Upgrading to CS5.5 Web Premium doesn't make sense

Hi
I wanted to upgrade my CS3 to CS5.5. My main tools are DW and FW. I just attended the Adobe Refresh seminar and seems like CS6 and the subscription options will be available first half of 2012.
Since most of the products in this suite simply became redundant (at least for my needs) it doesn't make sense to purchase a full suite even with the 20% discount.
Flash will be devoted to games and advance movie authoring.
AI never really changed that much since the beginning of the century (SVG? come on....)
PS is not for web! use Fireworks.
Contribute? who uses that?
FC - never went anywhere
Device central - you don't need this anymore
Bridge? can do without
Media encoder - you can get much better tools for $20 or simply use iMovie/ QuickTime
which leaves use with DW and FW.
Any comments?
Cheers
Mica

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded my computer and I am looking for a link to download CS5.5 Web Premium Trial version, I have a serial key, I am asking because I have misplaced my CS5.5 disc.
    Thanks

    If you previously purchased and registered CS5.5, you can log in to your Adobe.com account and download it via the My Orders link.
    Otherwise try http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links won't work.

  • I can't activate Adobe X Pro on my Mac (part of CS5.5 Web Premium

    I've installed Adobe X Pro as part of a CS5.5 Web Premium installation on my Mac (OS X 10.9.5). Adobe X Pro will not start up. When I try to start it, I am asked for a separate serial number (which I do not have) or to continue with a trial version with zero days remaining!

    Hi nka50,
    Could you please elaborate what do you mean by saying that Acrobat asks for a separate serial number.
    If possible, please share the screenshot when that message pops up on your screen.
    Are you installing it as an upgrade as then it might ask you to enter serial number for previous version as well.
    Please let me know.
    Regards,

  • Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium Updater Keeps Crashing in Lion

    I have recently upgraded to Lion and my Adobe Web Premium CS5.5 will no longer update. When I click to run the updater, it just pauses for a moment then Application Manager just quits without any message. I am running OSX Lion on a Macbook Pro Core i7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Bob, after recreating everything I found out why exactly it wasn't working. First I forgot to deploy first Acrobat X and then the principal MSI (Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium.msi). That part is now working correctly as far as I can see. But now I'm having an error on the 32 bits when the principal msi is trying to install. I haven't tried the 64 bits version yet but I use the same msi properties. I'm getting an msi unknow error about path1 (msi property) that cannot be null. What exactly is path1? I only use these msi properties:
    ALLUSERS=1
    ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1
    ARPPRODUCTICON=ARPPRODUCTICON.exe

  • CS5.5 Web Premium (Mac) Download Hangs at 650.5MB

    I am trying to download CS5.5 Web Premium for Mac from this link, but I cannot get the download to finish.  On the Mac, I have attempted downloading with Firefox and Safari, but the download stops at 650.5MB.  I have also tried downloading via Firefox and Internet Explorer via PC, but the download still stops in the same place.
    Safari gives the error message "the network connection was lost" after the download has been stuck for a long period of time.

    Thanks for responding kglad.   I have tried Folx GO as a download manager.  Do you have another suggestion as I have tried what you suggested and this does not work.   I have not contacted Apple as this is not an Apple issue.

  • CS5.5 Web Premium   OS 10.10 = Inconsistency in the installer database. Is there something to resolve this?  Cleaner did not work-BC, not installed.

    I have CS5.5 Web Premium for Mac.  I have been using it on my old PowerBook on Yosemite for several months. I just purchased a new PowerBook with Yosemite and cannot get the software to install.  I purchased an external drive, LG Portable DVD Writer.  I first thought that this was the failure point, but, since then, I was about to install MS Office.  Many times the CD spins insanely without allowing me to install.  However three times now, I've made it to the point just passed entering the ID, which was successful (I have a screenshot).  I get to a point of the Installation Status that reports:  Your installation encountered errors.  Please try restarting your system and installing again.  Inconsistency in the installer database. Please restart your computer and install again.  After determining that would not resolve the problem, I began doing a little research and found that there was an Exit 15 error in the error log.  I then  downloaded the CS Cleaner Tool.  The application returned this message:  The following installations were found on your system.  The dialog box was empty.  I then decided to try to download the application this morning while I was on a dog walk.  It appears that the file downloaded and I was able to initiate the installation. However, shortly after that, I can an error message stating that it has timed out.  I tried again to install it from the finder, but, it does nothing.  I am out of ideas!  Please send me the magic answer!  Thanks!  Mary

    Hello kglad,
    Thanks for taking the time to reply.  I did that today, and got the exact same error message.
    This is what I've tried now..
    Copying installation files to desktop and installing.
    Downloading installation files to desktop.
    Any other ideas?  It seems as though there is some kind of "conflict" where old files need to be removed.  However, my earlier assessment found that those files do not exist, since nothing is actually installed yet.

  • Trying to install CS5.5 web premium on a new Windows 8 computer

    I am trying to install CS5.5 web premium on a new Windows 8 computer. I had installed it before but Illustrator would not run. I tried reinstalling just Illustrator that did not work. So I uninstalled the whole suite, and planned to reinstall the whole thing. But I get "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." So I download ASA, and try to run the .exe and nothing happens.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, then try again. Also check this:

  • Upgrade Adobe CS6 Design & Web premium to Master Collection.

    Hi, is it possible to upgrade Adobe CS6 Design & Web premium to Master Collection? What is the cost?

    I'm not sure, but the answer must be a Yes. Coz, it is like you are upgrading to a product which has more products.
    If you have purchased Design & Web Premium CS6 within 30 days, then it is better to return and purchase Master Collection itself.
    I'm not sure of the cost either.

  • CS5.5 Web Premium has deleted my MS Outlook Email account - can anyone help?

    I've recently installed Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium and, while the software works properly, it has completely deleted my MS Outlook email account and all of my work emails. Does anyone know why this has happened and whether I can restore my deleted Outlook account?
    Appreciate the help.
    A

    To start with, you're asking in the wrong forum. I'd suggest that you ask in the Creative Suite forum.
    Second, when you post it there, you should describe your operating system version.
    However, I'd say that it's just about impossible that installing the Creative Suite could delete an email account.

  • CS5.5 Web Premium freezes/hangs

    I've reinstalled CS5.5 Web Premium on my 2011 MacBook Pro, but I am unable to open up the programme. I am currently using OSX10.8.2.
    I've recently changed my logic board and hard disk with Apple as there were some technical issues. I installed Web Premium and am unable to load any of the programmes. I've keyed in the serial number during the installation. What I get is the loading screen, and none of the programmes actually open up. I have to force quit the programme to close it.
    I've called Adobe before, and they've asked me to uninstall and download a trial version of CS5.5 once more. I've done that, but the same issue still occurs, it still freezes when I open it. I have contacted Apple about this issue, but they told me that there is nothing wrong and that I can only seek help from Adobe.
    Anyone with the same problem or knows how to resolve this?
    Any help is greatly appreciated

  • Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium

    Hi, I successfully created, using "Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition", my deployment package for "Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium" (Universal English Windows). I'm able to install everything silently without any problem. But the first time that I launched "Acrobat Professional 10.0" it said that I need to enter a valid serial which I already did in the "Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition". So I recreated everything thing and it seems to be working now. But I want to make sure! Is there any registry, any command line that I can check to see if the application "Acrobat Professional 10.0" is running in trial mode or not. And by curiosity why can't we change the default language from the English to the French without getting the window that ask for a valid serial for the French language. Why the fuss about the language part?!
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • Simple question: upgrade to CS5.5 Production Premium

    Hello everyone,
    After a quick chat with Adobe Chat Support I was inform that it was not possible to upgrade from CS2 Premium to CS5.5 Production Premium.
    The box upgrade of CS5.5 Production Premium states the following: Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium English Upgrade FR Suite 2/3V Back
    Is this true?
    Thanks,
    jdl

    Hello Bob,
    My question is simple: I have the disks of CS5.5 Premium Production upgrade from CS2/CS3, and I just want to confirm that I can use them with Adobe CS2 Premium.
    I dont want to buy CS5.5 or CS6 from no-one.

  • 2 CS5.5 Web Premium subscription

    I have 2 CS5.5 Web Premium subscriptions, do I now have 2 Creative Cloud subscriptions?

    You should.  I've spent all morning on the horn with support ensuring that my Master Collection subscription will transfer over fluidly and be subject to the introductory discounted price.  Each "subscription" should transfer, regardless of whom that subscription is tied to.

  • Animation logic doesn't make sense....

    I know this probably should go to a suggestion/feature request or what not but A. I haven't been able to find the place for that and B. I felt like it'd make sense to see what others thought of this as well....
    Firstly....I'm learning flash right now and the animation in it is simply put...."backwards". Every other animation program I've touched made sense but here....its mind boggling. After effects, 3dsmax, maya, just about any other animation software you ALWAYS do the animation THEN place the keyframe.
    Why is this important? Because then if you move your object just to see how it would be placed elsewhere temporarily and don't like it, you don't have to undo...or if you moved it accidentally you don't have to try and move it back into place. It doesn't key unless you tell it to key. Unless there's some feature in flash I've not yet discovered that reverses this. The other reason is for the sake of conformity. Sure flash isn't the same as other animation programs but if ctrl+Z is undo universally why do you have to go and change it, just to be different?
    Thats not all. It doesn't make sense to have to push a button to edit multiple key frames. Why can't we just select them all and then edit, why add in a useless extra step to edit frames?
    Lastly and the most annoying part, is the fact that you need to add in 'blank' keyframes to see your animation play. How did this even make sense from inception? Every other animation program your object will always exist ad infinitum unless you make it disappear. Why force us to add keyframes just to see what we have so far...doesn't it make more sense to just push the play button and see it playing endlessly and then during output you set the amount of frames u want rendered? Even more mind boggling is the fact that if you have an element animated within its own timeline you cannot see that animation in the main stage unless you add blank keyframes? Whats the purpose of these blank keyframes? Its so far as I can see just a needless step that never should have been there.
    Well thats my rant.
    Again, I don't script, I'm still learning it, but I come from a heavy background of animation of after effects/fcp/premiere and 3d packages. They are all consistent with how animation works, but here it just seems like it wasn't very thought out.
    Maybe there are some reasons for the way its done for the sake of actionscript or some other reasons I'm not yet aware of. So forgive me if what I'm saying in actuality doesn't make sense. But if it does.....sure this would require what would most likely be a huge overhaul of flash's animation system, certainly not enough time to make it in for cs5....but at least as a future patch or in cs6 it would really make things more logical and flat out less complicated.
    Thanks for reading, comments/critiques are welcome.
