TCS 2.5 Upgrade - Available as Single Installer?

I'm using the TCS 2.0 now (after purchasing 1.3 initially & upgrading to 2.0) and I see that the 2.5 upgrade is out now. We're on the TLP licensing program and I used the new licensing website to see that we were entitled to get the 2.5 upgrade. However, in the ESD downloads section, all I see is a TCS 2.0 download, and new versions of Captivate 5, Adobe Web Premium 5 (not sure what that is), and Photoshop 12.0. I knew that TCS 2.5 only had updates to handle the new CS5 integrations, but wasn't sure if you would get a single 2.5 installer to download or that you had to do each of the 3 other downloads separately for this upgrade.

Adobe Support was unsure if there was 1 installer or 3 separate ones - anybody know?

Jeff,

AFAIK, any "upgrades" from TCS2 to 2.5 are just entitled to the new individual Captivate, PS, etc. components, not a new complete package. There's another thread on this at:

I think you meant this thread -

I had read that one, but didn't think it helped all that much because I wasn't expecting a complete new license with the 2.5 upgrade. My download screen looks like this:

I thought that there were incremental upgrades to RH to make it play nice with the new CS5 components that 2.5 had in it. The other post mentions an UPGRADES zip folder that I don't see - that's probably where the RH bit is to be found.

Adobe Support's sending me out a DVD that supposedly has TCS 2.5 on it - I'll report back when it gets here.

BTW - I think that new installs of TCS 2.5 are probably being done like this: purchase 2.5, get 2.0 + 2.5 upgrades = 2.5 installed

Ok - DVD package arrived! It's a 3 DVD set with the entire suite on it - not just an upgrader. There is an Upgrades folder on the first DVD, but it only has the RH & FM patches that were on the Downloads page. I tried running the FM patch, but it honks if you're not on FM9p196 (and I'm at p255).

So...It looks like I have to install the whole thing. I wonder which serial number it wants on the initial screen - the original TCS 1.3 one, the 2.0 upgrade one or the 2.5 upgrade one? Better make some backups first!
