Nope, no problem. It will ask for the serial number of the upgrade version and then ask for the serial number of the older version. The big problem with Adobe software is when you are upgrading from an version that was in itself an upgrade, since in the past you didn't get a new serial number with an upgrade version. Usually a call to customer service will sort that out.

Interestingly, when I cross-graded from Photoshop CS3 (win) to CS4 (mac) it wouldn't accept the windows serial number but the same process worked fine going from InDesign CS (win) to CS4 (mac). In actual fact that last one should have been PageMaker 6.5 (mac) to InDesign CS4 (mac) but the double upgrade thing bit me and in desperation I tried the serial number from my girlfriend's windows CS version and it worked. For the Photoshop cross-grade I had to call customer service for a new serial number. I try to stay legit with all of my software but sometimes it really stretches my patience.

Hi all,

I'm considering an upgrade from CS2 to CS4, but my old copy is a PPC Mac version and the machine I want to run this on is an Intel Macbook Pro. Actually I'll probably install on both machines (IIRC the license allows this as long as you don't use both at once).

Am I likely to encounter any issues with installing the upgrade on the laptop? I don't remember if I have to have CS2 installed, or just pop its CD in, or just type in my license code.

I feel like I'm asking a dumb question but I'm going through hell trying to activate my old copy of Dreamweaver. Seriously this activation crap only throws hurdles in front of the honest customers.

Cheers,
Dave
