Upgrading from an educational version of Flash.

Hey all, I'm using Flash MX 2004 Educational and was wondering if it's possible to upgrade to CS3/CS4 from this package, or would I have to purchase the full product since it's only an educational version.
Regards, Phil.

If it is not clearly outlined in their web store, you'll probably need to contact sales at Adobe to see what they are offering as far as upgrades goes. I don't know if they follow the same allowances that Macromedia did, but there was a limit as far as how far back and upgrade to a new version would be allowed.

I want to upgrade from my current version of Flash v11.9.900.117 to the current v11.9.900.152. On cl

I want to upgrade from my current version of Flash v11.9.900.117 to the current v11.9.900.152. On clicking on the Flash player link in the Downloads section of the Adobe home page I am taken to what looks like the 'Flash Player' download page with an 'install Flash' button in the bottom right hand corner. However, when I click on this button I am directed back to the Adobe home page. Could this be something to do with my AV?.

Bypass the downloader/installer and download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Upgrade from 4 Education version to CS4

Hello,
We recently purchased the upgrade to CS4, we currently have 4.4 Education version. When I try to activate and finish my installation by entering the serial number I have issues. The serial number I have begins with letters and has a different amount of numbers than the one CS4 is requesting. Is this a compatability issue between the education version and CS4? Did we purchase the wrong upgrade?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I didnt even know contribute went to 4.4 I thought 4.1 or 4.11 was the last version in the 4 series.

Photoshop CS4 Extended upgrade from CS3 Student Version

I was looking for the Student upgrade from CS3 to CS4 for Photoshop, but could not find it.
I only saw the regular upgrade edition, not the student one.
Could anybody please help me?
Thanks in advance

There is no such thing as a student upgrade. Your educational version of Photoshop entitles you to upgrade to the commercial version of Photoshop but you'll pay the same price as everybody else.
I'm assuming that ($199.99) is still cheaper than buying a new, full educational version.

Upgrade Dreamweaver 8 Educational Version to Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
I have two questions:
1. I currently have Dreamweaver 8 EDUCATIONAL VERSION; I need
to upgrade to CS3 EDUCATIONAL VERSION. Is it possible to upgrade
educational software or should I just buy CS3?
2. If I do buy CS3, will I have to uninstall Dreamweaver 8 (
I currently have Studio 8 and Web Bundle 2)
Thank YOU!!!!

for a correct answer, you'll have to check with the people at
the adobe
online store customer service or with an authorized academic
outlet.

You won't have to uninstall- the new software will go into a
different
folder and won't interfere or overwrite anything from the
previous version.
You can still use the prior version, but if on windows you
can't run it at
the same time you have cs3 open. You can manually uninstall
it or parts of
it if you wish to save HD space.

Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Extended version 13.0 x64 to the latest version?

Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Extended version 13.0 x64 to the latest version?

There are three current version of CS6 perpetual versions Mac version 13.0.6 and Windows Version version 13.0.1.3 and there is a creative cloud sibscruption version 13.1.2.
If you running Windows on a 64Bit system and install Perpetual CS6 it would have installed at version 13.0.0 and the be updated to version 13.0.1.3. Both a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version of Photoshop would have been installed on your windows system. The 32 bit version will be in your windows "Program Files (x86)" tree anf the 64 bit version in the "Program Files" tree there should be two startup icon in the start button for starting CS6.
There would also be a 32 bit and 64 bit windows subscription version installed on windows.
Mac CS6 is 64bit only.

Upgrade from CS2 Education to CS5 Full Commercial?

Hello,
I'm new to this forum. I have a question regarding upgrading to CS5. I don't think there's been another question on this specific question I have. If there is, sorry for posting it again.
Basically, I have a copy of the CS2 Design Premium Education version. Now I would like to upgrade it to the CS5 Design Premium Commercial version. I didn't need to work from home previously, so never really needed the commercial licence for my laptop. But now it's time to get one so I can work anywhere.
I know there is an upgrade from CS2 to CS5 version that I can purchase but it doesn't tell me if it can be used on the Education version too.
Can anyone confirm that the upgrade does work on an Education version too?
Thanks heaps.
Leanne

You brought up a few issues here.
(1) If you bought an upgrade that you cannot use, please call Adobe Customer Support (via phone) and see what can be done to let you return the software. There should not be any problem if this is within 30 days of purchase, but even if not, they should be supportive. If the first agent you speak to can't assist, ask for their supervisor.
(2) The copy of CS3 that was installed on your Mac by your employer is likely a volume license which cannot be upgraded via a standard upgrade license. Note that if your employer installed the software using their volume serial number, that software license belongs to your employer and not you personally. It that employer is in fact your ex-employer, you no longer have legal rights to use that software which was licensed to your ex-employer. (Note that purchasers of volume licenses cannot unbundle a volume license by either giving away copies such as to former employees or sell such copies!)

Can a CS5 Professional license, upgraded from CS2 Educational license, be transferred?

As I understand it:
1. Educational Licenses cannot be transferred
2. If you upgrade an Educational to a Professional, it replaces the old license (stop me if I'm wrong)
So, I just want to know if the newer, Professional license can be transferred to another person, just like any other professional license?

Once one has a full license (they are not known within Adobe as a professional license), it does not matter whether it was obtained via an upgrade from an academic or educational version or not. The license has the same transfer privileges as if the full product, not an upgrade, was purchased. Once the upgrade is completed and you transfer the license, you may no longer use the original academic or educational license.

Upgrade from FMS 3.5 to Flash Media Interactive Server no apps working

I sucessfully upgraded from FMS to FMIS. In the Admin it shows that the license is now Flash Media Interactive Server r405 I believe.
The live and vod services continue to work as expected.
On a separate development server I have developed a number of applications that I want to move to the new production server. Nothing connects at all on the new server. In the Admin, all the applications show as being available.
Is there something I need to do to make it work?
I don't want to post details on line but willing to share if someone can help out?
Boss really wants to make the $4000 upgrade work if you know what I mean...

Thank you. If you don't mind, I would prefer to do it here although I am
happy to post the final results for the thread. I used to work at MM
and Adobe before that so I think there is great value in one to many
support.
1. How did you upgrade - using license file or license keys - i suppose license key?
License key. Just copied and pasted into the server admin's license screen.
2. Did you restart your server after putting in the serial key? If not , please restart, for licensing changes to take place, you need to restart the server.
Yes. I did, but I did it from the admin, not the start and stop applets.
3. If you have restarted and you are facing same issue - can you check your logs and see what error messages are you getting, you can check edge.00.log,core.00.log and master.00.log.
This is from the Edge.log. I am not really sure what it says, but it
coincides with when I entered the key.

4. If I am not mistaken you have upgraded from Streaming Server to Interactive Server, am i right?
Well the name on the screen was Flash Media Server 3.5 It streams just
fine, but I get really confused with all the names of the servers frankly.
5. Also which version of FMS are you using?
3.5
Thank you so much for your help. I am trying not to have to deinstall
the server and reinstall it. If I can avoid that, please let me know.
FWIW, this is the code I used to test to see if the server was accepting
connections to an unsigned app.
package
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
public class FMS3Connect extends Sprite
private var nc:NetConnection;
private var rtmpNow:String;
private var msg:String;
private var connectText:TextField;
private var posX:Number;
function FMS3Connect ()
nc=new NetConnection();
nc.addEventListener (NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,checkConnect);
rtmpNow="rtmp://www.letsgoexpo.com/connect";
trace (rtmpNow);
//rtmpNow="rtmpe:/connect";
nc.connect (rtmpNow);
private function checkConnect (event:NetStatusEvent):void
connectText=new TextField();
msg=event.info.code;
connectText.width=250;
connectText.text=msg;
addChild (connectText);
posX=connectText.stage.stageWidth;
connectText.x=100;
connectText.y=175;
Of course it has a little SWF that goes with it, but there isn't
anything there except this.
On the development server this works and shows the connect.
Thanks for your help. I will be checking mail frequently after noon
pacific. I don't know where you are located so I guess you get mail out
whenver you can.

Retrieving Missing Sync Settings When Upgrading From an Older Version of Firefox to the latest version.

I initially set up my Sync account using an add-on for an older version of Firefox and have since upgraded to the latest version. But now my browser acts as if I don't have a sync account set up at all. When I attempt to create a new account, it says that my email address is already being used which tells me that my sync information is still on the the servers. So how do I retrieve my sync settings when settings are missing within my browser?

I resolved the problem in Snow Leopard by logging out of my (admin) account and logging into my daughter's account on the same machine. She doesn't have admin privileges, so when I tried to install Firefox 4 in her account, I had to authenticate with my admin identity and PW. Installation went smoothly after that. My guess is that you could also simply create a new account on the same machine and install Firefox 4 from that. I have no idea why this works.

Can I upgrade from iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion? or iPhoto '09...

Can I upgrade from iPhot '08 (ver 7.1.5) to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion or iPhoto '09?

You should only get that message if you are attempting to install the same version of iPhoto that is already on your computer.
Should you upgrade your current version of '08 (7.1.5) to anything higher, including '11 (9.2.1), it will upgrade your current library with all your photos and not create an additional application or library.

Possible to prevent Firefox from loading two versions of Flash, without disabling PLID scan?

Our IT department—what a great way to start a question—does not roll out regular updates for Flash. To bridge this security gap for Firefox on my work computer, I copy the following files:
* flashplayer.xpt
* FlashPlayerPlugin_<version>.exe
* FlashUtil32_<version>_Plugin.exe
* NPSWF32_<version>.dll
from C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash on another machine and paste them to
C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Plugins on my work machine. When Firefox starts, it scans the various locations (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning) and finds both this version and of course the outdated version originally installed, which IT does not update (currently 11.1.102.55). This effectively updates Flash, and until IT finds a solution to distribute updates I'll have to continue to update Flash manually (Java is unfortunately not so easy to fix), but still leaves me with a problem.
My perceived problem is that Firefox still scans the default installation directory of Flash and thus finds the outdated version. Under Add-ons > Plug-ins, I can select from "Ask to Activate," "Always Activate" and "Never Activate." If I select "Ask to Activate" for the current version (12.0.0.43) and "Never Activate" for the old version (11.1.102.55), upon restarting Firefox it sets both to "Ask to Activate." I conclude that Firefox does not treat separate Flash versions independently. Since constantly being prompted to activate Flash is bothersome, I could just set both to "Always Activate," but that leaves an old, even-more-compromised-than-the-current version of Flash activated.
The best solution, I suppose, would be to uninstall the outdated version of Flash, but I don't have the administrative rights to do so, and don't want to pester our IT administrators. I could prevent Firefox from scanning the directories specified in the Windows registry for PLIDs (see above link), but this would prevent it from finding my also-outdated-but-only-installed Java Plug-In, which I keep thinking I need. The behavior I'm after is to prevent Firefox from scanning or finding the old Flash version, while still finding my Java Plug-in. How could I go about this?
Thanks

Maybe you can check the pluginreg.dat file to see if you can disable/remove the other Flash plugin and make the file read-only to prevent changes.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

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.

Error Upgrading from the Evaluation Version of Microsoft Lync Server 2013

Hi,
I try to upgrade from Evaluation to full Version using:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg521005.aspx
but after i run: msiexec.exe /fvomus server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
i get a popup:
"Another version of this product is already installed. installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."
Get-CsServerVersion :-> Microsoft Lync Server 2013 (5.0.8308.0): Evaluation license key installed.
Any ideea?

Hi Iulius
As your upgrading the Licence on the Lync 2013 FE it shouldn't care about the Lync 2010 Environment. As your moving from Eval to Full Licence on 2013. I have come across the below url that might help.
http://pei.com/2013/03/how-to-change-lync-license-from-evaluation-to-licensed/
http://jackstromberg.com/2013/02/how-to-activate-lync-evaluation-to-licensed-version/
I would personally go with from Lync Management Shell with Elevated Permission
cd /
cd /d: (Other what other drive letter)
cd /Setup\Amd64\Setup
msiexec.exe /fvomus Server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
But that's just me Id rather run the command from the directory than pointing to it.
