Will My installed apps get deleted?

I Have Adobe CS5 Web Premium but lost my dvd, and im hoping that if i install mac osx lion, the entire suite will be deleted. I have no external hard drive to fit the whole thing into. PLEASE! Asking for help! PS: I have the same problem with the FAcetime App. Cam Pre-Installed with my macbook pro and im not sure if that too will get deleted. Please Help

I think you mean you are hoping it doesn't get deleted.

It should not. But you always need a backup.


That is a painful disc to lose at the price!

Why don't you order a copy from Adobe?


As you can see by the situation you're in, you ALWAYS need an external drive. If you can afford CS5 you can't NOT afford an externaql drive. Go buy one right now, firewire preferable, then we can get you upgraded without worry.

I'm not sure on the Adobe. Check that on their support site. If it's the same version and you have a serial number, it would seem reasonable that you could download the trial and put in your serial number. But "reasonable" has little to do with Adobe, so you better check.


What I do with updates, is install them on my cloned disk first to see if everything is working the way I want. Then, install to my internal disk. Hard disk drives are cheap, software can be pricey and you own data is priceless.
