Upgrading CS4 Design Premium to CS5.5 Design Standard

Hi.
I'm currently running the CS4 Design Premium software on my mac, but I want to upgrade to the latest software while I can still get the education price.
This time, however, I think I will get CS5.5 Design Standard rather than Design Premium to save money as I don't use Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks as often as I do the other programs.
So, my question is: If I upgrade Bridge, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to CS5.5, and Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks stay as CS4 versions, will this cause problems, or will they still be fine to use together?
Thanks.

My understanding of educational pricing is that it works for the first purchase of a Creative Suite product. Adobe is very generous because it lets you keep the product after you leave school.
However, there is no such thing as an educational upgrade price. If you want to upgrade your software, you pay the same price as everyone else. Upgrade pricing show shown on the Adobe website. (It's much too complicated for me to remember pricing for all the various upgrades.)

  • Upgrade CS4 Production Premium to CS5 Web Premium?

    I need to get Adobe Dreamweaver for some web work. Rather than spend $399 for DW, I thought I would spend $599 for the upgrade from CS4 Production Premium to CS5 Web Premium... These suites hace a several programs in common but the thing is, I still need to use Encore and the Media Encoder that only exist in Production Premium. After I install the CS5 Web Premium, will I be able to still use (officially or un-officially) a few of my CS4 Production Premium applications on the same system?
    Thanks...

  • Upgrading from CS4 Design Standard to CS5.5 Design Standard

    Hopefully a simple question. I am currently running CS4 Design Standard and wish to upgrade to CS5.5 Design Standard. My version of CS4 itself was an upgrade from the full installation version software of CS2 (I managed to skip the CS3 stage using a previous Adobe upgrade deal). Am I right in thinking that although the CS4 was an upgrade package it is now my 'standard platform' so to speak, and therefore I can use upgrade software again to take me up to CS5.5? I have the serial number for the CS4 software.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    That is correct. Make sure you get the right upgrade…there are several.

  • How to upgrade from CS2 Premium to CS4 Design Standard

    Have had CS2 Premium running on my Vista machine (32bit) for some time now without problems.  Recently purchased CS4 Design Standard upgrade, but have left it in the box for some time.  Things have calmed down, ready to try the upgrade.  Is there a definitive recommended approach to this - i.e. just install over or remove existing.  I've ready countless problems, suggestions etc., but felt by now, there must be a right way to do this.  Appreciate any guidance,
    Larry

    sorry to be a pita, just want to minimize potentail problems.  A few more questions then:
    1.  So are you saying the install doesn't overaly on CS2 but in fact keeps it and installs CS4 separately?  That's a lot of wasted mb.  Or
    2. am I given a choice upon install - over CS2 or new?  And
    3. if I install in a separate directory, will uninstall of CS2 later on once i'm comfortable with CS4 delete any shared files?

  • Installing CS4 Design Standard, upgrade version

    Hi everyone, I have a question about the installation process of (the upgrade version of) CS4 Design Standard; the operating system of my PC is Windows XP Pro (SP3), as up-to-date as possible ;)
    The version of CS I'm currently using is CS2 Premium.
    Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but am I right in assuming I can install CS4 without removing (or hampering!) my current installation?
    (If this is indeed true, I would be rather pleased. I need the new Camera Raw (as the upcoming EOS 5D Mk II isn't supported by version 4.x), but I'm currently working on a large project involving Photoshop & Illustrator -- and I *definitely* do not want to change versions half-way through.)
    One thing worries me the most -- what about Acrobat? CS2 came with version 7, but I have read that Acrobat isn't as well-behaved as the 'proper' CS products.
    All help is highly appreciated.

    Just install it. CS2 won't be touched but you'll be prompted to allow
    the installer to uninstall Acrobat 7.

  • Installing CS4 Design Standard as an upgrade from InDesign

    Installing CS4 Design Standard as an upgrade from InDesign CS on Mavericks OS but serial numbers not valid.  Is there a keystroke to override this hangup?

    Thanks kglad,  I have attempted all of your suggestions with no success.  This is a specific unique issue requiring a special set of keyboard commands to unlock or override my s/n.  The product is an upgrade from an old InDesign CS.  The InDesign CS is not on the harddrive, I cannot install the InDesign CS again after Mavericks upgrade.  The CS4 install routine does not present an opportunity to enter the InDesign CS s/n when I attempt a trial install and launch. The initial install required a call to Adobe support and special keystrokes were provided from support to "open" the software.  Please help.  Adobe support via CHAT are not able to access this information.

  • How to install the CS4 design standard in Windows 7?

    I bought the CS4 design standard and install it in Win XP.
    Recently, I upgraded my OS to Win7.
    However, when I wanted to reinstall the CS4 design standard, it failed.
    So I tried just install one function of that design standard : Acrobat 9.0 Pro.
    That installation succeeded. But when I want to use it,
    it shows that I need to initiate with other CS4 functions, such as CS4 photoshop to make it work.
    Is anyone can help me? Thanks!

    Hi s2007,
    What was the error message that you encountered when you tried to install CS4?
    We might have to check the install logs for the installation failure.
    Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for information on how to review your installation logs
    You might also want to try the following steps:
    > Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
    > Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
    > Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

  • Before I install CS4 (design standard) do I need to manually or otherwise remove CS1 (the original Creative Suite)?

    Before I install CS4 (design standard) do I need to manually or otherwise remove CS1 (the original Creative Suite)?
    I am using an iMac OS 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB, 800 MHz. AllI know is that you can't upgrade from CS1.
    I am in the misdt of several production projects and can't afford a mistake or down time. Thanks for any and all help.
    P.S. Is Snow Leopard compatiable with CS4?
    Thanks, Compositor Rick

    You can upgrade from CS1 to CS4. CS1 will be out of the upgrade path when CS5 is released.
    You don't need to remove CS1 it does not conflict with CS4. I have CS1 through CS4 installed and playing nicely together.
    CS4 is compatible but  I would stay with 10.5.8 until Apple gets most of the bugs worked out of Snow Leopard. that is usually about the 4th update.

  • Where to download CS4 Design Standard?

    Anyone know where to download Creative Suite 4 Design *Standard*?
    It gets its own product page here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/designstandard/
    But the "Try" links all point to Creative Suite 4 Design *Premium*. Not sure why that is.
    I'm a paid/registered user of the former, but my serial number doesn't work in the latter, even just to unlock whatever features come with Standard.

  • Installing CS4 Design Standard Wont Allow Illustrator to Install

    I am trying to install CS4 Design Standard and it will not allow me to check the box to install Illustrator.  I have had Illustrator CS4 on my machine in the past but have deleted it.  Anyone know what I can to to be able to install Illustrator CS4.  I need to because I have now upgraded to Snow Leopard.

    You don't delete Adobe apps anymore you use the uninstaller. So download the CS4 cleanscript to remove all traces of CS4 and reinstall everything.

  • CS4 Design Standard, Mac Pro Towers, and RAM recommendations

    We're considering upgrading our design towers from:
    G5 Dual 1.8GHz
    2GB RAM
    10.3.9
    Adobe Creative Suite CS1
    Quark 6
    to:
    Mac Pro 2x 2.8GHz
    10.5.4
    Adobe CS4 Design Standard
    Quark 8 (I know, I know.)
    We'll be spending most of our time in QuarkXpress, Photoshop CS4, and a bit of Illustrator CS4. We hope to eventually migrate to InDesign CS4, but for now our workflow won't allow it. We'll also be running Microsoft Office 2008 applications.
    My question: how much RAM should we install? I don't want to buy more than I need, but want to get the optimal amount for the applications we'll be running. We work on 50-page or so Quark docs, with some time spent with 50MB or so Photoshop files. What's everyone's experience and recommendations?
    Thanks!

    Start with 8 gigs and make sure you don't buy it from Apple. I recommend
