Versions of Creative Suite still supported

What versions of Creative Suite does Adobe still officially support?
I saw an announcement that it not longer would authorize new installations of CS2. What about each of CS3 through CS6?

Thank you for the fast response, Bob. I work for a company that provides InDesign plug-ins, and this will help determine how long we continue to make enhancements in our plug-ins for older versions of Creative Suite. We have customers using CS2, 4, 5, 5.5 and 6, with a Creative Cloud installation on the horizon.

Do I need to uninstall old versions of creative suite

i have all my previous versions of creative suite still in my system. should i uninstall them every time i upgrade?

No need. They can happily co-exist on your hard drive since they all install into their own separate folders.
It's entirely up to you if you want to uninstall them.

Why can't I upgrade my student version of creative suite to a professional version?

I purchased the student version of creative suite 6 in January to learn the software for a class that my job was paying me to take. We decided that the software was worth investing in so my company wants to upgrade my student version to a professional version. ( It turns out I am not allowed to use student version software for professional purposes - I don't know if that is a law or just a rule). So I call up customer support to pay for the upgrade and cancel the student version. I am told this isn't possible and that they have to create a whole new account and charge me a cancellation fee for my old account. Then they send me to a sales rep who was a total jerk and told me he couldn't help me and spent 20 minutes seriously making fun of me. What kind of sales rep makes fun of people? Then he sent me back to customer support who of course couldn't help either and they had to then sent me to a cancellation guy. By this time, I had been on the phone for an hour. So this guy tells me my current contract requires me to pay $79 a month and to cancel it will cost my $280? WTH? My student version costs only $30 a month. I have invoices to prove it. So then he charges me $112 to cancel but he can't set up a new account. Of course, that has to be done by somebody else. But after this horrible experience, why should I sign up AGAIN? And why did I have to pay $112 to cancel when what I really wanted was an upgrade?

Fasiababy1 I am sorry that you have had a difficult experience. As Ned mentioned if you have an annual contract then your best option is to continue utilizing the student version of the software. You are also welcome to use the Student and Teacher Edition commercially you can find more details in the Education FAQ - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/education-faq.html. In specific the following element is relevant to your inquiry:
Can I use Student and Teacher Edition products commercially?
Yes, Student and Teacher Edition products can be used commercially.
In addition for more details regarding canceling your subscription please see our discussion regarding questions for your Creative Cloud subscription at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1146459.
Finally do you have a case number which I can reference from your interaction with our support team?

Hi,
I try to re install the CS5 master collection that I have but this message appear :
Beta or prerelease versions of Creative Suite 5 Master Collection are installed on the machine, and must be uninstalled before this installation can proceed. Please uninstall these products, restart your computer, then run this installer again.
I erase all that is link to Cs5 but I think something still there.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks a lot
Roch

Ok will you can try running the uninstaller which is located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installer. It may not function due to the method you utilized to remove the software. If you still have problems then you can try running the CS5 Cleanup Script - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

How can I remove an older version of Creative Suite while deploying Creative Suite 6

After you build an install package using the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise is there a way it can be deployed to upgrade an older version of Creative Suite. In my organization we do not need both versions and I have about 100 machines to deploy this to and do not want to have to uninstall the old Creative Suite before deploying the new one as that would take too much time.
I am also limited on hard drive space on many of my workstations so I would not like to have both Creative Suites taking up space.

Branching this discussion out and moving it to the Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment forum. Bwilk217 the users in this forum should be able to assist you with your inquiry.

I have an old version Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I uninstalled it from my old computer and was trying to install it on my new computer. It copied all the files but I cant open them and it doesn't ask me for my registration info, which I have.

It copied all the files but I cant open them and it doesn't ask me for my registration info, which I have. What shall I do to get Adobe up and running?

when you were install your cs3 you should have been prompted for you serial number. were you?
if not, you probably didn't properly install cs3. copying/migrating/moving etc is problematic.
if yes, did you see any error messages during installation?
if yes, attach a screenshot of the error message.
if not, check you install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

I tried to download a trial version of creative suite 6 but it wont process past the buy now screen

I tried to download a trial version of creative suite 6 but it wont process past the buy now screen, what should I do?

As Manish said, we need more info. Also, if it wants you to buy the software and never even offers a trial mode, then there is probably nothing you can do. Either you already ran another trial and it has timed out or your licensing system is busted, but that being an unserilaized version, there's no way of fixing it.

Early Version of Creative Suite

I have located an early version of Creative Suite from a reputable online vendor. It is claimed to be new software in unopened condition. These are the numbers from the package furnished by the seller:
Lot Code 77214
PN : 19500256
UPC 8 83919 07590 7
Can an Adobe representative verify/confirm this information as new and previously un-registered?
Thanks for any assistance you may be able to offer.
This may end up being a double post. If so, my sincere apologies

Thanks for the forum clarification. I was hoping there might be a moderator on this forum to offer an opinion. I'll inquire elsewhere.
The software in question is CS3 design premium which has had no reported problems operating in Mavericks.
Best regards

Will be there a ME version of Creative Suite in the future? please guys help

Can I install a single version of Creative Suite 6 on a Mac and PC?

Can I install a single version of Creative Suite 6 on Mac, Macbook and PC?

It is not likely. A CS license normally applies to only one platform. A PC version cannot be installed on a Mac, and vice versa. It might be a different story if you subscribe to the Creative Cloud, where CS6 is available, though I am not well-versed in the provisions for Cloud matters.

Where can I download a trial version of Creative Suite

My daughter is learning Adobe in school and I thought we would try the trial version at home before we buy it. It turns out that our computer does not meet the minimum requirements to run Adobe Creative Cloud (specifically Premiere)
However, I was reading that there was a version called Adobe Creative Suite prior to this. Could someone tell me where I can download a trial version of this software so that I can see if it would work on my computer. We are running Windows 7 and Windows 8 at home.
She is learning Photoshop, DreamWeaver and Premiere with the last one being the most important application. All of the links that I've googled seem to redirect to Creative Cloud.
Thank you for your time.

Does Premiere in CS6 need a 64-bit processor as well?
Yes.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-premiere-pro.html#Ad obe Premiere Pro CS6 system requirements
"Intel® Core™2 Duo or AMD Phenom® II processor; 64-bit support required"
Adobe Premiere Pro has been 64 bit only since CS5. We've had CS6 and CC since then. All 64 bit only.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/64-bit-support.html
Your daughter is going to need a 64 bit computer and 64 bit operating system to run Premiere Pro and other audio/video apps such as After Effects. There's no way around that.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Which desktop applications in Creative Cloud require 64-bit operating systems?
With the new CC apps, most of the pro video and audio applications now require 64-bit operating systems to run. These native 64-bit applications include Adobe Premiere® Pro CC, Adobe Audition® CC, After Effects® CC, Prelude® CC, and SpeedGrade® CC. Flash Professional CC, Photoshop CC and Lightroom® also require 64-bit on Mac OS.

Problems with installing and activating and older version of Creative Suites

Hi. I'm using a MacBrook Pro with Max OS 10.6.8 and am trying to install an old version of Adobe Creative Suite (2 Premium) that I have. I got through the whole installation process yesterday, but was unable to activate it. I had to quit without going further. This morning, I read through the info that comes with the program and it looked like I would need to reinstall everything, because I stopped before activation. When I inserted the 1st disk, it did not load right and got stuck. I had to forcibly eject it. However, Disks 1-4 are still loaded on my computer. I have 3 questions:
Can the older programs no longer get activated?
If they CAN, how do I get from the info loaded under my Applications folder to the activation?
Alternatively, since I stopped before activation and hit "quit" rather than "cancel," do I have to start the whole process all over again from the beginning?
Thanks for any help you can give me!

Put your CS2 disks away (since they can no longer be used) and follow these instructions from Adobe

The future of non-cloud versions of Creative Suites?

I understand the 'pro' arguments of the cloud. Sometimes a radical departure from the norm causes unexpected consequences.
I work for a fortune 100 company and we have lawyers crawl over every contract or agreement no matter how small. They actually read every licensing agreement on all our software. They will absolutely NOT allow cloud based software or storage of any kind. It doesn't matter how sound your arguments are, the answer will be no.
I have been using Photoshop since the very first version. I purchase almost every upgrade (sometimes I will skip a version if the new product does not provide me with anything I need). Fourteen years ago I was the one who campaigned & got the full line of Adobe products part of our approved “load set”. This new move to cloud-based only is like getting stabbed in the back by your brother. If I can’t purchase a hard-drive resident version of the creative suite that cannot be disabled by Adobe at the end of the year, the lawyers will end the approval of all the Adobe products. There won’t be any discussions about it. Where do I go? Paint Shop Pro?

I am looking into alternative software to replace all of my Adobe products. What a foolish move from Adobe. There are many of us that can't use their software because of the secure environments we operate in. I for one refuse to be placed in their strangle hold. When I have the cash for an upgrade I buy it/own it, and if I decide it is time for me to upgrade I do it. After being with Adobe from day one, it is now time to move on. The cost of the upgrades has gotten out of hand. The upgrades have been too complicated to keep up with and I just don't have the time to re-learn things at this point in my career. They have had a good run up to now, but that is obviously over. Stupid, stupid, stupid decisions all over the purchase, upgrade, and use of this produce. Fire the clowns that did this. Any one for a "Classic Coke." I'm sure this will goto in that "Stupid Decisions" folder.
