Satellite pro s300m - Upgrade from XP Pro to Vista Business

Hello All
I bought a new Satellite Pro S300m Ez2401 and it came with Vista business and i downgraded it to XP Pro using the XP Pro media that accompanied the Laptop.
If i want to upgrade it to Vista business, How do i do it? I did not create a recovery Media when i switched on the system the first time and Vista Business came up.
Would the preinstalled Vista Business be in the Hard Disk and can i upgrade it from there?If so, would it also have the drivers along with it?
How many Intel WiFi 5100 AGN antennas does my laptop have?
Thank you.
Jay
Solved!

Jay,
To find out whether or not your recovery partition is still intact, shut down the system (not in Stand By or Hibernate mode). Then press and hold down the '0' (zero) key while turning the system on. It will boot into a recovery menu if that partition is intact.
You won't be able to upgrade to Vista Business, and by that I mean that you cannot retain your data and programs. But you can return the laptop to the factory condition with a fresh installation of Vista Business.
So you'll end up with exactly what you had when you first took it out of the box and turned it on, including an appropriate set of drivers. Before running the recovery process, you'll want to backup all data you want to keep, and when recovery is complete you'll need to reinstall any software.
If holding down '0' while turning the system on does not result in a recovery menu then you can call Customer Service (800-457-7777) to order a set of recovery media for a nominal fee.

Acrobat X Pro Mac upgrade from 9 Pro Ex PC

I had been running Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on my PC and when I recently went back to a Mac, Adobe sales said I could just buy an upgrade and enter my old serial number and it'd all be good. Doesn't like my old serial number as it wants a Pro version from the Mac for a serial number to upgrade from. In need of getting this working ASAP and have been on ignore with tech support for the past 30 minutes after being told it would be a 3-6 minute wait. What do I do?

Error 0x8007000E-0x2000C in upgrade from 7 pro to 8.1 pro

Issue with error on upgrade from 7 pro to 8.1 pro of error 0x8007000E-0x2000C. I have tried the install several times and this error returns every time.

Hi,
First, we need check the system requirements for Window 8.1:
System requirements
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/system-requirements
Or, you can firstly run upgrade assistant tool to help you determine if you are able to install Windows 8.1.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/upgrade-from-windows-7-tutorial
if all things have been done, we can collect the following logs, maybe we can find something about this failure:

Where can i find the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2?

Hello there.
Is the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2 still available out there somewhere? I know I'm a bit behind the rest of the world but financially I'm taking the 'do the best with what you can' route!
Never used logic before, moving up from garageband and cubase sx cos everyone says it's a better program.
Many thanks,
GDx

Hi
If I remember correctly, the 7.2 update was a "Paid for" update, with a new dvd.... so you are most likely out of luck.
The good news is that Logic Pro is pretty cheap on the Appstore

How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

There is no update, you have to purchase Logic 9 from the App Store, it's $199, which is close to the price of an update.
Warning, if you do purchase Logic 9 from the App store it will download 2GB of additional patches/sounds/loops...etc. This is for first time buyers so their App Store Logic will have some basics to work with before trying to download the additional 20+GB of loop/instrument data. If you have a full installtion of Logic 8 it's possible the 2GB of data Logic initially downloads will mess with the instruments and sounds you've been using, past projects may not load properly. Just something to be aware of.

What do i do?

CS5 upgrade from premiere pro 1.5

Is it possible to upgrade from premiere pro 1.5 to CS5?

1st, CS5 is no longer sold, but you may still buy CS6 standalone, or a monthly subscription to CC on the Cloud
http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?promoid=KFPMZ
2nd, even if CS5 was still being sold, Adobe only offers upgrade pricing for one or two versions, so 1.5 would be FAR too old to qualify
-but, as I said above, you have not been able to buy CS5 for a long time, 3 or 4 years
If you are asking will CS5 upen a version 1.5 project file... not likely... too many changes between versions
If you have version 1.5 and can't get it to activate, read below for a special version 2 that you may use
CS2 (and earlier) Activation Server http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

Can't figure out which upgrade (from 7 Pro) is smartest: 9 Pro? or X Pro?

Can't figure out which upgrade (from 7 Pro) is smartest: 9 Pro? or X Pro?
Should I just ignore the nay-sayers and go ahead with X Pro?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to bring me up to speed.

I've taken a break from book design, layout, and publishing since finishing 10 books 2 years ago (Kalavinkapress.org). But now I'm back into the thick of it with a another flock of long-doc books in my lap.
Result, I'm now faced with upgrading my IDCS3 & Acrobat 7 Pro. (I'm still OK with my P-shop & Illustrator versions), but am utterly clueless about the advisability of Acro X Pro over the still-available Acro 9 Pro. (I've seen some fairly loud squeaking about X Pro problems.)

It depends a bit on what you're going to use it for. I do mostly forms work and have both versions, but do most of my work with Acrobat 9, and even use Acrobat 7 for some things. There are some initial bugs with Acrobat 10 that need to be worked out, but I'd probably recommend it for most folks.

Upgrading from Adobe Pro 8 to XI

While upgrading from Adobe Pro 8 to XI it asks if I want to "Deactivate EPIC_APP_118". What is it and should I?

Looking through the forums, it appears that error message is related to a Zenworks Licensing Manager System. If you are installing in a enterprise environment, you might want to check with your IT people before you mess with uninstalling and installing new software.

Can i upgrade from Logic PRO 7 to Logic express 9 (upgrade version)?

Hello
I was about to upgrade from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio 9 when i noticed that all the fetures i need are actually now in cheaper Logic Express 9.
So would it be possible to upgrade to Logic Express 9 from Logic Pro 7? or will it only upgrade from older versions of Logic Express?
Many thanks
Tom

Hi,
guess that's not possible. But i strongly recommend upgrading your Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. It's not that much more money, but i bet once you have the new Express version, you'll desperately miss some of the features you only have with Logic Pro/Studio.
I would recommend to call apple support or ask a dealer to find the correct upgrade version.

I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

Can I use the Tiger install disk (10.4.6) that came with my MacBook Pro to upgrade from 10.3.9 on my Powerbook to 10.4.6 on my Powerbook?

You're welcome.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple &likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

I originally purchased 8 pro then upgraded to 9 pro, so can i now upgrade to xi pro?

I purchased originally adobe 8 pro then upgrade to adobe pro 9 - can i therefore another upgrade to take me up to adobe XI pro or is one upgrade too many?

You can purchase an upgrade from AA9 to AAXI. Also note that AA8 does not qualify for an upgrade to AAXI. Bottom line, get out the checkbook.

Upgrading from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI R3

Hi Guys,
I am upgrading from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI R3. The server which have Crystal Enterprise 10 is not on the network, please let me know to copy CMS database from CRE10 (Not on the network) to BOXIR3.
Burhan
Thanks

you will need access to the CMS DB and FRS from CE10 in order to migrate to XI 3.x, typically this is accomplished via network. If you can restore them to the same computer a side by side (install CE10 and XI 3.x on the same server) may work as well.
Regards,
Tim
