Upgrading from old versions

A colleague and I have just received new PC's. They came with
Microsoft Office 2003 pre-installed. Previously we were using
Robohelp 2002 with MS Office 97. When I tried to install RH2002 on
our new PC's it failed as the new MS Office was incompatible. So,
we purchased upgrades to RH6. When I tried to install the upgrades
that fails because we don't have an old version of RoboHelp
installed. The installer prompts for a serial number/key for RH X5,
which we don't have. I spoke to Adobe Tech support who said I
needed to talk to Customer Support, who said I should talk to Tech
Support......
At the moment I can't install my old RH because of MS Office
2003, so I can't upgrade to RH6 which I need to support MS Office
2003. Has anyone ecountered a similar problem in the past? What it
Adobe provide as the solution?
TIA
Mick Mathers

They don't have X5 Colum.
Mick, you could be in trouble here. You can upgrade from any
version. I am not sure if you have to go via Support if it is
earlier than X5 but the issue here is that you don't have your 2002
serial number to start with. The link below tells you what to do
but because your version is outside the parameters, it maybe that
Adobe cannot help you if you did not register.

  • Upgrading from old version

    I'm wondering about the upgrade procedure for AE CS3 and CS4. If I had a old version of AE like, say 5.5, could I upgrade to AE CS3 if I'm on a Mac running Leopard? If I understand correctly AE 5.5 works on Mac OS 9 and below... So does the previous version of AE actually need to be installed or would I just need the serial number?
    Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks

    You don't need to have the previous version installed in your machine. You only need to have the serial number from the old version.
    After Effects CS3 can be upgraded from AE 5.x or newer.
    After Effects CS4 can be upgraded from AE 6.x or newer.

    Hi,
    Incase of upgrade there are two types of upgrade,
    1. Unicode error upgrade.
    2. Non-unicode upgrade.
    What is the difference between SAP UNICODE and NON-UNICODE UPGRADE?
    UNICODE: From Release 6.10, ABAP supports multi-byte coding for characters in Unicode.  Prior to Release 6.10, ABAP used only character sets that were based on single-byte codes u2013 such as ASCII and EBCDIC u2013 or double-byte codes, such as SJIS and BIG5.
    NON-UNICODE: This non-unicode error removal is just to replace any obsolete commands or function modules, tables such as, WS_UPLOAD, UPLOAD, etcu2026
    I have not worked on UNICODE upgrade, so i could not be alble to tell you anything regarding that.
    Normally the below kinds of work comes in a Non-unicode upgrade:
    Tables: Replacing TVARV by TVARVC  -> Table of variant (MANDT fld added)
            Replacing SADR by ADRC  -->address mgmt company data

  • Upgrade from old version being corrupt

    If my version of mac os x 10.4 which is on the computer is corrupt then can I use the upgrade version to mac os x leopard?

    I don't know why not...
    The Leopard install disk is a full install, and you'll be given the option to do an erase and install, or to save your old settings and data during the install.
    Your computer should be left with a full, new, OS...
    Be forwarned, Leopard takes more HD space (about 5Gb more, I believe). Take a look at the requirements before you purchase, if your HD is a smaller one, or your cpu is slower...

  • I did an upgrade from 4.0 to the new 6.0 about 5 months ago. After the upgrade installed it said reboot system to apply upgrade. Now it wont open and keeps telling me that the older version needs to shut down the computer and upgrade the old version.

    Look at original question. When I did the download to the new 6.0 it said everything was fine. Then when I tried to use the firefox again it said an older version needed to shut down my computer so that it could upgrade the old version. It wont let me do anything and all it says is shut down computer so old version can upgrade. It wont let me open the program or remove it or anything. PLease help me with this. I really like Firefox but this has been going on for 5 months now and I still dont get answers from you. How do I fix this???

  • Upgrading from Trial version to Developer Edition

    We installed SQL server 2014 trial edition in 2014 and the trial period just expired. No longer access SQL server 2014. Also in 2014 I purchased the SQL server 2014 Developer Edition.
    I go in the maintenance section of SQL server 2014 and try to upgrade by entering my product key and get an error message that my product key is not valid. I called Microsoft and two different employees confirmed my product key is good.
    Should I be able to upgrade from Trial version to Developer Edition by simply entering my product key?
    Thank you

    Hi cguay01,
    As other post, you should be able to upgrade from Trial Edition to Developer Edition by entering product key from SQL Server setup wizard, you can follow the steps in this similar
    blog. You can also use the following command lines to upgrade SQL Server 2014 Trial to a full version.
    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=<MSSQLSERVER or instancename> /PID=<PID key for new edition>" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    According to your description, the issue that “product key is not valid” might be caused by several reasons such as corrupted installation file, antivirus scanning and so on. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this issue.
    1. Please ensure that your SQL Server installation file is not corrupted. If you are using ISO download, please copy the content of the ISO image to the local disk on your computer and upgrade SQL Server from there.
    2. Make sure you use corresponding license key matched the edition and version of SQL Server.
    3. Make sure that you don’t exceed the limit of allowed activations of the product key.
    4. Turn off any Anti-virus software when upgrading SQL Server.
    There is also a similar thread for your reference.

  • Upgrade path from old version of LabWin 3.1 and NIDAQ to WinXP system

    Hello,  I am trying to help folks at my old university lab recover from a Win95 PC failure with an old version of LabWindows, 3.1 (ca.~1997).
    They have  a WinXP PC and have installed the old 3.1 software on this PC.  My old projects will compile and mostly run, but they are having problems finding a version of legacy NIDAQ that will work in LabWin 3.1 and WinXP. Function calls simply return errors so far, although I suspect they may not have configured the DIO-48 card in NIDAQ yet and the version of NIDAQ they have may not have legacy support for the "easyio" library.
    Does anyone have experience with this?  If it is simply not possible, the second path is to have them buy LabWin2010, but I do not know whether the NI libraries (other than easyio which is easy enough to swap for std  NIDAQ fcn calls) have changed significantly and will require a large code rewrite for the GUI or other NI libs. Third option is to simply install Win95 if they can find disks, and use teh very old NIDAQ on the old PC.
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    I have not seen this exact situation before, but I would be happy to help you out to find what you need. Can you tell me a little bit more about your setup? From what I understand, you have an old program written in LabWindows 3.1 and a DIO-48 card. Are there any other pieces of software or hardware in your setup? It looks like the version of traditionalDAQ you need is 4.9 or lower. Do you know what exact version you had been using? I have sent you a private message to get your email address so that I can send you this driver.

  • How to tell if Yosemite is clean install or upgrade from previous version

    My brand new MacBook Pro arrived last week, with Yosemite already installed on it.
    Having issues with WiFi (after coming out of sleep mode, mbp keeps its self-assigned address rather than getting an address though DHCP or using its old address), I was searching for support on the matter, and one of the solutions often suggested was doing a clean install of Yosemite if the mbp was upgraded from 10.9.
    Seeing that the mbp arrived with Yosemite pre-installed, I'm guessing that it is a clean install, but I'm not sure.
    I wonder if there is a way in telling if the OS was upgraded to the current major version, or if it's a clean install? Even if Apple only ships clean installs, it would be helpful to know if I need to give support to one of the mac-users in our company if it's a clean install or not.

    On my system, the Yosemite upgrade (performed on Oct. 23) left quite a bit of residue that would not be present after a clean install.  The most obvious examples are in /var/db/receipts, which contains BOM files for all of the software installed via the Mac OS installer, e.g.,

  • How do I migrate Actions from Old Version to new?

    I've been using Photoshop 6.0 for years and have many custom actions that I have created myself. I've now downloaded the trial for photoshop CS2. I want to use the actions I've created in version 6 in CS2. How do I migrate these old actions into CS2? What files do I copy to the CS2 folder from my version 6 folder?
    I don't see any difference in the actions files (.atn files) listed in /presets/actions folders. File sizes are the same and I don't see any action group files with the names I saved them in. Where are my custom actions and how do I move these old ones into the new version? My actions were saved in a group called 'My Actions'. I see no .atn file with that name.
    This is the only thing I need to figure out. Upgrading to CS2 is a no brainer -- it has many fixes that version 6 needed. But I don't want to recreate the old actions. There's got to be a way to do this. Please tell me what I need to do.
    Thanks.

    First of all, you should have been using 6.0.1.
    You need to save your Actions before you can move them around. Just putting them into a set is not enough. From the Actions palette flyout arrow, choose New Set (or click on the little folder icon at the bottom of the palette), name it and put your custom Actions in it. Then go to the flyout menu and choose Save Actions. Save the Set to any location you wish (Presets Folder is a good place.
    That will make an .atn file that you can move or copy anywhere you like. You can load it in the new version from its location (flyout arrow> Load Actions) or put (copy) it in the Photoshop Actions folder in Presets which will let you load it by choosing from the menu.

  • 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.
