Shipping CS4 Production Premium from US to Australia

Hi All,
I'm new here, so my appologies if there is somewhere else I should be posting this question.
I want to purchase the CS4 Production Premium (full version, not upgrade). However the Australian pricing is really not good. The lowest price I can find here is $2232.
Amazon lists it for $1494, which even when converted to Australian dollars is very reasonable.
My question is, are there any legal or technical issues with shipping this product from the US to Australia? Are there any differences between the versions for the different countries? Would the license still be valid here? I expect I probably can't get a warranty if I do it this way, but I can live with that, to save nearly around $800 on the purchase price.
Thanks,
Eugene

Incidentally I'm not trying to do anything dodgy here. I want everything to be legit, I just can't see the point in paying so much more, just to get the software from a local retailer.

  • Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

    Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
    My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
    I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
    I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

    Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

  • When would be good time for me to upgrade from CS4 production premium to Master Collection 5.5/6?

    Hello Adobers.
    I have CS4 Production Premium but I need Indesign so was thinking of upgrading to Master collection. It seems like Master collection 6 will be out early next year? So I am confused about when would be the best time to upgrade from $$$ saving point of view?
    So should I upgrade from....
    a) - CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 5.5 now and then  > to Master collection 6 later
    or
    b) CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 6 directly
    or
    c) - CS4 Production Premium > to  Master collection 5.5 now and forget about version 6.
    I assume option c) would be cheapest. Which will be cheaper out of a) and b) ?
    Thank you for advice.

    Adobe has made no announcement about CS6. The best time to buy anything is when you need it.
    Here's a link to the MC upsell from CS4 PP: http://amzn.to/tvwPq5

  • Please Help Me -- CS4 Design Premium and CS4 Production Premium on Same Machine

    We are a non-profit organization that gets donated software at a great price but you're limited to what's available. We bought the CS4 Design Premium Suite last year (CDs). I called the Adobe sales department to find out if I could run CS4 Design Premium on the same machine. They told me that I could. So I bought CS4 Design Premium as a download. It took a tremendous amount of time just to download the package, and once installed Premiere Pro would not run properly. I called tech support and spent 9+ hours on the phone and no resolution. They had me doing everything -- uninstalled both packages six times. They kept telling me I didn't have enough RAM (and I knew that was wrong because I have been editing using AVID before deciding to go with Adobe -- and I had the CS3 Adobe Premiere Pro, Soundbooth and Encore running on my E drive with no problem before I went ahead and bought CS4 Production Premium).
    I took my computer back to the company that built it and they suggested that I replace my graphics card and sure enough, Premiere Pro worked fine. Everything seemed to work fine in both packages except Adobe Acrobat. When I opened a pdf file, Acrobat asked for a serial number, but wouldn't accept my Design Premium serial number. I called tech support thinking they would give me a different serial number for Acrobat or something simple. Needless to say after 3 hours, and uninstalling the software again, they told me I couldn't run two CS4 suites on the same computer. Then a supervisor told me I could run both suites, but I would need to run a cleanup program, uninstall both of my suites and start again!
    All software in CS4 Design Premium installs except Acrobat. It is grayed out on the install screen as if it's already installed, and when I try to open a pdf file, the installer pops up, installs Acrobat, and asks for a serial number. When I enter the serial number, it gives me a red "x".
    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!
    I don't know where to turn now ... is there anybody in the United States that I can get help from?
    Can Adobe deactivate my CS4 Design Premium and Production Premium and send me the Master Collection CS4?
    Please help me if you can!

  • CS5 Production Premium causing problems with CS4 Production Premium

    I have been using CS5 Production Premium alongside CS4 Production Premium for a while now.  After Effects, PhotoShop & Illustrator work alright together (both CS4 & CS5 versions).  My job actually necessitates me keeping both versions on my machine.
    I had need to use both Premiere Pro CS4 and Encore CS4, and neither of the applications would initialize.  The following is the error message from clicking the Premiere Pro CS4 application file.
    I am uncertain what the application event log is or where it is located.
    Over on Creative Cow's site, I posted a similar message in the forums, in which a user stated that I should not have CS4 and CS5 on the same partition of my drive.
    I do have a secondary internal hard drive on which I could install one of the suites, however, I want to make sure that it is done properly and efficiently.  I have seen some issues with uninstalling CS4 after installing CS5, so I wanted to ask for help before I simply begin to rip software off my PC (since After Effects and PhotoShop - which work - actually comprise 95% of my Adobe workload).
    Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.  Also, which version (CS4 or CS5) would be better suited on the secondary drive?
    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

  • Upgrade CS4 Production Premium to CS5 Web Premium?

    I need to get Adobe Dreamweaver for some web work. Rather than spend $399 for DW, I thought I would spend $599 for the upgrade from CS4 Production Premium to CS5 Web Premium... These suites hace a several programs in common but the thing is, I still need to use Encore and the Media Encoder that only exist in Production Premium. After I install the CS5 Web Premium, will I be able to still use (officially or un-officially) a few of my CS4 Production Premium applications on the same system?
    Thanks...

  • Installing CS4 production premium on new imac

    I purchased CS4 Production Premium back in 2009 and am trying to install it on my new iMac. I haven't installed it on another computer and was hoping to do so on this one. From what I've read online I need to use my install discs, but since the new iMacs have no cd drive, this presents a problem. What do I do?

    Ahh, I see. I have heard that After Effects, Premiere, and Soundbooth don't work. And I switched to production premium from design premium because of after effects....
    Anyway, perhaps I'll go ahead and try installing it.
    Thank so much!

  • I just downloaded a registered copy CS4 Production Premium. I started the install. Entered the serial number

    I just downloaded a registered copy CS4 Production Premium. I started the install. Entered the serial number and Select "I have a SN...". On the next page the installer thinks I am upgrading and wants the "old" application & it's SN. What do I do now?

    WkgrayCS4 you will want to enter the serial number for the version you are upgrading from.  You can find your registered serial numbers at http://www.adobe.com/.  Please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html for more details on how to locate your previous version serial number.

  • TROUBLE RE-INSTALLING CS4 PRODUCTION PREMIUM

    I was having trouble exporting videos from CS4 Premiere through Encoureso I attempted to reinstall the program disk for CS4 Prouction Premium.  I ran into several errors so I attempted to uninstall all of the programs and was unable to uninstall - yet I was also unable to open any of the programs. After contacting Adobe I was directed to use CC cleaner to uninstall the programs.  Since then I have been unable to reinstall the CS4 Production Premium Suite from the disc.  I get the following error: "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue.  Contact Adove Customer Supoprt for assistance."  I have been unable to contact customer support.  Not sure how I am to proceed with re-installing my programs.

  • Upgrading CS4 Production Premium to CS6 Production Premium

    I have CS4 Production Premium installed and own a license for an upgrade to CS5.5 PP.  I just purchased CS6 PP as an upgrade to CS5.5 PP.  Can I install CS6 PP without having to install CS5.5 PP?

    Yes, the only thing you should need from CS5.5 is the serial number so that you can confirm you meet the upgrade elgibility requirement when you are activating CS6.

  • Adobe CS5  Production Premium vs. Adobe CS4 Production Premium

    Hello:
    I am currently a worker at a production studio and we are thinking about upgrading our system Adobe CS3 Production Premium to either Adobe CS4 Production Premium or Adobe CS5  Production Premium.  Our company was at NAB convention in Las Vegas this year and were convinced that Adobe CS5 Production Premium was the way to go.  However we come to find (after purchace) that Adobe CS5 Production Premium only runs on (and correct me if Im wrong) 64 bit.  Now stuck with a system we cant use on our vista 32 bit I was wondering what are the beneifits between the two and if CS5 is really that great is it worth while to upgrade my computer systems.  I am sure I am not the only one to have run into this problem.  Any input or advice would be great.
    Sincerely,
    Really Confused

    Look HERE for a quick summary of the new features in After Effects. I can personally attest to the power of the new rotobrush. If you do that kind of work, it will save you a ton of time. Rendering times are considerably faster and being able to RAM preview a 30 or 40 second clip all the way through at full res is finally a reality.
    Look HERE for a summary of the new features in Premiere Pro. The major improvement here, in my opinion, is the ability to preview a multi-layer timeline with several effects in real time at full res without rendering.
    I can't tell you if it's worth it to you to upgrade or not. All I can say is that I'm really happy with it, so far.
