While the new (find an old copy of the app on your hard drive) upgrade method is a bit of a pain, it definitely beats the way Adobe used to handle upgrades. One had to fax/mail a copy of the manual page containing the serial number to the vendor you were purchasing the upgrade from, then you would be sent an upgrade CD/disk.

One way around the new find it on your hard drive routine is the option that Adobe gives you to insert a floppy (I've got a USB Mac, so that's not an option) or a CD-ROM with an older version of the software. (This involves a CD-ROM swap like the old days of floppy swapping to install an app - kinda nostalgic.)The install/upgrade will go fine from there.
