Upgrade from CS2 to CS3? (for Windows XP)

Hi, guys. I'm new here. And I only signed up for the forums so I could ask for help! Haha! So, let's go...

I recently started using Adobe CS2.

I signed up for the 30 day trial of RadLab by Totally Rad. It worked fine, but my trial expired before I could finish the pictures that I had been editing. So I uninstalled the RadLab trial, signed for a new trial with a different and re-installed e-mail address. Only, this time, RadLab would not work. So I contacted Totally Rad and the guy told me that RadLab won't work on CS2. It must be CS3 or higher. (I'm still confused as to how RadLab worked 30 days on my CS2 if it only allegedly works on CS3 or higher)...

So now, I'm looking to move from CS2 to CS3... but I don't know where to look. I tried Google, but nothing seems to match what I'm looking for. I wouldn't be upgraded all the way up to CS5, because I don't think that my PC can handle. (I was informed that CS5 takes a lot of space, and I don't think that my computer is strong enough to hold it all. My abilities are very limited. Even with CS2, I couldn't open/edit all at once.)

I say all this, to ask the following question...

How can I do to upgrade from CS2 to CS3, and it cost me an arm and a leg? I'm on a very tight budget ($150 is the highest absolute , I'm ready to go). I am unemployed and money is very tight.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi country... I just checked and RadLab also works with Photoshop Elements, and it's only about $75 right now!

    My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
    Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

    Hope this helps,

    Adobe offers only a platform Swap on current software: order product. Platform, language swap

    CS3 is also too old to have a "upgrade path" and is no longer sold or taken in charge by Adobe.

    You, as an owner of CS3, are eligible for a 40% discount on your first year of a subscription to creative cloud well: pricing and membership creative cloud plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

    If you don't want to go with the subscription service, Adobe still offers CS6 (4 versions of current & no longer receive updates) as a perpetual license "a time of payment/download": Creative Suite 6

  • Upgrade from CS2 commercial education full CS5?

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum. I have a question about upgrading to CS5. I don't think that there was another question on this specific issue I have. If there is, I'm sorry to see it again.

    Basically, I have a copy of version CS2 Design Premium Education. Now, I would like to upgrade to CS5 Design Premium Commercial version. I didn't need to work from home before, so never really need commercial license for my laptop. But now it's time to get one, so I can work anywhere.

    I know there is an upgrade from CS2 to CS5 version I can buy, but it doesn't tell me if it can be used on the education version too.

    Can someone confirm that the upgrade works on an education version too?

    Thanks heaps.


    Leanne

    You can use the teaching license to upgrade to a commercial license. In fact, it's one of the reasons that adobe has created the educational license to encourage you to purchase a commercial license when you went out on your own. However, you new license replaces the old. You cannot use the old computer software one and simultaneously use the new license on another computer.

  • Get the error code 0 x 80070002 when try to install apps from the app store for Windows 8

    When I try to install apps from the app store for windows 8, I get an error code 0 x 80070002. I have a Lenovo laptop.

    I had this problem and I have searched and searched for a solution. Finally, what worked for me was creating a new account, don't use do not account the store put in place.

    1. make a new account with a different email address and

    2. move all the information that you have your first account to the new account.

    3. delete the first account and create a new account with the first e-mail.

    4. once do you move all the programs and files back into this account and delete the account with the different email address.

    This is what worked for me. He was very involved, but doing it this way is not reset your desktop settings and others. You can search the exact solution I described above, because I did it in February and I don't know that I've linked all the steps correctly.

  • Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

    I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

    I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

    Hi pwcushman,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.

    You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.
