Should I uninstall CS5.5 for CS6?

I would like to know if I should uninstall my CS5.5 master collection before I install CS6 master collection. I was thinking i might not want to because there are programs such as Flash Catalyst that are in 5.5 but not 6, but I am not sure what to do.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, but is there anything in 5.5 that i might want because it isn't in 6, or is 5.5 basically just taking up space on my hard drive?

Can't uninstall CS5 or CS6.

Hi,
I'm having a problem when I try to uninstall CS5 and CS6 suites on my iMac.
I installed CS5 suite like six months ago, then, two weeks ago I installed CS6, but before I uninstalled some components from the CS5 suite. Just remains Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
I installed CS6 and all good, then, I had some problems with Encore CS6 so I found a post that says that I should use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. I did use it, all good.
Today I'm having a second problem with links between Encore CS6 and Photoshop CS6, so I tought it could be because of Photoshop CS5 installed in the same Application folder. So I decided to uninstall that application, but, I can't.
I can't uninstall any Adobe application from my iMac, I click on any 'Uninstall X application' and just appears this error: "The alias "UNINSTALL X ADOBE APPLICATION" can't be opened because the original item can't be found." The uninstaller just dissapeared for both Suites and I need to uninstall them.
Can you help me community?
Where can I get the Uninstaller for Adobe applications?
Thanks.

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall.

When I downloaded CC, I uninstalled CS5 and CS6, now I cannot open my older psd

When I downloaded CC, I uninstalled CS5 and CS6, now I cannot open my older psd photos, has anyone else had this problem...

Your info is at best vague. PSD files are compatible across versions on a very broad level, so whatever problem you have may be very specific. You have not provided any relevant technical info about your system or your files, so nobody can say anything specific, though.

Should I uninstall CS5.5 before I start downloading CC apps?

I have CS5.5, but just purchased CC.
I was wondering is it recommended to uninstall CS5.5 before I start with Creative Cloud???
thanks

There is neither a recommendation nor is it a technical requirement. In particular ifd you use specific plug-ins or otehr stuff like olde scanners and printers that may not be compatible with CC or for which you don't have the money to upgrade, you might consider keeping CS5.5 around... Otherwise feeel free to remove it.

I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly. I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications. You should install them.
As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

Do I uninstall CS5 & CS6 before downloading CC?

I have Master Creative Suite CS5 (disk) installed on my iMAC running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Some time ago I subscribed to Creative Cloud and installed CS6. Major computer problem caused me to have to wipe the hard drive and restore from the backup disk. My last backup was September last year which was before I installed the Creative Cloud CC apps. I would like to install the CC apps. Do I uninstall both the CS5 and CS6 apps first? At this point neither of the CS5 or CS6 apps have been updated.

Hi Stormy_Weather,
It would be best to uninstall CS5 and CS6 before installing Creative Cloud applications as the previous versions are restored from a backup which might cause issues.

Akshay

Uninstalling CS5

Not to long ago I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 I need more space on my computer and was wondering if I can remove CS5? Would this mess up CS6 if I did this? I have a copy of CS5 at home but I upgraded CS6 online, so I have no idea where to find CS6 if I need to recover it. Should I just keep both of them on my computer?

Hello,
rcraighead thank you for getting back to me....Sorry I didn't add hat I was afraid if I uninstall CS5 that CS6 will be messed up and I would have no way to recover CS6 since i downloaded it online.
Do you think its better just to add space? I don't have the money right now for that, but I can do it in the future.
@Larry G. Schneider...Where would that folder be at? I know if I do decide to remove CS5 I need to deactivate it.

Should I uninstall PSCS5

Just became a Creative Cloud member and installed PSCS6. Now I have both CS6 and CS5 on my computer. Should I uninstall CS5?

There is no need to uninstall CS5, but it will not affect the performance of CS6 if you keep it.

CS5 for Mac

Premiere became corrupted so I reinstalled it. The reinstall erased photoshop and illustrator. What do I need to do? Should I uninstall CS5 and do a complete reinstall? Can I just reload Photoshop and Illustrator from the disc? Do I have to delete their folders before the reinstall?

Run teh Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, reinstall everything.

CS5 Premium Bundle 50% off or should I wait for CS6?

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium going for $849... half off the asking price?
Is it worth it to purchase or should i wait for CS6?

Whether or not to buy RIGHT NOW depends on a couple of things:
1. Do you NEED the software now, or can you wait about 2 1/2 months for CS6 to ship?
2. Are you upgrading from a very old version or starting out fresh with Adobe Creative Suite?
Another thing to consider is whether or not you're interested in the Adobe Creative Cloud, which is a current service offering but will be coming into full effect with CS6. It will be a subscription service but it looks like it will be an incredible value for the user who typically upgrades with each version and uses the software on a near-daily basis.
If you need/want a box software and don't plan to upgrade again for a long time, then perhaps buying CS5.5 right now while it's 1/2 off is a good deal for you. You might also want to wait until March 1st, because Adobe has a 30 day return policy and you may want/need to consider that as an option if a bunch of new buzz builds about CS6. Also, sometimes early March has been a cutoff date for free upgrades to the next version when it's released in April (again, this is based on past scenarios...no one will be able to guarantee anything about these considerations).
I typically upgrade for each full version, which has run me about $500-$700 on average each time (from CS2 to CS3, then CS4 and now CS5). I did not upgrade to CS5.5 because I didn't really need to, so my cost for CS5 has been about $25 per month for the past 2 years (but without an upgrade to CS5.5). The Creative Cloud, which is slated to start at $49 (whatever that means), looks to include a LOT more stuff and be a reasonable option for my type of usage, so I'm waiting to see how that turns out.

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.

InDesign/InCopy CS5.5 or wait for CS6

We are currently an InDesign/InCopy workflow for our City quarterly magazine. I have InDesign on the Mac and there are 7 InCopy stations on PC's. I currently have CS5 for InDesign but have not upgraded the InCopy users yet so for the publication we are using CS4. We are looking at upgrading everyone now to CS5.5 but with CS6 on the horizon (and all the new epublication capabilities),I am wondering if it would be wise to just wait for CS6 at this point. We won't be able to upgrade for a couple more years after we do.
Any comments?
Thank you,
Holly

Ugh. I'm afraid I need to revise my remarks a bit:
It's a bit tough to find the pricing details on the web, but call an Adobe volume licesning reseller and I'm sure they'll be happy to quote it for you.
I was fooled by the nonfunctionality of the Discount calculator if you choose MultiNorthAmerican Language instead of Universal English. I turns out the rates are the same as at the Adobe Business Store.
And I guess it's not-so-good for you. $119 for a CS5.5 InDesign upgrade, and $210 for 2 years of maintenance. $89 each for the InCopy upgrades, and $76 for 2 years of maintenence. So extended out for 1 InDesign and 7 InCopy, that's $1484. Coincidently that's $742 for the upgrades and $742 for for the Update plan (how do they do that)?
But the kicker is, of course, if you had bought the upgrade plans at the same time as you bought the products, then you wouldn't be paying for the upgrade plans now. But of course, they only last 2 years...
But we've heard that Adobe is moving to a 12-month release cycle, so you theoretically expect to get two version for that $742 Update plan (CS6 and then the next one, be it CS7 or CS6.5 or whatever). Except you're inelligable to buy it today, since you don't have CS5.5.
So, umm, where does this leave you? I don't know. I guess I'm a fan of keeping current, because everything changes and you never know what you'll need. But the question is whether CS5.5 is worth it to you. So download the trial and see.
But if you upgrade to CS5.5, you should buy the maintenance. CS5.5 came out in April/May of 2011, so CS6 should come out around the same time, if everything works "acording to plan." So if you buy the maintenance in, say, February, then you'll get CS6 for the same price you paid for CS5.5, as well as the version that comes after it, asuming Adobe sticks to the same timetable.
Ugh. Maybe you should think about the subscription model, I don't know. Or increasing the number of seats so you make it over the TLP point restrictions and up to some actual discounted levels.

Should I uninstall the Old CS5.5?

I installed upgrade of CS6 Web Premium, but still have dreamweaver CS5.5 and other programs present. Should I uninstall the old programs??

If you want to.
I would hold onto 5.5 personally, as a "just in case 6 causes any problems" type of thing.

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before loading CS6?

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before loading CS6? I purchased the full version of CS6.

Hi pamelakirkpatrick ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You dont need to uninstall existing version to install new version.
You might consider wiping the existing version if you no longer use it as storing multiple versions can occupy a lot of hard disk space.
Please reply for any assistance.
Thanks

Difficulty finding downloaded CS6 (upgraded to CS5) for Win after following all recommended steps

Hi there - would appreciate a hand on what I am sure is a very basic request - I purchased upgrade CS5 to CS6 online about 3 days ago and signed in and located my order, clicked on it and proceeded to what I thought was 'download', waited for it to download and then the download window disappeared and I thought it would pop up with 'Run' or similar but nothing happens. This has happened 3 times. I have been using the Akamai net session - I checked in my downloads file each time and there is nothing there. My order and serial number now appear in the Downloads section of my account at Adobe so that apparently means it is downloaded but I can't find anything! Thanks folks
I basically followed the steps suggested by this helpful forum note (which replicates what was in the email the Adobe Store sent me:
Q: I can't find the product I downloaded, where is it?
A: The following steps will help locate your software for download:
Go to Adobe.com.
Click Sign In (in the upper right corner).
Enter your Adobe ID and password, and then click Sign In.
Click My Orders and then Order History.
Locate the order number, and click the Download link in the Downloads column.
Start the download by choosing one of the following:
Click Download and follow the onscreen instructions.
Click Akamai Download Manager and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you prefer downloading directly in a browser, click Alternate Download Method. Then click the .7z and .exe files (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) to download the software to your computer.

Hi seanlark,
Please find the below document which should be helpful to locate the download link from your Adobe account:
Find a download link on Adobe.com
If you still face issue in locating the Download link from your Account then you can download your CS6 from the below link:

Then use the serial number to activate your product.
Thank you.
