Upgrade from GoLive Cs2 to Dreamweaver

Can I upgrade from Golive CS2 to DW CS3 using DW SC3 upgrade
package or do I have to buy the full blown DW CS3 software?

I believe you need to buy the full version from what I am
seeing on the website. However, in this case I would recommend
contacting the Adobe sales team as their may be unadvertised
promotions for switching from GL to DW.

  • Migrating GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver 8

    Am looking for some resources with tips on migration of sites
    from GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver. E.g. conversion of site tips,
    template conversion etc.
    Found a Dreamweaver Technote:
    How
    to convert an existing site into a Dreamweaver site
    ... am thinking it might be best to redo the entire site? Has
    anyone gone through site conversions from GoLive?

    Are you sure you would get an .ste file at the end of this
    process? Or
    would you just get a DW site?

    Does GL use .lbi files?

  • Cannot direct upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended

    Despite the information in various spots on Adobe's website, it appears that it's not possible to simply upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended. After entering the CS5 serial number, the installer asks for the serial number of a "qualifying product". This includes a dropdown list that only has
    Photoshop CS5
    Photoshop CS4 Extended
    Photoshop CS3 Extended
    Here's the view:
    Entering the CS2 serial number == fail.
    A call to Adobe support get past this issue, basically reading out a challenge/response from the installer to the guy on the phone. But this seems remarkably stupid to me. Was it really more effective to force me (and anyone else following this upgrade path) to call tech support just to install the software I just past $350 for? And if this was the plan, why not SAY SO ON THE ADOBE WEBSITE?!?
    Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, was calling tech support the only way out?

    You are correct in wishing Adobe made it clear that you do need to go through Customer Service to accomplish this.
    Most users make the purchase through Adobe and straighten this out before installing.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?   Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

    I think you are missing my point.
    For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
    And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

  • Problem upgrading from Photoshop CS2 to CS4 Extended

    I purchased the retail box Photoshop CS4 Extended Upgrade (Windows) from a retail store ($349.99 + tax). I am upgrading from Photoshop CS2 and this is the version that the Adobe website says to purchase for this upgrade path. The problem is that CS4 doesn't see my installed, working, activated, and registered CS2 installation so it brings up the next screen offering to allow me to install it as a trial version OR list my qualifying product and serial number. The way that it offers to let me enter my qualifying product is via a drop down box with a single entry of CS3 Extended. No way of entering my CS2 there and it doesn't like my CS2 serial number entered with a CS3 product being shown there (says it isn't a valid CS3 serial number...of course it isn't). Does anyone know how to get this thing to install? Adobe tech support is gone until Monday and then I'll be at work, unable to try anything they might suggest.
    Why does Adobe make upgrades so painful? I remember CS2 was a PITA and took Adobe tech support a week to figure out how to get it to install.

    No, this shouldn't be extended to extended (I wouldn't expect to shell out $350 twice for extended). This is Adobe P/N 65015396 which their website says is for PhotoShop CS, CS2, CS3, and CS3 upgrades and retails for $350. The face of the box is identified as Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended Windows and the side of the box only says that I must have an "eligible older version of Adobe or Macromedia software." It also says to check the website, which says this P/N is what to buy for my upgrade path. A mess? YES!!!

  • How to Upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5

    I had been using CS 2 since 2005 and though it is still a very good application I have been frustrated by the need to frequently renew the activation.So removed it from my system early this year ( 20100 and used another application. However having tried CS5 on a friends PC I was  impressed and decided to purchase the upgrade from CS2 to CS5. I would like to kow if I have to reinstall CS2 or can clean install CS5 which I would prefer.?

    Thanks for the help your answer was the best.
    As a follow up I would like to ask how to avoid having to frequently reactivate CS5 which was my big problem in CS2/ My system is mission critical it has four bootable system disks and one non-bootable common disk (for temp, Internet cache and installation files. Using a "CasperSDB3" I backs up the active drive every night to an identical drive, which as just previously backed up to an external SATA drive. So in this way I have a highly secure grandfather son grandson set of bootable drives. The trouble with APS CS2 was that after having to recover about four times in five years the CS2 application when loaded would say that the serial number was not recognized and I had to have a lengthy phone call to Adobe support.
    Is there a way to avoid this in CS 5?

  • Upgrading from Photoshop CS2 to CS4

    Due to having PowerPC machines we're unable to use Photoshop CS5 so we want to upgrade as far as we can, which is CS4. The Adobe store doesn't seem to sell CS4 any more, so we're looking at buying through a third-party vendor. Vendors sell both CS4 Full Versions and Upgrades; would we be able to use an Upgrade version with a CS2 serial number? Thanks!

    An upgrade should work for you, because you are less than three versions behind CS4, which is Adobe's usual limitation rule.
    Just be sure you get it from an authorized reseller - there is a lot of fake and damaging software out there...

  • HELP!!!! GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver CS4

    I've been using Go Live for sometime I've just purchased a new computer and upgraded all of my softwarre. Go Live won't work on the new computer so I'm having to work out how to use Dreamweaver which is a pain! As a priority I'd like to convert all sites I've produced in GoLive to Dreamweaver. So far I'm not having much luck, possibly due to the unfamiliarity with Dreamweaver. Can someone give me a dummys guide to converting the Go Live sites over to Dreamweaver.
    Thanks
    Mark

    MAB34,
    GLCS2 has been running fine on 10.6.7 for me on a 27" iMac (2010) so I would think it should work for you.
    It won't work on Lion of course but since your post was before Lion was released this obviously isn't your problem.

  • Possible Upgrading From Free Trial Version Dreamweaver To Full Upgarded Version

    Hello
          Is this at all possible to achieve.  Thank you Jon.

    Yes. If you go to the store and check out, you are given a serial number at the end of the process which you can enter into the demo where it asks to continue using the demo or enter serial number.
    If you are planning on purchasing a suite that includes Dreamweaver, then the answer is no.  Suite serial numbers will not work on individual trials so you would need to install via the Creative Suite Installer either via Download or disc depending on your purchase.

  • GoLive CS2 to DreamWeaver CS3

    Running OS 10.4.9
    I am so angry. When did Adobe get like MicroSoft?
    I got the extension to convert GL to DW. It stalls right near
    the end, and tells me, on two separate warning boxes, that an
    ".ibi" file cannot be copied. The process locks up GL for a few
    minutes, each time, and then it progresses to the end of the
    export. All the files seem to be there, except my old Templates,
    and such. But the ".ste" file does not show up.
    1. What's the cure?
    2. Is there another way to import the site?
    Thanks so much.
    Note: I am running the Trial, until I can determine that I
    can make the transition). Adobe says that the extension is not
    available to the public (I Googled for it) and so gives me the run

    dedicated to a licensed version?

  • GoLive CS2 DOES run on Windows 7 Ultimate  64bit

    I recently purchased CS6 Master Collection for a new workstation, determined to finally make the switch from GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver CS6. I built my first web site with GoLive, and although I chose at the time to forego all of GoLive's drag and drop capability, choosing instead to code my HTML and CSS by hand, I did learn early on to take full advantage of the Template functionality, a real timesaver. Regardless of what ANYBODY says about the migration path from GoLive to Dreamweaver, NONE of them work worth a damn, and as a career SW engineer, I think it's sorry that Adobe hasn't done better, because they could have. Like many of you long-time GoLive users out there, I searched the internet and this forum high and low for a single helpful post that would allow me to migrate my web sites to DW. The migration tools Adobe provides, both the one for GoLive CS2 to export a DW site (yeah, right) and the extension for DW CS6, are all but useless. The one for GoLive skips template files and deletes code from the HTML. The one in DW CS6 complains about 'locked regions' in templates, just before it crashes. It never even completes. In trying to migrate my site, Adobe couldn't even handle  a site made up of pure HTML, CSS, and a little handcoded Javascript thrown in, and which uses ONLY templates (no components, snippets, or dropped items, or special GoLive generated code). It would take me weeks to do this by hand.
    Well, since I don't have 2 weeks or a month to fix a web site that already works, I focused on getting GoLive CS2 to run on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS, since I had been hearing rumors of problems, or where it didn't run at all. However, with the help of many others, and in particular a forum contributor called Cinti on a Microsoft forum, of all places (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/windows-7-is-n ot-compatible-with-adobe-photoshop/6f1b4955-7166-4b8f-ad9b-5d19150f803f?page=2), I was able to get GoLive loaded and working without any issues, just as it did under Windows XP Pro. I had a bit of an issue, however, since I found out when I upgraded from CS to CS2 way back when that the installer would not actually read from a CD drive, even though you must insert Disk 1 of CS in a CD drive for verification of your upgrade, unless you already have CS installed on your machine, which I didn't in this case. If you face this problem, here is what I did to make it work, and this is prior to the hint needed that Cinti provided
    (1) Create an ISO image of the CS Installation Disk 1 and save it to your hard drive somewhere. You can do this with most CD/DVD burning SW, like Nero, Roxio, etc. Just create a standard ISO image file. It's a file with an .iso extension, and is basically an image of the CD, but not one that Explorer can browse.
    (2) Download a free copy of Daemon Tools lite (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/products/dtLite), which has the capability to 'mount' this ISO image, and present it to your OS as a real (actually virtual) CD drive. This allows the installer to be able to read from a CD drive,  since it can't read from an actual physical CD drive on your system. I got this whole workaround about using a virtual CD from Adobe, btw, so it's a known problem.
    This will let you get your upgrade verification out of the way, if you run into it. Next, the CS2 installer will present you with a screen asking where you'd like to install the CS2 program files. The default it shows (at least for me) is C:\Program Files\Adobe. However, on Win7 64bit, this folder is reserved for ONLY 64 bit applications. There is another folder, C:\Program Files (x86) that is reserved for 32 bit applications, like GoLive. Unfortunately, as Cinti correctly points out, if you put this text in the box, the installer complains about invalid characters. Cinti also added two too many characters in the name before the ~ too, it can only have 8 total (as part of the 8.3 file naming syntax), and since the 64 bit folder is Progra~1, the one we want is Progra~2. What I found that works is the following:
    (1) When the dialog appears asking for the folder in which to install CS2, click on Browse, and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86), which is then filled into the box automatically for you.
    (2) Edit that text to read (exactly) C:\Progra~2\Adobe CS2. If you do anything other than this, the Next button will not be active. If that happens, just restart the installer and try again.
    (3) Click Next to continue with the installation. At this point, you might want to select only GoLive to install, unless you want all of CS2 to install.
    Upon completion, I found that GoLive works as expected without issue. I'm very happy now, and can focus on more important things than trying to do Adobe's job of migration for them. Perhaps by CS 13 Adobe will have fixed their miserable migration scripts. In the meantime, why not just "Don't worry, be happy!"
    Cheers,
    Shane

  • Why am I having performance Issues with an upgrade from CS2 to CS5.5?

    I am struggling hard with an upgrade from InDesign CS2 to CS5.5 (part of CS5.5 Design Standard)
    There is a very slow response when trying to produce a 45 page document which needs many .jpeg images inserting, sometimes up to six on each 3-column page. While InDesign behaves sort of normally on text only pages, it slows to a virtual standstill when on the pages with images. (But this is what its for and I didn't have this problem with CS2!!)
    Having read through some of the postings on this topic I have followed all the advice without success :-( 
    1) disable LSD in Preferences – Interface
    2) disable thumbnail display in Pages
    3) adjust view settings to Typical with Raster and Vector Images greyed out
    4) disable Save Preview Images with Documents
    5) check Links before opening documents
    7) switch Preflight off
    I shouldn't need to do all this should I???
    I am operating with the following:
    Packard Bell ixtreme M5740 64 bit
    Intel Core i5 CPU [email protected]
    4.0 GB RAM
    ATII Radeon HD5570 graphics card 2779 MB available memory, 1024MB dedicated
    plenty of free space – 274GB on c: drive and 296 GB on a D: drive
    My hardware conforms to/exceeds the Indesign recommended hardware spec. Oh yes I am working on my local drive and  I don't have these problems with Photoshop or Illustrator CS5.5.
    Has anyone an idea about what's going on?
    I've lost a good 6-8 hours so far trying to sort it out. Any help and observations will be gratefully received!

    Hi Peter
    Thanks - I've found that the files were marked as 'hidden' and thus by switching them on gain I was able to recreate the original location.  Regrettably this has had absolutely no effect on my problem. :-( 
    I have now created a  fresh document, studiously linking all my images properly  (similar number to a DK 'Eyewitness Travel Guide') and by the time I got halfway through its 80 pages, InDesign had slowed to a crawl - ie 15-20 seconds to respond to any command.  It is clearly doing something that it thinks necessary despite all the 'workarounds' people have suggested. Please please Adobe what's going on???

  • Upgrade from CS2 to CS5 multi-questions

    A few questions actually..
    I very recently just bought an upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5. Everything went well but I don't understand a few, possibly trivial, things.
    During the installation process, I in no way had to supply information about my CS2 licence to prove that I even have it. How do you guys make sure that someone who doesn't own a previous version of Photoshop isn't saying that they want an upgrade, thus avoiding the full price of the product?
    Also, when you upgrade, does your old previous version license become deactivated? Are you suppossed to remove it from your computer or some other process?
    Lastly, when I downloaded the upgrade, I downloaded both CS5 for 32 and 64 bit by default as they were both there. Do I need both on my computer and what's the difference between using/having the two?
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit to clarify.
    Thanks in advance!

    If you purchased and upgrade then it should ask for a qualifying serial number.  It is also possible you purchased an upsell which means you were basically given a copy of the full version at a discounted price.  The qualification process is done when you purchase the software.
    You can continue to use your CS2 license.  You can not however sell it as it is qualifying you to utilize CS5.
    For questions about 64-bit I would recommend reviewing http://blogs.adobe.com/scottbyer/2006/12/64_bitswhen.html
