That is the case when switching operating systems.

From what you are saying your CS5 was an upgrade from CS3.
Per the license you have to retain the prior version or have the serial 
number available if installing an upgrade on a fresh machine. When I 
upgraded from CS3 to CS5 on this iMac when it was new, I had no version 
of PS installed. That meant as part of the upgrade install process I 
was required to enter the CS3 serial number. When I upgraded to CS6 I 
did not have to do this as the prior version was installed.

I currently have CS2 on a "Goose-Neck" iMac & a "White" iBook, CS3 on a 
G4 PowerBookPro, CS5 + CS6 on my MBP & this iMac.
