Upgrade from CS3 Student Version to CS4 Standard failed!

Problem:
Got a new MacBook Pro 10.9.5 and had to install all my CS software new.
(NOW: I can't open any of my old CS5.5 files, because only CS3 is working at the moment)
I'm having:
CS5.5 master collection upgrade (not working. it says: need an CS4 upgrate!)
CS3 Design Standard Student Version (is working)
I recently bought:
CS4 Standard upgrate (to get back to my own CS5.5 master collection upgrade)
But now CS4 Standard ask for my CS3 Design Student Version serial number and it is not working, but the serial number is correct!
I need to choose an Adobe CS3 product, but there is no CS3 Standard Student Version. If I choose CS3 Design Standard my serial number isn't working.
Can anyone help me?

I didnt even know contribute went to 4.4 I thought 4.1 or 4.11 was the last version in the 4 series.

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended upgrade from CS3 Student Version

    I was looking for the Student upgrade from CS3 to CS4 for Photoshop, but could not find it.
    I only saw the regular upgrade edition, not the student one.
    Could anybody please help me?
    Thanks in advance

    There is no such thing as a student upgrade. Your educational version of Photoshop entitles you to upgrade to the commercial version of Photoshop but you'll pay the same price as everybody else.
    I'm assuming that ($199.99) is still cheaper than buying a new, full educational version.

  • Upgrading from CS3 student edition to full

    I have a CS3 Design Standard student edition, and wish to upgrade to the full commercial version.
    When selecting which product I own, student editions aren't listed. Do I just select the upgrade from 'CS3.x Design Standard'?

    Correct.

  • Upgrade from 4 Education version to CS4

    Hello,
    We recently purchased the upgrade to CS4, we currently have 4.4 Education version.  When I try to activate and finish my installation by entering the serial number I have issues.  The serial number I have begins with letters and has a different amount of numbers than the one CS4 is requesting.  Is this a compatability issue between the education version and CS4? Did we purchase the wrong upgrade?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  • Upgrade from CS3 in Windows to CS4 in Mac

    I am currently running Adobe CS3 Illustrator and Photoshop.
    At present I am using this on a Windows platform but am very intersted in converting to a Mac.
    I would like to know if I can just upgrade my software from Windows to Mac and pay the smaller upgrade fee for the software, rather than paying for brand new software from scratch.
    I am doing this through work and I am trying to get exact costs etc so that I can forward over to my boss.
    Hope somebody can help.
    Cheers

    You need to contact Adobe Customer Service. At one time, I changed platforms (in the other direction) while purchasing an upgrade. But I don't know what Adobe's policy is. This is a user-to-user forum. For business purposes, you'll have to contact Adobe to make it happen anyway.

  • Upgrade from CS3 on Windows to CS4 on OS X

    I currently have Web Premium CS3 for Windows and would like to upgrade to Web Premium CS4 for MAC OS X. I've reviewed the Adobe site, and did not find anything specifically saying this is not allowed. Does anyone know if this could be a potential problem? It seems like it isn't an issue, but I would rather ask the community experts.

    Call Customer Service what you want is called a Crossgrade.

  • Can't get motion Tween to work - just upgraded from a previous version to CS4

    I am attempting to create a motion tween between two keyframes.  The image is the same...the first keyframe has the image set to an alpha of 0 and the second keyframe some 20 frames down the timeline is set to an alpha of 100%.  The keyframes are on the same layer.  The image has been transformed to a symbol.  Yet when I double click between the two keyframes and create the motion tween so the image will fade from 0 to full view at 100% nothing happens.  I don't see the familiar arrow that normally indicates a motion tween between the two keyframes.  I've created this transformation a thousand times before but don't understand what is different in CS4 that isn't creating the tween.  When I double click on a frame in between the two keyframes it indicates I can remove motion tween so, it makes me believe the motion tweening has been set but, it isn't.
    I am quite frustrated and don't understand if I haven't set something in the preferences so the tweening will work or just what is going on.
    Help!

    And here's the article that was written specifically to update your skills with all the changes between the earlier tweening and new tweens in CS4:

  • If I upgrade from CS3 premium to CS5.5 standard...

    ...what happens to my other programs such as Flash & Dreamweaver? Do I retain them as CS3 version or are they cannibalized? I don't do a lot of web work anymore, so I don't feel I need the CS5.5 Design Premium, but I'd like to retain the older versions of these programs in case I want to use them in the future.

    The new version does not touch the old one. All of the old programs will stay there.

  • Upgrade from CS3 to CS5 on Mac

    Our company just purchased CS5 and we were told that we should be able to upgrade from CS3 (we never got CS4). The box we received states it's an upgrade from CS4, but when we asked adobe, they said it should install. No such luck. Should we have received a different version or is there something we're supposed to do differently?

    You most certainly should have. The upgrade from CS4 is (assuming Design Premium) is $200 less than the upgrade from CS2/CS3.
    If you purchased directly from Adobe call them and get it straightend out.

  • Upgrade from CS3 to CS4 Extended

    I have just purchased an upgrade from Photoshop CS3 Standard to Photoshop CS4 Extended, and have problems activating. In the dropdown it only offers an upgrade from CS3 Extended and will not accept a serial number from CS3. I've spent about 2 FRUSTRATING hours on the phone today and all they can offer is that I give them the challenge code and they activate this installation, and each time I have to re install I would have to do the same. Needless to say I wasn't impressed at all, and have got an RMA number. Has anyone else suffered from this problem?

  • From LR3 Student/Teacher to LR4 Standard Upgrade

    I'm currently using LR3 Steudent/Teacher Edition and I want to upgrade to LR4; however, I'm no longer a student
    and I would have to do the upgrade with the standard edition.
    My question is: Is this possible? Can I use the standard update to LR4 from a teacher/student edition of LR3?
    If not, what are/is the solution?
    Many thanks.

    Yes, you can upgrade from the Student & Teacher version to the normal retail version.

  • CS4 unable to encode videos after upgrading from CS3

    CS4 was unable to export and encode a video after upgrading from CS3.  The error message indicated the the file could not be found.  To fix this problem do the following.  Create a short cut to adobe premiere pro (executable program) named "Premiere"     Then place the short cut in the folder C:Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/dynamiclink    After doing this my version worked fine.

    The problem mainly occures when one then removes the CS3 version of Adobe Premiere.   I have found a tech note on this problem at:

  • Getting error after administrator who upgraded from CS3 to CS4

    Hi,
    We have had an administrator who upgraded from CS3 to CS4.
    However, any of our other users still using CS3 now get the
    following error message:
    “The website is being administered with a newer version
    of Contribute. For more information contact this website's
    administrator."
    Do you know any way around this issue?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    No they don't have to, at least I think so. If your
    administror go to the menubar: Contribute>Administer
    Websites> Choose the site you wish to set the settings for. In
    'Compatibility' choose 'Transition Mode' and klik OK. This should
    allow the other users to keep working in their version of
    Contribute.
    I say 'should'... Read my entry in the general discussion
