Hello Esteemed Group!
I need advice for installing a Photoshop 7.0 upgrade into my eMac. I have a 4.0 version running in Classic that I installed about 4 years ago into a previous Powermac. It worked great then and I just did a direct transfer into the eMac by copying folders into another hard drive, then into the new machine. It presently works great in Classic. The downside is that I no longer have the original CD from Photoshop 4.0, but some kind of serial # does appear in the ‘get info’ window (is this the Serial #?)
Now the original shrinkwrapped 7.0 upgrade arrives and I try to intall it. I go through the installation steps, new serial # and all, then the new program seeks out the older 4.0 with which to connect. It can’t find it.
" a qualifying version of Photoshop was not detected….." I then manually direct it though another option window to my main 4.0 program. the message I get is: "The Photoshop application you selected does not qualify for this upgrade…."
I thought that the 7.0 upgrade worked with 4.0 , did I just waste $$$ or am I missing somthing?
Your help and advice would be VERY appreciated!
