Want to uninstall previous versions of Creative Suite applications

Been working in CC 2014 for a while now, want to delete CS4 through 5.5 applications that are still on my computer, because they no longer run in Mavericks or Yosemite.
I still have discs for this stuff. Do I run uninstallers from them, or trash the folders, or what? I see something about a CC Cleaner, but I want to ensure that my CS6 and CC apps remain intact.
Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Shawn
I agree with what Keith stated if you can use the uninstallers. If you need to use the Adobe Clean tool here is a link for it.

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.

Back to saving files to previous versions of Creative Suites

Just a note that the issue of saving files from CS5 backward still hasn't been addressed. Actually, just purchased CS5.5 and can't even save to CS5.0.
I'm beginning to think Adobe does this so everyone has to keep upgrading to newer versions for the money. Please... even Microsoft Office has options to save to older versions of their products, easily and conveniently.
This should be about customer convenience and service, not more dollars. So, my "wish" for Adobe - is to find a way to help their customers conveniently save to older versions of all products.

As has been discussed to death, the method for back-saving is to EXPORT .idml from CS5 or CS5.5, or .inx from CS4 to CS2. .inx files can be read by the next previous version (and there is a hack for opening CS4 .inx in CS2 that sometimes works). .idml files can be read in all versions of InDesign from CS4 to CS5.5, and there is some hope that that going forward extended version backward comaptibility will be preserved.

Deinstall previous version of Creative Suite after installing new CS 5.5?

I just installed new CS 5.5 software. Following the instructions, I did not first de-install the previous CS 4 version. I assumed that the installation of CS 5.5 would automatically de-install the prior version, but it did not. I found no advice concerning the need for deinstalling the prior version. Why? Doesn't it take up system resources? Or should it remain on the system in order to support documents created with the prior version? I have a Macbookpro with OS X, ver. 10.6.8. BTW, my partner is a PC IT guy, who thinks one should keep a tidy ship!

It depends on which applications you use and how much compatability you need with older versions. There is no need to remove CS4 other than it might free up a small amount of disk space.
There is also a good chance that the file associations for different Adobe documents will be affected after the removal of CS4.

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.

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

Yes, you do not need to have any previous versions installed in order to install a newer version/upgrade.

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.

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?

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

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 to uninstall previous versions of lightroom?

how do you uninstall previous versions of lightroom?
Do you also need to delete any folders?
I have Updated to the new LR CC version a couple of days ago and need space.

Knowing whether you are using a Mac or a PC would be rather important to answer your question.
Anyhow, there is not need to delete any program folder manually. Simply use the respective method of your OS.
LR CC created a copy of your LR5 catalog and upgraded it. If you remove LR5 you might want to remove the catalog file as well as the preview folder (make sure not to delete the new ones of LR CC ).

No, CS2 does not qualify for a platform swap. Only the most recent version (CS6) qualifies.

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

Adobe Reader Customization uninstall previous versions

Hello, I deployed Adobe Reader XI through Group Policy, Windows Server 2003. I used the Adobe Reader XI Customization Tool, and created a transform. I left the option checked to uninstall previous versions of Reader. Adobe Reader XI installed with all other settings configured properly that were created in the transform; however, the previous version, Adobe Reader X, did not uninstall. Has anyone experience this issue? If so, how did you get the other version of Adobe uninstalled?

Make sure the last thing you do in the wizard (right before you save) is check the box. There is a current bug in the customization wizard that will uncheck that option if you do anything else afterwards. There is a note of the bug in the wizard documentation located here (see the note in section 6.2): http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/installoptions.html#remove-insta lled-products
The note reads: "There is a current bug in which this checkbox becomes unchecked if any other feature is configured. Therefore, if you want to remove all versions of Reader, check this box as your last action before you save the modified package."
