I would like to upgrade my PS CS2 to CS6, but don't see that option (only CS3 or higher).  Can anyone help?

    Sorry, it's not possible to upgrade from CS2 to CS6. CS2 is too old.

    Unfortunately you must pay full price.

    Only CS5/CS5.5 qualifies to upgrade to CS6.

    A temporary dispensation is permitted by Adobe for CS3 and CS4 users to upgrade to CS6 until Dec 31, 2012. After that date, they also pay full price.

    Adobe has changed the upgrade rules with CS6 - to a "one-version-back" policy - so that only those users with the most current version can upgrade. Everyone else pays full price. i.e. no more version skipping.

    You cannot upgrade from CS2 to CS6 which is way too many versions away. You need to purchase the Full version.

    Only till Dec 31, 2012, you can upgrade from CS3 to CS6. After that, the upgrade to CS6 is available only from CS4, CS5 and CS5.5..
