Upgrading from PSE Version 10 to 11 on a new computer

I bought a new computer and, while at it, the new version of Photoship Elements 11 to replace 10.  The new version is supposed to provide ACR 7.2 support for the RAW files from my new Sony RX100 camera. (Turns out that version 10 can't take ACR past 6.7)
I'm not fond of the idea of a new interface, but will figure it out.
What mistakes will a common user like me make when upgrading and changing computers make?
I have been hoping for and trying to find an Adobe produced article or video on managing the transition seemlessly, but so far no luck.
Suggesions please?
Bill

There aren't any common mistakes, just a common confusion as to where everything went. You'll figure it out.
If you use organizer, repair and optimize your catalog on the old computer and make a full backup there, then restore to to the new computer.

  • Tips for upgrading from LR2 to 3 while switching to a new computer?

    My old mac was a G5 so I finally joined the modern world with a new iMac. On the new machine I've installed LR3, but I'm still running LR2 on the old machine. I want to bring all my pics/catalogs/dbs over (most likely by getting an external HD case for the current drive of the old machine) to the new machine and into LR2. Any tips on how to import everything? Anything to watch out for? I have thousands of images, some of it paid work, and I don't want to lose anything. Thanks.

    Rule No. 1: DON'T IMPORT!!
    This is what I would do:
    On the old machine and LR2, make sure you have one (or just a few)  top-level folders for all your images, and they are showing  hierarchically in your folder panel. You might have to use "Add Parent  Folder" a few times to achieve this.
    With the old drive mounted on the new machine, double-click the LR2 catalog to start LR3
    You will be asked if you want to convert your LR2 catalog into an LR3 catalog
    Confirm this action, which will build a new LR3 catalog from your LR2 catalog, leaving the LR2 catalog as it is
    If your folders/images show missing (which I'm not sure about on a Mac when the same volume is mounted as an external drive), perform a "Find missing folder" on all top-level folder(s) of your catalog, pointing to the folders on the mounted volume
    If needed/wanted, you can then move the top-level image folders from within LR to a different volume
    If you need/want to move the catalog as well, copy the "[catalogname].lrcat" file and the "[catalogname] Previews.lrdata" folder to a different drive when LR is closed, and restart LR by double clicking the copied .lrcat file
    Delete the old catalog after you're sure the new one works to your satisfaction
    You might also want to consider copying your presets, plugins and ACR defaults from the old machine to the new one.

  • Upgrades from PSE 9

    Is it possible to purchase an upgrade from Elements 9 or 10 to CS5?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Yes, but it's not officially offered all the time. You don't qualify for the PS version to version upgrade price of $199, but you can frequently upgrade from PSE to PS for $299. If you call adobe sales and ask nicely, sometimes they'll give you that price when it's technically not available.

  • Can i upgrade from PSE 10 to 11?

    I have a friend who had PSE 10 and she updated to 11 through an update for free since she already owned the program. I own the program and have the serial key and everything, so can i update too? I'm running on a Mac OS X and she is on Windows, if that makes any kind of a difference.

    The only time you get a free upgrade from one version to the next is when you buy an old version after a newer one is announced/released. So if your friend bought PSE 10 after PSE 11 had been announced, yes, she might have gotten a free upgrade. Otherwise you must always purchase an upgrade from one version of PSE to any later version.
    EDIT and most of the time it makes more sense to buy the full version instead of the upgrade, since if you shop around it's usually available cheaper than adobe's upgrade price.

  • Tag issue when upgrading from PSE 7 to 11

    I've upgraded from PSE 7 to 11 and the tags for people, while there, do not appear in the "people" section fo PSE11. Any suggestions on how to get them all to show?

    In PSE11, people tags have been moved to People view, this view contains all people tags along with categories. In case you want to view them along with tags panel, it can be enabled through View->Show People in Tag panel.

  • Best way to upgrade from PSE 5.0 to PSE 8

    I have installed, as an administrator, PhotoShop Elements 5.0, for a user.  I wan to upgrade that to PhotoShop Elements 8.
    What is the best way to do this?
    When I did this several years ago, going from PhotoShop Album 2.0 to PSE 5.0 it was suggested to do this, which I did: 
    I backed up the catalog through the menu option in PhotoShop Album.  Uninstalled PhotoShop Album, Installed the new PhotoShop Elements 5.0.  Restored the catalog.  This worked perfectly fine.  Is this a good route to go for an upgrade from PSE 5 to PSE 8?  Is there a better way?
    Thanks for any tips.
    Mark Miesfeld

    Thanks for the quick response.
    The user on this system mostly uses PhotoShop Elements 5.0 to orgainize her photos.  I don't think she does much editing of the photos.  She has over 20,000 photos.
    I thought that upgrading ti PSE 8 would give her better performance.  But, I now see several reviews saying that the orgainizer performance in PSE 7 and PSE 8 is worse.
    Do you have any comment on that?
    Thanks again.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop Upgrade from PsE?

    Can I buy a upgrade to photoshop if all I have is elements 12?
    [Title changed for clarity - Hunt]

    Cutiepaatudy,
    Going back many years, Adobe did offer a form of Competitive Upgrade from PsE to Ps, but I have not seen one of those in a very long time.
    As JJMack points out, PsE is not in any upgrade path now, but with the CC (Creative Cloud) subscription license, one can get Ps for a fairly low payment. Also, Adobe has done a bit of "bundling" of a few other programs, so that might be a good route.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I will also change the title of the post, to reflect an Upgrade question, to help others with the same, or very similar question. They can benefit from JJMack's response.

  • 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.

    I've created a lot in PSE9 and am tired of the limitations. If I upgrade from PSE to CS6 will the new program convert my old creations from RGB to CMYK?

      What do you mean by creations? CMYK is only relevant to printing.
