Upgrading From PS CS3 to PS CS5

Hello all,
When I upgraded from PS 7 to PS CS I don't reacll having to enter the serial # for PS7. I believe PS CS picked it up automatically, not sure. The updrade from CS to CS3 seemed to work in a similar fashion. However, it's been a while and my memory could be failing. But that's OK, I'll be ordering more modules soon. Would that I could!
I am presently working with an old but trusty Power Mac G5 and will soon be upgrading to a Mac Pro. When I get the PS CS5 upgrade, can I install that on the Mac Pro and simply insert the Serial # for CS3, since CS3 will not be installed? That sounds reasonable to me, but I'm sure there might be a glitch there somewhere. I just checked PS CS3 and it seems that I have never registered it, will that csuse a problem? I've been using it for more than 3 years, so is it too late to register? I don't know how I missed that.
Thank you,
Gary

Register EVERYTHING always. You never know when you may hit licensing and activation issues. I was on the phone just a couple weeks ago to sort out CS3 activations due a machine failure. Registering makes the Adobe customer service people, so much more helpful

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.

Should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 non extended

hi im just wondering should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 NON extended...... would i loose options from my extended version?
also i dont use photoshop cs3 that much, does anyone think its worth me upgrading?
thanks
lee

Good day!
I think I read that with 2013 the upgrade path would be shortened, so you are probably not eligible for upgrading anymore.
Apart from that the benefit of purchasing the current version of Photoshop naturally depends on what you are doing with Photoshop (both in terms of which features you use and how much you use the application overall).
Smart Objects have been improved quite a bit, Puppet Warp is an interesting feature, Configurator allows for the easy creation of custom Panels that can combine Tools, Commands, Actions etc., …
But to judge the programm yourself you could just install the trial – mind you, the trial is Photoshop Extended, so you may want to consult the Reference on which features you would not get with Potoshop Standard.
You might also want to look into Cloud Licensing – or at least »Adobe« wants you to …

Upgrading from Photoshop CS3 to CS6

I am upgrading photoshop CS3 to CS6 on Windows 7.
I have downloaded two files: Photoshop 13_LS16.exe and Photoshop_LS167z.
However, it has not installed properly.
I can only open CS6 if I click on the LS167z file with (open with PS).
And although it opens I get the message: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
CS3 is still as it was.

Many thanks
That makes everything clear.
Also thanks for the deletes!

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

I think so, but only via the Creative Cloud, and with a one year commitment. And that upgrade may be only for suites, not individual apps. I didn't look that closely. See the page here:

Upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs5 photoshop

I am trying to upgrade from Adobe photoshop cs3 extended to Adobe photoshop cs5
extended and when I tried to put in serial number to install upgraded photoshop cs5 is did okay but it asked for the serial number from previous photosho
p cs3 I get this "the serial number you entered is valid, but a qualifying product cann
ot be found on this computer.
Can someone please help me!!
Thank you,

Contact Adobe Support. The Software disk may not need to be returned. You might be able to simply purchase the proper license and perhaps pay the difference in cost -- they can tell you the options. I believe that there is an upgrade path from academic software to a regular license.

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.

Upgrading from CS2 'Premium' to Photoshop CS5

I have CS2 Premium and find that I have no use for much of the suite's products, though I use Photoshop quite a bit. I would like to upgrade to the new Photoshop CS5 and was wondering if I can do this from CS2 Premium? All I see in the "upgrade from" choices are Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop CS3 Extended, or Photoshop CS4, CS3, and CS2.
So I don't know what to choose if I can even choose any of these upgrade paths.
Anyone know?

You cannot upgrade individual suite components.

Upgrading from DW CS4 to DW CS5 and behaviors, sites, settings etc

Hi,
I am finally going to be upgrading from Web Premium CS4 to Web Premium CS5, and am dreading losing my site settings, configuration, installed extensions, etc. Please Allay my fears and let me know that your upgrades went painlessly.
I will be installing on OS X (10.6.4) on a macbook pro and macpro.
I can live with the other programs, but dread losing DW settings. I do remember that CS3->CS4 was fairly painless, but CS2->CS3 required me to reinstall everything.
Thank God for Keychain!

Hi,
we talked about that here (hope this helps in your configuration too):

PC crash... getinng back an InDesign CS6 version, which was an upgrade from a CS3 product... looks like the serial number I have is for the initial CS3

I had InDesign CS3... which I upgraded in 2012 to CS6... two days ago my PC crashed... and I need to reload InDesign... I downloaded from Adobe.com InDesign CS6... but when entering my serial number, I got a message saying that my serial n° is valid but that there is no eligible product on my PC... I suspect that my serial n° is related to the initial C3 version I had bought... I guess that I could download CS3 from Adobe.com... and use my serial number... but how I do get back my CS6 upgrade? Thanks a million for any hlep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, here is the situation:
* I am an Adobe customer
* I bought in 2008 CSInDesign CS3 and I have the serial n° [removed by moderator] in my Adobe account (shows as Adobe InDesign, version = CS3, platform = Win)
* In 2012, I upgraded my CS3 to CS6 and I have a serial n° [removed by moderator] for that in my Adobe account (shows as Adobe InDesign, version = 8.0, platform = Win)
After my PC crash, I downloaded InDesign CS6 and use my serial n° of 2012. It doesn't work, as it says my product is not eligible.
So, here is where I stand now...
* I downloaded CS3 and used my serial n° for InDesign CS3. It works. I now have CS3 on my PC
* How do I get back my 'upgrade from CS3 to CS6?
* I have the serial number for that upgrage and I guess I need to download an "upgrade" file somewhere from Adobe. But I cannot find it, I found pages with upgrades, but there are so many different files, I do not have a clue which one to use;
This is now my key question... can someone give me the link to access the file(s) I have to download to upgrade my InDesign CS3 version to InDesign CS6

Upgrading from CS2 Suite (Win) to CS5 Suite (Mac)

Over the last few days I have twice called Adobe UK sales and have been assured that I can easily upgrade my Windows CS2 suite to a Mac CS5 suite.
I was told that all I have to do is enter the CS2 Windows serial number during the CS5 Mac installation and it will be accepted.
However I have found no mention of this anywhere on the internet.
Has anyone been given the same or conflicting advise by Adobe for this type of scenario?

Adobe are even contracdicting themselves re CS5 upgrades.
I was told by the UK sales team that I wouldn't need to submit a letter of software destruction upgrading from CS2 Windows to CS5 Mac.
However, the Adobe on-line representative said I would.
I can understand this requiurement for a straight platform swap of the same version.
However, if I am upgrading, I surely need a valid suite to upgrade from?
If I destroy my CS2 I will no longer have a valid suite any longer!
I have also found out that PhotoShop Mac CS5 will apparently no longer have the ability to print printer profiling targets with colour management disabled. Supposedly Adobe labs are developing a separate utility for printing profiling targets but with no ETA. This means that I will have to continue to use an earlier version of PhotoShop anyway!
With these uncertainties, contradictions and complications I have now cancelled my order.
Thanks again for your help.

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.

Upgrade from Flash CS4 Professional to CS5.5 Professional fails

I am informed that the serial number is valid but that it cannot find a version of Flash to upgrade from, despite the fact that CS4 is installed. On the drop down menu of valid products only Flash 5 is available. Any idea what's going on?
