Upgrade from CS4 Design Standard to CS4 Design Premium ?

No text

I would call Adobe Customer Support again and ask for a manager!
The price that was quoted was that for upgrading from Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop CS3 Extended to Photoshop CS4 Extended as opposed to an upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Photoshop CS4 Extended which should be approximately $300 (the difference between the price a new license for Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended). Ask for a manager and hopefully they will understand what you are talking about. (Contact me via e-mail off-forum if you still have problems!)

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.

Want to upgrade from CS3 [Design Premium] to CS5

Hi,
Want to upgrade from Design Premium CS3 to CS5 and saw there's a difference in price from upgrading from CS4 & CS3. Dumb question: If I bought the CS5 upgrade, would I be able to install the suite or would it ask for the previous CS4 version? If it only asks for CS3 I would really save some $$$$$$.
Can you help,
Ellen

What do you mean, there is a difference between upgrading from CS3 and CS4? An upgrade is an upgrade, there is only one price for an upgrade.
In CS4 (and CS5) Adobe introduced tiered upgrade pricing for suites only.
http://www.adobe.us/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/
What is Adobe's tiered upgrade pricing policy?
Adobe's tiered upgrade pricing policy offers customers who upgrade at every release a lower upgrade price relative to customers who upgrade less frequently. This means that customers upgrading to Creative Suite 5 from Creative Suite 4 will pay a lower upgrade price compared to customers upgrading from an earlier version of Creative Suite.
Why does Adobe offer tiered upgrade pricing?
Customers who upgrade regularly have long requested better pricing compared to those who upgrade infrequently. Adobe introduced tiered upgrade pricing in 2008, with the launch of Creative Suite 4, to reward these customers.
Does tiered pricing also apply to individual Creative Suite components?
No. The tiered upgrade policy applies only to editions of Adobe Creative Suite and not to upgrades to individual components, such as After Effects, Flash Professional, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and so on. Customers can upgrade to the CS5 version of individual CS components from up to three versions back. The only exception is Adobe Premiere Pro; customers can upgrade to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 from any earlier version of Adobe Premiere.

Will it be possible to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to PS CS6 only?

Hi!
I do own CS4/5 Design Premium and would like to know if it would be possible to get PS CS6 as upgrade from my versions. Or can I only upgrade to Suites?
Thanks,
Sven

You cannot buy an upgrade from a suite version to get just Photoshop CS6.
You might consider, however, buying a subscription to Photoshop 6 or the CS6 and the Creative Cloud (separately).
It will be easier to view your options after the official announcement of CS6 which is to happen on Monday, April 23.

Where can I download an upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium?

I am frustrated with the site - cannot find a way to upgrade to CS6 from CS5.

Hi there,
You can download Design & Web Premium CS6 from the below link:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=designweb_premium&loc=en_us
Once you download and install, you need to use CS6 serial number in the first screen and click next. On the next screen when it says "Previous qualifying version not available", please select CS5 Design Premium from the drop down list and enter your CS5 serial number and click next. It should then activate without any issues.

Jairaj

When would be good time for me to upgrade from CS4 production premium to Master Collection 5.5/6?

Hello Adobers.
I have CS4 Production Premium but I need Indesign so was thinking of upgrading to Master collection. It seems like Master collection 6 will be out early next year? So I am confused about when would be the best time to upgrade from $$$ saving point of view?
So should I upgrade from....
a) - CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 5.5 now and then > to Master collection 6 later
or
b) CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 6 directly
or
c) - CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 5.5 now and forget about version 6.
I assume option c) would be cheapest. Which will be cheaper out of a) and b) ?
Thank you for advice.

Adobe has made no announcement about CS6. The best time to buy anything is when you need it.
Here's a link to the MC upsell from CS4 PP: http://amzn.to/tvwPq5

Upgrading from CS3 Design Premium to Illustrator CS6 standalone

Greetings,
I have Adobe CS3 Design Premium (I think-- it's one of the complete suites that includes Illustrator CS3). My license is an Education license. I also own Photoshop CS6 (standalone) with an Education license.
I'm wondering if i can purchase an upgrade to the standalone (not Creative Cloud) version of Illustrator CS6, at the Education price? If so what would the price be and how would I purchase it?
Thanks.

NorthOEK,
I am afraid the educational license of any kind is (still) outside any upgrade system.
You may try your luck on the download pages, or ask somewhere over there:

Upgrade from CS3 Design Premium to CS3.3

I downloaded the upgrade file and ran it, which de-installed Acrobat Pro 8 and installed Acrobat Pro 9. This went off without a hitch, so that's good. Is that it for the upgrade? I remember there being much more to do with the CS2.3 upgrade.

I don't understand why is it so difficult for some to find out what CS3.3 includes. When you click on the link to it from the main page you get an Adobe Store page which clearly states:
"Combines Adobe InDesign® CS3, Photoshop® CS3 Extended, Illustrator® CS3, Flash® CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver® CS3, and new Acrobat 9 Pro, and also includes Adobe Bridge CS3, Version Cue® CS3, Device Central CS3, and now Fireworks CS3."
So what's the problem? All this information is very easily accesible and very clear.

Upgrading from CS2 design premium to CS3 design premium

Can I just buy the upgrade? The phone customer service person said I could, but CS3 has programs CS2 doesn't (i.e. Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks). Does anyone have some insight on this?

Should make no difference. CS3 upgrade will give you Dreamweaver, Flash and now Fireworks. The upgrade is the same as the full version except for one imprtant detail: you'll need the Install disk and serial number from CS2.

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.

Multiple problems installing upgrade from CS5 Design Prem. to CS6 Design Prem.

I had started a thread a few days ago regarding problems that I was having while installing my upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium. Everything seemed to install fine with the exception of Acrobat X Pro. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4716847#4716847
I thought that I had resolved the issue through tech support, but apparently not. First of all, they had me install the trial version of Acrobat X which actually let me install with no errors. A couple of days passed and Acrobat asked if I would like to continue my trial or enter a serial number. I tried to use my serial that came with my upgrade but it rejected it, so I opted to continue the trial. Then earlier today as I was working in InDesign, upon launching I got a script error message.
Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS6\Flash\Flash-12.0.jsx
Line 153: if( app.name = = flashAppname && (module.name = = 'DefaultScript' II module.name = = 'Flash'))
Cannot open resource file.
After clicking OK it seemed to open InDesign fine and I was able to open files and go about working. While working I noticed that I had no effects in the dropdown menu under 'Object'. Tried the shortcut for them and nothing happened. I have yet to try to open any files containing effects (drop shadow or something) but am guessing that they will not work. My next course of action was to try to Uninstall and Re-Install. I removed CS6 and Acrobat X Pro from my computer and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner program. Then instead of installing the upgrade from the DVD, I decided to download the program from the Adobe LWS and give that a go thinking that maybe the download files are more up-to-date than the DVD that I recieved. Now it seems I am back to square one with the same problems (InDesign missing 'Effects' and who knows what else, and Acrobat X Pro failed to install), but this time I have diffent errors on the "error summary file" that shows up as a link in the "Installation Complete" dialog box. Sorry for being windy, but I really need to get this resolved. Thanks for any and all input. PC is Dell Precision T3500 running Windows 7 and is current on it's updates.

MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED

Hello,
I'm interested to find out how to MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED. Its my intention to buy the upgrade not thru
download, but purchasing the dvd's needed eventually used if necessary.
Thank you

No, forget it. Adobe only sells current versions. How would you even be able to buy a used upgrade that is tied to someone else's previous version? Makes no sense at all and is clearly a breach of the EULA - whoever may sell you this "upgrade" would have to include all his previous versions leading up to that point, making it a completely independent full license that has no relation whatsoever to your CS4. And you would still have to run the license transfer drill.

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012? I have not found the option to do so.

My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...). I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource. Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800. Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people. In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza. Not a bad deal. If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months. For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced. I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner. Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications. I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision. If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers. But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time. What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade. NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month. These Germans tend to hold grudges.

Am I still eligible for an upgrade from CS4 to CS5 from a PC to a Mac?

I am getting a new computer (PC to a Mac) and have CS4 Student Edition and want to upgrade to CS5 on my new Mac. Is that possible?
