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.

Upgrade from CS4 Master Education to CS5 Master Education

Hi,
I just bought the CS4 Master Student Edition in February 2010 and I didn't realize that there was going to be a new version so soon. If I wanted to upgrade to the CS5 Master Student Edition would it just be the commercial upgrade price or is there a student discount on an upgrade? (I know that the there's a big discount already, but I just thought to ask first.) The upgrade looks like it's amazing and I'd love to be able to use the new edition for my remaining college courses but I'm not sure if I'd be able to squeeze out $900 after we just bought CS4 this year so if there was a discount that would be awesome!
Thank you so much,
Katie

There are no upgrades available between student or educational versions of Adobe products. You can either upgrade to the commercial version of CS5 from your student version of CS4 or you can buy a full CS5 student version (as you noted, the student versions are very highly discounted), whichever is more economically advantageous to you.

MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED

Hello,
I'm interested to find out how to MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED. Its my intention to buy the upgrade not thru
download, but purchasing the dvd's needed eventually used if necessary.
Thank you

No, forget it. Adobe only sells current versions. How would you even be able to buy a used upgrade that is tied to someone else's previous version? Makes no sense at all and is clearly a breach of the EULA - whoever may sell you this "upgrade" would have to include all his previous versions leading up to that point, making it a completely independent full license that has no relation whatsoever to your CS4. And you would still have to run the license transfer drill.

Am I still eligible for an upgrade from CS4 to CS5 from a PC to a Mac?

I am getting a new computer (PC to a Mac) and have CS4 Student Edition and want to upgrade to CS5 on my new Mac. Is that possible?

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium Upgrade from CS4 [Mac][OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)
It is $349 but it is the software on disc, not in cloud.

Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

Hi There,
I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
I had to call the US because:
The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
What a joke.
I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
Cheers

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012? I have not found the option to do so.

My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...). I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource. Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800. Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people. In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza. Not a bad deal. If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months. For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced. I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner. Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications. I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision. If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers. But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time. What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade. NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month. These Germans tend to hold grudges.

Upgrade from CS4 Extended Education to CS6

Two questions here. I purchased the educational version of CS4 Extended back when I was in school. No longer in school, I wish to upgrade to CS6 non-educational. First question: Can I upgrade using my educational licence to a non-educational one? Second question: Can I upgrade from CS4 Extended to CS6 Standard? I have no need of the extras with Extended.
Thanks.

Yes and yes. refer to the buying guide on the product pages.

Upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server

Hi,
I have been looking on adobe site to check if I can have an upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. I have Indesign CS3 license but need to migrate to Indesign CS5 server. Does anybody know whether it is possible to buy upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. Or will I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Any help on this is appriciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have been using Indesign CS3 for generating automated reports. These reports are large in numbers. Limitation with Indesign CS3 is it only allows single instance of the application. And hence I am forced to generate these reports in sequence using multiple servers. Indesign CS5 server on the other hand seems to allow multiple instances running at the same time. This would mean I can generate multiple reports at the same time. This will reduce time to generate these reports and also limit the number of servers. This is the reason I want to migrate from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. However, I am not sure if I can get direct upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server or I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Do you have any idea on this, please suggest. Thanks in advance for your response.
Regards,
Chaitan.

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.

Upgrade from CS3 Design Standard to CS5 Design Standard

A very simple, ignorant question that I cannot find an answer to!
Do I keep the CS3 suite on my Mac prior to installation of CS5 or do I remove it beforehand? If I leave CS3 installed, what is the best way to remove it after hopefully, the successful upgrade to CS5, without maybe deleting overwritten or updated files, as I do not wish to have two versions of the applications on my computer?
I had this problem on a Windows PC upgrading from Photoshop to CS2; the old version of Photoshop remained on the PC and I was nervous of deleting it incase there were shared files that were required for the new suite.
Thanks in anticipation!

Thanks again Steve. However, in this case, the clean install did refer to CS, in other words deleting all trace of previous versions before installing the upgrade. Honest! Some even suggested that it should be installed in the Mac equivalent of 'safe' mode, which I thought was taking it a bit far! The consensus to date is to leave CS3 installed, so we'll see what happens when the update is delivered tomorrow & I attempt to install it! Thanks again.

Upgrade from CS4 Design Standard to CS4 Design Premium ?

No text

I would call Adobe Customer Support again and ask for a manager!
The price that was quoted was that for upgrading from Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop CS3 Extended to Photoshop CS4 Extended as opposed to an upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Photoshop CS4 Extended which should be approximately $300 (the difference between the price a new license for Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended). Ask for a manager and hopefully they will understand what you are talking about. (Contact me via e-mail off-forum if you still have problems!)

Upgrade from Cs4 Web standard to CS5 - only premium available?

I have for the moment CS4 Web Standard software package from Adobe.
But I noticed that there is no upgrade to CS5 Web Standard. It seems there is only a Web Premium.
May we expect that there will be a Standard upgrade also?
Kind regards
Martine

John,
That is not good news. My CS4 Web Standard is also a Student Version. I'm no longer a student.
So can I still upgrade by purchasing the Premium Upgrade.
Or is there a possibility that I can upgrade the Dreamweaver component?
Or is it also possible to install only Dreamweaver CS5 next to my CS4 package?
Thanks for assisting me
Kind regards
Martine

CS4 Web Premium to CS5 Design Premium??

Hello there!
I have a question regarding upgrades to these two creative suites. First of all, is this possible? I found in some forums that you can upgrade to whatever type of CS you wanted (Design Pre, Design Standard, Web Pre, etc). I have CS4 Web Premium and would like to upgrade to CS5 Design Premium. However, I purchased InDesign CS4 on it's own. Now, if I choose CS5 Design Premium, will this upgrade my standalone InDesign app as well?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

You can no longer buy CS5 products other than used licenses from other people, so what's the point at all? If someone sells you CS5, it will be a full license one way or the other - a complete package or the person's own upgrade including all previous qualifying version, which makes this a moot discussion. Likewise, your standalone ID is irrelevant in such considerations. Switching to another suite does exactly that - you get all programs that are part of the suite, regardless of what you had before, but at the same time may are stuck with the older versions of the programs in the previous suite.
