Uninstalling CS3 and install CS5.5 (Master Collection)

I bought CS 5.5 master collection so that I could use this CS3 master collection on another older machine.  My question is this: what is the best way to uninstall CS3 Master collection on my current machine (Windows 7-64 bit) so I can then install new version full CS5.5 master collection? Also, should I be aware of as much as on the old settings of backup software?  Just try to avoid headaches.

The only thing you need to worry is all "presets" that you have created yourself. So actions, swatches, brushes, etc. must be saved. Its best to uninstall before installing cs5 cs3 and not after, as this can cause problems with file associations.

If the second computer that your intend to put cs3 on is your only other computer, you should be able to use cs5 on it instead, that the license is supposed to be for the 2 systems, but only one can run at a time. To my knowledge, this license does consider the version number of the software. So if cs5 if on your new system and a laptop for example, do not put cs3 on a third computer because the license is for what I assume to be an upgrade.

If you have paid the full price, then the last paragraph is a moot point.

  • Uninstalling CS3 after installing CS5.5?

    I have already installed CS5.5 standard on my laptop and kept CS3 until I was competent.  What is the best procedure now Uninstall CS3 and free up HARD drive space?  Win7 64 bit OS.  Do I need to deactivate CS3 or this will stop the newest software to run?

    Different versions operate independently, so deactivate CS3 has no effect on the CS5.5. However, the uninstall don't - it lmess wil to associations of files and the shared components. So the only way to do is to uninstall everything, then only reinstall CS5.5.

  • Urgent! Please, I beg you! Installing CS5.5 master collection components

    I downloaded CS5.5 master collection, but no to not install all components. What happened to those that I have has not installed? Where can I find them? Can I install them later? Do I have to download the entire collection again? Where is the installer for the rest of the components? I use MAC OX 10.6 System.

    Snowwhitebunny it's because Adobe Download Assistant does not have permission to download the installation files in your Applications folder.  I'm surprised that you have not received an error message in Adobe Download Assistant himself.  I recommend trying download again and this time by choosing your user folder or desktop.  Once the download is complete the installation program launches automatically.

  • How to overcome error (20) during the installation of CS5.5 Master Collection?

    When installing CS5.5 Master collection, I have error (20). It says to reboot and I ran CS vacuum tool but no luck.error(20).png

    Hi Brade70291229,

    I hope that you have now installed CS5.5 Master Collection. If this isn't the case, you try to install by transfer? Adobe programs do generally not well migrate. Try instead to download programs directly and then activate with serial number: Download Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 products.

    If this does not answer the error and you continue to experience problems, please post response.

    Best,

    I CS5.5 Master Collection and you want to transfer to a new laptop.  The CS5.5 was an update for CS3 Design standard and I have all the disks and serial numbers.  I just uninstall both programs a laptop and install them on the other?

    You can do it, but you don't have to install cs3 in order to install your upgrade of cs5.5.

    You can launch the installation of cs5.5 and you will be asked your cs5.5 serial number.  Setup will ask you then select the product (in a drop-down list) calling.  Select cs3 and you will be prompted for the serial number for cs3.

    Enter the correct number at the right time and to proceed with the installation.

    If you no longer need these programs on your old laptop, disable (help > deactivate) before uninstalling so that you can keep your two activations.

  • Re-installing upgrade CS5.5 Master collection on the new drive. Workaround solutions?

    My hard drive fried, I re downloaded my version of CS5.5 Master collection and put the serial number, but since it's an upgrade, he wants to see the old files before installing. Backup failed. I'm using After Effects since COSA is out with a beta version. You can see my work going on youtube and looking for a reel Baron Sarto. How can I fix it?

    Instead of having the old version installed, you can just slect it in a list and then provide the serial number so that he can prove that you are eligible to use the upgrade.

  • CS5.5 Master Collection and Production Premium - is the 32-bit license?

    The CS5.5 Master Collection and Production Premium include a license for 32-bit Premiere Pro and After Effects. If I understand correctly, this 32-bit license can be used on a separate computer (and another user) simultaneously with the 64-bit version. Is this correct?

    No, actually not.  All Adobe software is unique to a single user, use if installed on one or two systems and particularly for CS4 32 bit components included with some suites CS5.5

    I bought a lot of adobe products in the past, and I was generally happy with them.

    However, I downloaded a demo of the CS5.5 Master Collection, and it will not be installed.

    I followed all solutions in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/628980?start=100 & tstart = 0 , but nothing helps.

    Hey guys,.

    I did what lordalpha1 said and it worked like a charm! Thanks a lot, man! I searched for a solution days already. I read the post and you have pretty much done everything I had tried less replacement of files. Furthermore, pipjunkies, I replaced the two files in the folder of the payloads with the 64-bit version, and it installs quickly without error. It sounded like you can have just replaced a. Try to do this for both and give that a try!

    can I install my CS Master collection on my PC now and then when I buy a mac later install on this computer?

    What version of the Masters Collection?

    The answer is no, unless you have CS6. Creative Suite serial numbers are for specific operating system: Windows only or Mac only.

    Adobe offers a process of exchange of platform (Win, Mac and vice versa) but only for the current versions and this is something all or nothing (you must abandon your serial number of Windows constantly to get the serial number Mac and vice versa):
