If you have Photoshop 7, your last upgrade opportunity is Wed Oct 15.
Purchase by then and you also get an upgrade to CS4. After that date no
upgrade path exists for Photoshop 7, and you must do a full purchase of the
current version of Photoshop.

Purchase by then and I believe you also get an upgrade to CS4, since you
are purchasing cs3 between CS4's announce and release date. After that

date no upgrade path exists for Photoshop 7, and you must do a full

purchase of CS4.

Any bets that we will start to see postings on Oct 16 from people claiming that Adobe is unfair for not telling them this sooner?

8. 7 was the last non-CS version.

You can always check in "Help > About" in most programs.

That is true of ALL software (and hardware!) forums I've seen

People who are happy with their product usually don't go to support forums

People who are UNhappy find a place to ask questions and/or complain

That is just the way things usually work

And I remember when you couldn't set ppi/res higher than 266. We still have a few product pictures that haven't been updated that are 266 res.

In a test today, I found that you can still get an upgrade from Photoshop 7 to CS4, if you phone your order and get the right sales rep. If you try to order online or through a chat with the wrong sales rep they will deny the availability of an upgrade.

The sales rep I spoke with told me the release/upgrade was rushed through, so you are likely to find conflicting information from various reps.

Adobe seems to have lost the product registrations of some Photoshop 7 users, so those users were not informed of the upgrade deadline. A posting in the Adobe forums 11 days before a deadline is not sufficient notification. Some of us have to work for a living and don't hang out in the forums every day.

That won't last long.

I have Adobe Illustrator 7.0, we recently reformatted our hard drive due to viruses in our computer. Unfortunately I have lost my serial number for my Adobe Illustrator to reload it.
Adobe no longer supports Illustrator 7.0
Can you help me?

If you registered it, then Adobe would have a record. If not, you're
pretty much out of luck.

It was a bait and switch. I was very specific when I told "Brett" that I wanted to upgrade from Photoshop 7 to CS4. He said "great, the upgrade is only $199." I even asked him again at the end of our conversation if the upgrade path was valid. He said yes. Now that I've paid for the upgrade to CS4, Adobe is telling me I cannot upgrade from PS7. I have to return the upgrade for a full version at $500 more.

Do not believe anything an Adobe sales rep tells you. Adobe does not stand behind them.

Roger - contact customer support, tell them what happened. They should arrange for you to return your upgrade and get you a refund.

Outsourcing - what more can I say?

as of today (10/29/08) amazon seems to have a few copies of cs3 upgrade left. version 7 users who want to stay legit and in the upgrade path should look there.

(WARNING: do NOT buy from amazon resellers, these are often pirated copies that will not pass upgrade/registration or activation muster! buy only from amazon when you can click "Add to Shopping Cart" not "See all buying options"!!!)

cs3 standard upgrade windows ($196)

Given that this thread is now attracting nothing but spam and the fact that CS4 has been out for a couple of months, I'm going to let this one die a natural death.
