Why can't I upgrade from CS5 Design Standard to CS6 Design Standard?

Hi. I recently purchased an upgrade for the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard from the CS5 version I previously owned. I've downloaded it and now when I try to install it, it's saying I don't have a qualifying product installed already to do it, and it's only giving me CS5.5 or CS6 as options for qualifying products. Can someone from adobe assist me on here? It is nearly impossible to get a hold of the phone support, especially in Canada. And I would need to figure this out in the next 2 weeks so that I could get my full refund if needed.
THANKS.

  • Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6? My MPB spits out the disc before it ever appears on the desktop.

    Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.3? My MPB spits out the disk before it ever appears on the desktop. The Snow Leopard disk is brand new, was still in shrink wrap until I opened it. I do have the hard drive partitioned, running Win XP with Boot Camp, if that might be the issue.

    Hey vlntrg,
    I have a 2002 model Powerbook that will sometimes (most of the time) refuse to mount a CD or DVD. It just grunts for a while and then spits it back out. When this happens, I will slap the bottom of the machine several times with an open hand, not too hard and not too soft. I read this somewhere online (I forget where), and I was hesitant to try it, but it was cheaper than replacing the SuperDrive.
    This will often allow me to insert and use the CD or DVD. I have also noticed that I have less trouble when the machine is cold than when it's warm.
    I've not had this trouble with my MacBook Pro.
    Another thought. Would it be possible to boot your machine in target disk mode and update your software using a friend's Mac? I'm sure there are others here who can better answer that question.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using Application Manager, why can't I see my CS5.5 applications, just CS6 lists to buy?

    I am migrating my CS5.5 apps from an old XP laptop to a new Win8. Also Acrobat Pro, so I am using Application Manager to make sure I am not offending version copy allowances, but Application Manager is not showing any of the apps on my system, jut CS6 to buy and a couple trials. Where are my current Adobe applications?

    Once you save that to a location on your system.
    Make sure Acrobat is Quit and then do this:
    1.  In the Finder go to the "Go" menu.
    2. Select Go to Folder
    3.  Paste this path into the "Go to the Folder:" field
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts/
    4. Copy the file into the JavaScripts folder.
    5. Launch Acrobat
    Now you should see the menu spoken of in the blog and web page.

  • Can you upgrade from CS5 Production Premium to CS6 Master Collection?

    I have the student edition of CS5 Production Premium suite and Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows and I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade it to the CS6 Master Collection. If there is, how much would it cost? I would like to get InDesign and Dreamweaver. Or would it be easier to try to buy the two programs separate?

    I saw that before, but I wasn't sure if it was an upgrade from the CS5 Master Collection or just anything CS5. Shouldn't the upgrade price vary depending on what collection of programs you have? Like shouldn't upgrading from the CS5 Master Collection be cheaper than upgrading from CS5 Production Premium? Will it change if I try to order it?

  • Can I simply upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 without doing the Creative Cloud thing?

    I don't want to start paying a monthly fee, but might be intereted in upgrading my CS5.5 to version 6.0.
    I can read the FAQ's where others have asked this question - and the answer seems to be yes, but with no instructions - and there is no where on the site that I can find it as an option.
    Help, please?
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I print from CS5? Mac and Snow Leopard

    I can't print from CS5. I have a Canon Pro 9000 MKII, and all drivers are up to date. Whenever I need to print I have to close the image and reopen it in CS4. I have an iMac running Snow Leopard and can print from all other programs.
    When I do try to print from CS5, I get a dialog box (see attached). If I click the "Cancel" button (the only option) the print command in the menu is grayed out until I restart CS5. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    One other thing to try is changing the name of the printer queue, which may convince Photoshop and the system that it's a different printer, so old print settings will not be used.
    Open your System Preferences, select "Print & Fax", and then select your printer.
    Click the "Open Print Queue..." button. When that opens, select the "Printer Setup" icon (it should be rightmost in the top row), and then change the name of the printer. and OK.

  • Why can't I upgrade from older full version?

    Hi, I am seeing "full" versions of CS3 and 4 on sale for low prices but some say you cannot upgrade from these. I've never heard of this before. Is this because of the low pricing or does Adobe sell "special" full versions that don't allow you to upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Heh.  Do a Google Maps street view of the place where they say they are.  They don't actually have a storefront that I can see, but even if they did, take a good look at that place...  Do you think you could walk into any place there and buy legitimate software?  I'd be fearing for my life, frankly.
    The reason you can't upgrade is that the serial number (if you even get one) is pirated and Adobe's no fool.  They're not going to accept them for upgrade!  Simple as that!

  • Upgrading from CS5.5 premium to CS6 standard - will I lose Dreamweaver?

    Hi
    I'm currently using CS5.5 Design Premium, which includes Dreamweaver, and am thinking of upgrading to CS6 Design Standard, which doesn't include Dreamweaver. What will happen to my copy of Dreamweaver when I upgrade to CS6 Design Standard?
    Thanks

  • Upgrade from CS5 Master Collection to CS6 Master Collection - 2-3 Users

    I currently use Creative Suite 5 Master Collection (originally purchased as an Upgrade from CS2) and need to upgrade to CS6.  I would need to install the suite on 2-3 Windows based PCs.  What is the most cost effective option?

    Then you need licenses for each user. Since you only have on copy of CS5
    you¹d get an upgrade for that but you¹d have to pay full price for the other
    two. Approximate cost would be about $6,000
    You¹re far better off going to Creative Cloud, IMO.

  • Installation of upgrade from CS5.5 to 6 of Design Premium.  Stopped, said I had pirated software?

    I am installing an ugrade for CS Design & Web premium, via a CD.. from 5.5 to 6.  Entered Ser No. It got part the way done then stopped and said I had pirated software.  Software arrived in mail today.  Win7 user.

    If you are still trying to use the same install files then you will likely continue to experience difficulties.  Per Mylenium's message #1 please try downloading the trial and installing that.
    You may also want to try copying the install files from the disc to confirm that you are receiving disc errors.  You can then try the same process on another computer to determine if there is a failure of your installation media or optical drive.  If you complete these steps and do determine it is a failure of the media please contact our support team to be sent a replacement of the physical media.

  • Why can't I upgrade from SL 10.6.8 to Mavericks?

    I recently inherited a Mac Pro (I believe it's 2009) with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed, Configuration is 16 GB RAM,  2.66 CPU, 500-plus GB of free hard drive space. I downloaded Mavericks and tried to install. Mac lPro starts updating but after 24 hours, I still get grey screen with twirling icon thng. Nothing is happening--the Mac seems to be in limbo. I've searched extensively here and elsewhere and I can't figure out what's wrong. There may be apps on the machine that might be causing a problem, but I have no idea which of those, if any, are an issue.
    Any recommendations on what to try now? Is it the apps that are installed and if one is suspect, how do I figure out which one(s) to uninstall?
    I want to upgrade OS and then install a new graphics card (the GX 120 is installed now). I tried two GeoForce cards with Snow Leopard and neither worked. I assume t has something to do with not being able to upgrade. I tried a GeoForce GT9900 and GTX460.

    I scanned the drive with Disk Utility and and it checked out okay. I've given up trying to update the OS on this particular drive. Right now, I'm in the middle of installing SL on a new drive and then will update and then try to install Mavericks. We'll let you know how that works out. I'm hoping to be able to use Migration Assistant to port my apps over to the new drive.
    The graphcis card was never an issue. I have the original GT120 installed. I want to upgrade my OS so I can get a new card, complete with the drivers I need.
    Thanks.

  • Why can't I upgrade from OSX 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion?

    I've tried to buy the app, I've tried to search for the answer, I've tried to ignore how far I am falling behind, but now I just need to get it done. But I can't. Please help.

    Does the machine meet the specs? Details on what you did trying to buy it are important to getting a solution.

  • What is the cost to upgrade from CS5 Master Collection to CS6 Master Collection? [was: Upgrading]

    Why is it so freaking difficult to find upgrade pricing for Master Collection from CS 5 to CS 6?  For Adobe to be so great the website is horrible.  User are stuck in a never-ending series new tabs. In one instance Adobe says to purchase an upgrade go to www.adobe.com, click on BUY... Have they not realized that they've changed the web site? And everything redirects to Creative Cloud?  Horrible service.

    Agreed, it's a hard site to navigate, especially if you want non-Cloud products.

    That said, I would rather pay for the Cloud than the CS5 -> CS6 upgrade price.
