    Default Upgrading Illustrator 4.1 to Illustrator CS

    I'm sure this is way beyond the scope of anyone but Adobe Tech Support but I thought I'd ask anyway.

    Quite a while ago I purchased a copy of Illustrator 4.1. Since that time my tasks have strayed from graphic design. I've recently gotten into a situation where I need to do some design work, so I bought the upgrade version of Illustrator CS since it said I could upgrade from version 10 or earlier of Illustrator.

    The problem is that when I try to install the software it only lists versions back to 7.0 from which I can upgrade.

    Anyone tried to do this before or have any advice on this. I realize that an upgrade from 4.1 to CS seems pretty ludicrous but according to Adobe's statements this is legal.

    Mike,

    From what I know of these things, the upgrade should be well within the realm of possibility. You will, however, need to contact Adobe about it.
