Upgrade questions - various versions owned

I have the following items registered: Photoshop 4 retail, Photoshop CS upgrade, Photoshop CS2 upgrade, Creative Suite Premium CS3 upgrade from Photoshop, CS3 Design Premium upgrade from CS2.
Can I upgrade to Photoshop CS4 (rather than Creative Suite 4), and if I do, will I still have the option of doing a Creative Suite CS3 to Creative Suite CS5 upgrade in future (ie. not have to make the big Photoshop to Creative Suite jump)?
The only application I'm using at the moment is Photoshop, and while I was happy skipping CS4, it looks like I might need to upgrade when I get Snow Leopard.
Thanks

You may be right.
The recent secret and authoritarian attitude of Apple on many subjects 
is not particularly pleasant.
However on one side Adobe gets 1000 dollars each time they change 
their software whereas Apple gets 29 dollars! Who benefits most from 
his refusal to adjust to change at no or low cost?
Many software makers adjust regularly their products to software 
changes (including Mac) at no cost: Garphic Converter, etc.

Imagine you prepared a photograph for your client that showed their

employees and found a new building. Are obligated to reshoot and 
prepare another image of their new building for free? Artists and 
software developers are no different and it seems  odd that one may

You pay a premium price for using Mac OS and the current flavor of 
processor. If you don't want to be bound by Apple's more frequent 
upgrade game, you could use Windows. CS4 for Windows can run on the 
same OS that was available in 2001. CS4 for Mac requires an 
operating system from 2005 or later.

  • CRM 5.2 upgrade question -  CRMUIF version

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to upgrade from CRM 5.2 to 7.0 or is it necessary to go from 5.2 to 6 and then from 6 to 7?
    Thank you all in advance.
    the reason Im asking this question is during the SAPup the Upgrade assistant gives me a warning:
    The version 520 of the Add-on CRMUIF is too high for this upgrade (>000).  To avoid loss of data it is necessary to include the latest available version for the Add-on in the IS_SELECT phase.
    any insight will be appreciated.

    Har,
    We have upgraded our CRM 40 sandbox to CRM52 and will be doing the dev system in the next couple of days.  The documentation available for CRM 2007(60) does also state you can go from CRM 52 to CRM 60. 
    As far your error, we upgraded to SP00 of CRM 52 first(dvd media version) and then applied the CRMUIF and support stacks post upgrade.  I suspect that is the reason why you are getting that error.
    Once the ABAP stack was on the CRM 52 SPS2 we then added the java stack to our existing ABAP only landscapes.  Our final step once everything was running was to turn on the VMC container in the ABAP stack.
    Good luck,
    Stephen

  • Cross platform upgrade question between Photoshop CS5/CS6 and multiple Windows/Mac computers

    Hello,
    I'm currently using a Windows laptop and PC running Photoshop CS5 from a Student license I got in college. I am considering moving to an Apple laptop so I was looking at the cross platform update question on the forum that led me here: Order product | Platform, language swap
    It's not really clear if I will be eligible for the upgrade, and Adobe support chat sent me to the forum, and that page sends me back to where I started to see if I am eligible. I would prefer to purchase the upgrade outright, rather than pay for the new monthly subscription model.
    If I am eligible for a swap/upgrade to Apple CS6, will I still be able to use CS5 on my Windows PC?
    Thanks.

    I don't have a definitive answer, but I have a feeling that a student teacher version is not eligible for an upgrade discount.  You own the CS5 perpetual license, and can install it on two computers at the same time as CS6, CC etc.  That will be the case in perpetuity.  (not sure why I didn't just type 'forever' back there, or alert the cliche police 'Going forward')
    Photoshop CS6 Extended will cost you just shy of US$1600 according to this Amazon page  The non extended version does not give you the 3D tools, and Photoshop CC comes as the full extended version as standard.  If you got the Photoshop / Lightroom Photography plan at a mere $10 a month, the price of CS6 would keep you subscribed for > three years.  Photoshop CC has a lot of wonderful features CS6 does not have, and will never have, and CC will be be constantly updated 'in perpetuity'. ;-)  $10 a month!  Heck, what's not to like about that?!!!

  • I did an upgrade from 4.0 to the new 6.0 about 5 months ago. After the upgrade installed it said reboot system to apply upgrade. Now it wont open and keeps telling me that the older version needs to shut down the computer and upgrade the old version.

    Look at original question. When I did the download to the new 6.0 it said everything was fine. Then when I tried to use the firefox again it said an older version needed to shut down my computer so that it could upgrade the old version. It wont let me do anything and all it says is shut down computer so old version can upgrade. It wont let me open the program or remove it or anything. PLease help me with this. I really like Firefox but this has been going on for 5 months now and I still dont get answers from you. How do I fix this???

  • IPod Touch not recognized since upgrading iTunes to version 11.1.4

    After upgrading from iTunes version 11.1.3.64 to version 11.1.4.64, my iPod Touch will no longer be recognized in iTunes (but is recognized by my computer - can view drive). I've restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service and the iPod Service with no luck. I've also tried a system restore but the restore point was not early enough (was post iTunes upgrade). How do I revert back to the previous version of iTunes? I have Windows 8. Thanks.

    Hey BobDLT,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. The following article outlines some great troubleshooting steps for this issue. While you may have already attempted some of these steps, I see that there are some that have not yet been attempted. It might be a good idea to run through the entire article:

  • Why can't I upgrade my student version of creative suite to a professional version?

    I purchased the student version of creative suite 6 in January to learn the software for a class that my job was paying me to take.  We decided that the software was worth investing in so my company wants to upgrade my student version to a professional version.  ( It turns out I am not allowed to use student version software for professional purposes - I don't know if that is a law or just a rule).  So I call up customer support to pay for the upgrade and cancel the student version.  I am told this isn't possible and that they have to create a whole new account and charge me a cancellation fee for my old account.  Then they send me to a sales rep who was a total jerk and told me he couldn't help me and spent 20 minutes seriously making fun of me.  What kind of sales rep makes fun of people?  Then he sent me back to customer support who of course couldn't help either and they had to then sent me to a cancellation guy.  By this time, I had been on the phone for an hour.  So this guy tells me my current contract requires me to pay $79 a month and to cancel it will cost my $280? WTH?  My student version costs only $30 a month.  I have invoices to prove it.  So then he charges me $112 to cancel but he can't set up a new account.  Of course, that has to be done by somebody else.  But after this horrible experience, why should I sign up AGAIN?  And why did I have to pay $112 to cancel when what I really wanted was an upgrade?

    Fasiababy1 I am sorry that you have had a difficult experience.  As Ned mentioned if you have an annual contract then your best option is to continue utilizing the student version of the software.  You are also welcome to use the Student and Teacher Edition commercially you can find more details in the Education FAQ - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/education-faq.html.  In specific the following element is relevant to your inquiry:
    Can I use Student and Teacher Edition products commercially?
    Yes, Student and Teacher Edition products can be used commercially.
    In addition for more details regarding canceling your subscription please see our discussion regarding questions for your Creative Cloud subscription at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1146459.
    Finally do you have a case number which I can reference from your interaction with our support team?

  • HT202358 The Support page contradicts itself! How do I upgrade the later version of my iPhoto Library?

    TELL ME IF THIS DOES NOT CONTRADICT ITSELF?
    iPhoto '11 or later: About the Library Upgrader
    You might see this message in iPhoto: "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." If you do, you can use the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to prepare your library to work with the current version of iPhoto.
    The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto '08 (v7.x) or earlier so that you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. If your library is from iPhoto '09 (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool.
    THEN HOW DO I UPGRADE MY LATER VERSION??

    Ok I will - There is No contradiction at all - Notice the CONDITIONAL STATEMENT
    You might see this message in iPhoto: "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." If you do, you can use the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to prepare your library to work with the current version of iPhoto.
    If you do not see that conditional statement then your library will simply be upgraded with no additional software required
    Exactly as the quote you posted says
    The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto '08 (v7.x) or earlier so that you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. If your library is from iPhoto '09 (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool.
    Really simple - if you have iphoto '08 or earlier backup your into library and download and run the iPhoto library upgrader and then launch the new iphoto to finish the upgrade - If you have iphoto '09 or l simply backup your iphoto library and launch the new iphoto to do the upgrade

  • Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application not auto installing - Status always waiting for next maintenance schedule

    Hello,
    I'm trying to deploy an application to a user group with the option checked for "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application" but it never auto installs.
    - The application is set to install to system whether the user is logged on or off. 
    - We do have user affinity, therefore the user does have a one or more primary devices setup.  
    - If I run the install manually, it will superseded and install the new application and uninstall the old applications.
    - The estimated installtion time minutes is set to 0
    - The maxmimum allowed run time is set to 120 minutes.
    We're on version SCCM 2012 SP1.
    My assumption of how it should work
    If the user is logged in or NOT and it's during the maintenance window, it should auto install the application. Maybe I'm wrong.
    Here's the scenario.
    User JohnDoe has application Viewer 1.0 installed on his machine.  He installed this app via the SCCM application catalog.   We now need to deploy Viewer 2.0 of this application.   I want to ensure when it's deployed it replaces Viewer 1.0 hence
    the reason to check the "auto upgrade.."check box.   
    Here's what happens. In software center, it will pre-downlaod the software and then set the status to "Waiting for next maintenance schedule".  The problem is that the status stays like this forever.   We do have maintenance windows set
    on the device collection that JohnDoe's primary device is part of.  Here are our maintenance windows.
    - Daily - 9PM to 5AM = 8 hours
    - Weekly - Saturday - 12:00AM to 12:00 = 24 hours
    - Weekly - Sunday - 12:00AM to 12:00 = 24 hours
    Coordinated UTC is not checked.
    The business hours in software center are set to 5am to 10pm.
    One would assume that it would auto install during the night since we have a big maintenance windows. I checked the ServiceWindowmanager.log and it does seem to show the various maitnenance windows.
    Here's what I've tried
    - If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows.  However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software.  
    - If JohnDoe clicks install in Software center or application catalog, it works.  There's nothing wrong with the packages.  The issue seems to be related with the maintenance windows. 
    - If I disable the maintenance windows, then it seems to work but only when I'm logged in.  It still does not work if I'm logged out.  It only kicks off the installation when I login if it's not during the business hour set in software center.  
     We need the maintenance windows since we don't want windows patching to occur during the day.
    - I searched and ran the report to ensure there's not another maintenance windows setup that would prevent this from installing.
    Our current workaround
    To ensure users are using the latest version, we deploy the application required for a couple of days, then delete that deployment once we reach a high 90%.  The problem with that is if some computers are turned off, they would be using the older version
    and it will never get upgraded unless the user installs it manually.
    Has anyone encountered this?  Any other log files I should look at? Anything else I should verify ?  I know in SCCM 2012 R2, you can set the maintenance window to only apply this schedule to software update (patching) but that option doesn't seem
    to be available in SCCM 2012 SP1.
    Any help, suggestiong, I will take.  Thanks.

    - If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows.  However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software. 
    Re-check your deployment, specially the user experience:
    If you've checked the box next to "Software installation", it will install after the deadline has passed and ignores maintenance windows. Change the deployment to required and uncheck that box and the software should be installed according to your
    maintenance windows.

    Thanks for any help
    I think others have answered most of your questions, but you indicated that "iTunes 10 is for Intel Macs only" -- that is not actually correct, you can certainly run iTunes 10 on your G5 PowerPC. What you need to do is:
    (1) upgrade to 10.5 operating system
    (2) upgrade to iTunes 10
    While Apple doesn't officially sell 10.5 anymore (Apple sells 10.6, but 10.6 won't install on your G5 PowerPC), if you call their 800 number and explain that you need it to use your new iPhone, they may be able to sell you a copy from old inventory. Alternatively, some retailers are still selling older inventory 10.5 install DVDs but you need the version that installs on any computer, many 10.5 disks are made for a specific model only.
    Before you do either (1) or (2) above, make sure you have enough memory as indicated by Apple in their system requirements. If you need more memory, it is inexpensive to upgrade.

  • Upgrading the APEX version 4.0.1.00.03  to  4.0.2.00.07

    Hi All,
    We need to upgrade current apex version 4.0.1.00.03 to 4.0.2.00.07.
    I am new to Apex applications , so quite have few doubts:
    1.Does database downtime is required for upgrade. In readme its stated that only APEX_040000 is updated , but I m not sure if the database will be restricted mode during upgrade?
    2. Is procedure same for Database versions 10gR2 and 11gR2 (our version is 11gR2).
    3.Also have plan for 11.2.0.2 upgrade , is it affect Apex applications?
    Thanks in advance.

    NOT really possible to go backwards from 4.x to 3.s. Your best option is to try and find a backup and try and install it and make required changes to meet current version. Why, may I ask is your production environment in 4.x and your development in 3.2? This sounds TOTALLY dainbramaged to me, since I would NOT want to work in such a mixed environment.
    Thank you,

  • Upgrade from trial version

    How does one upgrade their trial version of Lightroom 5 (i.e. pay for a license) without having to re-install so the existing catalogue of photographs etc isn't deleted?
    Thanks

    Unless I am missing something glaringly obvious, I cannot find any option to buy, register, upgrade to a full version of LR.  I can see I have two days left of a trial but there is no 'Lightroom Registration' option under help to just simply progress to purchase. 
    I also find it confusing and frustrating that options are wrapped up in CC membership - I own CS6, don't want to pay monthly - I just want to buy it, be assured I have a full version and get on with working with LR as I have been. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - I've exhausted forums and Adobe website.  As I say, might be missing something simple - so humble enough to have it pointed out to me.
    Many thanks.

  • ANOTHER UPGRADE QUESTION

    I've owned Photoshop versions 5, 5.5, 7, CS, CS3, & CS5.
    I usually skip a version unless there's something I particularly want, and as to CS6, the only “feature” that interests me, is “the” ACR upgrade.
    I thought about buying Lightroom for the ACR, & to use in conjunction with Photoshop; but I don't want to loose my upgrade privileges for Photoshop.
    I searched the Adobe site, & found info. on the allowance to upgrade from CS4 to CS6; but there is nothing specific about the future, & weather CS5 user's will be eligible for upgrade to CS7, or will be required to upgrade to CS6?
    Seems a bit hard-core bottom line to require upgrading to every version, weather “you're” interested in the “improvements” or not, to retain eligibility!

    or will be required to upgrade to CS6?
    The answer is an unequivocal yes.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html
    Starting with the CS6 cycle, you must be on the latest version of Adobe products in order to qualify for upgrade pricing to the next version.
    When CS7 arrives, you must be a CS6 user to upgrade. And so on.
    The new policy arrived out of the blue in 2011 and took everyone by surprise. Originally you had to be a CS5 or CS5.5 user to get upgrade pricing for CS6. Bit harsh.
    After some hardcore lobbying, on behalf of CS3 and CS4 users, from high profile, influential Photoshop users (http://scottkelby.com/2011/an-open-letter-to-adobe-systems/), Adobe relented and the only dispensation was for CS3 and CS4 users upgrading to CS6. Due to the timing of the new upgrade policy announcement (just before CS6 shipped), CS3 and CS4 users have now been given until 31 Dec 2012 to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade prices.
    After 31 Dec 2012, everyone who wants to upgrade to CS6 must already own CS5 or CS5.5.
    This is all for perpetual (traditional) licenses.
    Cloud customers paying their monthly fee get automatic free upgrades for all products plus early access to new features released mid-cycle.
    Not hard to see that Adobe is steadily pushing everyone towards the Creative Cloud.
