Update from CS4 suite to PS CS5 only

Hi - I own the CS4 Design Suite Premium. I was planning on only upgrading to Photoshop CS5 however the Adobe Application Manager won't accept my CS4 serial number. Is there a way around this or are they going to force me to buy the entire CS5 suite?

  I have Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS5 both loaded on my computer what is the best way to remove just CS4 Photoshop, since it was part of the Suite? It doesn't appear that I can just remove part of the Suite.
Do I need to remove the CS4 Suite totally and then reinstall the part I want which mean minus CS4 Photoshop?
Need to go through the deactivate the serial number and reactivate it?,( guess the good thing about that I would get another free month of Lynda.com. that occurs on a reload).

  • Upgrade from Cs4 Web standard to CS5 - only premium available?

    I have for the moment CS4 Web Standard software package from Adobe.
    But I noticed that there is no upgrade to CS5 Web Standard.    It seems there is only a Web Premium.
    May we expect that there will be a Standard upgrade also?
    Kind regards
    Martine

    John,
    That is not good news.  My CS4 Web Standard is also a Student Version. I'm no longer a student.
    So can I still upgrade by purchasing the Premium Upgrade.
    Or is there a possibility that I can upgrade the Dreamweaver component?
    Or is it also possible to install only Dreamweaver CS5 next to my CS4 package?
    Thanks for assisting me
    Kind regards

    i downloaded an update from creative suite 5.5. to 6.0 and then switched computers for a few months. now I am back using the original computer and it looks like all of those Adobe applications (both 5.5 and 6.0) have disappeared. Maybe a "trial" was uploaded instead of the actual updates? Anyway, i just want to get the applications back onto my computer. i tried to enter the serial numbers on my original packaging but systems side error message from Adobe says they were already "redeemed" (which makes sense bc I already downloaded the updates. Apparently there is no phone customer service for Creative Suite anymore. ARRGGG. Any and all suggestions welcome!

    there is no update from 5.5. to 6.0.
    you could have upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0, but you would know that because you paid money.
    assuming you paid no money for a 6.0 upgrade, you still have your 5.5 license.  uninstall clean and reinstall 5.5 per http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

    How to solve the problem? also wanted to know hard reset or 3 finger reset process and steps.

    For the reset, does this help? Because Vodafone operates in different countries with different settings, in which country do you live?

  • 6280 phone update from PC Suite

    when a SMS message is sent via my 6280 from PC Suite 6.8 it does not appear in the sent items folder on the phone or produce a delivery report - if sent from the phone all works well except that a delivery report icon does not appear on the screen, my 6310 worked perfectly - do i need to upgrade any firmware - am with Orange

    let's not confuse Nokia PC Suite to this yet. When you are only using the phone, what you say is that the messages you send do actually apprear in the receivers phones, but your phone screen does not show "message sent" and the icon indicating that a message is about to go is not there ? That sounds strange, maybe you can restore factory swettings to your phone with *#7370# and see if that helps ?

  • Upgrading from CS4 Design Standard to CS5.5 Design Standard

    Hopefully a simple question. I am currently running CS4 Design Standard and wish to upgrade to CS5.5 Design Standard. My version of CS4 itself was an upgrade from the full installation version software of CS2 (I managed to skip the CS3 stage using a previous Adobe upgrade deal). Am I right in thinking that although the CS4 was an upgrade package it is now my 'standard platform' so to speak, and therefore I can use upgrade software again to take me up to CS5.5? I have the serial number for the CS4 software.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    That is correct. Make sure you get the right upgrade…there are several.

  • Upgrading from CS2 Suite (Win) to CS5 Suite (Mac)

    Over the last few days I have twice called Adobe UK sales and have been assured that I can easily upgrade my Windows CS2 suite to a Mac CS5 suite.
    I was told that all I have to do is enter the CS2 Windows serial number during the CS5 Mac installation and it will be accepted.
    However I have found no mention of this anywhere on the internet.
    Has anyone been given the same or conflicting advise by Adobe for this type of scenario?

    Adobe are even contracdicting themselves re CS5 upgrades.
    I was told by the UK sales team that I wouldn't need to submit a letter of software destruction upgrading from CS2 Windows to CS5 Mac.
    However, the Adobe on-line representative said I would.
    I can understand this requiurement for a straight platform swap of the same version.
    However, if I am upgrading, I surely need a valid suite to upgrade from?
    If I destroy my CS2 I will no longer have a valid suite any longer!
    I have also found out that PhotoShop Mac CS5 will apparently no longer have the ability to print printer profiling targets with colour management disabled. Supposedly Adobe labs are developing a separate utility for printing profiling targets but with no ETA. This means that I will have to continue to use an earlier version of PhotoShop anyway!
    With these uncertainties, contradictions and complications I have now cancelled my order.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Upgrade from CS4 Master Education to CS5 Master Education

    Hi,
    I just bought the CS4 Master Student Edition in February 2010 and I didn't realize that there was going to be a new version so soon.  If I wanted to upgrade to the CS5 Master Student Edition would it just be the commercial upgrade price or is there a student discount on an upgrade?  (I know that the there's a big discount already, but I just thought to ask first.)  The upgrade looks like it's amazing and I'd love to be able to use the new edition for my remaining college courses but I'm not sure if I'd be able to squeeze out $900 after we just bought CS4 this year so if there was a discount that would be awesome!
    Thank you so much,
    Katie

    There are no upgrades available between student or educational versions of Adobe products. You can either upgrade to the commercial version of CS5 from your student version of CS4 or you can buy a full CS5 student version (as you noted, the student versions are very highly discounted), whichever is more economically advantageous to you.

  • Updating from production suite to Final Cut Studio 2

    BUUUT my copy of production suite is an ed buy. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell I didnt just shoot myself in the foot by buying the FC Studio 2 update rather than the entire set.
    Thanks.
    p.s. First post, woot.

    Methinks you did. Traditionally, academic versions are NOT upgradeable. But check your software license to make sure.

  • Conversion from CS4 to CS5

    Greetings:
    I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a CS5 upgrade. I use PrPro CS4 and Encore CS4. In general, I edit AVCHD video in a PrPro project with multiple sequences. I dynamically link these into my Encore projects with multiple timelines, build my menus, wire it up and build DVD's and BluRays. I should mention that my menu buttons and thumbnails are also designed by me and imported from Photo Shop. I do this because I am a nerd and if there's a choice to be made between picking from a library of pre-cooked items and designing the items myself from scratch, I will always opt for the latter.
    I am about 1/2 way through a project right now and do not expect to be done for another 6 weeks or so but I'm enticed by the claims of performance improvements and the prospect of writing AVCHD directly to BluRay without transcoding.
    My question then: Will my PrPro and Encore projects from CS4 port smoothly into CS5 of same? Anything I should watch out for?
    My system was updated in January:
    HP Pavillion with Windows 7 Home x64
    1 TByte HD
    8 GB Memory
    ATI Radeon 3650 with 1GB memory
    Should I?
    All opinions welcome.
    Thanks,

    For Premiere CS5 at least, the best way to answer the question is to download the trial version and try it.  I have both CS4 and CS5 trial on my computer, and CS4 still works fine.  When you import a CS4 project into CS5, it creates a new project file, so the CS4 project remains untouched.
    There are a few CS4 effects not found in CS5 which will not survive the conversion - the GPU effects and time warp effect come to mind, though there may be others.

  • Upgrade CS4 Production Premium to CS5 Web Premium?

    I need to get Adobe Dreamweaver for some web work. Rather than spend $399 for DW, I thought I would spend $599 for the upgrade from CS4 Production Premium to CS5 Web Premium... These suites hace a several programs in common but the thing is, I still need to use Encore and the Media Encoder that only exist in Production Premium. After I install the CS5 Web Premium, will I be able to still use (officially or un-officially) a few of my CS4 Production Premium applications on the same system?
    Thanks...

  • [CS4] Updating Only AE to CS5 from CS4

    Hoping to get some experienced guidance about the value of update to AE CS5 from the Production Premium of CS4.
    Would there be snafus involved when say premier from CS4 interacts with AE updated to CS5.
    Would there be any serious advantages to making that kind of upgrade?
    So far as an eventual upgrade overall to CS5 goes, would having upgraded AE turn out to be an extra expenditure... That is, would I end up paying for it twice to speak?

    I've made the change from Production Premium CS4 to adding AE 10 only.  Since I have absolutely NO problems, I'm confident in recommending the following:
    If you have any other updates to make, save them, and un-register (not the proper term) your copy of CS4 Production Premium.  You'll find how to do it in Photoshop's Help menu.
    Install any newer media applications: quicktime comes to mind.
    Reinstall CS4 production Premium.
    Run any and ALL updates for CS4 Production premium, in all applications, if necessary.
    Install After Effects CS5, and run the update application under the Help menu.
    I've been running both for three weeks, with absolutely NO complaints.  Yes, it does take time... but which would you rather have in the long run: a fast install and problems, or a painstaking install and NO problems?
