Upgrade from CS3 to CS6 Web & Design Premium

I am currently running CS3 32-bit on my 64 bit Windows 7 system.  I have purchased CS6 - should I completely remove CS3 before I install CS6?

The two versions can co-exist. If you're not planning to use the CS3 version, then it may be a good idea to remove the earlier version and then install the latest version.
If you, uninstall the CS3 version after installing the latest version, during uninstallation it just might mess up the file associations. Other than that, I don;t think that you'll face any problems.

  • Upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5 Design Premium??

    Hi there, I work for a small print company and we are in the process of upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5 Design premium, the company has purchased a new Mac (runs Lion 10.7), our old Mac is on 10.4 and it has run CS2 upgrade, and a few years back we installed the CS3 upgrade. We have not installed any of the creative suite onto the new Mac and I am wondering can I just buy the CS5.5 upgrade and use the CS3 upgrade serial number when installing? Will this be enough?
    Or do I need to go back to the initial Creative Suite that the company brought from scratch and enter that serial number?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Just have the serial number from CS3 handy when you install.
    More good news for you. Starting today if you buy CS5.5 you get a free upgrade to CS6 when it ships.

    Desktop products are generally not supported on server operating systems. That's all you will ever hear about the matter. That being so, you shouldn't expect anyone to have any answers for you. It's simply an exotic scenario and very few people, if any at all, will even have bothered to try.

  • Upgrade from CS3 to CS6 font compatibility issues...

    i recently upgraded from cs3 to cs6. my old true type font library does not show up in the new software. question: what type format must i buy to be compatible with the cs6 master collection?

    Okay...it's a brand new computer (Dell XPS 8500) and I just bought one of the products before I realized that the CS3 wasn't compatible with Windows 7.  Do I delete the CS3 and reinstall the after-market product?  Or do I delete the after-market product and reinstall and it automatically finds CS6? 
    I've been trying to get this running for three days!  LOL  I'm ready to throw it out the window....
    Thanks for your speedy reply and thanks in advance for any more light you can shed on my situation! 

  • Upgrade from CS3 to CS6 -- after market stuff gone!

    After my upgrade from CS3 to CS6, my after-market items are not showing up.  (Kubota Action Dashboard, Totally Rad Actions RadLab...)
    My inexperience assumed that the CS6 would overwrite the CS3 in the upgrade, but now I have two programs....one with my after-market products and one without.
    Any help out there?? 
    Thanks in advance...

  • Where is the CS5.5 to CS6 Web Design Premium upgrade download link?!

    I purchased the CS5.5 Web Design Premium equivalent to avail of the free upgrade to CS6 when it came out.
    After too much fluffing around with Adobe's customer services (weeks upon weeks), I eventually received the upgrade disk through the post (I'm based in the UK).
    The problem I now have is that this disk has become scratched and I can't wait to receive another disk.
    After speaking with someone through the online chat, I was told that only those who purchased an online copy could download it. As I purchased directly through Adobe over the phone, I was not entitled to an auto-generated download link.
    The upgrade also doesn't appear in my Product pages.
    So, can someone please help to find out where I can download a copy of the upgrade, rather than wait for it to come through in the post?

    As long as you have the serial numbers for the upgrade version and the base version(CS6 and CS5.5 respectively in your case) the programs will install fine. Download the trial version from www.adobe.com/downloads/ and install the software. During installation you may be asked for the CS5.5 serial number(after you enter your CS6 serial number). The installer file or setup.exe file is the same on the disks and on Adobe.com.
    Thanks

  • Upgrading from CS3 to CS6

    Can I buy the upgrade only to go from CS3 to CS6 ?

    I'm very surprised that Adobe has apparently started a "one version back" upgrade policy.
    Yes, it generated a big outcry when it was announced in late 2011.
    Originally the dispensation for CS3 and CS4 users did not exist. It was "one version back" across the board, effective immediately. That, frankly, stank. Made everyone mad, not least the habitual version skippers who were stranded on CS3 or CS4 still in the "three versions back" mindset.
    Took a lot of concerted campaigning from grass roots users as well as some very influential key Adobe users such as Scott Kelby http://scottkelby.com/2011/an-open-letter-to-adobe-systems/to change Adobe's corporate mind and reintroduce some fairness and sanity to the situation.
    Eventually Adobe saw the light and conceded to a 31 Dec 2012 cutoff for CS3 and CS4.
    However, I'm expecting to see some irate CS3 and CS4 users in the forums in January 2013.
    That said, I personally believe that traditional licensing (pay once upfront and use forever) for Adobe products is in its sunset phase being slowly prepared for retirement. Pure speculation on my behalf. I'm of the opinion that Adobe will go Cloud-only with all its software delivery sometime within the next 5 years so this "one version back" nonsense will probably become a moot point.

  • Upgrading from CS3 to CS6? What is CS3.x?

    I purchased a CS6 upgrade for my CS3 version.  On the box it says I need a valid serial number for CS3.x.  Will the upgrade I bought work for me?

    Yes. .x is just a common notation for minor updates which denote differences in bundling/ packaging e.g. 3.1 was the version of Design Premium that came with Acrobat 9 instead of the older Acrobat 8...

  • Upgrade from CS3 to CS6

    I have Adobe CS3 on my Windows PC and have recently bought a Mac. I am unable to install CS3 on to my Mac, since it is only compatible with Windows. Is it possible to upgrade to CS6 and have it installed in my Mac? How do I go about it?

    Unfortunately no.
    The window for CS3 and CS4 to upgrade to CS6 closed on Dec 31, 2012.
    Your options:
    Buy a new full version of CS6 for Mac
    Join the Creative Cloud (membership includes the ability to install on both Mac and Windows) and pay the monthly fee

  • Can I upgrade from cs3 to cs6

    Hi, I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection, can I upgrade my Premiere Pro CS3 within this suite to CS6 on it's own or do I have to upgrade the entire suite?

    Entire Suite... Adobe does not offer upgrades for any individual program in a suite, only the entire suite

  • CS6 Web Design Premium

    Hi,
    I bought this a few years ago and had everything installed I needed and working fine. Today I tried to install acrobat. I had it previously at some stage but it wont allow me to install. When its in the installing process its spitting the disc out and giving me an Exit Code 6 error with no specific reason or what the problem is.
    I restarted the computer and turned all applications off with no help.
    I have a mac - Mavericks iOS.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi.  I took my iMac into the Apple Store and they have been running diagnostics on it for the past 5 days. Got it back today. They reinstalled Yosemite, replaced the hard drive and a few other things, remigrated my data and I have it back. The first thing I did was open indesign and it crashed. So I opened it again and having no more dramas as yet, however I removed all of cs6 and reinstalled it. It has just finished and everything installed except for Acrobat X Pro. It came up with the exit code 6 error again. This time it gave me more info and I will attach so hoping someone knows something please.

  • Im trying to install CS6 Web & Design Premium (Student Version).

    Im getting adobe error message. "Installer failed to initialize. this could be due to a missing file"
    Please help!!
    I am using a Mac Book Pro 2 GHz OS 10.6.8
    I did a system restore and a software update before attempting the install.
    You can email me personally if you think can help.  [email link removed]

    Djsunrize008 did your system restore include anything beyond your documents and settings?  If so this could be why you are facing your current difficulties.
    You can review the PDApp.log to determine what errors are leading it the failure to initialize message.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the PDApp.log file at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • CS6 Web & Design full, plus CS6 Master Collection install

    I am a freelance pro and educator. I currently own (and have installed) a full CS6 Web & Design Premium pkg. I will be teaching After Effects in the fall (which is NOT part of the Web & Design package). I purchased an educator's version of the CS6 Master Collection recently. I'm not quite sure how to install the new Master Collection, since it's an limited educator's version. Should I keep the full Web & Design collection using the current full license and then install After Effects by itself using the educator's license? Will that cause conflicts? OR should I uninstall the Web & Design and do a full install of the CS6 Master Collection educator's version?
    You see, the conflict for me is that I will be doing professional, paid work mainly with Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign.

    You can continue using your Design and Web premium.
    And for After Effects, you can just install After Effects out of the Master Collection.
    When you will begin installation, you will get options to select what applications you would like to install, there you can choose After Effects and install using Educational license you have.
    With this there will be no conflict.
