It was what the guy at the Adobe Store (UK) told me - he was trying to pacify me after the whole US/US price thing - I hope it wasn't a lie!
I was looking at Design Premium and he offered me an upgrade to CS2 for £492 and told me quote "a free upgrade will be available to customers that buy CS2 until CS3 becomes available". Still nearly double the US price for CS3 but I digress... Macromedia did offer a deal exactly like that we I upgraded from Flash 7 to Flash 8. I had 45 days to fax over a proof of purchase. Of course I ended up forgetting and forking out the full price about six months later. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Hoffman Sent: 29 March 2007 18:06 To: [email protected] Subject: [Flashcoders] Free Upgrade CS2 to CS3??? I hope the information I just got is wrong, so please post here if you learn anything different from Adobe. I just had a long talk with Deborah at US Adobe sales and she was unable to find any free update offer from CS2 to CS3, regardless of how recently one had purchased CS2. The best US price she could find for an upgrade was $799, and that was going from CS2 Production Premium to CS3 Production Premium. All other upgrade paths are called "upsell" rather than "upgrade" because CS3 Production Premium includes more applications. So, I have Studio 8 Pro, Photoshop CS, Premiere Pro 1.5, Audition 1.5, and an old version of Illustrator, and it appears the cheapest I can upgrade to the CS3 Production Premiere will be $1199 US. I guess it could be worse -- I could be living in Europe. I would LOVE to hear that I'm wrong, and that there actually is a free update if I buy CS2 Premium or CS2 Production Premium in the next few days. That would save me a small bundle.
