You don’t have to. I still have versions 1.x, 4.x, 6.x and 7.x all living happily together on the same hard drive.
If your future holds the possibility of working with images of any bank notes though, you’ll want to keep Photoshop 7 on your hard drive.
I would be sure that the new version is correctly installed and functioning properly before deep-sixing the old PS. Remember that some of your third-party filters, plug-ins, scanner drivers, etc. may not be compatible with the new PS and will require you to download or purchase the upgrade.
BTW, any particular reason you did not buy just the PS upgrade? Did you purchase the CS Suite?
Just do a forum search on Digimarc currency counterfeiting.
It was discussed here ad nauseam when Photoshop 8 came out and it was discovered you can’t open files containing scanned images of certain bills, US and otherwise.
Just try scanning one of the NEW $20 or $100 bills yourself.
Any bill that doesn’t have the necessary pattern arrangement for Digimarc’s scheme to work can be scanned. As far as US currency goes, only the NEW $20 and $100 bills have that protection. You can freely scan any other denomination.
It’s not nailed to its perch. It’s not a passé Polly. It’s merely a Norwegian blue, pining for its long lost love.

….but I do agree that Adobe has gone a bit overboard with the prohibition of scanning currency. If someone really wanted to do that, they would find a way. And it would be easier than scanning parrots.
