Upgrade CS6 Design Premium to CS6 Master Collection?

Why can I upgrade CS5 or CS5.5 Design Premium to CS6 Master Collection, but not CS6 Design Premium? Is there really no upgrade path within the same version?
One of my new designers needs to do video production work. I'd rather pay $1,049 to upgrade his suite instead of $999 to buy the standalone After Effects application. Any chance there is actually an upgrade path, just not one that appears in the upgrade panel?

That's option #2 if nobody knows of Another Way.
Follow-up question: the new designer has a straight purchase of CS6 Design Premium but my existing designers have upgrades from CS5 or CS5.5. Is it possible to purchase a CS5.5 upgrade and have him 'swap' serial numbers with another designer on my team without creating all sorts of conflicts, re-installs, calls to Adobe support, etc.?

  • Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Design Premium to CS6 Master Collection with education pricing?

    If not, is CS6 Production Premium still available with student discount in the UK?

    There are no sidegrades from one suite to another suite and generally edu versions cannot be upgraded otehr than to the commercial one. Short of getting Creative Cloud for edu, I see no way of resolving your dilemma, but feel free to call S&T support.

  • Unable to upgrade adobe design premium from cs5.5 to cs6. Problem with eligibility of cs5.5 serial number

    I upgraded from design premium cs5.5 to design premium cs6 and am unable to install. I get all the way to where it asks for the serial number of my prior product. Then it complains that the serial number dosent represent an eligible product. The install is on a new machine that has never had the adobe product installed. I unregistered the cs5.5 product on my old machine before trying to install cs0.

    Contact serial number support by web chat.

  • I want to upgrade from cs3 design premium to cs6....how do i do that?

    I want to upgrade from cs3 design premium to cs6....how do i do that?

    You cannot. There is no upgrade path from CS3 to CS6 any more. That window closed a couple of years ago.
    Your options now:
    Buy a full new version of CS6, or
    Join the Cloud

  • Can I upgrade from CS3 Design Premium to CS6 Design Standard?

    I'm looking to upgrade my CS3 (and may need to as I'm upgrading my Mac OS X and not sure about compatibilty)... of course I know I can upgrade like for like, i.e. go from CS3 Design Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium but I don't really need Dreamweaver and Flash so just wondering if I can upgrade to CS6 Design Standard?
    Also, as I'm still relatively new to this arena and have never upgraded before... how does it work? Do I need to keep my CS3 software (i.e. disks) as well as the new software/disks? i.e. if for whatever reason I may need to re-install down the line...or can I get rid of the CS3 once I get the CS6?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can do that. But you only have a few more weeks. You may want to look into Creative Cloud instead. You'll need the CS3 serial number to upgrade to CS6 but the CS3 apps do not necessarily need to be installed.

  • I'm having trouble activating CS6 Design Premium with a VALID product Code and a VALID previous version code, CS 5.5 Design Premium. Why isn't it accepted?

    I purchased CS6 Design Premium directly from Adobe, upgrading from CS5.5 Design Premium. Now it won't acknowledge my valid previous version serial number. And I have the original documentation.
    What should I do? I can use the trial version, but that is not the solution I need.

    First you should check your Adobe account online to confirm that you are using the same serial number associated with your older version.
    If things still lok okay then you will need to get in touch with Adobe support thru chat and see if you can get their help in resolving the matter.  They might not be available during the weekend.

    No CS6 log file exists in this directory.In a terminal window, doing ls

    Then I took a look at the file, ~/Library/Logs/PDApp.log which I attach.
    There is a FATAL error:
    Adobe Application Manager executable does not exist at the location:

  • Changing from CS6 Design standard to CS6 Design & Web Premium

    Is it possible to change from CS6 Design standard to CS6 Design & Web Premium?

    You will have to contact Adobe Support to see if that is possible.  It likely depends on how long you have owned the product.

  • Upgrade cs3 design premium to cs 5.5 web premium

    Can I upgrade cs3 design premium to cs 5.5 web premium and will I lose the functionality of the Indesign CS3 that I have now?

    I believe it will but you must find the right upgrade and finding a CS5.5 upgrade is not going to be easy. Why not just get the CS6 Web and Design Premium package (that eligibility ends soon) or better yet, take advantage of the intro pricing for Creative Cloud. At $29.99/month it’s a bargain: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html

  • Upgrading to PP CS5 from CS4 Master Collection

    Hi there,
    I am currently running Premiere Pro CS4, as part of the CS4 Master Collection package.
    I need to upgrade my copy of Premiere to CS5 but can't afford to upgrade the rest of the bundled software.
    Is it possible to upgrade to Premiere Pro CS5 from a copy of CS4 within the CS4 Master Collection, or am I only entitled to upgrade to the entire Master Collection CS5?
    Thanks!

    I upgraded from the CS 4.0 Master Collection to the CS 5.5 Master Collection myself. If you use the other products in the Master Collection you should upgrade the whole thing. Photoshop, AE and DreamWeaver have had some nice new features added since version 4. Keep in mind Audition is now included with the Master Collection.

  • I cannot upgrade two Design Premium Suites from 5.5 to 6.0

    I cannot upgrade two Design Premium Suites from 5.5 to 6.0!
    I have a Volume Licensing for several Adobe Products and now I want to upgrade two of the Design Premiums to 6.0.  I have bought two Retail upgrades (with a little discount) but this not going to work.
    The Support help Chat says that I cannot use a Retail Upgrade for a Volume Licensed Design premium.
    Why? I haven't found any info about this. So after two hours a chatting with several persons at the Helpdesk I was provided with a phone number.
    When I called this Phone Number they said my serial was not connected to my Account. Unbelievable because in my Account there are all the right Numbers.
    This man said I had to call another number 08004438158 to solve my Problem. Connect to this Number is Impossible (not reachable)! 
    What to do? I cannot solve this problem with the Support Chatbox,
    I cannot solve this with a support employee on the Phone and another Phone Number is not reachable.
    I have paid a lot of Money throughout the years with Adobe Products. We are running 7 Design Premiums, Several Photoshops, several Adobe Servers Applications and two prescriptions of the CC.
    And now nobody can help me with this problem????

    Thanx Mylenium for your Suggestion .
    Today I have done another attempt by Phone. From the Netherlands Customer Service I received a different telephone number for Support. It took a while this Morning and a little patience but at last I received two unlocking Codes. So I didn't need to start an Online Support Case.

  • Would you upgrade from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5?

    I am always weary of upgrading to mid-year releases like this because usually there are more headaches than benefits.  Would I be missing out on a lot of functionality by not upgrading from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5?   I primarily use Indesign to lay-out interactive digital publications.  Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated!
    Cheers!
