    PSCS4 Upgrade from 3

    Mark A Goodwin Community Member

      When I upgraded from CS2 to CS3, I was advised NOT to take CS2 off the computer as it would still be interacting with CS3.

       

      What should I do now?  I have purchased PSCS4 Upgrade  for my mac (It came by post on a cd).  My dilema is this:

       

      When I purchased the first upgrade I was told that I had to leave PSCS2 on the computer as CS3 would use a number of the files from CS2.  What do I do now?  Do I leave CS2 & CS3 on the computer taking up valuable space or can I now delete the previous versions?  Or does CS4 need to interact with CS3 as with the previous upgrade.

       

      Thank you

          That is absolute hogwash!  CS2 has nothing to do with CS3 (or CS4) nor viceversa.

           

          It's entirely your call.  Same with CS4.  You can keep prior versions or uninstall them.  Your choice.

           

          If the upgrade installer does not find a serial number in a previous version, it will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.

           

          However, if you're going to uninstall CS3, (1) use the Adobe Uninstaller in your Utilities folder:

          HardDrive/Applications/Utilities/Adobe/…

          DO NOT just drag things to the trash like we could with CS2 and earlier Versions, and (d) uninstall CS3 BEFORE installing CS4.
