Loading Illustrator 10 upgrade w/out 9

[Dave_Schaefer@adobeforums.com]

I just got a new G5 and I'm reloading software. I have Illustrator 9 along with the 10 upgrade. I don't want to have to load 9 in order to get the upgrade to load. There used to be the option of using a key combo while clicking on the eye of Venus on the opening load screen to bypass the search for a previous version and jump right to the serial number input screen, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Anyone know anything to help out?

Just a recommendation... It's a good idea to keep 9 available to you somewhere if you ever need to deal with legacy files. CS is not able to adequately save files as editable AI9 files due to the major differences in the text engine. You may aleady have taken this into consideration and it won't affect your situation, but if not, check around the forum on the subjects of the text engine and saving as older versions.
