Helene,
The upgrade to CS6 was only valid if you owned CS5.
So an upgrade from say CS3 or CS4 to CS6 was not allowed. This was published on
most of the sources such as B&H , Adorama etc etc.. included being listed in
the upgrade requirement listing on Adobe's site..( you can easily view them as
their still up) That was from day one.. So if you were at CS4 you had to
buy both the CS5 and CS6 upgrades to get there or just buy the CS6 retail
software.. The CS6 upgrade software will not work with CS3 or CS4.. So I suggest
somehow you have a misunderstanding.. The tough part now is that unless you
stumble on an upgrade for CS5 say on ebay or Craigs list your out of luck.
those have pretty much been sold out and are no longer being produced.. The CS6
upgrade today typically comes directly from Adobe unless you find one on Craigs
list or eBay.. or?? You do have one more option.. and that is to call
Adobe Support..... If you validate that you have a working license for CS4 and
their are no CS5 upgrades in the pipe what they may do for you is ship you a
retail version of CS6 and charge you for both upgrades.. They did that for
me while back to resolve an issue I had. It saved me a few
bucks..
Not sure if it's ok to do this or not but I
have a brand new unopened boxed PS CS6 for Windows (two computers allowed)
retail package that I can live without.. If anyone wants it I will make a good
deal it sells for 600 bucks on Amazon..I've never even opened the package..

HeleneI bought every upgrade since PS 3 in 1995 (?). After CS4, I decided I would skip a version. Adobe announced if you didn't buy the CS5 upgrade, you wouldn't be able to buy the CS6 upgrade. I rushed to buy CS5. Guess what? Adobe then announced you could buy CS6 even if you didn't buy CS5. I'm finished with them! They are not exactly a corporate example of trustworthiness.I was shocked this morning watching Michael Reichmann's interview with Thomas Knoll on Luminous Landscape when Reichmann announced he skipped every other version of Photoshop. Imagine that!No virus found in this message.
