Should I remove CS4 after installing CS6?

I upgraded to CS6, yet my CS4 programs are still on my computer. Do I need to manually delete them? And if yes, will all my files created with CS4 remain functional on my computer with the CS6 update?

When you upgrade you do not affect any previous installations... upgrades install/run independtly of the applications they are upgrading.   It is not a requirement to delete older version when you upgrade to new versions, but it is better to uninstall them before installing the new version if you intend to uninstall them.
As far as CS4 versions of files versus the upgraded software, yes, the older files should be able to be opened and edited by the CS6 version, though you may not be able to save the files as CS4 versions if changes are made that you wish to retain.

  • Remove CS4 after installing CS5

    Hi...
    Just bought CS5 Design Premium upgrade (from CS4). While waiting for CS5 to arrive, I downloaded the trial version of CS4. This did NOT overwrite CS4. When I receive CS5, I plan on just putting the serial number in the trial version. That will leave CS4 on my computer.
    2 questions...
    1. Can I delete CS4 (after installing CS5) using add/remove without messing up the CS5 installation?
    2. If I remove the trial version and install CS5 when I receive it, will it automatically remove/overwrite CS4?
    Thanks for your help...

    1. Yes, but there's no good reason to do so.
    2. No, the trial is identical to purchased version. Just enter your serial number and you should be good to go.

  • Can I reinstall cs4 after installing cs6

    I installed my new copy of CS6 on my new iMac. Subsequently I realised that I need my original copy of CS4 to run alongside on the same mac. When I try to install the original CS4 it rejects both serial numbers - the original CS4 serial and the new CS6 serial number. Is it possible to do this or will I need to uninstall CS6 and start again?

    Uninstall CS6, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, then reinstall in proper order - CS4 first, then CS6.

  • Is it safe to remove Photoshop CS5 after installing CS6??

    Is it safe to remove Photoshop CS5 after installing CS6??

    It is safer to remove it before installing CS6.  There can be some shared elements and/or settings that might be compromised if you install CS6 while CS5 is installed and then remove CS5.

  • Do I need to uninstall CS4 before installing CS6

    Hello
    I'm looking at upgrading from CS4 to CS6.  Is it best practice to remove CS4 first?  My concern is all work created in CS4 may have computability issues with CS6 and perhaps keeping CS4 around isn't a bad idea as a safety net...

    It is not a requirement to uninstall CS4 when installing CS6.  As far as upograding from CS4 to CS6 goes you should doublecheck if that is possible.  For products that I am aware of there is no longer an upgrade path from CS4 to CS6, only CS5+.

  • After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5?  If so, how do I do it?

    After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5?  If so, how do I do it?

    This comes up repeatedly, so you may want to do a forum search.
    In a nutshell:
    If you wanted to remove CS5, you should have done so before installing CS6.  The CS5 uninstaller is very likely to mess with and destroy the CS6 installation.
    Your best bet now is to use the CS6 uninstaller and uninstall CS6 first, then use the CS5 uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then run the Adobe CSClean script (downloadable from the Adobe site), and finally install CS6 again.
    All adobe updaters are FULL installers and do not need a previously installed version to work.  When they don't find a prior version installed, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.

  • Freehand import of CS5 broken after installing CS6

    Hello,
    on my windows 7 machine my freehand import of Illustrator CS5 and CS4 is broken after installing cs6 creative cloud.
    I can still select a freehand file to open and the dialog box appears, but after choosing OK nothing happens. No file opens and no error appears. It doesn´t depend on the freehand file because my other machine with CS3 can still open these files.
    What can i do  to repair illustrator? - it´s part of a master collection install.
    Siegfried Baldauf

    Adobe has dropped support for Freehand import in CS6. You will have to either use an older version of AI and then save it to AI or open them in Freehand and then export to a format that AI can import.
    open the Open file Dialog and see the files that illustrator CS6 can open. Here is the list of supported files that AI CS6 can open

  • Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?

    Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?

    Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?
    Why would you want to do that? You paid for it, and Photos cannot do everything that iPhoto can, for example add location data to photos or batch changing the titles. Don't trash iPhoto, before you have explored your migrated photos library thoroughly and are sure, that all photos migrated correctly, and before you have tested all features of the new Photos and are sure, that there are no hidden bugs on your system, that would require reverting to iPhoto until the bugs are fixed.  And even if you, be sure, to keep a backup of iPhoto and your iPhoto library - best make a bootable clone of your system. Better be safe than sorry.

  • Should cs5 be uninstalled after install of cs6

    1. cs6 does not recognizes but will not run 3d party plugins that worked on cs5/64
    2. should cs5 be uninstalled after upgrade to cs6

    Not sure what you are asking. Simply keep your CS5 around until vendors provide updates to whatever plug-ins you may be using. Feel free to uninstall later, but in light of potential compatibility issues you might still keep it around for a while, especially if you exchange files with other people who may not yet have upgraded...

  • Acrobat Pro X "quits unexpectedly" after installing CS6

    Hello. I just installed CS6 and all applications are working except for Acrobat Pro X. I have already tried and retried the deactiviation/reactiviation fix that everyone is recommending, have rebooted, have reinstalled the entire Suite, and various other attempts that DID NOT WORK in my case. I use this software for my livelihood and am losing income due to this issue. It needs to be resolved immediately. I was previously running CS4, and trashed a recommended list of items to remove that version from my machine, and now I'm thinking that a required file may have been deleted accidentally during that process. I do have a backup of my entire machine, so still have those deleted files . . . can a list of files that should exist in various locations be provided so that I can try restoring them in case this is the issue? Please help. (Mac OS X 10.6.8)

    This suggestion worked! It took awhile to uninstall CS6, restart, run the Cleaner Tool, restart, reinstall CS6, but Acrobat Pro X is now working. THANK YOU so much for the super speedy response and excellent suggestion. You're a lifesaver, much appreciated.
