Upgrade indesign from design premium suite to CS5.5 then to CS6

Hi, I have indesign cs5 as part of the design premium suite. The other in my office have cs3 and purchasing new copies of cs6. can i upgrade to cs6 without paying the £700 price tag? can I upgrade to cs5.5 for free and then pay for upgrade to cs6? 

DHAArchitecture the complimentary period for upgrades from CS5 to CS5.5 expired some time ago.  I am sorry but you will either want to look at upgrading to CS6 or consider a Creative Cloud membership.  Creative Cloud Membership does also include CS6.
You can find out more information about the Creative Cloud at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html?promoid=JQPEQ.
Also if you wish to purchase an upgrade for CS6 please see http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?start=10.

  • Upgrading Indesign from 'Design Premium' CS3 to CS5 - compatibility

    I work in-house in marketing; we're looking at upgrading two of our Adobe Design Premium CS3 suites to the CS5 version. We have four or five CS3 suite licenses but can only afford to upgrade two of them at present.
    My question is about the InDesign element - do we need to have the CS4 version in order to be able to effectively save down to a version that can be used between InDesign CS3 and CS5?
    I'm worried about compatibility internally and externally - we use a lot of freelance designers who mostly use CS5 - this is already causing issues as we cannot open the files they send.
    Any tips/hints you can give would be gratefully received!

    The ONLY way to get a file from CS5 to open in CS3 is to export from CS5 to.idml, open that in CS4, export from there to .inx, and open that in CS3. Ther esults won't look a whole lot like the original CS5 file, especially if any features were added in CS4 or CS5 have been used, and there may be noticable changes in text flow due to text engine differences between versions.
    Working in collaboration across different versions is a lousy workflow.

  • 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
    Phil

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Will Photoshop CS5 work with Adobe CS 4 Design Premium Suite?

    I have been debating to upgrade just the Photoshop to CS5 from my CS4 Design Premium Suite.  I still need training and skill development time with the other software in the suite, but feel pretty good with photoshop CS4 to upgrade to CS5.  Will everything still work together or do I need to upgrade the whole suite?  Thanks

    The two applications will work together fine, but…
    You CANNOT upgrade to a single, stand-alone application from a suite license under the terms of the EULA, which was clear when you bought the suite.  When you bought the suite, you commited to upgrading the whole suite forever.
    So, unless you have a license for a full version of stand-alone Photoshop that has never been used to upgrade to anything, you are stuck with the suite.
    I've never bought the suite and use very different versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and InDesign with no problem.

  • Problems with the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite on OSX Lion?

    Hi, did anybody had already problems with the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite on OSX Lion? I purchased the software as a Volume licenced product recently and everything was working fine, until since few days my Indesign and Illustrator keep crashing on launch. I de-installed and re-installed the entire CS5 Suite on my iMac, but Indesign and Illustrator still keep on crashing while launching. I already rang the Adobe tech support but they are not very helpful at all... Its quite frustrating.

    No problems here with CS5. After I upgraded to Lion I did update to 5.5 and still did not experience any problems. There are some handy articlles on Adobe's web site relating to compatability with Lion, but I have experienced none. Have you checked the third party plug-ins in Illustrator and InDesign for compatability if you have any installed?

  • I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking first, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it. What can I do??

    I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking for potential problems with Adobe software, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So after consulting some forums, I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it, back in 2011... What can I do?? Everything was fine before I upgraded that *#$%* Yosemite.

  • 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 own Adobe CS4 Design Premium Suite and want to install it on 2 computers in my home. Can I with 1 serial number?

    I own Adobe CS4 Design Premium Suite and want to install it on 2 computers in my home. Can I with 1 serial number?

    Yes.  A single user license allows for activated installations on two machines of the same platform type (Windows versus Mac).  A limitation in this allowance is that only one of the machines can be using the Suite software at any given time.

  • Upgrading to CS5 Master Collection with CS3 Design Premium Suite

    I just bought CS5 Creative Suite Master Collection on Tigerdirect.com. I noticed there wasn't any details about what version of software you can upgrade from (such as Master Collection or Design Premium etc)  I currently have CS3 Design Premium Software (an upgraded version from CS1 or whatever).  Will I be able to upgrade to the CS5 Creative Suite Master Collection by using my CS3 Design Premium serial number?

    Only if you bought the right upgrade.Here's the correct item on Amazon: http://amzn.to/b4XQJ3
    Note the list price is $1,299. Amazon has it for about $1,239. If you paid significantly less than that you bought the wrong one.

  • 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.

  • Downloading dreamweaver only from design premium package CS5...

    I just need Dreamweaver redownloaded... No longer have the CDs... I tried downloading Dreamweaver only but it says the registration number is incorrect... I don't want to download the entire package.. the rest works fine... help!

    It's not possible. Suite packages require to use the suite installers. You have to download the whole Design Premium.
