Selling an Old version of Photoshop

Buried in the EULA are the parameters to sell an older version of Photoshop (or any CS product).  Included in these requirements is a little line that says you must have the original proof of purchase, which, if it was bought at a brick and mortar store, will be the cash register receipt.  Well, I bought CS3 five years ago from Best Buy.  Now that I have bought CS6 for Apple, I don't need the older version, which is still perfectly usable and a wonderful product.  But I do not have the cash register receipt.  Therefore, per the EULA, I cannot sell this copy of photoshop to another without that piece of paper.
Does anyone know how this can be handled at this point, or am I screwed?  I love photoshop, but Adobe is pretty awful in terms of customer care.  I don't even know if I can donate it to a school, my family or anyone else.  Any ideas?
Thanks

Well, that would have been good advice 6 years ago.  I did spend an hour with them on the phone and finally did get a way to get a release of the registration so that a purchaser can get it fully activated in his name.  Not easy and not a "user friendly" process.   They just don't want new buyers to buy old software, that does not seem to be the Adobe way.  I realize steps against piracy need to be taken and enforced, however, this could be accomplished in a more neighborly manner.

Meanwhile, I'm down to 13 days till it stops working due to not being activated. HELP?  I really need to continue using this product for my home business.It works fine not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 more days if I don't get it activated, and none of the activation methods they list seem to work.

  • I have an old version of Photoshop CS2 which I purchased in discs and want to install on my new computer but don't have the  discs can I copy it from my old laptop?

    Is there anyway to install my old version of Photoshop CS2 onto my new mac without the discs?

    Adobe took down their old Activation servers so you can not activate installing CS2 from your CD.  Adobe made available a new download of CS2 that uses their new Activation servers for activation their old CS2 customers can download and install.

  • Can I sell old versions of photoshop?

    Is it possible to sell old versions of photoshop I've purchased over the years? I'm assuming I'd need to notify Adobe regarding license #, etc..

    Hello bellagonna,
    best would be you will be oriented at Transfer an Adobe product license >>> "Requirements to transfer a license" and "License transfer process" and so it shouldn't be a problem.

  • I currently have an old version of Photoshop - CS, is it possible to upgrade?

    I currently have an old version of Photoshop - CS, is it possible to upgrade to a newer version? It keeps crashing on my new Mac (Macbook Pro 2GHz Intel Core i7 running OSX version 10.6.8) and I don't use photoshop that much (probably once per month to design gig flyers) so I cannot justify spending $1,168 for the current version of CS6. I don't want to try and learn a new product either, I just want to be able to use Photoshop without it crashing. Please help!

    From CS - CS6, there is no upgrade option possible. The last version that Adobe lets you upgrade from is CS3 (that too, till December 2012). Adobe usually supports current minus 2 versions for upgrade support.
    In your case, you should buy a full version - yes I know it is expensive and having said that you need it only once a month, I don't know what to advice here.
    Regarding CS not running on 10.6.8, are you getting any specific error codes/ numbers/ crash reports? If so, can you please post that here so we can see what may be going wrong?
    While I doubt CS will work on OS 10.4 or 10.5+ (I've never used it), I can't say it never will work either. The only way to tell is to see a crash report to see what is going wrong.

  • Transfer of albums from old version of photoshop to a newer

    I have used version 4.0 of Photoshop elements previously. I have saved a copy of my old hard disk, including the installation of Photoshop 4.0, on an external hard disk drive. I would like to transfer my albums, tags etc from my old version of Photoshop to my new Photoshop 9.0 on my new computer. How can I do that? Photshop 9.0 was pre-installed on my new computer before delivery to me.

      The normal method is to use the back-up and restore facility built into Elements. That is different to making a copy of everything. However the PSE4 database is different to the PSE9 database. If your old computer is still working it will probably be easier to install a copy of PSE9; then convert the old catalog to the PSE9 version. Then make a PSE9 back-up and use the TLY file within it to restore everything on to the new computer.

  • I'm about to buy an iMac and am looking to put an old version of photoshop on it. How far back would be compatible EG Photoshop CS2?

    Old version of photoshop compatible with new iMac?

    Well,
    If you are a NOT regular and expert Photoshop user, the you really do not need full Photoshop.
    As has been stated you can use Photoshop Elements OR Pixelmator, then use LemkeSoft's Graphic Converter to do CMYK conversion.
    Graphic Converter is not that expensive an app to add to your arsenal of Mac graphic/art tools.
    These two graphics apps are still cheaper together than either an upgrade version of Photoshop CS3 OR much, MUCH cheaper than a full version of Photoshop.
    http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/
    Also, what type of digital art do you do? Do you work more with images or are you a digital painter?
    You could look at Painter 5 Essentials or full version of Painter which is my painting app of choice which is a lot cheaper than newer versions of full Photoshop and has CMYK support and, also, has the ability to integrate images into its application and has layers, also.
    It's pricey, but it is still cheaper than full versions of Photoshop.
    You can look at these, as well and give yourself some other options.

  • How do I install old version of Photoshop LE?

    I have an old version of Photoshop LE (and PageMaker 6.5). It has always re-installed as I have purchased new computers over the years until now. Can Adobe send me an update of some sort so this program will work? I hate to have to buy it again!

    i don't think there's anything to replace pagemaker.
