Want to upgrade to PS CS5 from CS3 Web Premium

I want to upgrade from Photoshop CS3 that was part of CS3 Web Premium Suite to PhotoShop CS5 Extended. I do not want to upgrade the entire suite. Is this possible? Jack Davis said I should be able to. I just want to make sure. The Adobe website says I cannot. I think that is a marketing ploy... Can someone please help?

I ended up reinstalling CS5 and that solved the problem with one exception. It is now the default external editor and I have the option to export to PS as a smart object - However, I do not have the options to export to PS in layers or export to PS as Photomerge or Export to PS as HDR. I did have these options with CS3.

Install Acrobat 8 by itself from CS3 Web Premium

I have CS5 Production Premium installed and I want to install Acrobat 8 from my CS3 Web Premium. I get the error "Acrobat cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component before launching Acrobat 8".
I searched and found this-
Could you please try the following:
1. Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
2. In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
3. Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
Acrobat
Adobe PCD
Adobe PDF
Important: Do not delete these folders.
4. Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
5. Enter your serial number when prompted.
I followed these instructions, it prompted me for a serial number, but my CS3 Web Premium serial number is not working.
Any luck with this elsewhere?

To use the Acrobat from CS3 you need to install at least one of the standard applications so that it can activate the suite. Since you have already installed CS5 you cannot install CS3. While I don't know why you won't go with the Acrobat 9 in CS5 you need to follow the following steps to get going.
1) Deactivate CS5
2) uninstall CS5
3) install CS3 (you can just install something like Acrobat 8 and Photoshop CS 3 you need not install everything).
4) Open and Activate Photoshop CS 3
5) Open Acrobat 8, just to make sure everything is hunky dory.
6) Uninstall Photoshop CS 3 if you insist.
7) Install CS 5 (make sure you do not install Acrobat 9, since Adobe no longer recommends two different versions of Acrobat on the same Macintosh computer).
8) Open a CS 5 application like Flash CS 5
9) Activate Flash CS 5.
All should be well until you want to deactivate and uninstall Acrobat 8.

I have CS 6 Design Standard and I want to upgrade to CS 6 Design and Web premium

When I bought the design standard I was told i could upgrade to Design and web premium. I do not want cc right now. I don't want to pay every month. I am a student and do not have money to waste each month

S&T versions cannot be upgraded and specific to your situation there are as such no sidegrades, either. One would simply buy another full license with the educational discount. Feel free to contact sales support, maybe they can help you and sort this out.

Upgrade to Photoshop CS5 from CS3/CS2/6.0

I purchased Adobe Photoshop 6.0, then upgraded to CS2, then CS3.
Can I upgrade to CS5?
If so, can I install the trial and later activate it once I have the key?
Since the key is an upgrade key, what is it going to ask for to verify the fact that the CS3 version (which was an upgrade) was based on a full retail version?
The reason for all these questions is that I'm going to be upgrading from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. I'd like to just install Photoshop CS5 and try it out, then order the upgrade to complete the install later. I'm concerned about an upgrade not being appropriate (1) and a need to install Photoshop CS3 completely and then run the update to CS5. If I have to do that, I may just install CS3 after my Windows upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your responses. While I did see some questions about upgrading, I missed this exact scenario if it was previously posted.

The upgrade process is really quite straightforward these days - even on a new box which has never previously had Adobe software installed.
Upgrades are as good as full versions once installed. When installing upgrades, all that matters is that you have a serial number to an earlier qualifying version handy - Adobe has given up tracing this all the way back to your full version which could be up to 20 years ago. Upgrade serial numbers can only be verified by serial numbers up to 3 versions back anyway so Photoshop CS does not qualify for a CS5 upgrade.
There's no need to install older versions on a new computer before installing the CS5 upgrade version. It's actually the full code on the disk regardless of whether you purchased a full version or an upgrade - the serial number tells the installer if you've bought an upgrade or full version license.
When you enter your upgrade serial number for CS5, the installer will ask you to enter an earlier qualifying serial number (full or upgrade does not matter). I've successfully completed this exact scenario myself several times.
The only caveat to the above is that there is a world of difference in licensing terms (and serial numbers) between a suite and a standalone version. If you install a CS5 suite trial then want to keep just the Photoshop component (and enter its serial number), you'll have to uninstall the entire suite first then install the upgrade version of standalone Photoshop CS5. Then enter your CS5 serial number then verify by entering your CS3 serial number.

Just upgraded to PS CS5 from CS3 and LR will not recognize CS5 as external editor

I just upgraded from PS CS3 to CS5 then uninstalled CS3. LR 2.7 is not recognizing PS (CS5) as the default external editor and I don't get the "edit as smart object in PS", "Open as layers in Photoshop", etc… options when I right-click an image and select "edit in" as they are now greyed out. I've tried to repair LR and reinstall but nothing makes it recognize PS CS5 as the default external editor. Any ideas? Thx in advance.

I ended up reinstalling CS5 and that solved the problem with one exception. It is now the default external editor and I have the option to export to PS as a smart object - However, I do not have the options to export to PS in layers or export to PS as Photomerge or Export to PS as HDR.

CS3 Web Premium to CS4 Web Premium student upgrade

Hello,
I recently (yesterday) upgraded from CS3 web premium to CS4 web premium. I deactivated and uninstalled the CS3 first. I am now trying to open my files from the server in Dreamweaver with no luck.
What is happening is,it goes through the download process and when done all it shows is a blank HTML page with nothing on it. It is a little frustrating to say the least. Have I done something wrong? I would have thought the upgrade would be seamless.
Thanks for any and all help.

Try using a free FTP program like FileZilla ( http://filezilla-project.org/ ) and see if you can get the files from your server that way. Then once on your hard drive create the site using Dreamweaver and begin editing that way. If the files download from an external client with nothing in them you may have to restore a back up of your site.

Looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3

HI everyone! I'm looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3 Master Collection. Is there an easy way of doing this? I have zero interest in anything cloud related or CS6. thanks so much in advance!

As said by Brett already, you can no longer get CS5 or below from Adobe.
If by any chance, you make your mind to get CS6, Here is where you can get it. Creative Suite 6
Cheers!

You cannot. There is no upgrade path from CS3 to CS6 any more. That window closed a couple of years ago.

Buy a full new version of CS6, or

Can I upgrade from CS3 Design Premium to CS6 Design Standard?

I'm looking to upgrade my CS3 (and may need to as I'm upgrading my Mac OS X and not sure about compatibilty)... of course I know I can upgrade like for like, i.e. go from CS3 Design Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium but I don't really need Dreamweaver and Flash so just wondering if I can upgrade to CS6 Design Standard?
Also, as I'm still relatively new to this arena and have never upgraded before... how does it work? Do I need to keep my CS3 software (i.e. disks) as well as the new software/disks? i.e. if for whatever reason I may need to re-install down the line...or can I get rid of the CS3 once I get the CS6?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can do that. But you only have a few more weeks. You may want to look into Creative Cloud instead. You'll need the CS3 serial number to upgrade to CS6 but the CS3 apps do not necessarily need to be installed.

I want to upgrade to snow leopard from 10.5.8. Im hesitant to proceed because I'm running iPhoto 7 and word 2004. I want to be sure these programs will still run and I won't lose my photos or the events I have ordered them by. Should i make a partition on my new Iomega external and clone it just in case? I'm running time machine and backing up all the time onto an old LaCie, and right now I have a copy of my iPhoto library on new Iomega, which I recopy every couple of weeks. I got the computer new several years ago and it came with iLife and 10.4 OS I think.

Word 2004 is almost 10 years old, you will not be able to upgrade beyond Snow Leopard with it. IMHO you have gotten your money's worth out of the application and need to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011, this will work just fine and read your old files just fine too. What will not run beyond SL are all PowerPC (PPC) apps such as Word 2004. You will need to update, upgrade or replace any PPC based apps you want to use. I would recommend taking a little time and check for updates to each of your apps. Then open System Profiler (Applications - Utilities - System Profiler) click the Applications link on the left and then look for any PPC based apps, those are the ones that will not run. You can upgrade to SL just fine with the apps you currently have however if you want to go beyond SL (it's already 2 generations behind) you will need to update or upgrade your apps. You can take your time doing it but eventually you're going to have to begin

Trouble completing installation upgrade to PP CS5 from DVD.

Trouble completing installation upgrade to PP CS5 from DVD. I am 99% through the installation, but says I need to close safarinotificati to continue. All my applications were closed, including Safari and I've never heard of safarinotificati
Please advise of anyone knows what I can do. The only option in the window is to cancel the installation.

Hi Lanaid,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Please open activity monitor and check if there is any entry for safari in there.
If yes, please close the process and then try.

Adobe CS3 Web Premium no longer works after upgrade to OS X Lion

After upgrading my OS to Lion, Fireworks from Adobe CS3 Web Premium has been rendered useless. The color picker no longer works at all, and the program generally crashes within 30-60 seconds of being opened.
Help!

Jill,
I've been banging my head against a wall on this one, trying to figure out what to do.
The 2 solutions I have are: (1) reformat drive and re-install SL or (2) upgrade to CS5.5. Reverting back to SL is going to be a time consuming task considering format, itunes backup, data backup and reinstall everything and I'm not ready to upgrade CS 3 to 5.5 for around a $1000....
I needed to get back up and running quickly, so I purchasd a couple colorpickers from the app store for a couple dollars. This at least gets me back up and running again. They work well. Not a perfect solution but considering the alternatives, the best fix I have right now.
For everyone else that hasn't upgraded to Lion, yet. Carefully consider the software compatibility before upgrading to Lion. If you do media, web or application development, it may break your color pickers or more... check Adobe's or your software developer's site for Lion compatibility for the software you use.
