new drive who dis

I just had to replace the boot (C:) drive on my Puget System. I was in the middle of a few big projects (Premiere Pro) when the drive failed. Right after the failure, Adobe MAX happened (yes it's been a few weeks) and all these new app versions have dropped. I just barely got this machine running again and now I have to reinstall Creative Cloud. Then, I need to finish those projects asap.

 

I realize that it's not recommended to update apps in the middle of projects, but a few issues:

 

1. I can't say for absolute certain exactly which previous version I was running for my last unfinished projects. I assume it was the most recent at the time, but I confess I don't memorize version numbers. Is there a way to tell from my project file metadata which version of Premiere Pro created it, so I can reinstall that version and keep going?

 

2. Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder (my most used) each have two updates listed: 24.6.3, and 25.0 (labeled "new release"). I have not ever seen this before and I don't know what is happening. Why are there two versions available? All of them have an Update button next to them. Am I supposed to update them all, or choose either the 24 or 25 version?

 

Please help and thanks!

maybe sticking to 24.6.3 would be your best solution.

sometimes opening the project file in a text editor might reveal project version somewhere,

but it is not recommended because it might accidentally damage the project file, so better

try this on a project copy after backup...

You can have multiple versions installed, and Adobe lets you (re)Install the last version of the previous release v24.6.3 (from the posts above) and also the current version v25. Plus you could have v23.... they don't interfere with each other.

2. You have version 24.6.2 installed and can be updated to 24.6.3

    You can also install 25.0

 

I would suggest that you wait to update until your WIP is finished.

For your current project, I would make a copy of the project file, open a new project in version 24, and import the copy of the current project into it.

Thank you! I will use 24.6.2.

 

Also, I'm a bit confused as to why both of those versions are showing up in the updates list? Is this some kind of interim where folks are supposed to run both 24 and 25 side by side? I didn't catch much of Max so I missed whatever announcement they made about this (why they are updating 24 as well as releasing 25). It's a bit confusing to me... even if I wasn't in the middle of a previous project, and I just wanted to update my apps, which should I pick and why?

If your preferences are set to not remove old versions when installing new versions, then you will have updates available for all versions installed when and if they become available.

You need to use a full drive backup program to be able to restore everything to a new drive

 

The product I bought and use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Note that I get NO benefit if you buy the program, I only use it and like what it does
Version 3+ allows restoring to a larger drive and expanding the partition to fit
.
Image runs off of a bootable CD or USB Flash Drive via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the CD or USB, the program uses less than 1Gig) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may not only restore the image over a messed up install, you may restore to a brand new drive in case of a hardware crash, and not have to re-install anything
.
I have actually done this restore one time... when a program I bought had a faulty installer that totally mangled the Windows registry... I had done a restore before installing the bad program so I did not lose anything when I had to do the restore
