John,
You should be able to remove the older versions on an existing installation
with no issues. When CS6 comes out you should be able to do a clean install
of the most recent version with the upgrade key. When you enter that key you
will be prompted for the underlying keys that justify your upgrade status.
There shouldn't be a need to do installs of each prior version as the
programs do not rely on past components to operate, it's just about the key
to unlock the program.
This is how it worked for my install of CS3 until I moved to CS5 Design
Standard. In my case when I installed CS3 I was prompted for my CS2 and
version 6 keys.

Subject: [OM] upgrading Photoshop
Here's a situation.
One buys and installs the full version of Photoshop CS3.
The "upgrade to CS4" version is subsequently installed it being a condition
for CS4 to work that one has a prior full version installed.
At this point both CS3 and CS4 both work in their individual entirety.
The "upgrade to CS5" version is subsequently installed again relying on a
previous full version.
Now, all three versions work.
QUESTION ..... can one safely remove both the CS3 and CS4 versions and still
have CS5 working to its full extent?
QUESTION ..... If and when the "upgrade to CS6" comes out would that version
be loadable if only the CS5 version was installed OR would all the prior
versions still have to be installed ?
