Would you upgrade from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5?

I am always weary of upgrading to mid-year releases like this because usually there are more headaches than benefits.  Would I be missing out on a lot of functionality by not upgrading from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5?   I primarily use Indesign to lay-out interactive digital publications.  Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated!
Cheers!
Steve

If you're working with epubs, definitely upgrade!  Here's an article that lists the new features.

  • Upgrade from Design Premium CS4 to Production Premium CS5

    Will InDesign, Fireworks, and Dreamweaver still function from Design CS4 to Production CS5? I have heard conflicting advise that the upgrade will void those applications?? Thanks.

    The upgrade will not touch the earlier version. Whoever told you otherwise was incorrect.

    Hi,
    I am upgrading a Design premium to elearning suite. The design premium has 2 years maintenance, but Adobehas told me that if I upgrade from design to anything else the maintenance is lost and I have to buy more.

  • Upgrading Indesign from 'Design Premium' CS3 to CS5 - compatibility

    I work in-house in marketing; we're looking at upgrading two of our Adobe Design Premium CS3 suites to the CS5 version. We have four or five CS3 suite licenses but can only afford to upgrade two of them at present.
    My question is about the InDesign element - do we need to have the CS4 version in order to be able to effectively save down to a version that can be used between InDesign CS3 and CS5?
    I'm worried about compatibility internally and externally - we use a lot of freelance designers who mostly use CS5 - this is already causing issues as we cannot open the files they send.
    Any tips/hints you can give would be gratefully received!

    The ONLY way to get a file from CS5 to open in CS3 is to export from CS5 to.idml, open that in CS4, export from there to .inx, and open that in CS3. Ther esults won't look a whole lot like the original CS5 file, especially if any features were added in CS4 or CS5 have been used, and there may be noticable changes in text flow due to text engine differences between versions.
    Working in collaboration across different versions is a lousy workflow.

  • Upgrade indesign from design premium suite to CS5.5 then to CS6

    Hi, I have indesign cs5 as part of the design premium suite. The other in my office have cs3 and purchasing new copies of cs6. can i upgrade to cs6 without paying the £700 price tag? can I upgrade to cs5.5 for free and then pay for upgrade to cs6? 

    DHAArchitecture the complimentary period for upgrades from CS5 to CS5.5 expired some time ago.  I am sorry but you will either want to look at upgrading to CS6 or consider a Creative Cloud membership.  Creative Cloud Membership does also include CS6.
    You can find out more information about the Creative Cloud at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html?promoid=JQPEQ.
    Also if you wish to purchase an upgrade for CS6 please see http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?start=10.

  • Upgrading from CS2 'Premium' to Photoshop CS5

    I have CS2 Premium and find that I have no use for much of the suite's products, though I use Photoshop quite a bit. I would like to upgrade to the new Photoshop CS5 and was wondering if I can do this from CS2 Premium? All I see in the "upgrade from" choices are Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop CS3 Extended, or Photoshop CS4, CS3, and CS2.
    So I don't know what to choose if I can even choose any of these upgrade paths.
    Anyone know?

    You cannot upgrade individual suite components.

  • Unable to upgrade adobe design premium from cs5.5 to cs6. Problem with eligibility of cs5.5 serial number

    I upgraded from design premium cs5.5 to design premium cs6 and am unable to install. I get all the way to where it asks for the serial number of my prior product. Then it complains that the serial number dosent represent an eligible product. The install is on a new machine that has never had the adobe product installed. I unregistered the cs5.5 product on my old machine before trying to install cs0.

    Contact serial number support by web chat.

  • Upgrade to CS5 production from design premium CS4

    Is it possible to upgrade to CS5 production from design premium CS4 and not loose the ability to use CS4 software such as indesign & fireworks?
    Thank you.
    Bobby

    Hi Bob
    Thank you for your reply.
    I do have an eligable copy of design premium and was about to purchase an upgrade to post production under that presumption.
    After talking to the live Adobe chat person "Janet" I was left with the impression that CS4 collapses upon installation of CS5 and therefor unable to use indesign CS4 anymore.
    Adobe do not seem to detail anywhere on the website this is true or not, which is making it difficult for me to upgrade to the correct suite package.
    Thanks
    Phil

  • What would make YOU upgrade from a 2011 to a 2012 MBA?

    What would make you upgrade from a 2011 MBA to a 2012 MBA?
    For me, the following woud be important for an 13'' MBA upgrade:
    keep the low weight or even improve it
    do not sacrifice battery life
    offer an 8 GB memory option
    offer USB 3.0 in addition to Thunderbolt
    Pretty simple, isn't it?

    carl wolf wrote:
    There is no "2012 MBA".
    True, but expecting a similar cycle of time between revisions is no more "strange" than expecting 2013 to arrive. I call it confidence in Apple's innovation cycles.
    Yes, I suppose it is "speculating" in the harsh sense of the word, but so would talk about Apple's mere existence in the future. Right?

  • I cannot upgrade two Design Premium Suites from 5.5 to 6.0

    I cannot upgrade two Design Premium Suites from 5.5 to 6.0!
    I have a Volume Licensing for several Adobe Products and now I want to upgrade two of the Design Premiums to 6.0.  I have bought two Retail upgrades (with a little discount) but this not going to work.
    The Support help Chat says that I cannot use a Retail Upgrade for a Volume Licensed Design premium.
    Why? I haven't found any info about this. So after two hours a chatting with several persons at the Helpdesk I was provided with a phone number.
    When I called this Phone Number they said my serial was not connected to my Account. Unbelievable because in my Account there are all the right Numbers.
    This man said I had to call another number 08004438158 to solve my Problem. Connect to this Number is Impossible (not reachable)! 
    What to do? I cannot solve this problem with the Support Chatbox,
    I cannot solve this with a support employee on the Phone and another Phone Number is not reachable.
    I have paid a lot of Money throughout the years with Adobe Products. We are running 7 Design Premiums, Several Photoshops, several Adobe Servers Applications and two prescriptions of the CC.
    And now nobody can help me with this problem????

    Thanx Mylenium for your Suggestion .
    Today I have done another attempt by Phone. From the Netherlands Customer Service I received a different telephone number for Support. It took a while this Morning and a little patience but at last I received two unlocking Codes. So I didn't need to start an Online Support Case.

  • Upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server

    Hi,
    I have been looking on adobe site to check if I can have an upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. I have Indesign CS3 license but need to migrate to Indesign CS5 server. Does anybody know whether it is possible to buy upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. Or will I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Any help on this is appriciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have been using Indesign CS3 for generating automated reports. These reports are large in numbers. Limitation with Indesign CS3 is it only allows single instance of the application. And hence I am forced to generate these reports in sequence using multiple servers. Indesign CS5 server on the other hand seems to allow multiple instances running at the same time. This would mean I can generate multiple reports at the same time. This will reduce time to generate these reports and also limit the number of servers. This is the reason I want to migrate from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. However, I am not sure if I can get direct upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server or I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Do you have any idea on this, please suggest. Thanks in advance for your response.
    Regards,
    Chaitan.

  • Upgrade cs3 design premium to cs 5.5 web premium

    Can I upgrade cs3 design premium to cs 5.5 web premium and will I lose the functionality of the Indesign CS3 that I have now?

    I believe it will but you must find the right upgrade and finding a CS5.5 upgrade is not going to be easy. Why not just get the CS6 Web and Design Premium package (that eligibility ends soon) or better yet, take advantage of the intro pricing for Creative Cloud. At $29.99/month it’s a bargain: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html

  • Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

    Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
    My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
    I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
    I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

    Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

  • How can you upgrade from OS 10.4

    How can you upgrade from MAC 10.4.4

    Backup your computer.
    Buy Snow Leopard.
    Boot from Snow Leopard DVD.
    Erase the hard drive.
    Install Snow Leopard.
    To get Snow Leopard:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    To upgrade further see:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
