Unsure what to download to reinstall CS6

Hi there, I'm hoping someone can help me.

At work we have CS5.5 Design Premium and, as an upgrade, CS6 Design and Web Premium, both store bought - boxes, DVDs, etc.

The PC this was installed on has failed and so I have to reinstall it. However, i cannot find the DVDs. I do have both serial numbers.

Can I just download CS6 and use the CS6 upgrade serial, or do I first need to download 5.5 and install, then 6 and reinstall?

Thank you

Kevin

    correct.  make sure to give them in the correct order.

    it will probably ask your for your cs6 serial first and then prompt you for your cs5.5 serial.

    you only need the cs6 install files (and both cs5.5. and cs6 serial numbers).

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html

    and activate with your serial.

    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

    Thanks, I'm d/l CS6 right now (4.5gb) so I guess it'll ask for both serials?

    cheers!
