Plstsn Aug 16, 2009 9:10 AM (in response to Mark A Goodwin)I'm not an expert, but I would think that the PSCS4 installer will prompt you for previous serials to confirm that you are allowed to upgrade.
The prompt will be activated when the installer is not able to find any version residing on your MacBook Pro.
So just keep some previous serials in reach.

Or you will need the original Disc from previos versions.
How exactly the install is gonna flow I'm not sure, but I'm sure you don't need to install prior versions!

Buko. Aug 16, 2009 10:59 AM (in response to Mark A Goodwin)The advice in this forum is really going down hill now that Adobe has run off most the regulars.
Every version of Photoshop is a separate install that is not dependent on any other version. With an Upgrade you just need the serial number of the previous version. Thats it. I like to keep older versions around because I can go back and see how things were done in earlier versions. I have almost all them going back to version 2.5.1. Another reason to keep a previous version is if you can't do it in the new version because of the changes made you have a fall back.
So when you install PSCS4 if the installer can't find a the previous version you upgraded from you need to enter the serial number of the previous version.

Please elaborate, I'm curious!

Was my answer SO down-hill - or was it because I was not a 100% sure on which of my suggestions would be the correct answer?

Mark A Goodwin Aug 16, 2009 2:42 PM (in response to Buko.)Hi Chaps
Thanks for the advice, it all makes sense. The only reason I asked was, when I purchased CS3 upgrade the guy on the UK Adobe PS Help desk told me to leave CS3 on my computer because, the removal would affect the performance of CS4! Hence my concern.
What the F**** is going on at Adobe? It seems that since they became God's right hand they are rapidly losing interest in the customer!! I am already reading messages from fellow Apple Mac users that they are feeling neglected. I can remember a time when it was only Apple users who used PS.
Thanks
Mark

Well Adobe are not alone in the "Let the Apple Macintosh users come in second" race - sad but unfortunately true .
Good luck with the installing.
