Starting with Photoshop CS6, which is anticipated to ship in 2012, Adobe will be enforcing a new upgrade policy

For those of you that use Photoshop but do not own CS5
If you thinking about upgrading from CS2,3,4 to CS6 please note that Adobe's upgrade policy is about to change...

The existing policy for upgrades allows you to purchase the newest version at the upgrade price if you up to three major releases back! This will be no more, now the upgrade price will only be available if you own the previous release!

You might want to consider taking advantage of their 20% off on upgrades now and get CS5 if you own older versions...

Adobe revamps upgrade policy for Photoshop CS6, other CS6 applications
Saturday, November 12, 2011 | by Rob Galbraith
Starting with Photoshop CS6, which is anticipated to ship in 2012, Adobe will be enforcing a new upgrade policy. The existing practice is to allow customers to purchase the newest version at the upgrade price if they own an existing version up to three major releases back.

To upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or any other Creative Suite 6 application at the upgrade price, however, you will need to own a license to the previous major release (in this case, CS5, CS5.1 and CS5.5 are all considered to be the same version). Earlier major version releases will not be eligible for upgrade pricing.
For more information on the new upgrade policy, the 20% discount available on existing upgrades through the end of the year as well as Adobe's subscription plan alternative, see the following articles:
