Uninstall existing PS CS5 from Master Collection and then install standalone PS CS5

I recently purchased an iMac that has a volume licensed Creative Suite Master Collection installed. Under the volume license I can update but not upgrade, which is understandable. Question is, can I uninstall Photoshop CS5 Extended from the Master Collection using the uninstaller, and then install a newly purchased standalone version of Photoshop CS5 that I can register in my name for upgrading later on when newer versions come out? Are there shared resource elements that could get out of whack or cause problems?

As phrased, you are using an illegal copy of the Creative Suite Master Collection.
Beyond that, there is now a dedicated Adobe forum to deal with installing, setup and licensing issues:

  • Uninstall SOA Suite from Business Vista and then install again

    I have installed SOA Suite 10.1.3 on Business Vista laptop. Before this I had to change oraparams.ini of installation package to add entry 6.0 (Vista) for supported OS. Installation was on computer without Oracle database, so automatically it was made for Oracle lite. Installtion was sucesfule and also some configuration assistants (e.g. BPEL) were successful, but Web services assistance failed (there was error messages during execution of some SQL - some object couldn't be found - so - maybe failure was due to lack of running database, the ultimate error message was that running server (what? DB? AS????) cann't be found). So - I have decided uninstall Suite (I had to change oraparam.ini of installer as well - to add 6.0).
    Before this I had installed Oracle DB for Vista (sucesfully) and now its services are working.
    So - the problem is that SOA Suite unistall now proceeds almost several days - there is 100% CPU consumption of both cores, HD free space slowly fluctuate +/- 0.2 GB, there is no records with word error in unistall err log and no additional message execept for 'deinstall in progress...' on standard output. What shoudl I do? Are there some toolls available to remove SOA without uninstall... How long it be?
    My ulitmate aim is to remove current SOA installation and the install it again - I hope that as now I have DB installed, then SOA installation and assistants will comlete sucessfully... Yes - I am using Vista, but I can hardly imagine that Oracle suite cann't be Vista enabled.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello
    How did the uninstall and reinstall go?
    I started installing the 10.1.3 SOA suite (because that was the only version certified on Vista as per oracle readmes) with out clear installation instructions - and probably hoping the instructions for 10.1.2 will be valid to some degree. Instead found the install screens have been drastically altered. There is no option to install the infrastructure db - looks like the basic isnatll will install a lite db. And the advanced install seems to need an existing db. I have a 10g db installed but am not sure if i need to so additional setups like pre-creating some schemas - i exited the installation and started researching - your post is the closest to what i'm doing. Can you point me to any documentation on installing 10.1.3 on Vista?
    Ideally i'd like to install R2 but that does not seem to be certified on vista.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can I uninstall only Premiere Pro CS5 from Master Collection?

  • Installing cs3 master collection and cs5 production premium on windows 7 machine

    I have a windows 7 ultimate machine that I would like to install CS3 Master Collection on. I would then like to upgrade the Production Premium programs to CS5.
    I have the install discs for both. Any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Tahseen,
    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Both CS3 Master Collection and CS5 Production Premium are full installs, neither is an upgrade. I have serial numbers for both.
    Machine previously had CS4 Production Premium installed on it, that has been uninstalled.
    Should I install CS3 Master Collection then install CS5 Production Premium? If so, do I need to remove the CS3 versions of programs included in Production Premium before installing CS5 Production Premium?
    Thanks again!

  • CS5.5 Master Collection and Production Premium -- is the 32-bit license separate?

    The CS5.5 Master Collection and Production Premium include a license for 32-bit Premiere Pro and After Effects. As I understand it, this 32-bit license can be used on a separate computer (and another user) simultaneously with the 64-bit version. Is this correct?

    Yes, that could be the answer ... but in all other aspects, this package is treated as TWO separate products -- I have it listed as two products at my Adobe product page, I've got two separate registration "rewards". And I remember a couple of months ago it was mentioned in the Premier Pro or After Effects forum by one of the heavy contributors (I haven't been able to find it again, though). That's why I'd like an "official" answer (I'm in no doubt, that i is possible and it will work, but I'm curious if it follows the rules)

  • How do I uninstall CS6 Master Collection and install CS6 Illustrator?

    I have downloaded the complete CS6 Master Collection trial, yet I would like to try the applications individually instead.
    I haven't yet started the trial.
    How do I uninstall CS6 Master Collection and install CS6 Illustrator?

    Yes installing only the Illustrator trial would use the trial for Illustrator.  If you have installed the Master Collection though then your trial of Master Collection has already begun.  I would recommend using the remainder of your Master Collection trial for the moment.

  • Can't install Acrobat from Master Collection 6

    I've uninstalled Acrobat X and Acrobat XI. I reinstalled from the dmg file and get the following error:
    Exit Code: 6
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)
    System Requirements
    I reinstalled the entire collection thinking that may help, but it didn't.  I'm on a Mac running OS 10.8.3

    In case anyone else ends up with a similar issue: I recently signed up for Creative Cloud. I downloaded the update for Acrobat listed there as well as the new programs I did not have (Edge etc.). The conflict arose from the Creative Cloud version and the version from Master Collection.
    I had to uninstall the entire Adobe collection and all Creative Cloud item. Then I ran Adobe cleaner and reinstalled the Master Collection. I installed only the items I didn't have from Cloud. I still received an error that Acrobat had not been installed, but it was there and is working now.

  • Cs6 master collection and acrobat XI

    I am running CS6 Master Collection and it came with Acrobat X.  I have updated my computer to Acrobat XI and now from Dreamweaver when I try to edit a pdf it says the form cannot be edited with acrobat and needs livecycle.  This did not happen before.  How do I fix this?

    deactivating is done by opening a programs > click help > click deactivate.
    that's not applicable to cc apps.
    to use acrobat x, uninstall acrobat xi, clean and then install acrobat x, Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

  • I currnently own a Macintosh computer with Creative Suite Master collection and I need help

    I own a Macintosh computer with Creative Suite master collection and I just recently bought a Windows 8 computer that I want to use Creative Suite on also, I do not want to buy a brand new product as I have proof of ownership on my Creative Suite, is there ANY way I can get around buying a new product? I own the item for Mac I just want it for windows also, any answers will be appreciated!

    It depends. If it's a CS6 suite you can apply for a platform change to Windows free of charge, but you terminate your Mac license.
    CS5, you would pay an upgrade fee and be able to change the license.
    CS4 and below... you have no options other than buying a Full Windows version of CS6.

  • I just installed Creative Suite v 6.0 Master Collection and downloaded all product updates - I tried

    I just installed Creative Suite v 6.0 Master Collection and downloaded all product updates - I tried opening a document created with InDesign v9.x Cloud version and I get an error that do not have the latest... what is going on here?

    CS6 Master Collection is the last perpetual licensed product. The files created with CC version of Adobe apps are not, in many cases, compatible with CS6 versions.
    Is there some reason you thought they were?
