Should I uninstall older adobe products before downloading CC?

should I uninstall older adobe products before downloading CC?

It's not necessary. It's your choice.
Most Adobe apps install into separate folders alongside other versions so you can safely have multiple versions installed.
In some cases, features in earlier versions have been dropped in later versions, most famously Photoshop:
Photoshop: Spring Cleaning | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
If you don't use those features then obviously that won't affect you. But it definitely affects some people so they keep earlier versions installed to access those features.

    Hi tmason80,
    No, You dont have to uninstall any of your older Version of Adobe products. You can simply download the latest version of Adobe Applications using Adobe Application Manager.
    You can diwnload Adobe Application Manager from this link.

  • If i install new version of Firefox with standalone installer instead of using built in updater, should i uninstall older version first? Would i lose my datas?

    As part of end of year maintenance program, i clean my computer and update softwares. I'm currently with Firefox 4.0.1, and want to upgrade to 8. However, the built in updater downloads horribly slow and demands the browser to be active. Most of the times it stated failure and asks me to download the installer myself.
    I'm okay with this. Firefox has always be my favorite. But before i do 8.0.1's installation, should i uninstall the old one? Or will it be rewritten automatically? Would i lose my bookmarks and extensions this way?

  • Do i have to uninstall previous firefox version before downloading firefox4 beta

    When ff4 first became avaliable I tried it and had issues with certain sites flash players and mouse cursor issues so I uninstalled and went back to my previous one. I was hoping the bugs would have been worked out by now but after reading through forum I think I will stick with 3.6 a little while longer. But when I decide to upgrade, should I uninstall 3.6 before I download 4, or will wizard upgrade old to new for me?

    You can upgrade Firefox by selecting help > check for updates. No need to uninstall Firefox 3.6.

  • Adobe production premium download

    Hello Adobe,
    I purchased Adobe Production Premium 2 years ago and just got my Mac wiped clean and need to re-download Adobe Production Premium. Everyone says it should be under "My Orders" but it only lists the serial # and no options anywhere what so ever to download it. I also cannot find any of the CS6 products to download, otherwise I would just download them all again individually. I was wondering if anyone could help?
    Thanks so much.

    You can find various downloads available thru the following:

  • Should I uninstall PSE Ver 9 before installing PSE Ver 12 retail pack?

    MY laptop came with PSE Ver 9 preloaded.
    I have bought the discs for PSE Ver 12 ( Photoshop and Premier Elements ) In Amazon.
    Should I uninstall Version 9 using the Program Features Uninstall routine. BEFORE loading Ver 12?

    THanks Barbara
    interested when you say missing features, that can be copied over?
    Is  there any Performance degredation associated with leaving a redundant program there.? Ie will the unused program slow down ver 12? Eg will it clog up shared services etc.
    or more likely, ( after my nightmare trying to load PSE VER 12,  when it had to be uninstalled - it eventually took one of their top technicians 3.5 hours of manual clean up) is there a bigger risk in uninstalling ver 9.
    In light how badly Version 12 uninstalls is this a nightmare too?
    my preference is to go for ultimate performance over a few aextra features.
    I Got more than I need atm lol!

  • Should I uninstall PE8 trial version before instaling PE8 ?

    Just wondering what is  the reccomended way to install PE8 after previously installing the trail version.
    Should I uninstall the trial version and re-install PE8, or just enter my license info to the trial version ?
    I thought the boxed version has some additional templeates etc that are not in the trial version.

    There is nothing in the disc version of the program that is not in the trial download, mk. (Even the extra templates are available as a download.)
    But that said, it certainly wouldn't hurt to uninstall it and install the disc version anyway. Sometimes a re-installation to fix some things that didn't take on the first installation.

  • Have CS 2, 3, 5 and 6 - should I uninstall older versions from my machine?

    I have CS 2, 3, 5 and 6 on an older iMac. A friend told me once to keep the older versions on my machine but it is running so slow. Should I uninstall the previous versions? I refuse to upgrade to the Cloud because I can't afford and I think it's ridiculous it so please do NOT suggest that.

    Older versions have nothing to do with your slowdowns. As long as you don't run them, the programs are dorment and don't consume any resources. whatever issues you have can't be fixed that way, but of course feel free to remove them if you need the disk space.

  • ReInstall of older Adobe products?

    I am contacting you on a blind lark, hoping for direction.  I own Acrobat 9.0 Standard and had my computer, discs, and documentation stolen.  I have been able to retrieve my Serial # through my Adobe account, but Adobe no longer has a site to download the install files on my older versions.  My versions are adequate for my needs, and I can't afford to purchase the latest upgrades as I reconstruct my system.  Is there a site or direction I can look to in finding older install files that Adobe no longer supports?  I also own registered copies of Premiere Pro, Adobe's reference version 4.0, Photoshop 11.0, Encore 1.5, After Effects 6.5, and Audition 1.5.  If I can find the replacement install files, my serial numbers should work.  Purchasing the upgraded replacements for all of these is outside my budget.  Do you know of any sites or help?  Thank you! My email is: [email protected]

    If you originally purchased via download from the Adobe store, you **should** be able to find links in your order history to download the files
    If you purchased physical discs, you are out of luck unless you find someone near to let you install from their discs with your numbers

  • Should I uninstall Premiere Elements 10 before installing Elements 12?

    I got Elements 12 today, but I would like to know if I should uininstall Elements 10 first.

    John,
    There is no reason to do so. The two versions can co-exist quite nicely. PrE 12 will install into a different folder structure, from your PrE 10 installation.
    Many users keep the older version(s) installed, until they have learned the newer version - there are some significant changes between PrE 10 & PrE 12. Then, when they are fully up to speed with the newer, might consider Uninstalling the previous. A few users keep each older version, because one might do something better, or for testing purposes in the forums. I have a few older versions, and at least two users have about everything, going back to about PrE 4.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues.  Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time.  Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......."  There is no other Adobe product installing.  I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.  Please help.

    A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
    Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.
