installation of updated software

Tags: #cs5 #install #cs6

I'm running Production premium CS5 on my computer, just got the upgrade disk in the mail for CS6. I'm wondering what the best policy for installation is. Should I uninstall CS5 before installing CS6? I don't want to run both versions because my C drive is a 140BG SSD so I'm trying not to clutter it.

But I have a few more questions:

What happens to my preference settings?

Will old projects still work in the new software?

Is there a way for me to keep soundbooth without keeping the whole creative suite 5?

Does Audition have scores available for download like soundbooth does?

 

Thanks for your advice & help

    Nothing. Adobe apps don't migrate settings to avoid compatibility issues. You will have to set them up from scratch or import/ export them, where possible.

     

    Will old projects still work in the new software?

     

    Sure. that's the whole point of selling upgrades. Just be aware that this is a one way road and you can't go back and open an AE CS6 project on CS5... for specific issues and caveats, ask on the product forums.

     

    Is there a way for me to keep soundbooth without keeping the whole creative suite 5?

     

    Uninstall the whole suite, then run a custom reinstall and only choose SB.

     

    Does Audition have scores available for download like soundbooth does?

     

    Ask in the AU forum.
