Delete activated Photoshop?

<p>Hi. I started with PS 6 and upgraded to CS2 and then upgraded to CS3. Can I delete PS 6? Can I deactivate CS2 and delete it?</p>

<p>yes, yes and yes : )</p>

<p>Thanks, Patrick.</p>

<p>Make sure you check remove product key. You can transfer your title to someone else if you don't want them anymore, by getting the right forms from Adobe. You may even be able to give them to a charity for a tax right off. You would have to check that out yourself.</p>

<p>Thanks, Ray.</p>

<p>Here with Photostyler I used a PC; with Photoshop I started with a Mac and went to a PC with version 2.5.<br>

I usually ALWAYS do not blow away older versions for several reasons.<br>

It helps with teaching Photoshop; others do not always have the version of the day.<br>

It also allows opening older file variants from customers that on super rare occasions will not open witrh newer Photoshop versions.<br>

This is not an issue for most all amateurs; or even most pros who have few folks they deal with.<br>

The actual space required by older version is trivial; in the noise compared to many files I work with.</p>

<p>Photoshop 3 takes up 9 megs;<br>

Photoshop 4 takes up 24 megs;<br>

Photoshop 5.5 takes up 88 megs;<br>

Photoshop 7 takes up 136 megs;<br>

Photoshop CS/8 takes up 183 megs;<br>

Photoshop CS2/takes up 217 megs;<br>

Elements 3 takes up 62 megs;<br>

Illustrator 10 takes up 113 megs on this machine.</p>

<p>The UPDATES alone for CS2 were something like 90 megs.</p>

<p>On another box Photostyler 2 takes up a huge 4.35 megs.</p>

<p>In a strange way it is a good thing that folks get rid of older versions; it means there is more money in opening files that others cannot open! :)The Phase one 35 megapixel scan back's images are 105 megs each; the 50 megapixel's back are about 150 megs; many of my avi ripped movies are about 700 megs each. If HERE I need to do housekeeping; I clean out old movies; bad scans instead of worrying about older photoshop versions which still have a use for me.</p>
