upgrade to cs2 from elements for $299

I came across this thread at dpreview. Apparently microtek is working with adobe and offering to upgrade the elements that came with their scanners to cs2 for $299. It seems some folks are using other elements serial numbers that they didn't necessarily get with a mircrotek purchase and getting cs2 for $299. I'm going to try this. I can't pass up that price. I think you access the promo through this link: http://store.adobe.com …icrotek&sourcec​ode=112300

Just used my serial number for elements that shipped with my 20D..... and i'm happy to report NO PROBLEMS! i'm totally stoked that it works for Canadians too!

There is OEM website where u can get CS2 for about $70 USD. I can't remember the site. Just google it. I have had no problems with it.. Full fucntion

If you didn't buy the machine on which the OEM software was originally installed, you don't have a legal copy. It may work, for now, but it remains a pirated copy.

Be very wary of deals that are "too good to be true." In many cases the software includes malware that will end up costing you a lot more in the long run than a legal copy of the software ever would.

Websites advertising Adobe OEM software are usually selling pirated software. I don't believe there is such a thing as an OEM version of Photoshop CS2 anyway; I've never come across a computer sold with Photoshop CS2 pre-installed.
