Upgrade path to CS3 from Macromedia WEB Tools MX + fireworks mx 2004 upg

Hello
Could you please support me.
I`m user of Macromedia web tools MX and Macromedia fireworx mx 2004 upgrade ( serial FWD700-XXXX).
Now i have good offerr to buy bran new ( nor opend box) of CS3 upgrade, however I`m not sure if I can upgrade to it from my products.
I have tried to contact Adobe, but support told me that there are not able to help me with information about that old products and adviced to buy CS6
So my question is - could someone help me with checked information from wchich products can I upgrade to Adobe CS3 ?
Thanks in advace
Bartosz Klosowski

There have been a slew of upgrades in the past and different skus depending upon what you were upgrading from. IIRC there was a CS3 upgrade from Macromedia suite but whether the one you have there is the right one is anyone’s guess.
Finally, the chance of this being legit is very small. I would, instead, advise you to look into Creative Cloud as a way to get to CS6.

In all likelihood, the dlls are not being replaced because they are in use, and the installer is trying to load the old version which did not get replaced.
You can try manually turning off the synch service and messaging service. Also, make sure the synch manager is not running.
Then uninstall.
Check the installer and synchmanager directoriesw in your C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Web Tools folder (or where ever it was installed) to make sure all .dll and .exe files have been removed. If not, something is probably still open an using them.
If the dll and exes have been cleared out. Then run the installer (the installer that installs the installer )
check the version of the files that were installed in synchmanager and installer directories.
they should be 2007.0.630.10.

Mac App Store Upgrade advantages vs Download from Apple Web ?

Since latest OSX versions the upgrades are checked in App Store and the download of the upgrade follows in App Store.
I have checked with latest OS upgrade (10.8.1 and 10.8.2) and also now with Aperture 3.4.1 that the download time inside App Store is twice longer compared with a direct download from Apple. More interesting is that the download gives me a file that I can use to upgrade not only my iMac but also my Mac Book Pro.
The upgrade notification in App Store reached my Mac while the related file is not to befound in the italian Apple site but if I change to us I immediately find the file.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Yes, OS X updates from the Apple Downloads page will work. If your version of Aperture is from the MAS, the update from the MAS should not be able to update it, that is for the previously sold boxed software.

Upgrade path from CS1 to CS3.3 OK ?

Hello
anyone could tell me for sure ( I have had conflicting infos ) if I can upgrade my old CS1 with a brand new CS3.3 premium upgrade ?

And where exactly do you intend to buy such a thing. As Steve points out it has been several years. Additionally, there were several versions of the CS3.3 upgrade.
One was from CS3 to CS3.3 which only contained an Acrobat upgrade and another from earlier versions of Creative Suite. In fact I'm not even sure if there were separate upgrades from CS and CS2.
In short, there are a lot of bogus copies of sofware out there. Be very careful.

Upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 to R2 Fails - Unsupported Upgrade Path

Hi everybody,
I'm currently upgrading our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 after have finished with the upgrade from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 CU4, thus far everything works fine, but when I try to update any

I confirm that this one site is a secondary one that's attached to a primary site and this log is from the CAS server, I managed to tall it and delete it from that site, but still appears listed
on the CAS management console, any idea how to force the removal of a secondary site that's attached to a primary from the CAS site when it has been removed already from said primary?
I've already tried the
Preinst /DELSITE XXX command but it only works when the site to remove it's attached to the local site and certainly not from a CAS
Finally, the version, build number and everything is correct, no idea what could be the problem, does anybody know a way to bypass this or force the re-evaluation of this rules, I've got
the impression that it's being cached somehow.
Any help would be highly appreciated,
Thank you.
Marcelo Estrada MCP-MCTS-MCITP-MCSA-MCSE

Hello again everybody,
I've finally managed to fix this up, in the end I had to delete those entries manually from the database as Garry suggested. After this was done the upgrade has gone through as expected with no further ado and has finalized already, now moving on to the
primary sites.
If anybody out there is facing the same issue, what I did was to delete those "stubborn" records executing the following statements over the CAS database:
DELETE
FROMServerDataWHERESiteCode='XXX'
DELETE
FROMSC_SiteDefinitionWHERESiteCode='XXX'
And this is pretty much about it. I'd recommend to take a proper backup first though as best practice.
Thank you all anyways for your answers and comments,

Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X?

Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X ?

The price of FCPX pretty much is the cost of the upgrade of FCPStudio, but a much better value (at least so far -- every update has been free.) However, it's only the single app so you might feel like you're not getting as much for your money. Don't be fooled. Most of Color and Soundtrack Pro are built into FCPX. FCPX will conform video automatically so Cinema Tools aren't really needed anymore. The Motion engine is part of FCPX, although I do recommend buying Motion 5 (an extra 50 bucks.) (Motion 4 seems to have died in Yosemite - you can't even launch it.)
I "upgraded" from Final Cut Studio 3... it took me about a week to decide to pack up all the old software for good. YMMV. However, if you use DVD Studio Pro... hang on to that.

Can you upgrade to acrobat 11 from cs3

I have acrobat 9 pro from CS 3. I bought the upgrade to Acrobat 11. When I put in the serial number from CS 3 Design Premium it does not work. Can you upgrade to Acrobat 11 from cs3, and if not can you "return" the upgrade you bought?

Hi,
No, its not a valid path to upgrade from CS3 to Acrobat 11. You need to contact Adobe Chat Support to return the Acrobat 11 you bought.

Upgrade path for Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium

Where do I get propper informations about the upgrade path if I´m owner of a "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web-Premium Upgrade (MAC) - Upgrade from Adobe Creative Suite 5.5"
It seems to me that I have to buy one of the CS 5.5 versions listed on the package to install the upgrade but I´m unshure about the language.
Do I have to buy a english version or am I free to choose a version provided for the EU or Switzerland (as labled on the package, too)? I am a german user with a swiss background.
It would be very kind if you could help me with this!
I´m absolutly unshure and can´t find my way in this version jungle :.-(
Greetings, Sascha
P.S.: At the moment I don´t want to upgrade to a CC-Version!

Okay... it seems to me that one of the following versions should be a good base for a regular update path:
Design Prem/Std CS5.5, Web Prem/Std CS5.5, Production Prem CS5.5, Master Collection CS5.5
A regular version 5.0 shouldn´t fit the requirements. So I´m only unshure about any language restrictions?
Thank you, Sascha

CS3 Save for Web bugs - No answer from Adobe in all forum posts

I just upgraded to Illustrator 13.0.02 and the problem is the same: Slice names and output settings are not remembered/saved like all previous AI versions.
I don't understand why this post was closed: CS3 Save for Web Problems
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bc41aeb.
and this one: "Save for Web" names of frames vanish
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc4cd31/2
It is the same as: AI CS3 - Save for Web & Devises image name problem
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c057eab
Concerning slice name: It looks like they now have to be saved via drop down menus in order for Illustrator to remember the slice names for export again: "Object - Slice - Slice Options, and then in Save for Web, set the Output Settings for Saving Files"
In my opinion this is incredibly poor UI design. In prior versions of Illustrator, I would save the names in the Save for Web dialog box by simply double clicking the slice frame, and it would remember the names of my slices for export again.
Clicking through drop down menus just to name a slice is inefficient compared to just double clicking a slice frame to name the slice.

This is a bit of an old thread, but I too have recently discovered this problem in working with AI CS3.
I contacted Adobe support with the question. I asked them why it was not possible to select and optimize individual slices in the Save for Web and Devices dialog in CS3, and then maintain those settings after saving the slices or clicking "Done"... even though that very feature was available and working in CS2.
Adobe's answer was, quite simply, that they have ceased any development on CS3, including bug fixes, and that anyone who wants the problem fixes would have to buy CS4 in order to "fix" the problem.
In short, they are quite aware of the problem, but would rather have us pay for a new product in order to have it fixed, than to pay a programmer to spend a few hours or a few days in tracking down the problem and getting it sorted out. This is their short-term solution to a long-term problem.
There is a workaround to the slice naming, as you have found - name the slices from the Object - Slice - Slice Options menu. It's a royal PITA, I know, but it does maintain the slice name settings.
However, there is no real workaround to save the optimization and output settings (such as color tables and JPEG/GIF/PNG settings) for each slice. It's a completely broken feature, or in Adobe's own words, "a problem". A big fat bug. Let us not mince words here - it is technical and corporate incompetency. Technical incompetency can be excused - publishing a new build will fix the problem. But corporate incompetency, which tells the programmers that they don't need to fix the problem for "marketing" reasons, is totally inexcusable.
It doesn't cost Adobe anything to just shelve a problem... at least, not now. But I refuse to buy Illustrator CS4 as a result, because I don't want to give in to their ineptitude and lack of attention to the customer in this case. Which costs them more now, to pay the programmer to fix the error and then publish a new build on their web server... or to tell the customer that the problem won't be fixed and to buy the newest version? You do the math. Read 'em and weep.
Makes you want to migrate to Fireworks for web comp design, doesn't it. At least Illustrator has an excuse - it's an all-purpose vector graphics application, not specifically a web comp design app. If this were Fireworks, on the other hand, I think that there would be oodles of furious programmers screaming colorful obscenities at Adobe's front door.
I really like Illustrator for what it does, but I'm not using CS3 for any more web comps after this.

I have Elements 12. It's an upgrade in most respects from the old CS2 I used for years. Except there is apparently no measuring tool. How can this be; is there a plug-in, or will Adobe fix the problem?

Hello again. When I said PSE 12 was an upgrade on CS2, I meant that simply from an informal point of view - and it is: it's better software in most respects. In expert mode, the features and functions are much the same as in the CS2 I had before, but enhanced and slicker. Less 16 bit colour depth and a few other things of course. Unfortunately, as it now transpires, the "few other things" has turned out to include the measuring feature.
Thanks for the work-around - only problem is ... to what Info Panel are you referring when using the line tool? I've looked around but can't see the line length being shown anywhere. Thanks in advance for any light you might be able to cast on it.
Incidentally, I upgraded my written-off Canon D5 MK II with a D6. To me it's an upgrade - it's a much better camera - though by the letter of the law, the strict upgrade path would be to a 5D MK III. One can use the word "upgrade" in this informal (but entirely meaningful) sense, I hope, without being sent to prison!!

Standard Upgrade Path from VMWare Server?

I've been using VMWare Server for years to test my software. Specifically I have 2 "beige box" PCs running CentOS running VMWare Server running various versions of Windows Server as domain controllers and file servers as well as numerous workstations. I have a complete mini multi-domain Windows network. When I run the tests for my software it really pushes the 2-3 vms involved with a lot of network communication and some disk activity.
With care and some brute force this has worked well. At least I don't need a stack of PCs. And it's free so it's hard to complain. But unfortunately it's not terribly reliable. The web interface stops working - sometimes only after a day. Clocks drift causing authentication issues. Generally bad things happen if I try to run more than 2 images on the same server. I've gotten to be pretty good at combating these problems but I'm hoping to find something a little more reliable.
So now I'm willing to actually pay for something (gah!) and I would like to upgrade. But VMWare has so many products I just have no idea what I should be looking for.
What is the standard upgrade path from VMWare Server?

Ok. Two people say use ESXi so I guess I'll just try to burn an ESXi DVD and see what it's like. But ...
Is performance really good enough to compile large projects and do backups over and so on?
VMware Server has worked well enough for me over the years but performance was not like real hardware. But the real problem was reliability. If I ran more than 2 VMs at a time, eventually they would just get their tentacles in a tangle and I would have to kill them and delete lock files and bah! I'm going to assume by your endorsement that ESXi doesn't have any of these problems.
Also, the machine I'm using is a lowly DELL i660 i3-3240 with 8GB of memory. I paid $429 USD for it at a local consumer electronics store! This is no server. Will it even work?

Mac DW-CS4 Activation Trouble from CS2 Upgrade Path

Am I mistaken? I've just purchased what I believe to be the correct version of DW CS 4 UPG from GoLive, CS2 or 9. $199.00 Mac, English, as currently offered at the Adobe online store.
However, the installer doesn't find my existing version of CS2 nor does it accept my valid serial numbers from CS2 or CS(1)(as in GoLive CS.) A few weeks ago, there was conflicting information buried here in certain website pages about the upgrade path (which seem to have been reworded now) along with conflicts in Adobe Service Provider documents about upgrades. Furthermore, there still seems to be conflicting / confusing upgrade path info on the top of the list at the Dreamweaver forum FAQ – the post from two weeks ago named "Serial number not accepted." The post says you can't upgrade from a Creative Suite to a standalone version but at the Adobe store the contrary is offered.
Am I mistaken?
Could this be more confusing?
Does anyone else besides me find the 7 blue links on the lower left of the Dreamweaver store page regarding "Please check upgrade eligibility before making your selection..." do not work at all? (I'm using the latest Safari.)
Thanks!
– If not now, when.

The upgrade path is listed here: http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/upgrade/?view=available.
It says you can upgrade to Dreamweaver CS4 from Adobe GoLive 9, CS2, CS, 6.0, or 5.0. However, that means a standalone version of GoLive, not GoLive as part of a suite. This is confirmed on the following page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq/?anonymous_element_1=2. It lays out the upgrade eligibility very clearly:
Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from a previous suite edition to a standalone product?
No. Upgrade pricing is available only if you have one of the qualifying earlier products listed on the upgrade eligibility page of the product you wish to purchase and can provide the serial number for that product during installation.
Creative Suite Premium or Standard; Creative Suite 2 Premium or Standard; Production Studio; and Macromedia Studio do not qualify for upgrade pricing on standalone products such as Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4, or Dreamweaver CS4.

Upgrade path from Unity / Exchange to Unity Connection 7.1

Has anyone found (perhaps doesn't exist) an upgrade path from Unity / Exchange 4.1 to Unity Connection 7.1?

It will likely require a new server, but I just performed this migration. You also have to be on Unity 4.0(5) or higher in order to perform the migration. You use the COBRAS Export tool for Unity to grab the majority of system data and the COBRAS Import tool for Connection to migrate data over. Read up on COBRAS here:

If you have other questions, let me know.

BO Webi Export to CSV Text Qualifier opt xir3 sp5 Full build vs Upgrade path

Hi, can anybody tell me how I can get the 3 option (space) as a Text Qualifier when saving a Webi doc as a CSV. In Prod we have upgraded to SP5 thru the modify path on the install media and do not have this option. In Dev we did a fresh install of SP5 using the same media disc and there we get a 3rd option when saving to csv. both versions are XIR3 sp5 but show different builds via the CMC. Is this option controlled by an xml property file on the app server? Refreshing the Prod instance with a new BO install is not a good option - too many obstacles. This is the only difference I've noted and one that is causing an extra step to strip off double quotes from scheduled Webi docs delivered as CSV files to a file share in Prod.
Dev: Build Date: 2012/02/17:02:04:34
Build Number: 1265
Product Version: 12.5.0.1265
Prod: Build Date: 2011/11/29:21:00:17
Build Number: 1190
Product Version: 12.5.0.1190
I've attached the screen shots illustrating the issue. Bottom line is that I need the Space option as a Text Qualifier. Any ideas how to acquire this 3rd option? Thanks.

Hi,
Check the mentioned SAP Note for this issue. 1997321 - In XI 3.1 SP6, when trying to export a Web Intelligence report, the blank option for Save as CSV is not in the drop down as it should be
Workaround:
Stop Tomcat
In the <BusinessObjects install>\Tomcat55 or Tomcat7\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\WEB-INF\classes\ folder, make a backup of the webiviewer.properties file.
Then edit the file in a text editor and locate the line CSV_CharDelimmiter=” ‘
Add a blank space at the end of this file and save it.
Delete the contents of the Tomcat55 or Tomcat7\work\ directory
Restart Tomcat
The blank text qualifier should now appear in the DHTML viewer.
Regards,
Amit
