Upgrading from student editions to CS5 ?

Hi,
I currently have a student edition of Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, and Illustrator 10. I would like to upgrade these to the Adobe CS5 professional versions, but I am not sure if I can since they are so old. Or can I upgrade these to the Adobe CS5 Design package?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, that won't work. All MX versions (student, full retail etc) are too old to qualify for an upgrade.
Adobe has a "3-versions-back" policy for upgrading these days.
So the only versions eligible for an upgrade to CS5 are DW8, CS3 and CS4.

  • Installing upgrade from student edition

    I purchased CS3 Master Collection in 2008 from VCU - so it was a student edition. Now I need to upgrade to CS6. I have 2 questions:
    1. can I upgrade to a commercial edition from a student edition?
    1. last week my Filevault encryption app on my Macbook grew so large that I had to disable it. That meant that I had to delete a lot of files including my CS3 to create the space.
    I do not know the technical aspects of upgrades. Do I need to reinstall my CS3. If I cannot find the discs can I get a download version from my license key on file?

    Thanks you for the quick response. I will definitely go ahead then.
    Happy holidays!

  • Upgrading from Student Edition (no longer student)

    I currently have a student edition license for LR2, but am no longer a student.  Can I buy the upgrade to LR4 do I need to start over without the upgrade?

    Your version of LR3 is the same as the full paid version its just that you paid less for the license being a student. Upgrading to LR4 will be fine. If you installing on the same computer then the serial number from LR 3 will be recognised when you input the upgrade serial number and the program will be installed.
    If you are installing on a  new computer, when you enter the LR 4 upgrade serial number you will be requested to imput the previous version number so you need to have the number handy.

  • Upgrading from student edition to full

    I am currently running CS3 Design Premium student edition, but need to upgrade because I'm starting a business. Am I eligible to get the upgrade edition of CS4 or do I have to buy the full version?

    To clarify: Your education edition is indeed eligible for an upgrade to CS4 just as if it were a normal version of Creative Suite 3 Design Premium.

  • Upgrading the student edition via Online

    Hi.
    I'm thinking of upgrading my student edition Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master collection to a commercial edition. So I want to download the upgrade via online. Is this the correct way to do it? When I choose from what I want to upgrade, I don't find a student edition. Shall I choose 5.5 master collection? Is it gonna work well?
    I'll appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    Yes, choosing CS5.5 as the version from which you are upgrading is the way to go.  There is no functional difference between a student version and what you call a commercial version.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?   Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

    I think you are missing my point.
    For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
    And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

  • Upgrading CS4 student version to CS5

    I purchased CS4 student edition a couple years ago and am interested in upgrading to CS5.  I have since graduated and can no longer get the student edition.  So I am wondering if I can upgrade my version of CS4 to the current non-student edition of CS5 or am I going to have to buy the full non-student edition?
    Thanks

    Studen versions carry full upgrade rights. Make sure you buy the correct upgrade.

  • Student Edition of CS5

    Hi all
    I have been eagerly waiting for the release for Photoshop CS5 before I take the plunge and buy. I am currently a mature student and will be buying the Student Edition and what I am wanting to know is in the future, when CS6 or whichever is released, at the point where I am no longer a student, will I be able to upgrade my Student Edition Photoshop to a Standard Edition at the normal upgrade cost or will I have to purchase a full copy of the standard first?
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel, under the current rules you should be OK - according to the FAQ a Student Edition can be upgraded to a commercial version. http://bit.ly/byG0p6
    It's unknown how or if the rules will change for CS5, so you should check back to confirm once that's out.

  • Cannot direct upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended

    Despite the information in various spots on Adobe's website, it appears that it's not possible to simply upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended. After entering the CS5 serial number, the installer asks for the serial number of a "qualifying product". This includes a dropdown list that only has
    Photoshop CS5
    Photoshop CS4 Extended
    Photoshop CS3 Extended
    Here's the view:
    Entering the CS2 serial number == fail.
    A call to Adobe support get past this issue, basically reading out a challenge/response from the installer to the guy on the phone. But this seems remarkably stupid to me. Was it really more effective to force me (and anyone else following this upgrade path) to call tech support just to install the software I just past $350 for? And if this was the plan, why not SAY SO ON THE ADOBE WEBSITE?!?
    Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, was calling tech support the only way out?

    You are correct in wishing Adobe made it clear that you do need to go through Customer Service to accomplish this.
    Most users make the purchase through Adobe and straighten this out before installing.

  • 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.

  • Upgrading from InDesign CS4 to CS5.5

    How much would it cost to upgrade from InDesign CS4 to CS5.5

    There is no longer any official upgrade for any version of InDesign. The only offerings from Adobe now are Creative Cloud subscriptions (which currently provide access to both CC and CS6 versions), or purchasing a perpetual license for CS6, at full price, with the understanding that CS6 is considered "feature complete" and will not receive any further updates and may not work on the next OS releases or new generations of hardware.

  • Upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac is possible?

    Quite a simple question:
    Is it possible to make upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac?
    If "yes", which are the steps I'll have to follow?
    I would like to mention that I'll buy the upgrade software
    in Romania, so I'll have to deal with a Romanian Adobe
    software distributor.
    Thank you!

    All right. Thank you!

  • Question regarding Upgrading from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition

    DB version:10gR2
    We want to upgrade from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition.
    In the following documention
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/intro.htm#BABFBJCC
    It talks about
    Deinstall the Standard Edition server software.I don't understand what they mean by DeInstall the software.
    Question 1.
    By 'DeInstall' , they mean , use DeInstall Products in the Welcome screen of Oracle Universal Installer and Remove the chosen OUI Home.Right?
    Question 2.
    If i 'Deinstall' (ie. remove the software), all the binaries are lost. Right? So what is the point of having just the data files?

    Question 2.
    If i 'Deinstall' (ie. remove the software), all the binaries are lost. Right? So what is the point of having just the data files?Because next point says install Enterprise Edition. For first get rid of old one and then install the needed one. There is no such option as upgrade in this case.

  • Options for upgrade from Student?

    Hi,
    I'm currently well out of date with my CS version..currently still on CS3 of production premium (student edition)
    I'm looking to update this..im no longer a student anymore and am looking to upgrade to either production premium (standard edition) or design premium (standard)
    I've read online that I can upgrade from CS3 to CS6..however does this still work if you original copy was a student edition?
    Really dont want to have to buy a whole new set from scratch, so will have to look into just buying individual programs as needed if I can't.
    Have not been able to find an answer anywhere on this one.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Janine
    p.s. Sorry if i posted in the wrong section...

    Yes, commercial upgrades also work with S&T editions, you will just have to handle this through Adobe directly du to the serial number hocuspocus involved.
