Can I upgrade Photoshop CS6 from standard to extended without reinstalling? [LOCKED]

Hello,

 

I have Photoshop CS6 Standard already installed on my Mac (OS 10.8). My employer has just purchased the extended version for me and I would like to upgrade. I have a valid serial number to do this.

 

I understand that the software is the same and depending on the serial number it can unlock the extended portion of CS6. Is there any way of upgrading the installed version to extended by re-intering the new serial number or should I just install a second copy of PS CS6 and have 2 PS CS6 (one standard and one extended)?

 

Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

Thank you.

How much does it cost to purchase the Extended version for CS6? and does Adobe sell it here?
