Upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server

Hi,
I have been looking on adobe site to check if I can have an upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. I have Indesign CS3 license but need to migrate to Indesign CS5 server. Does anybody know whether it is possible to buy upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. Or will I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Any help on this is appriciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have been using Indesign CS3 for generating automated reports. These reports are large in numbers. Limitation with Indesign CS3 is it only allows single instance of the application. And hence I am forced to generate these reports in sequence using multiple servers. Indesign CS5 server on the other hand seems to allow multiple instances running at the same time. This would mean I can generate multiple reports at the same time. This will reduce time to generate these reports and also limit the number of servers. This is the reason I want to migrate from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. However, I am not sure if I can get direct upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server or I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Do you have any idea on this, please suggest. Thanks in advance for your response.
Regards,
Chaitan.

  • Upgrading From PS CS3 to PS CS5

    Hello all,
    When I upgraded from PS 7 to PS CS I don't reacll having to enter the serial # for PS7.  I believe PS CS picked it up automatically, not sure.  The updrade from CS to CS3 seemed to work in a similar fashion.  However, it's been a while and my memory could be failing.  But that's OK, I'll be ordering more modules soon.  Would that I could!
    I am presently working with an old but trusty Power Mac G5 and will soon be upgrading to a Mac Pro.  When I get the PS CS5 upgrade, can I install that on the Mac Pro and simply insert the Serial # for CS3, since CS3 will not be installed?  That sounds reasonable to me, but I'm sure there might be a glitch there somewhere.  I just checked PS CS3 and it seems that I have never registered it, will that csuse a problem?  I've been using it for more than 3 years, so is it too late to register?  I don't know how I missed that.
    Thank you,
    Gary

    Register EVERYTHING always. You never know when you may hit licensing and activation issues. I was on the phone just a couple weeks ago to sort out CS3 activations due a machine failure. Registering makes the Adobe customer service people, so much more helpful

  • File size comparisons, InDesign CS3, CS4 and CS5?

    Hi, all.
    It seems there was a trend for several major releases where each time Adobe released a new version of InDesign and InCopy, average file sizes grew by 20% or so from the old release to the new release, at least back in the older CS days. Has this trend continued, such that file sizes in CS4 are substantially larger than file sizes from CS3, and CS5 files are substantially larger than those from CS4?
    Adobe, of course, wants to keep writing functionality that will keep the user community coming back to buy in to upgrades. The added functionality sometimes comes at a cost beyond the price tag. If file sizes are larger in a newer version, then page saves over a network or to a database are likely to be slower, and user productivity takes a hit while users are waiting for files to be saved.
    Has anyone done any testing to build the "same" page in multiple versions of InDesign to understand what the effect is on the file sizes? I'm specifically interested in the file sizes between InDesign CS3, CS4 and CS5. To be meaningful, the test page would have to be at least moderately complex, with a couple of photos, multiple text elements and so forth. By "same," the page wouldn't take advantage of new functionality in newer versions but would be saved as a native page of the current version, though the file sizes may be bloated by the new functionality like it or not.
    If you've done any testing along these lines, I'd like to hear more about it.
    Thanks.

    The overall structure of ID's files have been exactly the same for -- as far as I can see back -- CS. No change at all, in there.
    There have been significant additions to the 'global' spaces; stuff like InCopy user data, table styles, object styles, and cross references. Each of these add a major chunk of data to each file, whether you use it or not, plus a few bytes per object (again, whether you use them or not -- ID also needs to know where you did not use them, that's why). I think these might be the main source of 'global' file size increase (a single object style in one of my files, for example, eats up a healthy chunk of 11,482 bytes).
    For the rest, all new stuff like 'span columns' is a handful of bytes per paragraph style. Tracking changes may very well double the size of text runs -- but 1 character takes up 1 byte of storage (plus perhaps some overhead of indicating its 'tracking' status). Any single measurement unit always uses 8 bytes at least (for example, the left inset for a column span -- even if it's not used, or set to 0pt).
    I think we're talking about a couple of K's here (oh -- perhaps a max of a hundred or so), in a file format that has been designed around the concept of "disk pages", each 4K big, meaning that sometimes adding one single character to a text box increases the file size by 4 K.
    Your idea of comparing the size of a file created in CS3 against the same saved as CS4 and as CS5 is certainly feasible -- I might try it some time, just to confirm it's purely the extra 'new objects' data that accounts for the size increase and to confirm my guesstimates of the number of Ks involved.

  • Should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 non extended

    hi im just wondering should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 NON extended...... would i loose options from my extended version?
    also i dont use photoshop cs3 that much, does anyone think its worth me upgrading?
    thanks
    lee

    Good day!
    I think I read that with 2013 the upgrade path would be shortened, so you are probably not eligible for upgrading anymore.
    Apart from that the benefit of purchasing the current version of Photoshop naturally depends on what you are doing with Photoshop (both in terms of which features you use and how much you use the application overall).
    Smart Objects have been improved quite a bit, Puppet Warp is an interesting feature, Configurator allows for the easy creation of custom Panels that can combine Tools, Commands, Actions etc.,  …
    But to judge the programm yourself you could just install the trial – mind you, the trial is Photoshop Extended, so you may want to consult the Reference on which features you would not get with Potoshop Standard.
    You might also want to look into Cloud Licensing – or at least »Adobe« wants you to …

  • Upgrading from Photoshop CS3 to CS6

    I am upgrading photoshop CS3 to CS6 on Windows 7.
    I have downloaded two files: Photoshop 13_LS16.exe and Photoshop_LS167z.
    However, it has not installed properly.
    I can only open CS6 if I click on the LS167z file with (open with PS).
    And although it opens I get the message: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
    CS3 is still as it was.

    Many thanks
    That makes everything clear.
    Also thanks for the deletes!

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

    I think so, but only via the Creative Cloud, and with a one year commitment. And that upgrade may be only for suites, not individual apps. I didn't look that closely. See the page here:

  • What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server)

    Hi
    What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server)  to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server) , please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.
    Regards
    Gaurav

    I'd suggest reading this guide to make sure you have prepared your environment to support 10.x first. The link below also contains the upgrade path to 10.0(1).
    One of the ways you can do this is:
    1/ Apply refresh upgrade cop file on all servers in cluster.
    2/ Upgrade the cluster to 8.6(2). Take a backup of the cluster.
    3/ Build a cluster of 8.6(2) servers on VMs, and assign them the same hostnames and IP address as the hardware cluster. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until switching off the hardware machines)
    4/ Restore the backup taken from the hardware cluster on to the VM cluster.
    5/ Upgrade VM cluster to 10.0(1).

  • PC crash... getinng back an InDesign CS6 version, which was an upgrade from a CS3 product... looks like the serial number I have is for the initial CS3

    I had InDesign CS3... which I upgraded in 2012 to CS6... two days ago my PC crashed... and I need to reload InDesign... I downloaded from Adobe.com InDesign CS6... but when entering my serial number, I got a message saying that my serial n° is valid but that there is no eligible product on my PC... I suspect that my serial n° is related to the initial C3 version I had bought... I guess that I could download CS3 from Adobe.com... and use my serial number... but how I do get back my CS6 upgrade? Thanks a million for any hlep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OK, here is the situation:
    * I am an Adobe customer
    * I bought in 2008 CSInDesign CS3 and I have the serial n° [removed by moderator] in my Adobe account (shows as Adobe InDesign, version = CS3, platform = Win)
    * In 2012, I upgraded my CS3 to CS6 and I have a serial n° [removed by moderator] for that in my Adobe account (shows as Adobe InDesign, version = 8.0, platform = Win)
    After my PC crash, I downloaded InDesign CS6 and use my serial n° of 2012. It doesn't work, as it says my product is not eligible.
    So, here is where I stand now...
    * I downloaded CS3 and used my serial n° for InDesign CS3. It works. I now have CS3 on my PC
    * How do I get back my 'upgrade from CS3 to CS6?
    * I have the serial number for that upgrage and I guess I need to download an "upgrade" file somewhere from Adobe. But I cannot find it, I found pages with upgrades, but there are so many different files, I do not have a clue which one to use;
    This is now my key question... can someone give me the link to access the file(s) I have to download to upgrade my InDesign CS3 version to InDesign CS6

  • Bridgetalk InDesign CS3 to Illustrator CS5?

    Is it possible to have these two programs communicate? Or will I have to use strictly the CS3 programs or CS5 programs? I simply want to click on a link in InDesign and have it open in Illustrator so I can edit it. Everything I've read hasn't really touched on interoperabilty of Bridgetalk between CS versions. Thanks.
    Nate

    Nate, Im at home now where my little mac has CS2 & CS5… This opened a selected PDF in AI CS5 from ID CS2 ( if it was already running )… If AI CS5 was not running bridgetalk did NOT launch it like I would normally expect… The message just queues until I launch it… Strange? I tested with both versions of AI running too and it was OK. I had the PDF selected with the direct selection tool…
    #target indesign
    indesignMain();
    function indesignMain() {
              if ( app.documents.length == 0 ) { return; }

  • Upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs5 photoshop

    I am trying to upgrade from Adobe photoshop cs3 extended to Adobe photoshop cs5
    extended and when I tried to put in serial number to install upgraded photoshop cs5 is did okay but it asked for the serial number from previous photosho
    p cs3 I get this "the serial number you entered is valid, but a qualifying product cann
    ot be found on this computer.
    Can someone please help me!!
    Thank you,

    Contact Adobe Support.   The Software disk may not need to be returned.  You might be able to simply purchase the proper license and perhaps pay the difference in cost -- they can tell you the options.  I believe that there is an upgrade path from academic software to a regular license.

  • Indesign CS3 & 10.6.2 server: file corruption

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems with one of our customer's setup. They're experiencing some sort of file corruption on Indesign CS3 files. These files are worked on by students in classrooms. At random, files won't open anymore in Indesign CS3 (or in CS4),so they need to start all over again. At first, file corruption occured seldom, but in the last few days I get too many reports. So I definately think something is at hand here.
    The students log in to their network home folders. Client and server(s) are mac os x 10.6.2.
    Clients / servers are fresh installed last x-mas. 2 fileservers (1 classroom, 1 homedirectory), 1 dedicated od server, 700 students, 45 classes. Both fileservers are new iron.
    Before this, I had the same setup in 10.4.11, and this worked flawlessly for almost two years. So I know I can work with this setup over a network.
    Before I start suspecting (and swapping) hardware, does anyone have pointers where to look or tests I could do?
    Much appreciated.
    Edgar

    Well, going back to 10.4 is not an option. The previous servers (PPC G5 xserves) running the 10.4 setup have been sold. Current hardware was delivered with only 10.6 software so that rules out switching back to 10.5 as well.
    You mention ACL's. I could dive into that. Since 10.5 Apple introduced default ACL's for the spotlight indexing process. The share is rather simple, it uses mainly posix permissions because it contains the homedirectories. In that perspective, the only change (besides a new afp stack) is the spotlight ACL. I could remove it, spotlight isn't running on that share.
    I don't think I can switch to SMB for the user homedir stuff. If it was a normal data share it wouldn't be a problem.
    Seems I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place..

  • Indesign Cs3 a Indesign Cs6

    tengo unos archivos en Indesign Cs3 y ahora tengo Indesign Cs6, al abrirlos en esta nueva version me cambia un poco los parrafos, pero el documento lo necesito tal y como esta el original. que debo hacer?
    I have some files and now I have Indesign Cs3 Indesign Cs6, when opened in this new version changed some paragraphs, but I need the document as this original. what should I do?
    [email protected]

    The text engines change from version to version and text can reflow when edited in a new version. If you need it to remain unchanged you should continue to work on these files in CS3.

  • Upgrading from CS4 Design Standard to CS5.5 Design Standard

    Hopefully a simple question. I am currently running CS4 Design Standard and wish to upgrade to CS5.5 Design Standard. My version of CS4 itself was an upgrade from the full installation version software of CS2 (I managed to skip the CS3 stage using a previous Adobe upgrade deal). Am I right in thinking that although the CS4 was an upgrade package it is now my 'standard platform' so to speak, and therefore I can use upgrade software again to take me up to CS5.5? I have the serial number for the CS4 software.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    That is correct. Make sure you get the right upgrade…there are several.

  • Upgrading from CS2 'Premium' to Photoshop CS5

    I have CS2 Premium and find that I have no use for much of the suite's products, though I use Photoshop quite a bit. I would like to upgrade to the new Photoshop CS5 and was wondering if I can do this from CS2 Premium? All I see in the "upgrade from" choices are Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop CS3 Extended, or Photoshop CS4, CS3, and CS2.
    So I don't know what to choose if I can even choose any of these upgrade paths.
    Anyone know?

    You cannot upgrade individual suite components.
