Title: Will Anyone Other Than Adobe Ever Sell the Upgrade to Photoshop CS6?
Post by: Doug Fisher on July 15, 2012, 11:58:29 am

I am curious if anyone knows if Adobe will ever let third party vendors like Amazon sell the upgrade package (e.g. CS5 to CS6)?  So far, I only see it available directly from Adobe.  Is this just a short-term thing so Adobe can grab the bulk of upgraders before finally releasing the upgrade to other sales channels or has Adobe decided to permanently channel all upgrade through their own sales channel?

I don't know about the USA, but Amazon.co.uk sells the upgrade, so it doesn't seem to be a worldwide issue.

Maybe its their way to prevent software piracy. If so, I'd expect them to continue to offer upgrades exclusively through Adobe.
