Suite installer to install an application from the Suite (e.g., I removed Photoshop, deleted the Fonts Folder, then reinstalled Photoshop) the Fonts folder got reinstalled as did the reqd folder inside of it (and the contents of the reqd folder) but Bickham Script and Warnock Pro were NOT reinstalled.
    On a fresh machine, I tried using the Suite installer to install only Photoshop from the Suite, just to make sure it actually installs Bickham and Warnock, and it does. I then removed Bickham and Warnock and installed GoLive with the Suite installer--still no Bickham or Warnock. Then I installed Acrobat with the Suite installer--still no Bickham or Warnock.
    If I use Add/Remove to completely remove ALL Creative Suite applications and support files and preferences, then reinstall an app, I DO get Warnock and Bickham.
    His theory: On the Windows platform, if customers are removing those fonts, or for whatever reason they don't get installed in the first place (though I couldn't reproduce a problem here), they may not get the fonts unless they do a full removal of the entire Creative Suite package (all applications) before reinstalling.

  • Can I purchase Creative Suite 5?

    I agree) Such cases must be totally controlled by company. Company offer absolutely to everyone dowload links and serial numbers for CS2 software. Millions of users spent their own time to download this stuff. Now CS2 is free. It's good.
    But i prefer to buy CS5 (Photoshop, for individual use) from trusted source, instead of sh#ted CS6. Adobe, make a special offer to me, instead of you worst Photoshop ever (CS6 at your market). Why i cant buy old version? It's better for a lot of professional users.

    I have branched this out to a separate discussion.  -=realsam=- we are not able to offer retail copies of Creative Suite 5 any longer as Creative Suite 6 is our current product offering.  If you do have a need for Creative Suite 5 then you are welcome to purchase a volume license and request a backwards license to Creative Suite 5.  In effect this will allow us to convert your Creative Suite 6 license to a Creative Suite 5 license.
    Because of the complexity of this type of transaction I would recommend you work directly with our Volume Licensing team.  You should be able to find the contact information for your country/region at http://www.adobe.com/.  Also when working with the Volume Licensing team please reference document kb401582 to help ensure they are familiar with the process you are requesting.

  • Creative Suite Design Premium - Flash Builder Upgrade

    Hi, I bought the Design Premium product last week and I'm keen to investigate mobile development side of things (we develop Mobile Apps at YARG) but it looks like you need Flash Builder, which you don't get with Design Premium.  I'm new to the Adobe development side of things and a little confused.  With the Flash Professional it says we can build iOS for Air?  What's the main difference between Flash Builder and Flash Professional, is Flash Builder for of a development IDE or can I still build Mobile Apps with Flash Professional?   If you already have the a creative suite can you purchase extra products (like Flash Builder) at a discounted rate - probably no.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    In the Suites, Flash Builder is in Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium version (NOT Design Premium) or the Master Collection. (I'm not sure whether it's too late to do an exchange: You'd have to call Customer Service.)
    As for your other question, it like a better question for the Flash forums than you'll get here.

  • Creative Suite Installation problem

    I lost my original Dreamweaver 8 during OS change to Vista - I successfuly downloaded the 3  Disc Creative Suite to my desktop. Right clicked "Run As Administrator"  to begin the download to my C:\Program Files
    After  Disc 1 is complete, the installer stops and asks to insert Disc 2 to  continue. After I right click "run" again for Disc 2, disc 2 does not  continue the installation, but I am asked to install it in another  folder.
    Any idea how to continue this installation properly?
    I read the install notes but could not find a solution.

  • Reinstallation of Creative Suite

    Hi,
    I'm Brian Poulsen, I downloaded the Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard 6.0 product for Mac on June 21, 2012. I recently had to get my hard drive wiped clean and now need to uninstall and reinstall the Creative Suite package. I had my old hard drive backed up to and external hard drive and transferred everything back over so the programs still show up but I can't use them. Please help me get my programs back up and running, I am still registered and have my serial number.
    Thanks

    I have a question : Someone want sell me Creative Suite 6 MAster Collection, He is gave me the key and want me to fill in the transfer document from adobe? If I accept and pay him for this do I be eligble to use this software in company ? He is offering me full version of the product. How Can I check it ?

    There is no reason to do that. You can buy a legitimate copy of the product from Adobe.
    If the price is too good to be true, it's too good to be true. Caveat emptor.

  • If I buy creative suite cs5 web premium for students, I will still may install it in, a mac desktop

    If I buy creative suite cs5 web premium for students, I will still may install it in, a mac desktop and windows laptop same license?

    Not sure where you're getting this idea from but it doesn't matter how you purchase the software (Suite or standalone) the answer is still, no.
    One license, one platform (Mac or Win)
    Mac software works on Mac only.
    Win software works on Win only.
    From the End User License Agreement (EULA)
    2.11 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. You
    must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of
    example, if you desire to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms
    on a device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then you must first obtain two
    separate licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a
    different operating system platform, are delivered to you on the same media.
    From your repeated questions on this topic, does it mean that you have a Mac desktop and a Win laptop and you're trying the find the cheapest route to get DW and Flash Builder on both?
