When would be good time for me to upgrade from CS4 production premium to Master Collection 5.5/6?

Hello Adobers.
I have CS4 Production Premium but I need Indesign so was thinking of upgrading to Master collection. It seems like Master collection 6 will be out early next year? So I am confused about when would be the best time to upgrade from $$$ saving point of view?
So should I upgrade from....
a) - CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 5.5 now and then  > to Master collection 6 later
or
b) CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 6 directly
or
c) - CS4 Production Premium > to  Master collection 5.5 now and forget about version 6.
I assume option c) would be cheapest. Which will be cheaper out of a) and b) ?
Thank you for advice.

Adobe has made no announcement about CS6. The best time to buy anything is when you need it.
Here's a link to the MC upsell from CS4 PP: http://amzn.to/tvwPq5

    If I upgrade from CS 6 Production Premium to CCloud, what happens to the plug-ins currently installed in Premiere Pro? Will I lose them (some Red Giant, Synthetic Aperture and such)?

    Not only that, there was an internal code change when going from CC to CC2014

    This messages says (at least some) CC 2014 programs use NEW plugins https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1499663
    -so do not uninstall the older CC programs if you use plugins in your programs until you are sure you have plugins that work in CC2014
    If you are sure you don't need the old CC programs

    It offered ILIFE Support 9.0.4, FRONT ROW UPDATE 2.1.7,MAC OS X UPDATE COMBINED 10.5.8 AND ITUNES 10.6.3!
    WHEN I DOWNLOADED THE ABOVE ENHANCEMENTS Itunes and others would not open do to the current architecture!
    I would like to bring this machine up to aq more modern Safari browser but again the current architecture is a issue...
    Currently, this is what I am working with....
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name: Power Mac G5
      Model Identifier: PowerMac7,2
      Processor Name: PowerPC 970  (2.2)

    Hello,
    As far as Browsers...
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/downloads/list
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

    Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

    Hey, thanks for the rapid reply.  Will the change be totally transparent or will there be things I have to look out for? what would you consider the biggest improvement I might realize from this change?

  • I have Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Am trying to install Photoshop CS4 upgrade. It will not accept any of the serial numbers from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. The upgrade is for Photoshop CS 4 only

      Need help installing Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection installed on my computer. When trying to install Photoshop CS 4 upgrade. I am ask for serial number of Photoshop CW, CS2, & CS3 I put in the serial number from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. None of which are accepted. What do I need to do to accomplish upgrade?

    When you purchase a Creative Suite collection, you can't run an upgrade on an individual product within the Suite. You have to upgrade the entire collection.
    You could purchase a copy of Photoshop CS6, or a subscription to Photoshop which can be as little as $9.99 with the Photography plan to the Creative Suite.
    Adobe no longer sells upgrades to CS3 or CS4.

  • Question for Anyone Using CS4 Production Premium with Windows 7

    I'm testing Windows 7 at home with CS3 Production Premium and have not had any issues. Of course CS4 is quite a bit different.
    Anyone using CS4 Production Premium on Windows 7 regularly? Any issues to report?
    Thanks

    Thanks for replying to my post:

    "I notice that when I open an old CS4 project and PPro asks you to locate the file, that the "show only exact file name" tick box seems to have no effect.
    This is on Windows 7 RC 64bit."
    On our systems at work that have XP and Vista + CS4 Production Premium.  I've noticed this with preview files in particular and possibly some others, I don't remember. The "show only exact file" checkbox is greyed out. This is somewhat annoying because projects can have a huge number of preview files with long  cryptic names making it a pain to locate the correct one manually to get the ball rolling. If I don't think it'll take too long to re-render, I just select "skip preview files".
    We bought 3 licenses for Windows 7 and I'm encouraged by the performance, reliability and features on my home test system (RC 64) that has CS3 installed. Can't wait to get rid of XP and Vista.

  • Procedure for installing CS6 upgrade from CS5.5 on new computer

    Hello,
    I am running Design Premium CS5.5 which was an upgrade from CS4.  I am buying a new laptop.  Can I install CS6 directly?  Or do I have to install CS4 and then CS5.5 and then CS6?
    Do I "deactivate" CS5.5 on the old computer first?
    Thanks!
    Tony

    Hi Tony, you  need not to install CS 4 and CS 5.5. You can directly install CS 6 on your new laptop.
    It will ask your serial key for CS 6 and then it will ask the serial key for the qualifying product , in this case it will be the serial key for your CS 5.5.
    And then it will start the installation.

  • Contacts - would like current time for every person.

    I cannot find where to put this question, either here or on the feedback page. I would like a feature on Contacts which shows the current time for a contact.
    I have contacts in many parts of the world. It would be nice to simply display the current time for each contact.

    Feedback would be the place. We're just users here and can't do anything about the software.
    I like the idea, though.

  • When logged in multiple times, I get annoying messages from AOL System Msg

    I am using iChat from home and work. In my iChat settings, I have "Allow multiple logins for this account" set.
    If I log in from work (and am still logged in from home, or vice versa), I get a message from "AOL System Msg" telling me that I am now logged in from two locations, and that I can reply with '1' to log off the other location. These messages are somewhat annoying, as "AOL System Msg" apparently cannot be blocked. Is there a way to avoid these and still being logged in from multiple locations?

    Is one version iChat 2.x ?
    If so then the answer is No.
    If both are iChat 3 try changing the setting when the other computer is Off. This maybe difficult but maybe the weekend would be the time to log out of the Work one first and then on Monday turn the Home one Off.
