Upgrading Flash in Design Premium

I have Adobe Design Premium CS3, and I recently decided to upgrade to Flash CS5.5.  Everything was fine until it prompted me for the serial number for my previous version of Flash- and of course, all I have is the serial number for the Design Premium as a whole, not for each individual program.  I tried plugging that in and no luck.
My hard drive did crash almost a year ago and I had to reinstall all my software.  I can't think why that would interfere with this upgrade.
The only other thing I can think of is that I bought the CS3 as a student.  Does Adobe not offer upgrades for student editions?  If not, why?
Is it not possible to upgrade just one program in the Design Premium?  If not, why?

Is it not possible to upgrade just one program in the Design Premium?  If not, why?
Exactly that. Suites can only be upgraded to newer versions of suites. It has been forever this way and is more than clearly spelled out on the buying guide:
You cannot upgrade from products within a suite edition to individual products. To get the latest version of an individual product, you must purchase the full product.
Anyway, you need to contact sales support to sort that out.

    I want to upgrade from cs3 design premium to cs6....how do i do that?

    You cannot. There is no upgrade path from CS3 to CS6 any more. That window closed a couple of years ago.
    Your options now:
    Buy a full new version of CS6, or

  • Can I upgrade to CS6 Design Premium if I own CS5.5 Design Standard?

    Hi there,
    I own CS5.5 Design Standard + Flash CS5.5 + Dreamweaver CS5.
    I'd like to just buy one upgrade to CS6 for all... that would be the Design Premium.
    Can I do that?
    Thanks,

    Yes, you can. Refer to this:

  • Want to upgrade from CS3 [Design Premium] to CS5

    Hi,
    Want to upgrade from Design Premium CS3 to CS5 and saw there's a difference in price from upgrading from CS4 & CS3. Dumb question: If I bought the CS5 upgrade, would I be able to install the suite or would it ask for the previous CS4 version? If it only asks for CS3 I would really save some $$$$$$.
    Can you help,
    Ellen

    What do you mean, there is a difference between upgrading from CS3 and CS4? An upgrade is an upgrade, there is only one price for an upgrade.
    In CS4 (and CS5) Adobe introduced tiered upgrade pricing for suites only.
    http://www.adobe.us/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/
    What is Adobe's tiered upgrade pricing policy?
    Adobe's tiered upgrade pricing policy offers customers who upgrade at every release a lower upgrade price relative to customers who upgrade less frequently. This means that customers upgrading to Creative Suite 5 from Creative Suite 4 will pay a lower upgrade price compared to customers upgrading from an earlier version of Creative Suite.
    Why does Adobe offer tiered upgrade pricing?
    Customers who upgrade regularly have long requested better pricing compared to those who upgrade infrequently. Adobe introduced tiered upgrade pricing in 2008, with the launch of Creative Suite 4, to reward these customers.
    Does tiered pricing also apply to individual Creative Suite components?
    No. The tiered upgrade policy applies only to editions of Adobe Creative Suite and not to upgrades to individual components, such as After Effects, Flash Professional, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and so on. Customers can upgrade to the CS5 version of individual CS components from up to three versions back. The only exception is Adobe Premiere Pro; customers can upgrade to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 from any earlier version of Adobe Premiere.

  • Can I upgrade from CS3 Design Premium to CS6 Design Standard?

    I'm looking to upgrade my CS3 (and may need to as I'm upgrading my Mac OS X and not sure about compatibilty)... of course I know I can upgrade like for like, i.e. go from CS3 Design Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium but I don't really need Dreamweaver and Flash so just wondering if I can upgrade to CS6 Design Standard?
    Also, as I'm still relatively new to this arena and have never upgraded before... how does it work? Do I need to keep my CS3 software (i.e. disks) as well as the new software/disks? i.e. if for whatever reason I may need to re-install down the line...or can I get rid of the CS3 once I get the CS6?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can do that. But you only have a few more weeks. You may want to look into Creative Cloud instead. You'll need the CS3 serial number to upgrade to CS6 but the CS3 apps do not necessarily need to be installed.

  • Upgrading to CS5 Design Premium on iMac, can I still run CS3 Design Premium on MacG5 ?

    I have CS3 Design Premium on my G5 mac. I just bought an iMac and want to install CS5 Design Premium Upgrade in the iMac. After I install the CS5 Design Premium Upgrade, will I still be able to run the CS3 Design Premium on my G5? They are on the same network. These are the only two Mac's I own now. Thanks in advance. 

    Yes, but the upgrade is tied to the original version so they should be on the same machine (which in this case isn't really possible without removing it from one and installing it on the other).
    As I said, as long you only use one machine at a time, I think you can sleep at night knowing that you're within the spirit of EULA.

  • Upgrade Adobe CS4 Design Premium to CS 6

    Hello,
    I bought an Adobe CS4 Design Premium liecense for windows and I want to upgrade it to CS6 on Mac.
    How can I do this and what are the costs ?
    Thank you.

    You don't. You missed your deadlines. You can only buy a fresh CS6 license.

  • CS2 Standard Upgrade to CS5 Design Premium question

    I've never upgraded from CS2 Standard to CS5 Design Premium because I'd heard that if I do upgrade, I won't be able to open and edit my CS2 docs in CS5. That's a huge problem, because I have years of work docs created in CS2 (in all components: InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator). Is this a myth and if not, has that "bug" (in my opinion) been straightened out? I don't want to spend the $$ if it's going to cause me a production nightmare. Thanks for any insight!

    You heard wrong. There are no CS5 apps that cannot open files created in earlier versions.
    That said, going the other way will be a problem for some apps such as InDesign.
    You can get the CS2 Design Standard to CS5 Design Premium upgrade at Amazon for $763 with free shipping: http://amzn.to/bVMlqi
    That will save you a few buck over the Adobe list price.
    HTH,

  • Upgrading from CS3 Design Premium to Illustrator CS6 standalone

    Greetings,
    I have Adobe CS3 Design Premium (I think-- it's one of the complete suites that includes Illustrator CS3). My license is an Education license. I also own Photoshop CS6 (standalone) with an Education license.
    I'm wondering if i can purchase an upgrade to the standalone (not Creative Cloud) version of Illustrator CS6, at the Education price? If so what would the price be and how would I purchase it?
    Thanks.

    NorthOEK,
    I am afraid the educational license of any kind is (still) outside any upgrade system.
    You may try your luck on the download pages, or ask somewhere over there:

  • Error: Upgrade von CS5 Design Premium auf  CS6 Design und web Premium

    Hi, ich möchte ein Upgrade CS6 Design&Web Premium auf meinen iMac(Macosx 10.6.8) installieren.  Habe aktuell noch CS5 Design Premium auf dem Rechner. Starte installation von CD, muss die Seriennumer von CS6 eingeben. Es folgt die Meldung" Die angegebene Seriennr. ist zwar gültig, auf diesem Comp. wurde aber kein als Berechtigungsnachweis geeignetes Produkt gefunden". Daraufhin wähle ich aus der vorgegebenen Liste mein Produkt (cs5 Design Premium) aus und gebe deren Serienummer ein. Daraufhin folgt die Meldung "Die Seriennr. gilt nicht für ein komaptibles Produkt. Geben Sie eine andere Nummer ein." Beide Creative Suites habe ich unter meiner Adobe-ID online registriert. Vielen dank vorab

    Support per Webchat kontaktieren. Völliger Schwachsinn, bei sowas im Forum rumzuposten - hier gibt's nur User, keine Adobe-Offizieleln.

  • Upgrading Indesign from 'Design Premium' CS3 to CS5 - compatibility

    I work in-house in marketing; we're looking at upgrading two of our Adobe Design Premium CS3 suites to the CS5 version. We have four or five CS3 suite licenses but can only afford to upgrade two of them at present.
    My question is about the InDesign element - do we need to have the CS4 version in order to be able to effectively save down to a version that can be used between InDesign CS3 and CS5?
    I'm worried about compatibility internally and externally - we use a lot of freelance designers who mostly use CS5 - this is already causing issues as we cannot open the files they send.
    Any tips/hints you can give would be gratefully received!

    The ONLY way to get a file from CS5 to open in CS3 is to export from CS5 to.idml, open that in CS4, export from there to .inx, and open that in CS3. Ther esults won't look a whole lot like the original CS5 file, especially if any features were added in CS4 or CS5 have been used, and there may be noticable changes in text flow due to text engine differences between versions.
    Working in collaboration across different versions is a lousy workflow.

  • Upgrade indesign from design premium suite to CS5.5 then to CS6

    Hi, I have indesign cs5 as part of the design premium suite. The other in my office have cs3 and purchasing new copies of cs6. can i upgrade to cs6 without paying the £700 price tag? can I upgrade to cs5.5 for free and then pay for upgrade to cs6? 

    DHAArchitecture the complimentary period for upgrades from CS5 to CS5.5 expired some time ago.  I am sorry but you will either want to look at upgrading to CS6 or consider a Creative Cloud membership.  Creative Cloud Membership does also include CS6.
    You can find out more information about the Creative Cloud at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html?promoid=JQPEQ.
    Also if you wish to purchase an upgrade for CS6 please see http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?start=10.

  • Will it be possible to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to PS CS6 only?

    Hi!
    I do own CS4/5 Design Premium and would like to know if it would be possible to get PS CS6 as upgrade from my versions. Or can I only upgrade to Suites?
    Thanks,
    Sven

    You cannot buy an upgrade from a suite version to get just Photoshop CS6.
    You might consider, however, buying a subscription to Photoshop 6 or the CS6 and the Creative Cloud (separately).
    It will be easier to view your options after the official announcement of CS6 which is to happen on Monday, April 23.

  • Where can I download an upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium?

    I am frustrated with the site - cannot find a way to upgrade to CS6 from CS5.

    Hi there,
         You can download Design & Web Premium CS6 from the below link:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=designweb_premium&loc=en_us
    Once you download and install, you need to use CS6 serial number in the first screen and click next. On the next screen when it says "Previous qualifying version not available", please select CS5 Design Premium from the drop down list and enter your CS5 serial number and click next. It should then activate without any issues.

    Jairaj
