I have CS3 for Windows XP.  My XP machine is now dead.  Can I buy CS4 upgrade version for Windows 7 and install it without CS3 running?

    Yes. You just install the CS4 upgrade, enter your CS4 upgrade serial number then enter your CS3 serial number when prompted.

    However, where are you planning to buy the CS4 upgrade version from? It is long superseded and Adobe has not sold it for years.

    If you're intending to buy the CS4 upgrade online from eBay or similar, there's a strong chance that it will be a pirated copy and that the CS4 serial number will not work.
