 Install your software 

1. Before you install, close all applications currently running on your system—including other Adobe applications, and browser windows.  It is also recommended to temporarily turn off virus protection during the installation process.

2. You must have administrative privileges or be able to validate as an administrator.

3. Do one of the following: 

Windows:

  • Insert the DVD in your drive, and follow the on-screen instructions. If the installer does not launch automatically, navigate to the Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 folder found at the root level on the DVD and double-click Set-up.exe to start the installation process.
  • If you downloaded the software from the web, the installer will self-extract and launch automatically.  If the installer does not launch automatically, open the folder, navigate to the Flash Professional CS5.5 folder, double-click Set-up.exe, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Mac:

  • Insert the DVD in your drive, navigate to the Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 application folder found at the root level on your disk, double-click Install.app, and then follow the on-screen instructions.   
  • If you downloaded the software from the web, open the dmg file, navigate to the folder Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, double-click Install, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

4. If you are installing as an upgrade, the installer will check your system to find the valid upgrade product.  If it cannot find it, it will ask you to input the serial number of the product being upgraded.  You can also install the software in trial, then input your new and previous serial numbers in the serialization screen shown during launch.  

5.  If you are installing Flash Professional CS 5.5 Subscription Edition software, you will need to be connected to the Internet. The installer will prompt you if it detects that you are offline. An Adobe ID is required to purchase a subscription.  If for some reason, you cannot connect to the Internet, you can install the trail version of the software and input your subscription serial number and Adobe ID during installation.

 Trial software 

Features in trial software

The trial versions of After Effects CS5.5, Flash Professional CS5.5, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and Audition CS5.5 do not include some features that depend on software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of these products. HDV, XDCAM and AVCHD formats and sequence presets are not supported in the trial for both Mac OS and Windows. Adobe Media Encoder export does not include MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-2 DVD or MPEG-2 Blu-ray as export formats in the trial. The file importer does not recognize file types that are not included in trial mode (such as MPEG and XDCAM files). HDV is not included as a capture format in the Mac OS version of the trial.

Entering a serial number

Enter the serial number for the software you purchased in the serialization screen.  The serialization screen will load the first time you launch the application.  You can enter a serial number for the application itself or a serial number for any Creative Suite that contains the application. If the product you purchased is one of the Creative Suites, you can enter the serial number in any of the applications contained in the Creative Suite.  Other applications installed as part of the same Creative Suite will recognize the new serial number the next time the applications are launched.  If you purchased Flash Professional CS 5.5 Subscription Edition, you will need to be connected to the Internet and will be required to enter an Adobe ID when prompted.

Only applications running as a trial will recognize the new serial number.  If any of the applications have already been serialized with a different serial number, it will continue to use that serial number until you remove the older serial number using the Help > Deactivate > Deactivate Permanently.  Then on the next launch of the application, it will recognize the new serial number. 

The serial number you purchased is for the use of the software in a specific language, and will only be accepted by a product installed in that language.

Volume licensing 

Volume licensing customers cannot purchase from a trial directly. However, a volume licensing serial number can be used to serialize all Creative Suite applications, including the Acrobat X trial.   Please contact your reseller or authorized Adobe licensing center to place an order for a volume license.  To find a reseller in your area, go to www.adobe.com/go/resellerfinder_en.

 Electronic licensing

 You must accept the license agreement and warranty terms to use this product.  See www.adobe.com/go/eulas for details.  This product may automatically attempt to activate over the Internet. See www.adobe.com/go/activation for details.

 Registration information

Creating or entering an Adobe ID registers your software and sets up access to Adobe CS Live online services. In order to take advantage of your complimentary subscription of CS Live services, and get up-to-date product information, training, newsletters, and invitations to Adobe events and seminars, you must register your product.
