β Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between Design Standard and Design Premium in CS4?
Design Standard includes the four essential applications for DTP and print: Photoshop CS4, InDesign CS4, Illustrator CS4, and Acrobat 9 Pro. Design Premium adds Photoshop Extended (with advanced 3D features), Dreamweaver CS4 for the web, Flash Professional CS4 for animation, and Fireworks CS4 for interface design, steering the suite towards interactive and web creation.
Q2: Does Adobe CS4 work on macOS Catalina or Big Sur?
No, Creative Suite 4 is not compatible with macOS Catalina (10.15) and later versions because these systems have dropped support for 32-bit applications. CS4 works ideally on Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). For newer systems, you will need to use a more modern version of Adobe Creative Cloud or maintain a dedicated older Mac.
Q3: Can I open files created with CS4 in modern versions of Adobe?
Yes, files created with Photoshop CS4 (.psd), Illustrator CS4 (.ai), and InDesign CS4 (.indd) remain compatible with current versions of Adobe Creative Cloud. Backward compatibility is excellent, allowing you to open your old projects. However, files created with newer versions may not open correctly in CS4 due to new features.
Q4: What are the main advantages of Creative Suite 4 over CS3?
CS4 brings a rethought and unified user interface across all applications with resizable panels. Photoshop gains Content-Aware Scaling, improved non-destructive adjustments, and better 3D management. InDesign introduces the essential Live Preflight and artboard rotation. Illustrator finally allows gradients on paths and offers up to 100 artboards. Bridge CS4 is much faster with optimized previews.
Q5: How do I activate Creative Suite 4 if Adobe's servers are no longer available?
Adobe disabled the activation servers for CS4 in 2013. However, the company provided special serial numbers and instructions to allow offline installation of these older versions. Legitimate users can contact Adobe support or use the officially documented alternative activation methods to activate their copy without connecting to the servers.
Q6: Is Creative Suite 4 Design Standard suitable for professional use today?
CS4 remains fully functional for many traditional graphic design and DTP workflows, including offset printing, vector logo creation, document layout, or classic photo retouching. However, you will not have access to new features like Creative Cloud Libraries, device synchronization, modern formats, or artificial intelligence (Adobe Sensei). Ideal for specific needs or limited budgets.
Q7: On how many machines can I install Creative Suite 4?
The Adobe Creative Suite 4 license allows installation on two computers (for example, a desktop and a laptop) as long as they are not used simultaneously by different people. Adobe activation checks that the license is not being abused. For multi-user or educational environments, specific volume licenses were available.
