Trying to upgrade to CS4 from Elements 6.0

I downloaded the CS4 Upgrade and am trying to get it to accept my serial from PS ELements 6.0. I got the 6.0 from a bundle with my Wacom Cintiq a couple of months ago, and there is nothing on there that indicates that it is anything less than a full version of the Elements. It says my serial # is not correct. I am using Windows XP. Has anyone had any troubles like this?
-Michael

That's strange... why would it give Elements 6.0 as an option from its dropdown menu to give a serial number for when it is upgrading?
Edit.. and this is the fine print from the e-mail that they sent me about the upgrade: The US$299 price offer for Adobe Photoshop CS4 standard software is available only to licensed users of Photoshop Elements Windows 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0; Photoshop Elements Mac 3.0, 4.0, and 6.0; Adobe Photoshop Elements plus Adobe Premiere® Elements bundle; and Adobe Photoshop Elements & Adobe Premiere Elements bundle who purchase the full version of Photoshop CS4 standard directly from Adobe.

  • Trying to Upgrade to CS4 from CS3 Extended

    I am trying to upgrade to CS4 from CS3 Extended.  The Adobe web page states to call Adobe support for this upgrade.  I call them before I attempt the upgrade to ask what I should do.  They tell me to intall it and call back.  I get to the serial screen and call back, they tell me to fully install it in trial mode, then call back.  I do this and call back, but notice it installed CS4 Extended, not CS4.  They tell me they can't help me because I purchased only CS4.  That is all I want is CS4, so I uninstall CS4 extended and try again.  Again the install(from disk) installs CS4 Extended(At least that is what the title page says).
    Do I need to uninstall CS3 Extended before I install the CS4 Trial version?
    Thanks for any help,
    bdriscoll

    Mylenium,
    Thanks for the reply.  You are correct and the next support person understood that and got it fixed.
    thanks again for your reply,

  • Got an upgrade to cs4 from Elements.  Is Elements' license still valid?

    I'm waiting on shipment of an upsell of CS4 from Elements 6.
    In the meantime, I was wondering if the upgrade would render my Elements 6 license invalid, or if I can in fact use Elements as well (on the same computer).  I tried a search, and after a long wait did not find an answer to this, so I apologize if this has been beaten to death.
    Take care.

    "It's a monumentally dumbed-down, limited, emasculated, toy"
    "If you like Elements, it's quite possible that you will find the learning curve of Photoshop too daunting."
    I'm really at home with CS4 trial actually, I'm not concerned with the learning curve.
    From GIMP, the few seconds to locate the new menu items... Perspective clone/Vanishing point, Liquid Rescale/Content-aware scaling, iWarp/Liquefy, etc were made up for with a more workable interface for the most part.
    On the other hand, I can see me not wanting to invest much time in taking someone's ex-wife out of the beach photo, etc.  I'm thinking maybe Elements has its use.  It'd be nice.
    I’m an Elements ignoramus because it's simply a product I'd normally not bother with for image editting.  GIMP and PS are my only options, none of the midrange tools cut it.
    If it's a nice replacement for iPhoto on the Mac, and is more robust and can kick someone off a picture for me in a couple seconds, I could see it being of use.
    Anyway it's real nice to finally have Photoshop and nice to be here.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

  • I am trying to upgrade Mac OSX from 10.7.4 10 .7.5 .But, the grey screen is coming for hours.  What should i do?

    i am trying to upgrade Mac OSX from 10.7.4 10 .7.5 .But, the grey screen is coming for hours.  I pressed the alt key and was taken to options viz. Restart to install MAC again, use time machine. I don't have back-up and so restarted to install MAC again. Can i cancel this now. I want my data to be secure. What should i do?

    If you cancel an install there's no telling what state it will leave your Mac in. Let it finish or fail.
    Then get a disk, it can even be a pocket drive if it's large enough and back up all your own data.
    After that, boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    The screen should give you these choices...
    Restore from TM backup
    Reinstall Mac OS X
    Get help online
    Disk Utility
    First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X.

    I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8.  It tells me to close all open applications.  However, Safari will not close and the installation cannot proceed.  Any suggestions?

    Either try to force quit Safari (press Command + Option + Escape keys and then choose force quit in the pop up window), or, you can also shut down the computer. Then boot up and open the app store application to download Mavericks - you don't need Safari for it.

    How fast is your download speed? If it's less than 10Mbps, it's going to take hours.
    Make sure your Mac can run Mavericks >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
