Hi, Watch out for the "jump" - you are usually allowed to upgrade from 2 versions older for the cheaper price, but then anything outside that costs the full price of the package, or the expensive upgrade (MX - CS3, etc) Other people have mentioned the combinations - you can get an upg

GREAT POINT! . Did the exact same thing when I tried to upgrade from studio 8 to the single flash application (which was $200). Adobe made me snail mail a letter to Oregon to get my money back. Ridiculous since it is an easy mistake to make. The cheapest upgrade (from what I can see) from S

Strangely, flex 3 upgrade was a fiver cheaper to get the CD as opposed to the "download" edition, and I got a lovely grey box as well:) There is a weird thing to do with taxes for stuff from Ireland - we pay more for the download than the CD, which I guess gets distributed in the UK. I th

The only thing I noticed with the upgrades is a caveat that you can't upgrade from one country's license to a different one, so if you bought a US licensed CS3, you would have to upgrade with a US licensed CS4. I don't know how that is enforced though. I think you may have to carry your passp
