Upgrade from Design Premium CS4 to Production Premium CS5

Will InDesign, Fireworks, and Dreamweaver still function from Design CS4 to Production CS5? I have heard conflicting advise that the upgrade will void those applications?? Thanks.

The upgrade will not touch the earlier version. Whoever told you otherwise was incorrect.

  • 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!
    Steve

    If you're working with epubs, definitely upgrade!  Here's an article that lists the new features.

  • 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.

  • Upgrade to CS5 production from design premium CS4

    Is it possible to upgrade to CS5 production from design premium CS4 and not loose the ability to use CS4 software such as indesign & fireworks?
    Thank you.
    Bobby

    Hi Bob
    Thank you for your reply.
    I do have an eligable copy of design premium and was about to purchase an upgrade to post production under that presumption.
    After talking to the live Adobe chat person "Janet" I was left with the impression that CS4 collapses upon installation of CS5 and therefor unable to use indesign CS4 anymore.
    Adobe do not seem to detail anywhere on the website this is true or not, which is making it difficult for me to upgrade to the correct suite package.
    Thanks

  • Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

    Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
    My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
    I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
    I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

    Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

  • 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.

  • Help upgrading to CS6 from Adobe Design Premium CS5

    I have Adobe Design Premium CS5. Is there a way to upgrade to CS6 online? Does anything need to be purchased to do this?

    Yes, you need to purchase CS6 as an upgrade version (upgrades are not the same thing as updates).

  • Looking to upgrade from Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium to the latest.

    I am looking to upgrade from Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium to the latest. We are running on an isolated network without access to the Internet. Looking for advise on how best to proceed.

    As far as upgrading goes, you will not have that option for CS3 as it is not in the upgrade path for CS6.  You will have to purchase the full version of CS6.  I don't know if buying the disk is still an option, but if you have to you can download the installation file(s) and copy to a removeable media and install using that.  In order to activate it you will have to perform an offline activation.
    Here are some links that might be of help...

  • Design Premium CS5.5 and plan to upgrade to CS6

    I have Design Premium CS5.5 and plan to upgrade to CS6.
    May I still use CS5.5 on my laptop?

    doctordun is talking about an UPGRADE to CS6.
    That's clear from the first post. I'm am too.
    The licensing system for CS6 is different than for previous versions, as will be made clear in the forthcoming announcement,
    I'll await the changes in CS6 with interest.
    I know about the forthcoming change to one-version-back for upgrades but I'm not aware of any EULA changes yet.
    "Once I've upgraded, can I use, sell, or transfer the previous versions of the software?
    No. Purchasing an upgrade to your product extends your existing license to cover the new version of Adobe software. It does not provide you with two separate licenses for the old version and the new version" [FAQ]
    From clause 5 of the EULA
    http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Gen_WWCombined-20110105_1512.pdf
    5. Updates
    If the Software is an Update to a prior version of Adobe software (the "Prior Version"), the following apply:
    Your use of this Update is conditional upon your retention of the Prior Version. Therefore, if you validly transfer this Update pursuant to Section 4.6, you must transfer the Prior Verision along with it. If you wish to use this Update in addition to the Prior Version, you may only do so on the same Computer on which you have installed and are using the Prior Version...."
    If this wording remains unchanged for the CS6 EULA, that tells me that it's OK to have CS5.5 and the CS6 upgrade installed on two computers and use both CS5.5 and CS6 on each computer.
    I do so daily with CS4 and CS5.
    Given the above from the EULA, it seems that the FAQ should remove the word "use" from the question.

  • When/how do i download the CS6 upgrade promised by deal on Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.5?

    Hello
    I purchased from Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.5 Student Edition. The deal Adobe had promised was a free upgrade to CS6 as soon as it became available to do so, if i bought the package before a stated date, i did so and installed it. My question is how (or when) do i access my free download of CS6 versions of the software contained within Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.5. My pruchase of the product hinged on this promised free upgrade so it is very important to me to find out how/when i can expect the download.
    yours sincerely
    Edward Dillon

    If you purchased CS5.5 within the offer period then you might have already been upgraded to CS6. However, you don't have to worry at all.
    For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.
    Just let them know the issue, and they will help you out.

  • Adobe Design Premium CS5 Upgrade

    Hello
    I have been asked to Upgrade one of the Products In Adobe Design Premium and would like to know if this can be done without affecting the other products.
    I have been asked to install InDesign CS6 upgrade for this product.
    How will this affect the other Design Premium CS5 Suite products or is it best to upgrade the whole Suite to CS6.
    Thank You for any help.

    I have been asked to install InDesign CS6 upgrade for this product.
    Cannot be done.

    Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from an earlier Creative Suite edition to an individual CS component?
    No. Adobe does not offer upgrade pricing for customers wishing to move from a suite edition to an individual CS component. For complete upgrade information for the product you are interested in, consult the upgrade eligibility chart on that product's buying guide page.
    If all you want is InDesign CS6 then you can either
    Pay full price for standalone InDesign CS6
    Take out a Single App subscription for the Cloud version of InDesign CS6 alone

  • 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

  • Design Premium CS5 incremental upgrade

    I really don't want CC.  Is it possible to upgrade my CS5 to CS 5.5 only?  I previously have used Design Premium CS5 suite.

    Hi 2000Tele,
    Unfortunately we do not have any option to upgrade to CS5.5. However you may upgrade to CC Team with special offer pricing. Please check your eligibility by clicking on the link provided: https://creative.adobe.com/join/team_offer .
    If you wish to purchase CS5.5 then I would suggest to check with your local Adobe reseller.

  • Design Premium CS5.5 upgrade

    I have Design Premium CS5.5 and plan to upgrade to CS6.
    May I still use CS5.5 on my laptop?

    I thought as much, but I can't find it documented anywhere. I actually have three places I would like Design Premium on. I have a Imac, a laptop and my grandson has his Imac.
    I was hoping that by having both CS5.5 and CS6, I might make this happen.
