I don't know if this will help anyone, but here is a deal I got from Adobe. I was waiting to upgrade from v6.0 to CS2 when I decided to wait a bit longer for the CS3 upgrade. Well, I called Adobe and was told by the CSR that Adobe doesn't offer an upgrade path for versions older than 7.0 so I was forced to get CS2 then upgrade to CS3. Total price was about $375. I had heard that there is a free upgrade IF you purchase a version within 30 days of the shipping announcement. I confirmed this with the CSR. I asked if I could buy CS2 locally and get the upgrade from Adobe - "no problem, you just need to find a local retailer with it in stock." My local CompUSA was going out of business. I got the last copy for $140. I went home and did the install/activate/register. I called Adobe back and spoke to another CSR and explained the situation. He checked the registration and within minutes was being charged $6.31 shipping/handling and tax for the upgrade. Total upgrade from v6 to CS3 was about $150. They will ship after receiving a faxed copy of my receipt and other information (Name, incident case number, serial number of CS2, etc). It should arrive in about a week.

For anyone that just bought Photoshop CS2 in the past 30 days, call Adobe and ask for a free upgrade to CS3. I think the offer ends this week.

Hope this helps,
Mike

 

Great! It's nice that they permitted that. In the long run they will reap the benefits over playing hard ball. Congratulations. I know it's an expensive package, but like a good camera and lens the software is also a tool and without good tools you're really hamstrung.

Hey Gale, your tip paid off. It was my browser which wouldn't let me enter the discoun t code. With some help from Larry, I actually got the discount on a Mac CS3 upgrade. Thanks!

Glad it worked, not sure what I did other than motivate you. Have to save all we can for these old retired guys.
