p.1 #1 · PS CS3 to new computer?

Anyone know the fastest way to transfer CS3 to a new computer? I do NOT have an original disk for it, rather, I have an upgrade file for it and for CS2. The original disk I have for PS is PS 6!! Do I really have to go load all those versions up starting with the original, or is there a shortcut way to do it (note, I have already deactivated CS3 on the old computer)?

Thanks for any help.

you MAY be able to load the CS3 disk, and during installation, it might ask you to insert the disk for the original version, as in, PS6

not positive if adobe software works like this though.

You don't need to install any previous versions, but you will need the serial numbers handy.

If your computer is an Apple, you can do it via firewire

It was WAY easier than I thought it would be...just ran the .exe file for the CS3 upgrade, then had to input the serial number for it, and for my original cd version of PS 7. Piece of cake, took less than 3 minutes to install it on the new snazzy machine!
