Upgrade from educational version

I graduated from the graphic design BFA program at RISD in
2006.
While there all GD students were required to purchase an
Apple laptop that came with a suite of design programs including
CS2.
I have a serial number for the CS2 suite, but not one
specifically for Fireworks.
I am now considering purchasing Fireworks CS4 for personal
use.
Is an educational serial number valid for upgrading?
If so, is it just for the entire CS suite, or can I piecemeal
it and just get FW?

You can, just wait for the trial to become available. Or if
your only
concern is Fireworks, download the public beta.

  • Upgrade from Education version

    Hi everybody! First of all, i hope you can excuse me for my not perfect english. I'm an italian student who bought CS5 Master Collection Education version two years ago.
    Now i would like to upgrade only Flash Builder from 4 Standard to 4.5 Standard.In the adobe's site I've seen an upgrade for the price of 47€ and i'm interested about it.
    In your opinion i can make this step or i'll have some problem?
    Thanks in advance..

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

  • FCP crossgrade from educational version one more question

    I just recieved my new MacBook Pro! I see that I need to upgrade my Educational version of FCP 4.5 HD to 5.1 along with the whole acedemic studio in oder to use it/ them on my new intel based computer. I also see that I should be able to upgrade/ cross grade from my Educational version. On the PDF instructions for the upgrade they list a number after Final Cut Pro Academic HD (M9153LL/B). My question is what does that number refer to, do I need that number printed on my install disk in order to upgrade? I have a different number printed on my install disc.
    Mike

    The number they're referring to is the retail part number for the software. As far as I know, its printed on the box the software was packaged in - probably also on your original invoice.

  • Upgrading from Trial version to Developer Edition

    We installed SQL server 2014 trial edition in 2014 and the trial period just expired. No longer access SQL server 2014. Also in 2014 I purchased the SQL server 2014 Developer Edition.
    I go in the maintenance section of SQL server 2014 and try to upgrade by entering my product key and get an error message that my product key is not valid. I called Microsoft and two different employees confirmed my product key is good.
    Should I be able to upgrade from Trial version to Developer Edition by simply entering my product key?
    Thank you

    Hi cguay01,
    As other post, you should be able to upgrade from Trial Edition to Developer Edition by entering product key from SQL Server setup wizard, you can follow the steps in this similar
    blog. You can also use the following command lines to upgrade SQL Server 2014 Trial to a full version.
    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=<MSSQLSERVER or instancename> /PID=<PID key for new edition>" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    According to your description, the issue that “product key is not valid” might be caused by several reasons such as corrupted installation file, antivirus scanning and so on. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this issue.
    1. Please ensure that your SQL Server installation file is not corrupted. If you are using ISO download, please copy the content of the ISO image to the local disk on your computer and upgrade SQL Server from there.
    2. Make sure you use corresponding license key matched the edition and version of SQL Server.
    3. Make sure that you don’t exceed the limit of allowed activations of the product key.
    4. Turn off any Anti-virus software when upgrading SQL Server.
    There is also a similar thread for your reference.

  • What is the least expensive way for me to upgrade from CS version 8 and buy InDesign too?

    What is the least expensive way for me to upgrade from CS version 8 and buy InDesign too?

    Unfortuneately, a full Creative Cloud subscription at $40/month, or buy the CS6 versions outright.

  • Upgrading from old versions

    A colleague and I have just received new PC's. They came with
    Microsoft Office 2003 pre-installed. Previously we were using
    Robohelp 2002 with MS Office 97. When I tried to install RH2002 on
    our new PC's it failed as the new MS Office was incompatible. So,
    we purchased upgrades to RH6. When I tried to install the upgrades
    that fails because we don't have an old version of RoboHelp
    installed. The installer prompts for a serial number/key for RH X5,
    which we don't have. I spoke to Adobe Tech support who said I
    needed to talk to Customer Support, who said I should talk to Tech
    Support......
    At the moment I can't install my old RH because of MS Office
    2003, so I can't upgrade to RH6 which I need to support MS Office
    2003. Has anyone ecountered a similar problem in the past? What it
    Adobe provide as the solution?
    TIA
    Mick Mathers

    They don't have X5 Colum.
    Mick, you could be in trouble here. You can upgrade from any
    version. I am not sure if you have to go via Support if it is
    earlier than X5 but the issue here is that you don't have your 2002
    serial number to start with. The link below tells you what to do
    but because your version is outside the parameters, it maybe that
    Adobe cannot help you if you did not register.

  • Upgrading from educational to commercial versions?

    I currently have Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 Education version that I purchased in 2003 when I was still a student. I am upgrading to a new iMac and want to upgrade my CS software to the Intel-friendly CS4 Design Premium. Adobe is running a great deal on upgrades (CS3 upgrade rate from any version of Creative Suite, not just CS3) that I would like to take advantage of, but no one at the Apple store seems to know if I can upgrade from an Educational suite to a Commercial suite at these rates. I am no longer a student, and would be using the CS software to create for-profit pieces.
    So, to boil it down, will the $599 upgrade work for Educational-to-Commercial, or do I have to start from scratch with the $1,800 suite? That's a big difference in price, and I'd hate to buy the upgrade only to find out it doesn't work and I have to shell out for the whole shebang.
    Thanks for your help!

    Be sure you buy the correct upgrade package CS to CS4 and do it before April 31 which is when tiered pricing kicks in and it will cost $200 more.
    Also CS is the last upgradable version Adobe only goes 3 versions back as soon as CS5 is released CS will no longer be eligible.

  • Upgrade from Educational License?

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know the detail on upgrading from an educational version to a fully licensed version of software? I've switched from PC to Mac and no longer have use for my PC version of CS4. I believe that I need to upgrade it before I'm able to sell it to someone else.
    Thanks!

    You can't transfer an academic license and simply transferring from Win
    to Mac doesn't change it. You can't just upgrade it since you're already
    as CS4.
    Call Adobe for all of your options.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from Student version Lightroom 3 to a private Lightroom 5?

    I'm trying to find out if I can upgrade from my student version of Lightroom 3 to a private version of Lightroom 5, or do I have to buy the whole version of Lightroom 5? I would like to be sure about which to buy before I make a purchase and obviously make a saving if I can just purchase the upgrade.

    You can simply buy the upgrade, no need to buy the complete version.

  • How to tell if Yosemite is clean install or upgrade from previous version

    My brand new MacBook Pro arrived last week, with Yosemite already installed on it.
    Having issues with WiFi (after coming out of sleep mode, mbp keeps its self-assigned address rather than getting an address though DHCP or using its old address), I was searching for support on the matter, and one of the solutions often suggested was doing a clean install of Yosemite if the mbp was upgraded from 10.9.
    Seeing that the mbp arrived with Yosemite pre-installed, I'm guessing that it is a clean install, but I'm not sure.
    I wonder if there is a way in telling if the OS was upgraded to the current major version, or if it's a clean install? Even if Apple only ships clean installs, it would be helpful to know if I need to give support to one of the mac-users in our company if it's a clean install or not.

    On my system, the Yosemite upgrade (performed on Oct. 23) left quite a bit of residue that would not be present after a clean install.  The most obvious examples are in /var/db/receipts, which contains BOM files for all of the software installed via the Mac OS installer, e.g.,
    -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     98584 Oct 20 08:49 com.apple.pkg.update.lion.appstore.155-2.bom

  • Upgrade from PC version of Logic 5 Gold?

    I was one of the unfortunate people who bought Logic 5 Gold a few weeks before Apple bought Emagic and promptly announced that the PC version would be discontinued. Now that I'm a Mac owner I'd quite like to upgrade to Logic 8.
    Does the upgrade version of Logic Studio let me upgrade from my PC version?

    try to instal Logic Gold
    it works on Leopard by using rosetta on Intel macs (native on power Mac G4 and G5)
    I just try to open Logic 5 on my G5
    if Logic Gold can be opened and works without warnings, your XSkey is perfect for upgrade... for sure!
    you can also ask for XSkey driver that should be somewhere in the Apple website ... the drivers show you if your key is in perfect working order or require firmware upgrade

    Hi,
    Incase of upgrade there are two types of upgrade,
    1. Unicode error upgrade.
    2. Non-unicode upgrade.
    What is the difference between SAP UNICODE and NON-UNICODE UPGRADE?
    UNICODE: From Release 6.10, ABAP supports multi-byte coding for characters in Unicode.  Prior to Release 6.10, ABAP used only character sets that were based on single-byte codes u2013 such as ASCII and EBCDIC u2013 or double-byte codes, such as SJIS and BIG5.
    NON-UNICODE: This non-unicode error removal is just to replace any obsolete commands or function modules, tables such as, WS_UPLOAD, UPLOAD, etcu2026
    I have not worked on UNICODE upgrade, so i could not be alble to tell you anything regarding that.
    Normally the below kinds of work comes in a Non-unicode upgrade:
    Tables: Replacing TVARV by TVARVC  -> Table of variant (MANDT fld added)
            Replacing SADR by ADRC  -->address mgmt company data
    Tables: Field Changing table  BKPF - Acc doc header
                                 T001 - Company Codes
    Replacing  obsolete DOWNLOAD Fm with Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG;
                                               GUI_DOWNLOAD as per usage.
    Replacing  obsolete UPLOAD Fm with Method   CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG;
                                               GUI_UPLOAD as per usage.
    Replacing  obsolete WS_DOWNLOAD Fm with FM GUI_DOWNLOAD as per usage.
    Replacing  obsolete WS_UPLOAD Fm with FM GUI_UPLOAD as per usage. 
    Replacing  obsolete WS_EXECUTE Fm Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
    Replacing  obsolete WS_FILENAME_GET as per MODE Option. replaced by Method
                                -->CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG 
                                -->CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG 
    FM POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_LOSS_OF_DATA is obsolete.  replacing by POPUP_TO_CONFIRM
    FM POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_STEP is obsolete.          replacing by POPUP_TO_CONFIRM
    FM POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_WITH_MESSAGE is obsolete.  replacing by POPUP_TO_CONFIRM
    DIAGONSE_TEXT -> SE61
    o ANSWER - J N A
    N ANSWER - 1,2,A
    FM WS_QUERY is obsolete.  replacing by CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_EXIST    
                                          CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_EXIST

    PARAMETERS  in FM's.
