Reinstalling Creative Suite 5.5 on a new HD

My MacBook Pro HD failed and I had the Apple Store install a new HD and they also upgraded my OS to Yosemite. I'm in the process of seeking a data retrieval company to get all of my data off my old HD but in the meantime I want to reinstall CS 5.5 on my new HD. My question is do I need to reinstall my earlier version CS4 before I try installing CS 5.5? Originally my CS 5.5 was a download but I have the backup disks. If the disks don't work (I'm thinking because of Yosemite), will Adobe let me download it again? Help!!! Thanks in advance.

My question is do I need to reinstall my earlier version CS4 before I try installing CS 5.5?
No. Just re-install CS5.5, enter your CS5.5 upgrade serial number then enter your CS4 serial number when prompted for a serial number from an earlier qualifying version.

Am reinstalling creative suite 3 on new windows 7 install from XP and won't activate

I Am reinstalling creative suite 3 on new windows 7 install from XP and it won't activate. Phone number for activation no longer works just directs to website. Any ideas on getting it activated?

Hi management-2,
Welcome to the Adobe Forums,
The best option would be upgarde to the present version as CS3 is not supported by Windows 7

anomaly jade,
You only need to use the serial number during installation.
Have you, at least seemingly, been able to install, and then you are unable to start up?
If that is the case, you could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Anne Marie Bartella please verify the serial number you are using is the same serial number registered with Adobe. For more information please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

Reinstall Creative Suite 4

After wiping my hard drive, I cannot reinstall creative suite from disc. Keeps asking for serial number of my previous version. Unfortunately this number is from version 1, not listed in the choices offered. Do I need to reload 1 and then upgrade with 4, which is the version I have.

You can check to see if you have a qualifying version registered under your Adobe account. You can follow the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968 to view your registered serial numbers.

Can I / how do I transfer my Windows platform Creative Suite 3.3 to my new iMac?

Can I / how do I transfer my Windows platform Creative Suite 3.3 to my new iMac?

You cannot. The license is for Winows only. CS6 can only be changed from Windows to Mac.
You can purchase CS6 Mac, or subscribe to Creative cloud where you will be able to use your products on windows and Mac.

Is Creative Suite 6 compatible with the new Mac OSX Yosemite?

Is Creative Suite 6 compatible with the new Mac OSX Yosemite (MAC OS 10.10)?

Yes/No/perhaps. All depends on the specifics of the system and its configuration. most stuff should work, but of course there always could be compatibility issues.

Got a new motherboard, My Creative Suite thinks it's a new computer. Can't register my serial number, because it can't connect to the internet. Internet works fine. What do I do?

Got a new motherboard after my PC crashed, because my old one was defect. Now my Creative Suite thinks it's a new computer. I can't register my serial number, because it can't connect to the internet, but internet works fine. What do I do? My operating system is windows 7, System is Intel Core i7-4790 / 16 GB RAM

Contact support by web chat to reset activations and refer to this:

How do I reinstall Creative Suite 6 Design Standard on a new computer when the computer repair shop completely destroyed my old computer?

The computer repair shop destroyed my old computer when they attempted to replace the fan. They tell me the motherboard is shot and they are buying me a new computer. I need to know how to reinstall on the new computer the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard Student and Teacher edition that was loaded on the now broken computer.
Thanks!

Hi Jeff
Thanks for getting back to me. I am not sure if you understood my
situation. What I needed was to contact Adobe customer support so that they
could deactivate the CS6 on my broken computer. The problem I had, and you
might want to address this as part of Adobe customer service moving
forward, is that there is no way to contact customer service for issues
with CS6. The only support option allowed on your website is to post a
question in the Forum.
If you follow the link you sent me to Adobe customer service, and believe
me I did, you will be taken to a page that will ask you for some
information about your product first. Once you go thru the series of
questions and windows, you reach a page that tells you that your only
support option is the Forum. It will literally not allow you to initiate a
chat session!
I finally found that their is a small statement at the bottom of the page
from your company president saying that customer service is important to
him and to let him know how Adobe is doing. By clicking on that link I was
able to send an email and within a few hours a customer service rep named,
Sandeep Singh, responded to me and told me that he had increased my
activation count so that I could reload CS6 on my new computer.
Given that the average computer lasts 3 to 6 years and that Adobe products
are quite expensive, their should be some way for your customers to contact
customer service directly without the need to navigate through a system
designed to make it nearly impossible to contact someone. This kind of
support should be available for at least as long as one might reasonably be
expected to use your product, say 5 years.
In contrast to this difficult experience, I also contacted Microsoft
yesterday for help with transferring software from my broken computer to
the replacement. It was extremely easy! I went to their customer service
site answered a few questions and was presented with the option of either
chatting with a rep or having one call me. I chose call and withing 5
minutes someone called me and helped me with my issue. They even sent me an
email confirming the resolution with a case number.
This process has really made me wonder why Adobe has chosen to offer such
limited and deliberately difficult customer service. I hope these comments
can help you address these issues internally so that Adobe can improve its
customer service experience.
Best,
Steve

New PC -issues to reinstall Creative Suites 5

I have a new PC with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10. I am trying to retinstall my Creative Suites 5 Extended Student and Teacher edition. For some reason the error message states my browser is not supported or current. I have my order number and serial number data etc

Tick off that stuff in the right-hand pane of the installer, in particular Flash Player and the aforementioned AIR. It's realyl just the attempt to install Flash Palyer that gets in the way. I believe there's also some hack where you can set a registry key so IE10 appears as IE9/ IE8, but since I don't have a Win8 machine, my knowledge of the specifics at this point is limited to what I read about it and other users tell me. Perhaps a web search might get you on track...

I reinstalled Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium, now when I open a program it says error 213:19

It says there is a problem with the licensing of the program. I reinstalled it on my laptop after it went for repairs and got a new hard drive.

Please refer the KB Docs :

Need help reinstalling Creative Suite 6

I just purchased a new iMac. Apple did a transfer of documents, etc. from my older MacBook Pro.
They told me I may have to reinstall the Creative Suite6. When I try to uninstall what is there (I can open InDesign but not Photoshop or Illustrator) I get a message that tells me to get Application Manager. I do that and nothing happens. I can't find where it has been put to on or in my Mac. And what is the Application Manager supposed to do anyway?
Help?

Ginny,
The apple utility that you are using to backup does not backup Adobe Softwares Fully, Hence you need to Re-Install the products, CS6 can be installed using Adobe Application Manager 6.2 (also called as AAM) if its Subscription based.
Also simply run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and try again.
