Re-install PS CS4 disc 'upgrade '.

I recently had to do a clean reinstall of my OS (Windows XP Pro SP3), which of course also erased on my system drive (data is stored on separate drives). I spent all weekend with care, installation and update drivers, programs and system files and am now reinstalling primary applications. Among them, the one I use most is Photoshop CS4, but the installation disc is a version upgrade (UPG PHOTOSHOP is above the serial number) that I bought several years ago to replace Photoshop CS2. Now that Adobe has stopped supporting all CS2 applications (meaning that my PS CS2 serial number is now invalid and the installation disk so unusable), will I still be able to install PS CS4 from my upgrade disk? Surely, there must be a way to do this.

Hi tobymarx,

You can install the upgrade to Photoshop CS4, serial number for the CS2 you will work as Adobe has not extinguished the activation server, which means the serial number are always good for installation.

Thank you

  • How can I install Acrobat CS4 after installing creative cloud subscription?

    I am owner of Creative Suite 4 and Acrobat need from this 5 CD set. I was not able to install Acrobat just because I have a subscription to creative cloud that does not include an Acrobat. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Loydc1941,

    Your subscription to creative cloud is independent of CS4 and should not interfere with the installation of the Acrobat 9 that came with you more. Run the Creative Suite Installer and installing it will give you a screen where you can choose which application you want to install.

    If you have tried and it doesn't work, we will be able to best solve your problem if you can provide more details as suggested by Mylenium.

    CS4 on Windows 10 seems to be broken... at least I can't clone. Before that, Silver FX and the related add ons did not work. I would like to remove and re-install Photoshop CS4 on Windows 10, but I'm afraid that none of these upgrade CD I will work... they are all dependent on a previous installation. If I remove photoshop and try to use the CS4 install disc I have, it fails? Will I need to re - install Photoshop 5.5 and each single update since then go to CS4?

    You need not install older versions in order to get the last update enabled.  During the CS4 activation process, you can specify the eligible previous version (choose the oldest among a list, then enter its serial number).  Choose any one you had just before CS4.

  • I bought a "Windows Vista SP1 Upgrade disc" Wal-Mart and on the accident. I thought it was a full version, but turned out to be upgraded. How can I install this drive to upgrade on my computer if I do not already have an existing operating system?

    You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.

    Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.

  • I bought Vista Ultimate professional to upgrade the installed Vista. The 'Upgrade' feature is disabled in my professional (full) Vista Ultimate package. Why?

    Why can't go from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate?

    I have a laptop double boot configured with Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional.

    I bought Vista Ultimate professional to upgrade the installed Vista. The 'Upgrade' feature is disabled in my professional (full) Vista Ultimate package. Why?

    Update requires the same Service Pack level.  For example, if your current Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 or SP2 installed, you will need to uninstall the Service Pack to be able to use the Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, you have that has no Service Pack integrated.

    Dear Sirs.

    I installed DW CS4 on Windows 10 Preview Edition and it worked fine. After the upgrade to the final version of Windows 10 I'm no more able to start DW. I guess it's a problem with licensing. I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but is not changes anything.

    Hi all hope you can help me. I bought ps cs4 extended upgrade for my Mac. Try to install the program istall check my system profile then asks me the serial number of the product. all well up to this point, then on the next page, it tells me it cannot find an existing product to upgrade and asks me to insert the serial number of the eligible product. I have the full version of the standard cs3 on my Mac so I insert the number. OK so far. on the same page it asks me to choose my product qualifying showing cs3 extended in the box. However when I try to insert the standard cs3 I find there is nothing to change this option only one.  On the adobe website, it clearly shows that I should be able to update to the standard version, expanded. Can someone dvise me. I bought the upgrade of Apple and it is the international version.
