    As of PrPro CS 5, it is ONLY a 64-bit program, requiring a 64-bit OS to install/run. Going back to CS 5, if one had the Production Premium suite, PrPro CS 4 (32-bit) was included. I do not recall any 32-bit versions of any of the Production Studio, or Master Collection, being included with CS 6.

    It is an OS upgrade, or nothing.

    Good luck,

    Hunt

    Alright, Thank you 3 both. Now I hve one final question on this forum.

    Can you get a laptop with a 64-bit operating system, and if so, how does it handle, compared to a 32-bit? e.g. Faster, slower, runs hotter etc. (I know there are a lot of variables in that, but just in general.)

    Thanks!

    My son helps Dell, HP, and a number of other companies with their server problems, not the other way around.

    I hear you. Without your son, they wouldn't even know how to go about fixing their server problems...

    Ask your son if there are reasons IT departments buy Dell and HP servers outside of speedy delivery, inertia and legacy reasons. Engineering reasons. Share his response with us, please.

    Unfortunately Dell, HP, and name a lot of others have no idea what video editing means.

    That's what this forum and specialty integrators are for?

    After all, there gotta be a reason Z800 (and before that, xw series) has been the staple of video editing in Windows - for large post houses, .gov, etc.  Or the fact that Z800 is the most recommended system for video editing - by Adobe, Avid, Sony, Grass Valley.

    Regardless - what you said about getting base Tier 1 configurations and adding storage, memory, GPUs yourself - couldn't agree more - unless there is a lot of disposable income. Buying systems from specialty integrators who know their stuff - ditto.

    (I am seriously off-topic here - sorry about that.)


    Ask your son if there are reasons IT departments buy Dell and HP servers outside of speedy delivery, inertia and legacy reasons. Engineering reasons. Share his response with us, please.

    The resons are simple, single source of supply, corporate rebates, attractive price/quality for the bulk of the users. Reliable machines for everyday office work. Great standardization. Simple roll-out and maintenance. Single slip-streamed installation. Easy Help desk.

    But read some of the posts here and you will notice a number of common issues with users that have an IT department lurking around. Problems with slip-streamed installations, user rights, storage policies, lacking hardware, lack of understanding the needs of users, etc. All too often the IT department does not understand issues, that are raised here because 99% of the employees can use their standard Dell or HP for office applications or accounting without problems. Why would you need administrative rights? Nobody gets them outside IT. Why do you need a different disk configuration? Use the storage server. You are running out of disk space? Use an external USB disk, we still have a number laying around. Why do you need a nVidia card? Everybody works without problems with the base AMD/ATI card. You want more memory. Sorry, we have a standard configuration for everybody, including you. We make no exceptions.

    Sounds familiar?

    As Jim stated, an emphatic NO. Premiere Pro CS6 is 64-bit exclusive, and thus requires an entirely 64-bit system (CPU and OS). If your system has only a 32-bit OS installed, Premiere Pro versions since CS5 will not even install at all, let alone run at all, on that system. The last version of Premiere Pro to support Windows x32 was CS4.

    It will not even install on a 32 bit OS.  You must have 64 bit Windows.

    It does seem to be running just fine under Windows 8.
