I just purchased a Windows computer running Windows 8, and I want to install on it CS 5. But the CS 5 I have is an upgrade, so it won't install unless I have CS2 (my previous version) already on the computer, and CS2 won't install on Windows 8. What do I do?

You don't need to have CS2 installed.

If the CS5 upgrade installer cannot find an earlier qualifying version installed then it will prompt you to enter the CS2 serial number instead.

Thank you!

When I tried that before it didn't work because I couldn't find the correct Creative Suite in list. I didn't notice you could scroll down.
