Switching CS5.5 Production Premium from Mac to PC?

Hello all,
I recently bought a new Asus and I was hoping that there was a way to install my cs5.5 on it. I bought production premium a few years ago for my mac. I deactivated it, but the serial won't work when I try it on my new pc. I'm really hoping I don't have buy it again, because I want to use my pc for most of my design work.
Thanks.

You have to upgrade to CS6 and make the platform switch. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps are not possible for anything but the latest versions.

Just loaded CS5.5 Production Premium for Mac and cannot get Premier Pro to open-error messages

Just loaded CS5.5 Production premium onto my iMac and I am getting an error message when I try to open Premier Pro i.e., [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/Mulder64/shared/adobe/MediaCore/ASL/Foundation/Make/Mac/../../S rc/DirectoryRegistry.cpp-283]. I am finding similar issues with Encore. Haven't been able to get through to Adobe help as yet, anyone have an idea?

Which language is your default system language set to? This is critical as you may have installed support for langauges that your version of CS cannot handle. The common fix is to choose File --> Info or File --> Explore Package and remove e.g. Asian languages...

Just received my upgrade to CS6 Production Premium from CS5 Design Premium and it states I do not have a qualifying product for the upgrade. How can I fix this problem?

You probably ordered the wrong upgrade package. get in touch with support.

CS5.5 Production Premium via Akamai or direct download: unrecognised, small .dmg file size

A discussion / open call for help about my experiences downloading the product. This may help
Product:
CS5.5 Production Premium (download version), Intel Based Mac
My system:
MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8
FireFox 7.0
Safari 5.1
Chrome 15
Problem:
Downloading the 8.2GB .dmg file from order history/your downloads page or opening downloaded file.
1. Akamai shows that "download integrity is invalid". Confirming to start the process over yields same result. Also noticed that filesze is only 202.36MB.
2. "Alternative download method" of direct download results in a 212MB file that is not recognised as a disk image.
3. Speaking to chat support, and going through the above steps again, a direct link was eventually provided, but "access denied" error (to what appears to be the trial version of CS5, not CS5.5). We then had to initiate and cancel a Lightroom download, then go back to the direct link to start CS5 trial.
Download started, but filesize was only 608MB, which cannot be right (no screenshot) No further help on this issue from chat support. I am expecting a call from them, but then I received a case update e-mail saying that they were "happy that we have started the download for Production Premium CS5.5", so not very encouraging.
Also not clearly explained was why I was given the trial. I assume I can unlock the full version with my serial.
4. Via CS5.5 product page, I started downloading trial using Adobe Download Manager. I have to hover over the progress bar to see what the download status is - 15 hours to go. At least it has initiated and seems to be downloading the right filesize. I am hoping I can just put my serial in this and unlock the full version.
Not the smoothest experience so far. I'll update if this works.

(update:) I've also tried downloading other elements, such as CS5.5 master and I've got the same problem. It seems that EVERY downloads stop before the end...
What does it mean? That Adobe doesn't want users to downlaod trials?

CS5.5 Production Premium Serial Number no longer works

Hi there.
I purchased CS5.5 Production Premium back in October of 2011. After upgrading to a new mac and installing the CS5.5 software, it will not accept my serial number. I'm copying and pasting it directly from my Adobe account, so there's no chance of mistyping here. It just won't accept it. Any ideas on how to get back up and running?
Thank you in advance for any assistance,
Jamey Scott

Jamey Scott I am sorry you have faced a frustrating experience contacting our support team. I do see that you opened multiple cases. If you are not seeing the option to chat with a member of our team then it is likely the security settings of your current web browser, a toolbar, or add-on is preventing you from accessing this feature.
I reviewed your account and it appear that you have been assigned as deploy-to id. This means that if you do not currently have access to https://licensing.adobe.com/ you will want to click on the forgot password link to reset your password.
I would recommend utilizing a different web browser since both issues could be related to the current web browser you are using. If you face additional difficulties you can also download the installation files to a USB drive utilizing a different computer.

Upgrade CS5.5 Design Premium with CS5.5 Production Premium

I would like to upgrade my current CS5.5 Design Premium with CS5.5 Production Premium; but, have been told, in so doing, I would lost access to InDesign. Is that accurate? I would think it is a matter of doing a selective install to not overwrite the overlapped programs, but I want to be sure before making the purchase.
Thanks!

It's because of the Security options.
Go to System Preferences... > Security & Privacy and there should be a button saying Open Anyway, under the General tab.
You can avoid doing this by changing the options under Allow apps downloaded from:, however I would recommend keeping it at the default Mac App Store and identified developers.

Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium Install Errors and Other Issues

Hi,
I just installed Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium on my computer and had some errors pop up at the end of installation. I will paste the summary below. I've tried to install Procction Premium a couple of times. I've used the Adobe Cleaner Tool. From what I've researched, the Flash Issue is a a false error since Flash was already installed on the computer. Is the rest of it connected to the Flash issue as well?
Thr programs all seem to work fine except for the issue below.
My other question is that when I am in Windows Explorer and I Right-Click on say a .jpg file and select Open With... I am not able to select Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for that matter. I have Dreamweaver CS4 and that shows up as an option. I have gone through the process of trying to add the Adobe Photoshop .exe file, but it still doesn't work. However, if I open Adobe Bridge, I am able to select Photoshop or Illustrator to open a file. Is this connected to my install or is there something else going on? I did uninstall an ancient version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 that I've had for years, but that was prior to installing Production Premium CS5. Could that have caused an issue? I read that uninstalling an old Photoshop can cause problems like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, your installation errors appear to be the innocuous false errors related to the brain-dead Flash installer. If the programs seem to be working fine, don't worry about it. As far as not being able to open images with Photoshop from Windows Explorer, I recommend taking that question to the Photoshop forum.

Installing CS5.5 Production Premium over CS5 Extended

I have a previous installation of CS5 Design apps with Photoshop CS5 extended, Illustrator and the other web apps (Silly me, purchased Design Suite a year or two ago and now purchased the rest of the apps in CS5.5 Production Premium, should've bought the Master Collection years ago) so now I am trying to install the other apps I need from Production Premium. It looks like PS and Illustrator come with this set though.
So I am wondering, if I do a complete install, won't I lose all my PS brushes, styles, and other custom settings?
Could I just install Premiere, After Effects and Audition? It also looks like some of these apps are not 5.5 version but 5.1. Is that correct?
So what would be my best options for this installation?
Thanks.

No takers?
Could someone maybe shed some light on how I should go about doing a custom install of the apps in a separate directory maybe?
All I really need are the video editing components, so I am not sure if that is just Premiere, After Effects, and Audition. Do I need other apps for support of these?
Thanks.

CS5.5 Production Premium Installation complications

I downloaded a trial version for CS5.5 Production Premium; I decided to go ahead and buy the whole full version of it. I payed for it and got the serial numbers needed, but in the middle of the installation, it asks for a serial number update for a "qualifiying product".
None of the other serial numbers work, and I'm not sure what qualifying product I'm supposed to be having. I thought I was just installing a new suite of programs, not udgrading from an previous version I never had in the first place.
I'm sorry, but I'm a little annoyed by all this. What on earth am I missing just to get the full version already?

Call Adobe Customer Support. Somehow you either ordered an upgrade version or if you ordered correctly were given the serial number for an upgrade instead of a full version. Only Adobe Customer Support can assist you with this. These forums are user-to-user forums and not an online outlet for either Adobe Customer Support or Adobe Technical Support. Good luck!

Downloading CS5.5 Production Premium...

Hi,
In November 2011 my work bought 5 licenses for the CS5.5 Production Premium. I downloaded and used 4 of the 5 licenses. Currently, I'm trying to download and use the last license for CS5.5..... but CS6 is out and I can't seem to find a place to download CS5.5. I've tried transfering from one computer to another and it tells me there's an error and that I should uninstall and reinstall..... but I have nothing to reinstall from. I've seen a couple other threads for places to download it, but the links don't work. {It keeps telling me access denied} I've followed the step by step instructions carefully and tried multiple times on multiple computers.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to install CS5.5 on this new computer?
Thanks!
--Kayla.

Does anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong
You are not backing up your installers as advised on the download page. Seriously, and I know this sounds harsh/ rude, if you have 5 licenses what in the world has stopped you from buying a cheap external USB disk to put them on there for reuse later? One of your existing installs could long have broken down and then you'd still have the same problem. Other than that, Manish already gave you the proper link. If it doesn't work, get in touch with support about alternatives.

Simple question: upgrade to CS5.5 Production Premium

Hello everyone,
After a quick chat with Adobe Chat Support I was inform that it was not possible to upgrade from CS2 Premium to CS5.5 Production Premium.
The box upgrade of CS5.5 Production Premium states the following: Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium English Upgrade FR Suite 2/3V Back
Is this true?
Thanks,
jdl

Upgrade a single component of CS5.5 Production Premium

I purchased a boxed retail copy of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Upgrade from CS5.5 (Windows). I wanted to upgrade just the Premiere component of my CS5.5 Production Premium. It will not install. Can I get it to work?

You can download the trial version of the software from the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Cs5.5 production premium...how many machines can I install this on?

I just purchased cs5.5 production premium...it hasn't arrived yet but I was wondering how many machines I can install in on.

HEY TOM!
The ideal solution is to have a large enough HD (preferably a fast RAID)
for storing your preview and cache files so you don't have to worry about
if they are taking up too much space.
You ignore them, then do a 'Spring Cleaning' now and then after you have
shuffled through a few projects, then save a few minutes when opening
any current projects to allow them to re-generate their cache files if needed.
If you are on Win7, another folder to watch is:
C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Temp
Media Encoder will leave a lot of files in this folder that can be deleted.
Select all and hit delete. If you get any messages, skip those files and continue.
Specify scratch disks to improve system performance
Move or clean the Media Cache Database

CS5.5 Production Premium Dynamic Link error

I have trial CS5.5 Production Premium. I'm trying to dynamic link premiere pro to after effects but error "Using Adobe Dynamic Link with Adobe After Effects requires Adobe Production Premium". I already instal Production Premium.I reinstall but still ongoing. I need a solution.

Try using a Forum search or a Google search - 'Using Adobe Dynamic Link with After Effects requires Adobe Production Premium' was quite common error. Deactivating and reactivating the Suite resolved the issue in most cases.

On Windows 7 Ultimate, desktop with C (system) drive, D K and L drives, can I install Adope Creative Suite 6 Production Premium (from cd's) to Drive D (not C). Thank you.
