Upgrade Gurus- CS 5 volume license, CS 5.5 retail upgrade can't install, upgrading to CS 6?

Hi,
   I have run into a very interesting problem at work and need confirmation about some information I received.  We have six computers with various versions of Creative Suite 5 (Design Standard, Master Collection, etc.) installed on these computers.  These are all volume licensed projects.  A few years ago we puchased Creative Suite 5.5 upgrades.  These upgrades are retail licenses.  We have recently purchased new computers and tried to install Creative Suite 5.5 on them.  However, Adobe is telling us that because Creative Suite 5 was a volume license and the Creative Suite 5.5 upgrade was a retail license, we could only perform this upgrade once.  This means only our old computers can have CS 5.5 installed and our new computers are stuck with CS 5.  Which is just wrong.  However, we are sick of wasting time with Adobe and are willing to upgrade our new computers to CS 6 (and get rid of the old computers).  So here is the question- can we purchase CS 5.5 to CS 6 upgrades (retail license of course) and just use the CS 5.5 serial numbers when we upgrade our CS 5 computers to CS 6? 
Cliff Notes:  Do I need CS 5.5 installed in order to use a CS 5.5 to CS 6 upgrade or do I just need the CS 5.5 serial numbers?

I have the same issue. Cleaner tool does not hetl, at least in my case. Do you mean that the whole CS5.5 Master Collection should be uninstalled? I have tried everything else:
I tried to uninstall, but Flash Builder was not listed among the programs, maybe I have uninstalled it earlier or it is inclkuded in CS5.5
I deleted all Flash Builder related files, no help
Then I deleted all Flash Builder related registry entries, no success
Finally I downloaded the cleaner tool, its action options do not include anything Flash Builder Releted.
I simply can't get rid of the conflicting version

  • Windows 8.0 Volume License machines reboot and windows 8.1 is installed??

    We are a small private university with 484 computers running Windows 8.0 with MAK key.
    This week we have had 2 Windows 8.0 computers spontaneously upgrade to Windows 8.1.
    Since we do have a windows 8.1 MAK key all we had to do was enter the correct key and the computers were fine but everything I am reading about Volume Licensing says that this is not an upgrade path for Windows 8.1.
    Is Microsoft pushing out Windows 8.1 slowly to volume licensed computers on Windows 8.0, or is this just some sort of anomaly that may happen occasionally.
    One of our operators reported that the usual blue banner prompting upgrade appeared the day before but did not have an option on the banner to deny the upgrade.  The next morning when she booted the computer, Windows 8.1 installed and we had to enter
    the 8.1 MAK key and all appears to be well.
    This is not really a complaint, just that we were VERY surprised when it happened, hoping it was not some sort of hack by a third party.

    Hi,
    I don't know how useful this information will be for that many machines. This was also observed on 8.1 Pro, not Enterprise, but here is what I found while doing multiple different upgrades... just so I could figure out how to stop them...
    Windows Update KB2973544 triggers Win 8.1 to automatically install.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2973544
    In addition, KB3008273 appeared in Nov. 2014, which is also related to the automatic installation of Win 8.1...  It actually replaces KB2973544.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3008273
    Windows Update KB2871389 makes Win 8.1 available in the Store, and is a prerequisite for  KB2973544 and\or KB3008273. You might uninstall it also.
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2871389/en-us
    I have found that the installation of KB2973544 and\or KB3008273 create Scheduled Tasks in Task Scheduler under *** Microsoft \ Windows \Setup***
    They are...** 8.1 Auto Install Ping** and **8.1 Auto Install V2**. They are scheduled for 8pm Daily.
    I clicked on both and selected "RUN", as I didn't want to wait several hours to see what happened... A download started immediately.
    After downloading for about an hour, I restarted the machine to see what would happen... The download resumed quickly after the restart.
    After the download started again, there were two more Scheduled Tasks added to the same location....   **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task**... which was running, and  
    **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Store Resume Task**... which is *Ready*, but has NEVER run.      There was a Service *Modern Setup Host* running in Taskmanager.
    ***I have found that the only way to stop the installation of Win 8.1 once the Scheculed Task ....   **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task** is indicating "At Logon" for it's Trigger,
    is to end all the tasks showing, starting with that one, and then the ** 8.1 Auto Install Ping** and **8.1 Auto Install V2**.
    After Ending the tasks Delete them...
    After deleting the Tasks, I had to go to C:\ $Windows.~BT, which is a Hidden File, and delete anything that has a recent date... especially the .esd file (Install.esd) of 2.67GB..
    I deleted anything that was newer than one week. You could probably delete everything inside the *Sources*, *Support*, and *Drivers* folders...
    Also uninstall the mentioned KB's, starting with the newest, and doing the KB2871389 last, as it requires a reboot.
    Any attempt to reboot the machine before doing this results in the installation of Win 8.1 starting...
    If you were to End the tasks and disable or delete them while the **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task** is still showing a
    Date and Time for it's trigger, deleting the $Windows.~BT files may not be necessary.
    The biggest issue with this process is that you may be denied access to the $Windows.~BT folder. If that is the case, you will need to take Ownership of it.
    If you disable and delete the Scheduled Tasks, and uninstall the previously mentioned KB's shortly after selecting *Remind Me Later*
    THE FIRST TIME, the process will be stopped, and it won't be necessary to delete anything in the $Windows.~BT folder.
    You should have about 24 hours to do this.
    After uninstalling the KB's and deleting the scheduled tasks, a new scheduled task has appeared.
    It is *Pre-Staged GDR Notification*, and is scheduled to run at  *8PM of Every Thursday of Every Week*. My guess was that this is to remind you to install the Win 8.1 Update.
    It actually causes another task to be created... *Windows Upgrade Notification Task*... It runs at the *Log On of Any User*
    I couldn't get this task to show a notification. The task ran when I did it manually, but generated an error message in the log... *Specified Module Could Not Be Found  (0x8007007E)  Windows Upgrade Notification*      
    This is most likely because the KB's have been uninstalled.
    I'm sure they can be disabled as well, if you want to stop\prevent the reminders.
    I know that once Win 8.1 Update actually installs, those scheduled tasks no longer exist. In fact, the entire SETUP folder disappears.

  • Can't install upgrade

    After downloading 1.01 installer says I can't install because it's not needed. But my version is 1.0
    Also, upgrade does not appear in software update.
    Should I reinstall?

    make sure you didn't move the program or install it in a location other then your application folder (where the program wants to install)
    things work better that way

    The installer is the same for all countries. You choose the Language in the first screen of the installer.

  • Can't install/upgrade Flash Player

    Installed Safari 3 Public Beta. Strange Flash player behavior. Tried upgrading, didn't work. Tried uninstall. Now Flash Player will not install, not even with manual install.
    Any ideas?

    For whatever reason, my permissions were no longer correct after installing 10.4.10 and Safari 3. Used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then successfully re-installed Flash Player.

  • Can't install upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Acrobat XI Pro

    I have Acrobat XI Standard installed on a new Dell Windows 7 PC. I just purchased an upgrade to Acobat XI Pro. I paid $199 and successfully downloaded the installation file from www.adobe.com.
    When I try to install the package, the installation proceeds through a few standard screens (e.g., the Welcome screen), and then I receive a setup error:
         "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate."
    Clearly, Acrobat XI Standard is not a more functional product than Acrobat XI Pro. How do I get around this error so that I can install the upgrade?

    Hey habilock,
    The reason why you are getting this error is that you are attempting to install Acrobat XI pro over XI standard, but you cannot install the same version of Pro over Standard.
    If they are different versions (like Acrobat Pro XI over Acrobat X), then it would work.
    You can also check the following link that clearly specifies that there is no such upgrade option of Acrobat XI over Standard:
    Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
    For more details on the same, you can refer another forum link discussing the same issue:
    setup has detected you already have a more functional product installed....
    Hope that helps.

  • When I try to upgrade icloud storage I get an "unknown error" message. I can't install the software upgrade or back up my phone. HELP!

    Need help with icloud storage

    Not sure if you are trying to upgrade iCloud storage to make more room for the upgrade, but that won't help you. If you do not have enough room on your device for the upgrade, then you have to delete some things off of your device. You can also try to do the upgrade via iTunes on the computer you sync with. A direct upgrade does not require as much memory as a Wifi upgrade.
    Upgrading iCloud storage only provides more storage for your backups and for your iCloud sync'd items like messages, contacts, etc.
    Until the iCloud Drive is fully functional, iCloud will not help you to increase the memory capacity of your device.
    And, right now, the iCloud servers may just be overloaded with activity.
    Cheers,

  • CS3 to CS5 - can't install upgrade

    I'm trying to install my PS CS5  Extended upgrade on my desktop running Vista. I now have CS3 Extended on  the machine and activated. When I try to install the CS5 upgrade, I  first get a message that no qualifying product is found on my machine.  As prompted, I then enter my serial number (for CS3), but then I'm told  that the serial number isn't for a qualifying program. I copied the  serial number directly from my Adobe list of registrations and pasted it  in, so I know I've entered my CS3 serial number correctly.
    Here's more  info: When I'm prompted for the qualifying product serial number, I  choose "CS3" since there is no entry for "CS3 Extended".
    Thanks for  your help!

    This may be a red flag that CS3 or CS5 may not be the extended version, so you have a mismatch.
    As I understand it the s/n determines whether it is installed as a regular or extended version.

  • HT6030 Unstable Mail in Mavericks 10.9.1 and can't install upgrade

    I just upgraded to Mavericks. I'm in 10.9.1. I am having issues with Mail. It sounds like the Mail Upgrade for Mavericks would fix them. I tried to download it but read that I don't meet the system requirements. Is it because I'm in 10.9.1? What can I do? Thanks for any help or simialr experiences.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Fedora-firefox4.repo corrupted can't install upgrade to firefox 4

    getting frequent message about corruption of repo file. cant upgrade

    Note: If you use your Linux distribution's packaged version of Firefox, you will need to wait for an updated package to be released to its package repository. This article only applies if you installed Firefox manually (without using your distribution's package manager).

  • Can;t install upgrade to FC Express HD

    I installed FC Express HD. When i ran it it said that this version needed a AGP graphic card. I then went to the Apple site to download the update. After download, tied to installed and got a message saying this software does not need to be updated. So basically, FC Express HD is not useable at the time.
    I am using a New Intel iMac. Does that make a difference?

    YES! It does Stephen.
    When you get the AGP message hit the "esc" key and FCE should open.
    However, be warned that FCE is not really suitable for the new Intel-Macs and will probably work slowly etc.
    An improved version designed for the new Macs is expected soon.
