Upgrading Flash via a "roundabout" route.
( Couldn't really find a more approriate forum for this one, move at will )
I've been known to make a few banners, I have a legal version Flash 5 ( win ), I bought it off Ebay, it consists of a printed CD and a serial number printed in a small font on a piece of paper.
Not long ago I came across this site that offers an upgrade to Flash 8 which then entitles the purchaser to get in touch with Adobe to get a free upgrade to Flash CS3 ( before 25 June 2007 ) , all for the price of 400 euro ( 450 $US or so ).
This price I could almost justify. I can quite happily make my banners in Flash 5, but it would be nice nice to enter the 21st century at some stage.
This would probably be the last chance to upgrade from Flash 5 as CS3, for example, is only available as an upgrade from MX and onwards, I believe.
I am assuming that the upgrade to Flash 8 would work, I have no reason to believe otherwise, and I assume the retailer is being honest about the free upgrade to Flash CS3, but then comes my predicament....
.... I want to crossover to Mac, and run Flash CS3 on a MacBook.
When should I attempt the crossover? I can't see an upgrade from Win Flash 5 to Mac Flash 8 going very smoothly.
What do you people think Adobe would say if I rang them and said I just bought a copy of Win Flash 8 and would like to apply for my free upgrade to Flash CS3, and, er, can you make that a Mac version please?
Thanks in advance.
