Uninstall CS5 after upgrade to CS5.5 Production

I have recently upgraded to CS5.5 production and would like to know if I should remove CS5 now that I am running 5.5? Or is there any reason to keep both on my computer?
Is there any special method of uninstalling the old suite.

The only downside to keeping both is the use of disk space.

Uninstall CS3 after upgrading to CS4?

I would like to know if it is ok to uninstall CS3 after
installation of the upgrade to CS4 without any ill affects?

Definitely leave CS3 installed until AFTER you install CS4.

Uninstalling CS3 after upgrading to CS5.5?

Sorry to throw this query at you all but am unable to find an answer in Adobe support after spending half an hour looking!
I've just upgraded from Web Premium CS3 to Web preium CS5.5 - all good - but the I still have all of the CS3 programmes on my PC. Can I now delete the CS3 suite ok without affecting the CS5.5 progs? I presumed that installing an upgrade would do just that - UPGRADE the existing software and not install a whole new suite along side the old one.
Help appreciated!!

Upgrade does not do that. There is a good reason for keeping older versions of software even if DW doesn't have that need. The best program to think of incompatibilities between versions is InDesign. I've been in the habit of keeping multiple versions of that, or with Photoshop at one point because I could never remember to switch between 64-bit launch and 32-bit launch for some older functions that were not compatible.
All you have to do is:
Mac User - Go to the Utilities folder and there is a folder of Adobe installers in there. Choose the CS3 uninstaller.
Windows User - Go to the Control Panel-> Programs and click to uninstall CS3.
If the uninstaller is not present you may need your old media to uninstall. Or you may be able to clean one version as a last resort ( http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html ).

Uninstall CS4 after upgrade to CS5?

Hi -
I just upgraded from Photoshop CS4 to Photoshop CS5.
I had expected CS5 to overwrite and replace CS4, but all the elements of CS4 are still there.
Should I simply uninstall CS4?
Is there a risk of losing any files if I do so?
If so, what should I back up?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

PS CS4 and PS CS5 can co-exist. You can either use both of them simultaneously or can simply uninstall CS4 if you wish.

Uninstall CS2 after upgrade to CS4 - is there a new walktrough

Just upgraded from CS2 Premium to CS4 Premium on Mac 0SX 10.5.6, but left CS2 on there as I wanted to copy over a few preset files etc from CS2 to CS4.
Now I want to remove CS2. I've got an old document link for removing CS2 but it mentions removing directories that I know CS4 has installed or shares (e.g. Adobe Utilities and Adobe Updater)
Is there a new walkthrough or utility to remove CS2 once you have upgraded to CS4?

Buko
That's a bit too succinct and general....
In your apps folder will be a folder call 'Adobe Creative Suite 2'. Within this is an' uninstallers' folder which contains the file 'How to uninstall.pdf'. This file is reproduced (as far as I can tell) at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331301
This talks you through the various folders/files to remove.
BUT BEWARE - this was written before CS3/4 existed and as my post (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b82bde) points out, there will be some folders it suggests you remove, but that CS4 actually need (e.g. Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities folder).
I'm seeking a new 'How to Remove CS2 after installing CS4' document myself.
Have spoken to Adobe Tech support today and their suggestion was to "not remove any files/folders you think CS4 may need'.
How flaky is that for Technical Support - some people like to keep their hard drives lean.

Should I uninstall CS3 after upgrade to CS4

Sorry to ask such a basic question but...
I just installed CS4 after recently installing CS3 after upgragding from CS1. When I went from CS1 to CS3 I am sure that the installer took CS1 away? My PC now has CS3 and CS4 on my PC and I want to know if I can just go ahead and uninstall CS3? If I do, is there anything I need to be aware of?
Thanks

I have a similar question. I just bought a new desktop computer with Windows Vista. I was able to get Adobe CS2 (which is not designed for Vista) installed and working by using the fix mentioned in a few posts on this site...installing to c:\progra~2\Adobe. However, InDesign from Cs2 will no longer open my Pagemaker 6.5 files. I'm ok with no longer using Pagemaker since I know it is going obsolete, BUT I desparately need to be able to convert all my PM files to InDesign. So, my question is...first, does CS4 Indesign open PageMaker 6.5 files? Second, I'm not quite sure how upgrade installations work. Since I have CS2 installed into a special folder, is that going to be a problem to install CS4? Do upgrades have to install into the same folder as previous versions, or do they go into their own new folder? Do I need to uninstall CS2 first? Any help/insight would be appreciated!

Uninstall LR2 after upgrade to LR3 (Windows 7 64-bit)?

I just purchased the online LR3 upgrade and then upgraded LR2 to LR3.
The upgrade seems to have worked just fine, and I am able to open and operate LR3 on my existing catalog.
Apparent problem: LR2 was not uninstalled, so when I insert media, etc, both LR2 and LR3 show up as possible target applications.
Question: Should I uninstall LR2, or should I just leave it there and ignore it? I definitely do not need to run the LR2 application, but I also do not want to harm my LR3 installation or existing catalog. FYI, I did upgrade all of the photos in the LR3 catalog to the new (2010) process. My machine a Windows 7 64-bit box.
Thanks in advance for any help.

That is normal. Some users may want to retain the older version for a variety of reasons e.g. results comparison, possible problems with new version etc.
You see the same behavior with Photoshop or Creative Suite upgrades.
There can be some gotchas in that instance with file handling preferences for example. It's not been an issue for your circumstance though, by the sound of it.

Uninstall CS2 after upgrade to CS4

Is there an uninstaller? What do I need to do/remove?
thanks,

if you are certain you don't need any part of CS2
move it to the trash and delete.
be sure you don't need it because you will need to uninstall CS4 to reinstall CS2

Uninstalled drivers after upgrade

i have recently updated my new notebook from win 7 pro to win 8.1 pro 64 bit and have realised that under device manager there are a few items that have a yellow exclamation marknext to them, i have tried to click on each item and update the drivers but it does not update let alone find the drivers on the internet.

Uninstalling CS5 after CS5.5 upgrade

Maybe my search-fu isn't what it used to be, but I couldn't find any definitive info on this:
Can I safely uninstall the CS5 Master Collection applications after installing the CS5.5 upgrade on OS X? (Assuming I no longer wish to run the CS5 apps for whatever reason.) Both were installed from disc, and CS5 was my "qualifying product" for the upgrade.
I know enough to use the uninstallers in the Adobe Applications folders, but I've seen (slightly dubious) anecdotal evidence to suggest that uninstalling CS5 apps after the 5.5 upgrade may actually botch 5.5. Can anyone confirm or deny this? What's the best practice?

The components of the two versions are independent. You should have no problem uninstalling the older version.

Uninstalling CS3 after installing CS5 upgrade

Is it necessary to uninstall CS3 after installing a new copy of CS5 upgrade? For the sake of not eating up storage space? Or does CS5 depend on files CS3 has already in place? I'd like to get Bridge CS3 off my computer since Bridge CS5 is now installed. And CS3 is not appearing in the Add/Remove dialog in Control Panel (Win XP Pro)

Please read this and this. In short: Attempting to remove older versions after the fact is ill advised. It's calling for trouble, especailyl with the fragile CS3 installers. Read the articles and obey proper procedures. Otherwise jsut leave the old version in place.

CS5 will not open after upgrading to Yosemite

CS5 will not open after upgrading to Yosemite

Hi Clickchris,
CS5 Photoshop is supported on Mac OS 10.5.7 and 10.6.
It has not been tested on Yosemite as it is a very old version of the product.

After upgrading to CS5, printing PDFs has become a nightmare!

After upgrading to CS5, printing PDFs has become a nightmare!
For example,
1. It would never finish printing the file, just the first so many pages. So...
2. I updated the driver, and then I could print one copy only without problems. But...
3. I can never print more than one copy of a PDF without collate mis-sequence problems. It just does not print one whole copy before printing the next copy. And it goes back and forth printing some of the first copy, then the second, then a few pages from the first, etc. Eventually it all prints, but they are mixed up sequentially. But some pages are in order. And...
4. It prints soooo slow compared to before.

All I know is that before I could print fine and fast and in any quantity I wanted (while using CS3 Indesign exported PDFs and Booklet Spreads on my latest and greatest printer, a Color Ricoh SP C420 DN).
But now, since I upgraded to a Master Suite of CS5, at first it would never print the whole file, even once. And when I upgraded to the Universal Print Driver, and or any other drivers, it will only print one copy of a PDF without mis-sequencing the printed pages, and it is so slow. It is worthless.

P.S. I think I need to try to call Ricoh or something, but will that work? Sigh!
Yeah, this sounds like a general print driver problem with the newer versions of the Adobe products, not just Acrobat or ID. Ricoh may or may not have an updated driver, but theyare definitely the ones to ask.
You haven't told us the OS... Some Mac users have had good luck, I think, using the CUPS drivers with problem printers when the manufacturer doesn't have a solution, but I'm a Windows guy, so don't do much with Mac printing.

This answer may be somewhat late, but just in case other have the same issues, I went to site listed below and it solved the problem. No need to reinstall CS5 product. I hope this works for you.
