Upgrade to InDesign CS5.5 from 5. Master Collection serial is invalid. Suggestions?

Just upgraded to InDesign CS5.5 to take advatage of the new digital publishing tools. Still on the trial version as the serial from my master collection CS5 is rejected.
I assumed I could upgrade one of the programs in the MC suite, using that serial #. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks.

You thought wrong. Suites can only be upgraded to suites. Read the fineprint and get in touch with sales support about product return policies.

Upgrading to PP CS5 from CS4 Master Collection

Hi there,
I am currently running Premiere Pro CS4, as part of the CS4 Master Collection package.
I need to upgrade my copy of Premiere to CS5 but can't afford to upgrade the rest of the bundled software.
Is it possible to upgrade to Premiere Pro CS5 from a copy of CS4 within the CS4 Master Collection, or am I only entitled to upgrade to the entire Master Collection CS5?
Thanks!

I upgraded from the CS 4.0 Master Collection to the CS 5.5 Master Collection myself. If you use the other products in the Master Collection you should upgrade the whole thing. Photoshop, AE and DreamWeaver have had some nice new features added since version 4. Keep in mind Audition is now included with the Master Collection.

Invalid Serial number for Adobe CS5 Creative Suite Master Collection

I bought a macbook pro off of Kijiji the other year and it came with the Adobe CS5 Creative Suite Master Collection. Just the other month I upgraded my system to OS X Yosemite and now every time I try to open my products, it asks for the serial number which, when entered is said to be invalid. Also, I don't have much information about the Adobe Products because the guy I bought it from didn't send the information with my computer. Can anybody help!

1st - Lost information
https://www.adobe.com/account.html for serial numbers or subscriptions on your Adobe page... or
Lost serial # http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html
2nd - Mac Yosemite causes problems for some people, especially for OLDER programs

CS5 master collection serial number lookup

Hi,
I have multiple serials (we purchased multiple boxes) and would like to know which one is active on my machine.
Is there a way to see the CS5 Master Collection serial somewhere?
Thanks,
Maxime

This is not possible. Best step, deactivate the product from the help menu. Make a list of the machines and serial and reactivate again. So you know what serial is tight to what machine.
Good luck!

Cannot Install Multimedia Apps onto MacBook Pro from CS4 Master Collection

I am trying to install the Master Collection to my MacBook Pro.
It has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor 2.2GHz
2GB RAM
Mac OS 10.5.6
20GB hard drive space free
I am installing from a Master Collection license. The serial number is accepted, but when I go to select the components to install, all of the multimedia apps are grayed out. So no After Effects and no Premiere.
I deselected all other options, and they still aren't available to install.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this MacBook Pro underpowered?
Help! Thanks...

Thanks Rob. Let me break it down:
* Multicore Intel® processor
--Yes, it's a Intel Core 2 Duo processor 2.2GHz
* Mac OS X v10.4.1110.5.4
--Well, it's 10.5.6 but I don't know if that's causing a problem or if adobe just hasn't updated their spec page. I suspect the latter since it will allow me to install all non-AV applications.
* Java Runtime Environment 1.5
--Yes... up to 1.6.0
* 2GB of RAM
--Yes
* 26.3GB of available hard-disk space for installation
--Yes, although the spec page on the web site for Premiere has a lower value of only 10GB.
* 1,280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0compatible graphics card
--Yes. 1440 x 900
--Graphics card is NVIDIA 8600M GT
--NVIDIA's site says "Full OpenGL® support, including OpenGL 2.1"
* Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader
Model 3.0
--Really shouldn't stop the install, but would not know where to look for this.
* Dedicated 7200 RPM hard drive for DV and HDV editing; striped
disk array storage (RAID 0) for HD; SCSI disk subsystem preferred
--This might be the sticking point. The drive is rated at 5400RPM. But it seems odd that this would stop the install of every AV component. Even if it did, I cannot be the first MacBook Pro user to have this problem. Would adding an external FireWire drive solve the issue? Don't know right now.
* DVD-ROM drive (SuperDrive required for DVD creation)
--Yes. SuperDrive
* Blu-ray burner required for Blu-ray disc creation
--Not applicable.
* Core Audiocompatible sound card
--Not sure how to check this. Wouldn't I need to have, say, "Logic" software to check this? I have listed "Intel High Definition Audio".
* QuickTime 7.4.5 software
--Yes. Version 7.5.5
* Broadband Internet connection required for online services
--I am not connected to the net during the install, but this shouldn't be the problem.
So the only potential problem I see is the RPM of my hard drive. Would this prevent the install? Why doesn't the installer just tell me this? Can I hook up an external FireWire drive that's 7200RPM and get this to work?
Also, could my 10.5.6 be the issue?
All suggestions are appreciated.

Trouble completing installation upgrade to PP CS5 from DVD.

Trouble completing installation upgrade to PP CS5 from DVD. I am 99% through the installation, but says I need to close safarinotificati to continue. All my applications were closed, including Safari and I've never heard of safarinotificati
Please advise of anyone knows what I can do. The only option in the window is to cancel the installation.

Hi Lanaid,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Please open activity monitor and check if there is any entry for safari in there.
If yes, please close the process and then try.
Thanks

Need master collection serial number to work on single product.

I have a license from creative cloud for adobe master collection, but I'm trying to install a few programs from it on my 2007 MacBook Pro running OS X.6.8 (2 gigs of ram). The problem I'm having is, the master collection installer refuses to run. But I can run the individual downloadable installer for Illustrator, but my master collection serial number doesn't work on it. What are my options?

Hi Dave,
To use Creative Cloud on your system , you dont require any Serial Number . Simply enter the Adobe ID and the password that you have used while placing the order (even for the individual CS6 Products that are part of Cloud ) and it should automatically Serialise the CS6 Product that you have got .
Thanks .

Upgrade to InDesign CS6 from CS5

I downloaded an upgrade to InDesign. I currently have CS5 and I downloaded the CS6 upgrade but upon installation, it said my old serial number for my existing product was not valid, but it is definitely my CS5 serial number. It is on file at Adobe and it is on my original box. HELP!

you'll be prompted for the cs6 serail number, first. only after successfully entering that and the installer finding cs5 is not installed will you be prompted for the cs5 serial number.
so, make sure you're entering the correct number at the correct time.
if you're certain you are, you can either install cs5 first and then install cs6 or contact adobe support, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

Adobe CS5 Master Collection, Serial number check?

I bought CS5 master collection for windows off ebay, he has the trail boxed version and the email with serial number full version serial from adobe. I got it cheap I wouldn't have bought it if ebay didn't have buyer protection (if it's fake I can get my money including shipping back). when I get it how to I verfiy the serial is a legitamate one, that can be upgraded and is issued by adobe, instead of a generated one?
Thanks

You can call Adobe customer service, provide them the serial number, and they will be able to tell you
if it is legit

Upgrade CS6 Design Premium to CS6 Master Collection?

Why can I upgrade CS5 or CS5.5 Design Premium to CS6 Master Collection, but not CS6 Design Premium? Is there really no upgrade path within the same version?
One of my new designers needs to do video production work. I'd rather pay $1,049 to upgrade his suite instead of $999 to buy the standalone After Effects application. Any chance there is actually an upgrade path, just not one that appears in the upgrade panel?

That's option #2 if nobody knows of Another Way.
Follow-up question: the new designer has a straight purchase of CS6 Design Premium but my existing designers have upgrades from CS5 or CS5.5. Is it possible to purchase a CS5.5 upgrade and have him 'swap' serial numbers with another designer on my team without creating all sorts of conflicts, re-installs, calls to Adobe support, etc.?

Upgrade only Indesign CS5.5 to CS6 (instead of whole Design Premium)

Hi,
is it possible to upgrade only my Indesign CS5.5 to CS6, instead of upgrading my whole Design Premium Suite?
I purchased the indesign-upgrade, but now I can't install it.
thanks!

you should contact adobe support. if anyone can help you upgrade from a suite to an individual producet, then can.
i don't believe they will be able to do that in which case you'll probably need to contact them about a refund.
so, in either case, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

Software invariably gets the blame when it does not work as expected and your issue may in fact be a software bug.
However, reasons for software problems are many and varied including old or bad hardware, poorly configured systems or operating system issues such as permissions. All, some or none of those may apply to your computer.
Hard to tell without working through the troubleshooting steps systematically.

CS5 Student Editions-Master Collection

I know this is premature, but will Adobe offer the severely-discounted student edition for Master Collection CS5?
I know the CS4 MC wasn't available as a student edition, but I thought this might change with CS5. I would highly suggest Adobe make the complete suite available at their student discount since some students need the entire suite for their projects.
Thanks.

Yes, I am in the US. I apologize for not clarifying. There are, at least from what I'm seeing, two different education versions. There is an academic version and a student version. The academic version is discounted, but not as much as the student version, which comes direct from Adobe. For example, on AcademicSuperstore.com, for the Design Premium package, the academic version costs $599 while the college student version costs $399. From what I could tell, Master Collection CS4 was only available in the academic version. I hope things change for CS5 as I, a college student myself, could actually afford it at the Adobe student price.

Can I upgrade to inDesign CS5 WITHOUT installing Pagemaker 6.5 plus?

I'm on Windows Vista 64 and I need inDesign CS5. Since Vista won't let me install my Pagemaker 6.5 plus, I was wondering if I can just input the licence from Pagemaker.
Thanks

It means that there is more than one upgrade. You can upgrade from earlier versions of InDesign or from Pagemaker. These have the same price but if you buy the InDesign upgrade from earlier versions of InDesign it won't accept your PM serial number.
You need to buy the correct PM to InDesign upgrade package which will prompt you for a Pagemaker serial number when installing.
Is that a bit more clear?
Bob
