Upgrading CS4 student version to CS5

I purchased CS4 student edition a couple years ago and am interested in upgrading to CS5. I have since graduated and can no longer get the student edition. So I am wondering if I can upgrade my version of CS4 to the current non-student edition of CS5 or am I going to have to buy the full non-student edition?
Thanks

Studen versions carry full upgrade rights. Make sure you buy the correct upgrade.

Photoshop upgrade from student version

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?

How do i activate the student version of CS5 i purchased?

how do i activate the student version of CS5 i purchased? its for my son who is a student at Digipen

And what exactly? You need to explain better and provide the necessary technical info. Also where did you get CS5? S&T licenses are only available as current versions and require registration with Adobe to prove eligibility.

Student version of CS5

I cannot set up my student version of Photoshop CS5 on my new iMac. It tells me my serial number is not valid even though I paid for the version. Can anyone help? I did have it loaded but could not print. Would always "quit unexpectedly" message when I'd go to print. So, I removed photoshop thinking I would reload it. Now I can't reload it. I did load the trail version and still get the "quit unexpectedly" message with it also. I have an iMac running OS X 10.9.4. Please help.

Hi,
This is the copy of what they had me do. I just tried this morning and like I thought, it does not work. I trashed it all and I’m downloading again. Will try one more time to log in before I contact them again. Just keeping you in the loop since you asked me too. Cheers, V

Upgrading Illustrator CS4 Education Version to CS5

I have a licensed copy of Adobe CS4 Master Collection Education Version which I have used for years with no problem. I would like to upgrade the Illustrator part of the Suite to CS5 and I see a new/sealed boxed one listed on eBay for $200. But before I make that purchase I'm wondering if a CS4 Education Version can be upgrade with what I presume is a regular CS5 version of Illustrator.

Roy,
You should be aware that a legal purchase and use of a used CS6 (or CS5) requires a licence transfer.

Upgrading from student editions to CS5 ?

Hi,
I currently have a student edition of Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, and Illustrator 10. I would like to upgrade these to the Adobe CS5 professional versions, but I am not sure if I can since they are so old. Or can I upgrade these to the Adobe CS5 Design package?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, that won't work. All MX versions (student, full retail etc) are too old to qualify for an upgrade.
Adobe has a "3-versions-back" policy for upgrading these days.
So the only versions eligible for an upgrade to CS5 are DW8, CS3 and CS4.

Upgrade CS4 design premium to CS5.5 standard, what happens with my web apps?

Hi,
I'm planning to upgrade my CS4 design premium to CS5.5 design standard, but I still like to use Dreamweaver from the CS4. Does anyone know if this is possible. I've chatted with an Adobe sales employe who said I can only upgrade to CS5.5 design premium in order to keep using dreamweaver but I read that other people are using different versions of CS simultanously on 1 computer. Any thoughts?
Thanks alot!

I respectfully disagree. The license includes a stipulation that you can continue to use the earlier version during a transition period. There is no set time limit there. I have CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 installed.

Cs4 student version

does anyone know if you can get upgrades if you buy the student version of cs4? I know you can't upgrade it to the full commercial version, but I just want to check that you can still get the normal upgrades. Thanks!

Unless you have read something new, the last I knew, you can take either a retail, an educational, or a student license and buy a retail upgrade when the next release is available. In doing so, you can turn your student license (suited for non-commercial work) into a full retail license (allowed for commercial work).
Adobe licensing has changed in the past few years with the advent of 'student' licenses instead of just 'education' licenses. You should confirm licensing options with Adobe before committing to a purchase.
We're just fellow users here and cannot speak on behalf of Adobe.
You may be confusing updates and upgrades. An upgrade is from one version to a new version with additional features (such as CS3 to CS4) and has a cost. An update is simply a patch to correct errors in the program. Updates are always free, regardless of your license type.

Is it possible to upgrade from Student version Lightroom 3 to a private Lightroom 5?

I'm trying to find out if I can upgrade from my student version of Lightroom 3 to a private version of Lightroom 5, or do I have to buy the whole version of Lightroom 5? I would like to be sure about which to buy before I make a purchase and obviously make a saving if I can just purchase the upgrade.

You can simply buy the upgrade, no need to buy the complete version.

Is there an option to upgrade a student version of Acrobat Pro?

I am looking at buying a student copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI but don't want to do that if a new version is coming out this year and then end up paying for it again. Is there an option to upgrade from one student version to another student version? I would really like to purchase the software as soon as possible.

Consider a subscription.

Upgrade from student version to regular version.

Hi,
I purchased a student version of LR4 about a year ago. Now I want to purchase a non-student version of LR5. Can I just buy the upgrade or do I need to buy LR5? If LR5 will I then have both LR4 and LR5 on my MAC?

Yes, you can buy the upgrade "version" of Lightroom 5. Actually, there is only one version of Lightroom. The program is the same. There are just different licensing provisions. When you install Lightroom 5 you will have both versions on your computer. They will work independently of each other. You can keep Lightroom 4 for as long as you want. I still have it on my computer, but will probably remove it soon because I very seldom use it anymore.
Since you have Lightroom 4 installed, the installation of the new version will find the needed serial number, and you only have to enter the serial number with the new version.

Free Student version of CS5.5 to CS6!

I had to format my computer so first I Uninstalled my free student version of Adobe Master Collection CS5.5 (also deactivated). Later wanted to Install it again so I went thtough my university profile and then it directed me to the adobe page which is for downloading Master Collection. But it was CS6 now so I downloaded and I gave my license ID but did not work! What should I have to do now?
Thank you

It is not install files. it is a serial code for mac and a link to adobe master collection page which I have to download as trial and then use that lisence key. If it helps I am a student of Academy of Art University at San Francisco.

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...
