Earlier, when I had to reinstall Photoshop on my PC after problems, the upgrade CD process asked to insert an earlier version. While I had the 4.0 version on my PC, I no longer possesed the CD. I called Adobe, they verified that I had the s/w on my PC and gave me a ‘crack key’ and instructions on how to get around the question. All was well.
Last month I upgraded my PC by removing Win ME and installing Win XP. This required reinstalling all of my apps. While installing Photoshop 6.0 and Acrobat 5.0 I came across the same problem. I tried to reuse the ‘crack key’ but it will not work.
I still have the 6.0 software ‘on the drive’ but it will not work, probably because the registry doesn’t have the necessary data. I have search around but have had no luck. Adobe will not help this time because the product is no longer supported. Not only do I not have the cash to buy the new CS but even if I did, I’d still have the same problem.
I regret that I lost (or tossed) my 4.0 original but I can’t afford to buy the full version of CS. Can anyone help?
Thanks, Mike —
