When upgrading to PS 7, can I use the previous version 5 upgrade media for product verification or do I need the original full version disk – which, unfortunately, I no longer have?

Craig,

Please post only once, it makes things easier for you and other to follow a topic. I have moved Dave’s reply here and deleted the duplicate message.

Nope, been upgrading for a while and I still have to put in my original version 4 disc. It’s odd, Illustrator does accept one of my upgrade discs, forget which version.

true, but are you starting from an empty disk? i.e. has the full version 4 ever been installed on that system or used to verify the first upgrade installation you installed?

If I have photoshop installed, I don’t have to very my disc. I’m just talking about when I’ve wiped my drive and have to do a fresh install.
