Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Your Best CS4 Upgrade Guesstimate
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 Studio 8 is to Creative Suite 3 Web Standard for $400 ...if you're only interested in the flash. That is unless I win a free version in one of the raffles in my flash users' group.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Your Best CS4 Upgrade Guesstimate
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 upgrade from Studio 8 - CS3, but having any of the other Adobe products does not make a difference to this price. You can also go on Amazon, (or ebay providing you can put up with all the shysters offering backup discs), and buy the upgrades to build you up to the right place, although you will probably need to get the transfer of license document filled in by the seller if you do it this way. Watch out for regional variations too - Adobe mentioned somewhere about having to stick to a language / country variation once you have chosen that package, so you probably won't be able to upgrade a US CS3 with a UK CS4 upgrade. This is not a huge problem as they are both English versions, but for other language speakers it could be.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Your Best CS4 Upgrade Guesstimate
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 passport with your CS3 / CS4 and make this visible at all times to the plethora of CCTV cameras we have in London. We may have a slight problem streaming this feed to more than 5 users because we don't have the full FMS license, but as long as no-one else connects whilst Bruce is watching you should be safe :) Kerry Thompson wrote: Pedro Kostelec wrote: Or ask a friend in the US to buy it for you and send it via post.

There are upgrade packages, including upgrades you can do from the Macromedia packages to Adobe ones. That's what I used in the past (Studio 8 - Adobe Web pack), and it was the price of a regular upgrade. I'm not sure of your local pricing, but here, updating from a previous version to the newest version is usually the same price as updating from an OLDER version to the newer one. So, 8 - CS4 would be the same price as CS3 - CS4. So waiting in this case makes sense.
