Student Upgrade price for ID CS4

Does anyone know the price for the student upgrade of ID CS4? On the web, it only has the full for $199.
I belive the Adobe sales is closed at this time and I thought maybe someone would know right off the bat.

Confirmed. For student / academic versions, the only upgrades are to full versions. There are
no upgrades from one student / academic version to the next student / academic version of the product. These versions are designed to assist students learning to use the products and graphic arts, giving them a fairly economical entry into the product line after which point, they would upgrade to the next commercial version. The student / academic prices even including the first upgrade to a commercial version are quite advantageous compared to initially purchasing a commercial version. The student / academic versions are
not designed to cater to perpetual students. As Bob notes, there is a difference between volume academic licenses and individual shrink-wrapped student / academic (or educational) versions. Unfortunately, the nomenclatures, especially across geographies, is not always very consistent.

Where is the upgrade prices for education edition?

I purchased a student edition of CS 4 Premium in early 2010. I am unable to find anything on the Adobe store of where I can upgrade this to CS 5.5 Premium for student or teacher edition. Instead, I only see that I can purchase another student edition for $449.00. But to upgrade CS 4 to CS 5.5 it is $649.00? Why does it cost more to upgrade? Is there not a upgrade price for student or teacher edition? Not finding it anywhere.

This pricing with Adobe is really upsetting me. They say the disadvantage to getting an education version of Creative Suite is that you aren't offered the upgrade pricing discount that normal customers get, you have to buy a new version each time you want one. OK, lets take a look at their product page. Someone upgrading CS5 Design Standard to 5.5 Standard has to pay $299, that's what they get for being a loyal customer. OK, now a student or teacher buying a brand new, non-upgrade, CS5.5 Design Standard has to pay......$299. Wait, what? A loyal repeat customer pays the same amount for the same product as someone who's never been with adobe before but is a student or teacher? That's great for students and teachers but it's kind of a slap in the face to loyal customers. Also, when you look at it, it's not a disadvantage at all to get the educational version like they say. CS5 to CS5.5 is the smallest upgrade and it's the same cost as a student or teacher would pay for a brand new version of CS5.5. So essentially they are upgrading for the same price.

Is there a deadline to get the $79 upgrade price for LR4?

I'm currently running LR3.6, but its on a 4+ year old HP Pavilion with an AMD Althlon 64 X2 running WinXP. Obviously I need to upgrade to Windows7 before upgrading to LR4, but from what I'm reading, I need to upgrade my hardware too (its past time anyway). Unfortunately, its probably going to be a few months before I'll be able to spring for a new machine, so I'm wondering if there is a deadline to get the $79 upgrade price for LR4. If so, I might need to buy it before the deadline, even though I don't have a machine I can run it on yet.

No, the $79 price for the upgrqade is based on the new pricing of LR4...aside from some sort of special promo at some point in the future, I'm pretty sure the new price is the normal price.

APPLE: We Need An Upgrade Price for Logic Pro X!!!

There has always been an Upgrade path for Logic Pro. Where is it???

I've been using Logic since it was Notator 2.5 as well, upgrading every time, and I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with their being no upgrade price.
Reasons?
1. Even at the full price, Logic X is cheaper than any ProTools upgrade price.
2. It is a ridiculously powerful piece of software which can do things I was only dreaming of being able to do 20 years ago. Frankly I think $200/£139 is astonishingly good value for what it can do.
Perhaps people should stop convincing themselves that software manufacturers somehow 'owe them' just because they're long-term users? Apple has delivered a piece of professional level software at a remarkable price - for that I'm actually pretty thankful!
Nobody ever said doing professional quality audio was cheap.

THIS is why there is no upgrade price for Logic Pro X

Because it's time for people stop stop convincing themselves that software manufacturers somehow 'owe them', just because they've used previous versions.
I've been using Logic in its various forms since 1995 - that's 18 years, kids - upgrading every time, and I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with their being no upgrade price.
Reasons?
1. At the full price, Logic X is markedly cheaper than any ProTools upgrade.
2. It is a very powerful piece of software which can do things I could only dream of being able to do - or afford to do - for many, many years.*
Apple has delivered a piece of powerful, professional level audio production software at the remarkable price of just $200/£139.
Just two days ago people were grizzling about "We haven't seen an upgrade to Logic for years. Has Apple forgotten about it?" Well here it is. And you're still moaning!
Nobody ever said doing professional quality audio was cheap, so for goodness sake let's stop the pathetic 'world owes me a living' snivelling.
If you think it's too much, take up knitting, train spotting/railfanning or something.
No connection with Apple, just a longterm user who remembers 'the bad old days' only too well and hates the constant whinging about everything!!
* How many of the moaners actually remember splicing tape or endless analogue bounces to get just 16 or 20 tracks, noticeably losing quality every time?

Absolutely - I've posted the text below in a couple of other threads, but it serves to reinforce your point....
The full price of Logic Pro was reduced during the life of Logic Pro 9 to be only a fraction of the original price. Thus, the full price today is still cheaper than the old model for upgrade prices. Net result - just buying the new version when one comes out (e.g. Logic Pro X) costs about the same, if not less than upgrades did in the past, but with the added bonus that if you're a new customer, you pay a far cheaper price first time round.
Everyone's a winner!
Logic Pro used to cost... $999 After Apple purchased it the price was reduced to $499, once it moved to the App Store the price was reduced to 1/5th of it's original cost at $199... so yes, stop the silly complaining.
I've invested thousands in Logic over the years.
However, I can look at it from a different perspective:
The price whining is a natural development from Apple removing the copy protection, reducing the price and promoting Logic as and upgrade to Garageband. You now have a whole new group of users, many who have never used a DAW and have little respect for the development of this software through the years or the things we used to do as engineers/musicians.... To amateurs the $199 upgrade price is ridiculously expensive to the "entitled" attitudes prevalent today. The fact that Apple isn't offering this upgrade at $50 is reason for storming the gates.
So, place the blame for the whining not so much on the users but on Apple for setting up the conditions that made it possible.

Upgrade price for logic X from logic 9

Hi guys.
I just Bought Logic 9 3 Months ago.
Since i knew where were no news about logic x, no release date or such i expected it to be out at least a year from the time i'd buy it.
Now the new version came out of the blue and i just realized that i threw my money for nothing.
Because of this i think i deserve to get the new logic for free or at least a decent discount price on it.
is there a mail or something that i could contact someone from apple?
Thanks in advance.
Alex.

Fuzz...
I would use the above links to try v.s. MAS feedback.
Try explaining that you just bought it (if you did), the window of time will be key here.
This is how all things work in our economy/market, you woudln't buy a new Car then 2 months later the new model comes out, and go screaming at them for a refund or upgrade. It's just business. If LX hadn't just came out, would you still want your money back for L9? Does it not perform the job/function you bought it for?
The absolute best thing, especially in the world of computers/software, is to research the release history, comments/opinions and so forth, and you can generally get an idea of a new version/products surfacing. Example: Logic X this year was a no-brainer by using Wikipedia, Macrumors, Comments from Apple themselves etc.
As for demanding your rights, you absolutley can demand and will/should have that respect from Apple, read the licenesing and purchasing info, I'm sure your rights haven't been violated, but If they have, then you have an easy case, simply document them and discuss with Apple (provide clear precise docuementation and be professional). Again, if they haven't been violated, then you need to approach it differently (IMHO).
Please don't let the shiny new object obscure your vision, there will be a long road of patches/updates, plugins that are only 32bit being converted to 64bit etc. etc. etc. Honestly, you might want to really look at keeping 9.x for that possibly ugly transition. While 9 still has issues lingering, it's very very stable and training, books, etc. exist right now. However, with that being said, if you don't have any 32bit plugs, you purchased 9 within a resonable timeframe before X came out, then yes, I would agree, try to get the new one.
Example: A few months ago, I purchased the iRig Mini Keyboard while under the special where the more people buy, the more software you get. I got all the iK VI's!!! However, with LX, I can't use any of them. Thankfully, I have L9! There is work in progress to bring iK's SampleTank 3 out soon as 64bit, which will supposedly be able to read all the others sounds etc., but.....progress can be a pain. This is why I decided NOT to purchase LX until I see the updated plugs and at least the 1st patch from Apple, until then I can happily keep playing/tracking my VI's etc. I'm not saying this is your case too, just saying from my perspective.
As for upgrade price: IMHO, the main folks that should get that are the ones that purchased the boxed copies of 9 studio, I know people that purchased it for $500.00 just before MAS released it for $199.00, this was the real kick in the *****. The normal past upgrade pricing was $99.00 (i think) from one to another, maybe that's the key here?
Anyway, that's just my two cents.

Is there an upgrade price for Lightroom 6

Past versions of LR offered an upgrade price but I haven't found such a price for LR6. I wanted to contact Customer Service by eMail as I've already purchased LR and thought I'd "appeal" my issue but I cannot find a customer service eMail address. Any thoughts or help on this?

the upgrade is $79 US Dollars
You need to have a valid serial number from an earlier version of Lightroom
Purchase the upgrade at Products, scroll down to Lightroom 6, click on Buy, select Upgrade instead of Full

Or if apple would work around this some way or another?

If you bought Logic 9 less than a month ago then Apple will most likely refund you so that you can buy Logic X instead.
The full (only) price of Logic X is as staed on the App Store. This price (whether people agree or disagree, like it or not like it) is still less than any upgrade price for any other DAW.
A lot of people here are saying they bought Logic 9 6 months or a year ago and want a cheaper price. For me, I started on Logic 5.5. Logic 6, you could pay an upgrade price that was way over what the full app is now but you had to add costs as things like Space Designer were extra. Their serial numbers, once purchased, got added to you XS Key, which was a dongle that never got hacked in 6 and a half years.
Apple, on acquiring Emagic, dropped the price from $1000 to $499, included all the things you had to pay extra for then dropped the price to what it is now once they went over to the App Store. They also dropped the un-cracked dongle.
So myself and a lot of other people here went 5.5 to 6 (added the goodies that were extra) to 7 to 8 and to 9. When there was an upgrade price, the price was around what the app is now.
I'm amazed at how many people see this as a full price and want money off whereas in reality a complete piece of softwaser is being offered for an upgrade price.
My first paragraph will answer your question and you probably won't care about the rest of the post. $199 or £139 IS an upgrade price.

CS5 Student Upgrade

Hi, does anyone know if there is a student upgrade price too, or just a student price to buy design premium in its entirity?
Also, is there a number I can call to ask about a free update since I just bought CS4?

Hi, Mr. Isaacs. Great of you, as Adobe Systems' famed principal engineer, to have replied to this question. You might have noticed that there are a number of other similar posts asking about various CS5 student upgrades elsewhere on the Adobe Forums. Of course you're not in marketing and don't set pricing, and I understand the company's logic as you state it to a point, but the logic seems incomplete. My son, who's now in his first year at an arts high school and for several years has been taking and will continue to take design and publishing courses, received his copy of CS4 Design Premium's student edition for Christmas. (Santa saved like crazy all year.) He will be a student, most probably, for the next 10 years, going through postgraduate. Given Adobe's usual 18-/24-month release cycle, it's also probable that he will see not only CS5 but also CS6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 come out before he is no longer a student. Given Adobe's constant re-engineering his CS4 will have become woefully outdated for new learning purposes in less than half that time. So you might see why I say "incomplete"--the idea that a student would buy a student version, and a couple years later would no longer be a student, is sometimes or even often not the case. On the other hand, I'm guessing Adobe has considerable trouble with professional (non-student) use of these versions, and given the steep discount Adobe already provides on the full student versions asking for upgrade pricing for students might seem a bit of the fisherman's wife. But if Adobe does want students to keep at or near the cutting edge in digital design, and if there might be some profit for Adobe if students were able to upgrade with each or every other new version rather than, because of cost, staying with the same antique version they've been using for years, perhaps Adobe might consider introducing student upgrade pricing. Thanks so much! Kim p.s. You might show off your gorgeous Garamond by adding it to the Forum font dropdown.

Upgrade price to CS6?

I purchased Photoshop CS5 Extended (Student & Teacher edition) in September 2011 and I'm interested in upgrading to CS6 when it comes out. I know that recent purchases have a free upgrade to CS6 (I bought Dreamweaver during this recent timeframe that will be upgraded), but I can't seem to find anywhere an upgrade price for Student and Teacher editions. I'm curious to know what the upgrade or discount price would be to get CS6 as a student, since it seems ridiculous to pay for another full student/teacher version for something I've only had for such a short time. If there isn't a student upgrade price to CS6, is there any way I could take my Dreamweaver upgrade and put it towards a Photoshop upgrade instead?
Thank you.

That's right.
There's been a (low key) shift in purchasing policy from earlier CS versions.
The standalone product > Suite upgrade path has been removed.
From the CS6 FAQ
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/photoshop/faq.html
What is Adobe's upgrade policy for Creative Suite 6?
Adobe allows upgrades to CS6 individual products and suite editions from one version back (which in this case is CS5 and CS5.5, due to the interim CS5.5 release). For example, if you have a validly licensed copy of Photoshop CS5, you can upgrade to Photoshop CS6 at the upgrade price. Owners of individual products are not eligible to upgrade to suite editions.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#purchasing-policy
What is Adobe's upgrade policy for Creative Suite 6?
Owners of a CS5 or CS5.5 suite edition qualify for upgrade pricing to a CS6 suite edition. Owners of an individual CS5 or CS5.5 product qualify for upgrade pricing to the same product but not to a suite edition. Any version earlier than CS5 will not be eligible for upgrade pricing.

Upgrade Price Speculations Production Premium CS5.5 to CS6?

Anyone have an idea of the cost to upgrade from Production Premium CS5.5 to CS6? Right now you can buy the updgrade from CS5 to CS5.5 for $399 + 10% off until the 15th. If you buy the CS5 to CS5.5 upgrade now, you get CS6 for free. Wonder if buying the CS5 to CS5.5 upgrade with a free copy of CS6 for $360 will be cheaper than the CS5.5 to CS6 upgrade. If you are still on CS5, seems like a not brainer. Thoughts?

Yes, maybe...maybe not? Who knows? Well...besides Adobe. And maybe Dave, but he's not interested in discussing anything today. And this is really more appropriate to the Lounge anyway.
BUT - I like your question, and I want to try to give you some advice if I can so here goes.
You're likely to see that the upgrade price for the boxed/download version of Production Premium CS6 isn't much different than what you're seeing now for the intermediate "upgrade now, save later" type offers.
For me, I'm holding on to see what the final pricing and layout is for Creative Cloud. Probably looking at that costing me a bit more over the short run based on my current Adobe purchasing history, but there's supposed to be quite a bit of extra goodness in there so probably worthwhile.
If you have a money back guarantee wherever you're purchasing, you can always buy now, don't open it, then return it in a week or so if pricing is announced and it makes a difference.
If you think you'd have a use for the Creative Cloud, you may want to wait. The preliminary pricing listed by Adobe is $49/month for annual subscribers. Maybe it'll be discounted for 1-year if you already own CS5 or CS5.5 versions of one of the suites. Dunno. Probably more info within the next 7 days.

Can i Upgrade CS student to CS4 for the upgrade price???

I have Creative Suite 1 standard(student edition). I want to upgrade to CS4 premium (orig or student). Can I purchase it for the upgrade price or do i have to pay full???

The academic versions can be upgraded to commercial versions. There are
no academic upgrades since the price is already very low.

Which plan is best for Student upgrading from CS4?

I'm a student who has previously purchased CS4 design premium. I want to upgrade to Adobe CC but I'm not sure which plan will give more savings in the long term. The student plan is cheapest but only for the first year, after that the terms states it will revert back to the "then standard price"?. The individual plan for previous CS owners is also slightly cheaper than the current standard pricing but there is no time limit. So which subscription plan is better?Which

Hi Bev,
Thanks for your reply. I did not see the individual offer for Adobe CC also
reverts back to the standard price after one year (not stated clearly in
the terms).
In that case, the student version would be best for me. Can I just upgrade
from my current CS4 student version now? I've already downloaded the trial
for Photoshop and Illustrator. Or do I need to submit all my student docs
again to qualify?
Thanks & Regards

There are no upgrades for student editions. You simply buy a fresh license at the discounted price.
