Upgrade price to CS6?

I purchased Photoshop CS5 Extended (Student & Teacher edition) in September 2011 and I'm interested in upgrading to CS6 when it comes out. I know that recent purchases have a free upgrade to CS6 (I bought Dreamweaver during this recent timeframe that will be upgraded), but I can't seem to find anywhere an upgrade price for Student and Teacher editions. I'm curious to know what the upgrade or discount price would be to get CS6 as a student, since it seems ridiculous to pay for another full student/teacher version for something I've only had for such a short time. If there isn't a student upgrade price to CS6, is there any way I could take my Dreamweaver upgrade and put it towards a Photoshop upgrade instead?
Thank you.

That's right.
There's been a (low key) shift in purchasing policy from earlier CS versions.
The standalone product > Suite upgrade path has been removed.
From the CS6 FAQ
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/photoshop/faq.html
What is Adobe's upgrade policy for Creative Suite 6?
Adobe allows upgrades to CS6 individual products and suite editions from one version back (which in this case is CS5 and CS5.5, due to the interim CS5.5 release). For example, if you have a validly licensed copy of Photoshop CS5, you can upgrade to Photoshop CS6 at the upgrade price. Owners of individual products are not eligible to upgrade to suite editions.

What is Adobe's upgrade policy for Creative Suite 6?
Owners of a CS5 or CS5.5 suite edition qualify for upgrade pricing to a CS6 suite edition. Owners of an individual CS5 or CS5.5 product qualify for upgrade pricing to the same product but not to a suite edition. Any version earlier than CS5 will not be eligible for upgrade pricing.

CS6 worth $200 upgrade price?

Faced with a decision here. I've been quite happy with PS CS 5 on my Mac Pro. I will never make the move to "Creative Cloud," because I find the concept of paying a monthly rental for software offensive. I'm wondering if CS6 offers any compelling new features or improvements that I would actually use and appreciate? It's not like I have $200 burning a hole in my pocket that I'm dying to spend, but if CS6 were appreciably better in real world usage scenarios, I would probably buy it. What are your favorite CS6 improvements and new features? It it worth the upgrade price, in your opinion?

I am in the same position as you, Gary, and feel the same way about CC. I was not planning on upgrading from my CS5.1 until CS7 came out in a year. Surprise.
So not trusting anything Adobe says any longer, I upgraded last week to CS6, moaning the whole way having to spend $209 now instead of in a year when I could have received more features. I took a few online tutorials on "What's new in CS6" on Adobe TV and YouTube to get up to speed.
I must admit that I am now glad I upgraded. I use ACR, so the more intuitive interface and quality improvements were a big plus. If you are planning to begin RAW processing, ACR 7.4 in CS6 will be easier for you to operate with more predictable results.
The new interface options are interesting. Being used to CS5, I didn't like the darker GUI. But after a while, I noticed that the panels on my palette monitor were less distracting while looking at my image on the main monitor -- with a dual monitor setup. So I left it on the default dark gray. You have five total choices in Preferences under "Interface."
Most impressive for me was the Content-Aware Patch Tool and the Content-Aware Move Tool with the "Adaptation" settings to better control what PS does in the process. They work very well. It's also nice to have the Lighting Effects Filter is back, and it works much faster than in CS4. The Liquefy Filter and Puppet Warp is a lot faster. Then there are quite a few small improvements scattered through-out that just make the editing experience more enjoyable. The Filter Menu has been simplified and is easier to use. Some things are not new, they just work better. It's like Adobe did catch-up on the minor gripes users have had for the last two versions.
A few things I don't care for is separating out the Adjustment Panel function with the new Properties Panel. I may be missing something here but is seems unnecessary. There is an extra row of icons at the top of the Layers Panel that I'm still trying to determine if they are worth the space. Seems like it provides a few short-cuts for power-users. The Crop Tool works a little differently, but after using for a while I like it better than in CS5. So far, no bugs have come up. I'm hoping that since CS6 made it to 13.0.4 before Adobe pulled the plug that it is fairly stable.
Hope this helps.

Upgrade Price Speculations Production Premium CS5.5 to CS6?

Anyone have an idea of the cost to upgrade from Production Premium CS5.5 to CS6? Right now you can buy the updgrade from CS5 to CS5.5 for $399 + 10% off until the 15th. If you buy the CS5 to CS5.5 upgrade now, you get CS6 for free. Wonder if buying the CS5 to CS5.5 upgrade with a free copy of CS6 for $360 will be cheaper than the CS5.5 to CS6 upgrade. If you are still on CS5, seems like a not brainer. Thoughts?

Yes, maybe...maybe not? Who knows? Well...besides Adobe. And maybe Dave, but he's not interested in discussing anything today. And this is really more appropriate to the Lounge anyway.
BUT - I like your question, and I want to try to give you some advice if I can so here goes.
You're likely to see that the upgrade price for the boxed/download version of Production Premium CS6 isn't much different than what you're seeing now for the intermediate "upgrade now, save later" type offers.
For me, I'm holding on to see what the final pricing and layout is for Creative Cloud. Probably looking at that costing me a bit more over the short run based on my current Adobe purchasing history, but there's supposed to be quite a bit of extra goodness in there so probably worthwhile.
If you have a money back guarantee wherever you're purchasing, you can always buy now, don't open it, then return it in a week or so if pricing is announced and it makes a difference.
If you think you'd have a use for the Creative Cloud, you may want to wait. The preliminary pricing listed by Adobe is $49/month for annual subscribers. Maybe it'll be discounted for 1-year if you already own CS5 or CS5.5 versions of one of the suites. Dunno. Probably more info within the next 7 days.

How do I both subscribe at the CS6 owner's upgrade price plus get a 1 year prepaid subscription?

Adobe only seems to offer month by month deductions from my credit card and retailers don't seem to sell prepaid cards at the CS6 owner's upgrade price. How do I both subscribe at the CS6 owner's upgrade price plus get a 1 year prepaid subscription?

Thanks, Biggles. I suppose I didn't ask the question correctly.
I'm not so much desperate for CC as much as I want to give it a good trial. I have done the free trial for 30 days and the things I need to work do work and I'm pretty pleased with the way it functions. As a CS6 owner, I get a discounted price on CC for one year ($19.99). I want to use that cheaper year to try out CC even more to see if it functions well (or not) over a longer time.
If I order it directly from Adobe, I can take advantage of the discounted price but it looks like I have to have my credit card deducted once a month for the year. I'd rather pay the whole year's subscription at once and up front. If I order it through a reseller (Staples, Amazon, etc.) it looks like I can buy a pre-paid card for the whole year but I don't see how I can buy one for the discounted price that I qualify for (they only sell them for the full $49.99/month price).
I'm wondering if there's a way to pre-pay for the whole year at the discounted price that I qualify for.

I own CS6 from DVD and have just upgraded (by paying) for Creative Cloud. Is there an upgrade price or do I just start with monthly/yearly subscriptions to CC2014?

You get a discounted first year on your subscription if you own a previous product, which you should have been asked for when signing up.

Want to upgrade from PS CS6 to CS6 Extended.

I want to upgrade from Photoshop CS6 to Photoshop CS6 Extended. Told from support that's not possible. Really? If you've been able to do that, how?

Yes, there's the cloud...and that's how they get you. I absolutely believe that upgrading from a standard to the extended version should be available and available cheaply. The fact that it is not, has to be Adobes way to get you into the cloud. Why else would they not offer it?
If it's any consolation gswetsky, the only reason I wanted PhotoShop CS6 Extended was for the 3d application and it's really not that great and is a ram hog that I can't even render the 3d that I made.
I did get the Cloud, BTW, and I'm really enjoy it. Maybe not so much when my price goes up and I'm on a fixed income. The only program I use that I gained in the cloud, is Illustrator. Everything else I already owned.

Photoshop CS6 upgrade to PS CS6 extended

I want to upgrade my photoshop cs6 to ps cs6 extended. How can I do that. I dont't want a subsciption.

What do you consider a sensible price? PS CS6 extended is available only when you purchase the CS6 Suite, which is around $1000 for the upgrade from CS5. PS 6, which is not extended, is about $200, but I'm not sure about upgrading to a single app from a suite. Adobe used to allow it, but I'm not sure about now. PS CC and Lightroom 5 combo is $9.99 a month or PS CC alone for $19.99 or the whole CC suite for $29 a month. The latest CC apps are "extended."

Upgrade Price Differentials - Justification?

The price to upgrade CS3 Design Suite to CS6 on the Australian store is over $1000. To do the same upgrade on the US Store is about $700. The currencies have been at parity for over 6 months so this represents at least a 30% markup over the US price for a downloaded product. Australia has a 10% GST so that still leaves at least a 20% price gouge for Australian customers. Discuss.

Does anyone know if the upgrade price and loyalty credit are the same. I've been giving 3 different answers from Verizon employees.
Not sure what you mean here.
If you upgrade your phone after the 20 month point of a 2yr contract, you are eligible for a discounted price for a phone in return for signing a new 2yr contract.
If your current contract was signed on or before Jan 15, 2011, you may also be eligible for these same discounted prices after the 1yr point of a 2yr contract, depending on your price plan. This is not available for contracts signed after Jan 15, 2011.
If your current contract was signed on or before Jan 15, 2011, you may also be eligible for a New Every Two credit of either $30/$50/$100 IN ADDITION to the discounted price for a phone in return for signing a new 2yr contract, depending on your price plan and when you signed your last contract.

Can I upgrade CS3 to CS6?

I have CS3 already. Can I upgrade to CS6 (or any version for that matter that can edit HD footage), or would I have to buy it from scratch like a new customer?

Here is the link to buy the perpetual license (non-subscription) Creative Suite 6
When you click to buy (you are not committed to buying until you go to the shopping cart checkout) click to change from full to upgrade and find out what qualifies for an upgrade price
Depending on how demanding your needs are (ie-what features you need) you may also want to consider Premiere Elements Community: Premiere Elements | Adobe Community

Upgrade to Fireworks cs6

Can i upgrade from fireworks 8 to fireworks cs6?

Here's information from Adobe about upgrading to Fireworks CS6:
http://www.adobe.com/products/fireworks/buying-guide-upgrades.html
http://www.adobe.com/products/fireworks/buying-guide.html
It looks like users of Fireworks CS5 qualify for upgrade pricing; others pay full price for the latest version. There's also eduction pricing discounts if you're a student or educator, and then there's the Creative Cloud option, as well.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw. However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw (I was told that the Camera Raw update 8.3, which is available for CS6, included this camera). However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6. I have tried over 10 times - it just says update is not working. and I cannot find an alternate way of downloading this file. So I still can use my camera, even thought I paid to upgrade. HELP please.

What OS do you have? You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here. If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system. There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately. Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version. The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
System requirements | Photoshop
I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
Here's what I suggest you try:
1. Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
2. Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here:
Download CS6 products
3. Update the application using its own Help - Updates process. That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work. If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.

I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still!

Free Upgrade to Photoshop CS6 from CS5.5 upon release

I Purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 production Premium (Student License) a month ago understanding that a free upgrade to Photoshop CS6 MAC. when available. How do I upgrade to CS6 now that it is released.

I’m in the same boat.
I knew this would happen so I sent in a support ticket and got a case number on the 22nd. I was told that I do qualify for the cs6 upgrade but I would have to wait. So I did and guess what – nothing came.
I spent the better part of an hour in chat and while they have agreed there is an issue and have “escalated” my problem to the “offline team”, they are now away for Memorial Day and I won’t hear back until at least Tuesday.
All I wanted was a link to my promo code or an explanation – I didn’t get either and now the studio I've booked out sits vacant all weekend.
I cannot imagine letting a client twist in the wind without delivering their project or an explanation as to why an extension is needed – It’s unfathomable. If Adobe cannot stick to their deadline they need to change it or explain why BEFORE the deadline passes. A simple email would suffice and any adult with any business experience would agree that this just is common sense.
What will Adobe do now? I predict I’ll get a form letter apology ( that’s not worth near the $300 I lost this weekend ) and finally a link to my promo code. No mentions of compensations or added value for my trouble.
Enjoy your extended weekend kids – status quo starts back on Tuesday...

Has anyone had any luck viewing upgrade prices on devices on myverizon before their upgrade date?

I have a single line account whose upgrade date is tomorrow, 8/30/2013, yet when I go to the upgrade my device option on Myverizon, all I can see in the way of device prices are full retail prices...no discounted prices or free phones for contract extensions. I did a live chat with a customer service rep who told me it was because 'prices are always changing." Why then, can I see the upgrade prices/deals on OTHER companies websites (ie bestbuy.com & samsclub.com)?? Don't their prices change as well?
My sister, who is also a Verizon customer has a family plan with 5 lines. She was able to see upgrade prices on TWO of her lines a week before their eligible upgrade dates AND upgraded early. Perhaps because she has 5 lines and pays a bigger bill she gets better service than I do?
I've been a customer since LA Cellular, who sold to Airtouch (back in the mid 1990's) who then sold to Verizon...I've had the same phone # and provider for close to 18 years and feel that this is not a great way to treat any customer.The same thing happened to me when I upgraded in 2011. I actually ended up upgrading with Best Buy almost a week before my upgrade date. I didn't want to do that this time, because I had technical issues with my phone and had to get a new one (through Best Buy's warranty...Verizon wouldn't honor the manufacturer warranty because I did not buy the phone from them) Best Buy & Verizon screwed up my data plan, causing me to lose 2 GB of data each month. ( I was on promotional 4GB of data for price of 2 GB, which did not get translated between Best Buy & Verizon when my phone was replaced.
Has anyone else ever been able to view their upgrade prices on myverizon before their actual upgrade date? It's a moot point for me after tomorrow, but I plan to complain to their corporate customer service and any additional ammunition would be very helpful.

Because you're not yet eligible for upgrade. View the devices while not signed in and it will show 2 yr pricing by default.

APPLE: We Need An Upgrade Price for Logic Pro X!!!

There has always been an Upgrade path for Logic Pro. Where is it???

I've been using Logic since it was Notator 2.5 as well, upgrading every time, and I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with their being no upgrade price.
Reasons?
1. Even at the full price, Logic X is cheaper than any ProTools upgrade price.
2. It is a ridiculously powerful piece of software which can do things I was only dreaming of being able to do 20 years ago. Frankly I think $200/£139 is astonishingly good value for what it can do.
Perhaps people should stop convincing themselves that software manufacturers somehow 'owe them' just because they're long-term users? Apple has delivered a piece of professional level software at a remarkable price - for that I'm actually pretty thankful!
Nobody ever said doing professional quality audio was cheap.
