My company is using Illustrator CS right now and doesn't want to make the jump to the Cloud yet.  they would rather get an update to the CS.  What is the best upgrade that isn't going to have issues and they will still be able to access their files.  Also, They are currently on XP professional and will soon make the leap to Windows 7.  Are these compatible? 

Let me know what is the best option to the CS.  I'm not having any luck finding the CS3, CS4 is really expensive and I can get CS6 at a decent price.

Thank you!

    the only illustrator cs update available is for the japanese version, http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=27&platform=Windows

    i'm not sure how to answer your questions because it's not clear what you're seeking in an upgrade nor what issues you are concerned about.   i can say is that illustrator cs6 is compatible with win xp and win 7 so if you want cs6, get it.

    We are looking to update our current Illustrator to a version that will work with our system without having to go to the Cloud.  In order to go to the Cloud you have to have CS3 or higher which I found out we don't.  I can't find a version of CS3 available so I wondered if CS4, CS5 or CS6 even would work.

    update is not the same as upgrade.

    you cannot update any adobe cs product to cs2,cs3,cs4 etc including illustrator.

    you don't need cs3 or better to use cc, but you do need cs3 or better to get upgrade pricing.

    i'm still not sure what you're asking when you state, "..i wondered if cs4, cs5 or cs6 even would work".  would they work to do what?

    are you asking if you can upgrade from cs to cs3 or better?  if so, the answer is no.  adobe is no longer offering any of its creative suite products prior to cs6 for sale, upgrade or otherwise.

    but why are you changing from illustrator cs?  what do you need in an upgrade?
