Subject: [Leica] PS CS3 upgrade problem

Never mind, please ignore. I found the problem. The solution, however,  
may be of interest to others. When you go to Help...System Info in  
Photoshop, the serial number shown does not include the last four  
digits. No wonder CS3 was not accepting my CS2 serial number!

I did find the correct serial number by logging into Adobe with all 4  
accounts I have created over the years, until I found my old order for  
CS2, which contained the correct serial no.
