Which products will be upgraded for Adobe CS5.5?
Hello again Trevor, thanks for your good question.
As you can see, Adobe gave some color on what features to expect in a CS5.5 upgrade – but no specific products were named…
Based on the limited information they gave above, it sounds to us like (at the minimum) the following CS5 applications could be covered in their list of new features: InDesign, Dreamweaver, and Flash – plus the video products After Effects and/or Premiere Pro.
Hope this helps!
Hi, do you know what CS5.5 will cost to upgrade, or would it be free (?)
@ Thomas Green
While there is no way to tell what the future holds, in the history of Creative Suite, dot releases do cost money. The reason is quite obvious – CS1.3 added Acrobat 7, CS2.3 added Acrobat 8 and Dreamweaver 8, CS3.3 added Acrobat 9 and Fireworks CS3 (Design Premium) – all of which have to be paid for.
Predictably, CS5.5 will include Acrobat X, and Adobe did say something about Digital Publishing Suite (a series of services for digital content distribution) integration – perhaps by adding tools in that area. So yeah, CS5.5 will have an upgrade cost.
Thank you for your response … those are good examples, and you’re right they were not free, adding products etc
So maybe we don’t know what the price of CS5.5 will be yet, but you laid out the history pretty well !
Also from what the article says above, there may be more features added still on top of those.
Hopefully we’ll find out more from Adobe soon … anyway, I’m glad to know this information
Yesss !! a new suite, it’s coming !! I love Adobe. Get ready to upgrade.
I think that a software company should look at all of their customers, not everyone can afford a new computer every 6 months. I have a 32-bit system. Now I need programs that are from the cs4 suite. I can no longer purchase from Adobe. Why?
Hi Dale, thank you for your question. Yes, you’re right – quite a number of folks still have 32-bit computers, including Windows XP…
And yes, some Adobe CS5 and CS5.5 products do require a 64-bit system.
But fortunately, you can still purchase 32-bit CS4 products like After Effects and Premiere Pro directly from Adobe. Yes, it’s true.
Here’s one way to buy CS4 and get CS5.5 free – and here’s another way to buy CS5.5 and get CS4 instead.
Adobe also still has all the CS4 free trials available for download, including AE and PP.
Hope this helps, and does the trick for you!
