Different issue actually, Adobe's VERY restrictive on licensing, upgrades have to be the same type of license as the previous one. For example, I've got PS CS3 Extended. I don't use the extra features of Extended over Standard, but due to licensing restrictions I can't buy an upgrade version of CS5 Standard as my copy of CS3 Extended won't qualify for the upgrade key, I have to buy CS5 Extended instead. Thankfully I'm a student again and get student pricing which is as cheap as upgrades. -- M.
