If I put on my lawyer cap, I'm reading this to say that you qualify for an upgrade to CS6, but you DON'T qualify to skip the current upgrade and try to use it on CS7 or CS8 instead in a couple years.

I called Adobe sales to get clarification on the buy CS5.5 now for $399 and get CS6 for free. They confirmed, and mentioned nothing about future limits to updates. I can't imagine sales would neglect to mention this if they wanted avoid a major uproar. Talk about disassembling trust.

Just seems like lawyer speak to me. But hopefully someone will confirm my thinking on this.

Thanks, James
