DW CS4 installation tips

I am owner of Creative Suite Design Premium CS3 (and all earlier versions).

I downloaded DW CS4 Beta back during the Beta cycle, he took for a whirlwind and decided against the upgrade.

I have since received the Design Premium CS3 CS4 update as a gift (lucky me).

First and foremost, I run the CS4 clean script that went well.

I then installed the CS4 update that appears to be happening for hours but went well.

However whenever I launch DW CS4, the home screen tells me that CS4 beta is running (!) and pushes me to a (probably stand-alone) serial No. (more serial No. is not accepted).

All of the other apps will work perfectly.

I uninstalled CS4 twice, run the script cleaning CS4 twice and reinstalled CS4 but DW CS4 Beta will not disappear.

I am aware that this issue should be addressed to Customer Service, but I thought I'd first see if anyone conquered this problem on their own.

In fact, it is a known problem and is your own fault (no offense). When you have uninstalled the beta version, you don't turn it off. Since CS4 introduced "smart update and felxible clearance" policy, suite installs not rewire serial number and leave the old man in place. After that, even the retail versions will use soap operas to Beta, if that's what they are. If it has expired, they will ask for a new. Support call is in this case really the only option, I'm afraid.

    Follow this procedure if it fails again below:

    Solution 1:

    1 use the cleanup tool to remove all associated with your machine CS 4: use of the Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems

    2 remove the "Caps" folder to the location:

    WIN 64 Bit: program files x86\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db

    WIN 32 bit: Program Files Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db

    3. after that, install the downloaded file.

    2 - install from this account.

    3 - Once installed, you are free to delete the account and all the files in the new account.

    If it still gives you an error, I recommend you to analyze the installation log file to know the root cause of the error, see:

  • InDesign CS4 Installer cannot validate my serial number upgrade CS design premium

    Hello, I need to use an older version of InDesign to work with one of my clients. I have the physical box of CS4, but I can't use this installer because it is on DVD and I just got a new iMac without a hard drive. So I downloaded of Abobe, InDesign CS4 Setup, but when I try to validate my code it does not work. My physical box of CS4 is a Design Premium UPGRADE version, but the InDesign Installer is not validate my old number CS3 either. I tried phone support, no use: no support for these former products supplied (shame). Since I regularly bought all my CS versions from a dealer here in Italy it's extremely embarrassing, and I lose a precious time for this instead of working on a project. Can anyone here help with this please? Thank you.

  • Cs6 on machine with installed cs4 installation

    I have cs4 design premium installed on my machine, I want to install CS6 design and web premium trial on the same machine it will install messes up my cs4?

    No, CS6 won't do anything to your CS4. However, be aware that there may be problems compatibiliuty. By example, if the installation replaces a PDF library used in the world and CS4 can handle, export to PDF is not possible in CS4 programs. Similarly, all file associations point to CS6 after installation, which means by double clicking on a file will open in CS6, not Cs4 and things as a bridge from one call programs will also use the CS6 version. Finally, you may experience problems when removing CS6 and the uninstall program removes an essential element of overall used by CS4 because he thinks only of his own thing. So in summary: within the limits, it will be safe and even if you let the trial run without making a purchase, it would be preferable to leave the CS6 on the machine after that to avoid complications.

  • CS5 installation tips please

    My first post here so Hello to everyone.

    I've used photoshop since ps5.  I currently use CS4 extended on a PC.

    I recently downloaded and used the trial version of CS5 extended 30 days.

    trial has ended.

    I've now bought from adobe CS5 on disk (not extended) prefered version, I thought.

    ... is my question better to uninstall the trial first, before the installation of the drive.

    uncertain of the extended trial version and my box no extended version.

    If you use again the serial number is therefore to turn them off other program features in CS5 ex.

    interest my current CS4 extended works well complete with Open GL activated even if the trial of CS5 would not work with open GL, is a usual problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    Martin

    In fact, everything you need to do is you enter s/n with the trial version and you're good to go.  There is no difference in the trial and the real version.

    Whether it be extenced or no extended version is determined by the number if I understand correctly.

    CS5 has a little more power than CS4 so may take slightly more resources.  Are 64-bit versions?

    If open GL does not work it is a video card driver problem that is something that can usually be corrected with an update.

    Hope this helps

    Why would they care? You can download the same software from the Adobe (demo version) website, which can be activated at any time with a valid serial number. There is nothing magical about plastic disks. It is only a means of delivery.
