Adobe Creative Suite Student activation process?

Hello,
I am taking a web design class soon and I want to buy the Creative Suite student version. I understand you need to prove that you are a student to get the activation process completed. Can someone elaborate on exactly how this process goes?
Once I activate, do they give me a code that I can use, should I ever need to re-install (for instance, if my computer dies)? Or do I need to contat adobe and be in a class again to re activate.
I don't want to have to pay and take a class every time I want to install CS4.
Anyways, if anyone can shed some light on this for me, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hello,
For a Student Edition of Adobe softwares, you must first submit your proof of status (i.e., class registration, enrollment form, valid photo id with expiration date on the school id) to Adobe.Once you submitted any of those mentioned, that's the time that that you're going to contact Adobe via phone or email to get your serial number for your s/w. The Activation process only takes place if you have uninstalled your Adobe software without deactivating it first.
If your desktop or laptop crashes and your s/w was still loaded on it, you can still reinstall it on another machine. Just make sure that you won't exceed the activation seats or else, it won't allow you to load it on another pc. Just for you to know. Adobe softwares can be installed and activated twice on 2 different machines but you cannot use it simultaneously. Just let me know if you still need help..
Thanks.

  • Can we use Adobe Creative Suite (student version) CS4 and CS5 for commercial usage in Australia?

    Can we use Adobe Creative Suite (student version) CS4 and CS5 for commercial usage in Australia?
    Can we use for commercial purposes while we are studying?
    How about after we graduate?
    Thank you.

    Check your regional S&T pages for specifics. Generally commercial usage is allowed during school and after graduating, but in some regions extra restrictions may apply if e.g. your software is subsidized by your government or the license owned by the school and you just "loaned" it.

  • Another adobe creative suite student edition question

    hi,
    i recently bought adobe creative suite 4 design premium at the apple education store for 419 dollars (before i realized it was cheaper from adobe).  i looked at adobe.com and it says the "student edition" can be used commercially.
    my question is: nowhere on the apple store does it say this is the student edition.  The packaging says, "for educational individual use only," and was a shrinkwrapped case. i still had to submit my school id for verification for my serial number.  i called adobe customer support as well as the apple store and neither seemed to know what i was talking about.  is there any way to know whether my edition is the student edition and able to be used for commercial use?

    I have spend countless hours waiting for an Adobe Cust Svc Rep to answer my call, (should have reached out sooner) trying to find out if you can use either version for education and commercial use, by either I mean any of the CS4  suites education or academic, (I believe the education version is the $399 one and the academic is the $599 -- it couldn't be any more confusing than it is)  -- I was wondering if  the statement you made is still correct today (things change so quickly).  Thanks for your help.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 6: Activation Issue on a new SSD

    I own a licensed copy of Creative Suite 6 for Macintosh. I've installed it on my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. I am planning on replacing the optical drive, which I never use, with a solid state drive. I intend to clone the operative system and applications like CS6 onto the new solid state drive. My hope is that I will make my aging MacBook Pro significantly faster.
    Question: Will I have to deactivate CS 6 before I do this and then reactivate it after the cloning is complete? Will I have to reinstall CS 6 from my original DVDs? What other issues will I face?
    Thanks,
    EV

    Forget the cloning, reinstall the programs properly. Otherwise the activation will not work because quite simply the activation key is not there. of course you should always deactivate existing installs before meddling with any of this...

  • Adobe Creative Suite: Student Edition vs. EDU Edition

    Hello,
    I'm a student from Germany. I actually own a student license for CS3 Design Standard, which can't be used for commercial purposes. Now I've found out that Unimall – an authorized reseller – has two licensing options for CS4: student version (which I own) and EDU version. In the product description Unimalls says, that the EDU version is for commercial use and that it can be upgraded. Can anyone confirm that?

    About a year ago I purchased the student addition of the Adobe Creative suite 6 Design Standard and just recently purchased an additional computer for my home. Can I use the same disc that I previously purchased to download the program?

    Yes, as long as the machine meets the system requirements for the software you can install and activate it.  Your license allows you to have the software installed and activated on two machines.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud oder Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Student and Teacher Edition

    Hallo.
    Ich bin im Moment ein Student. Mein Studium geht noch 10 Monate lang.
    Jetzt weis ich nicht so recht was sich für mich daheim mehr lohnt.
    Die
    Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Student and Teacher Edition für 575€
    oder die Adobe Creative Cloud.
    Ich könnte wärend meines Studiums das Angebot für 20€ im Monat nutzen, allerdings kann ich ja nach meinem Studium nicht einfach auf dem Studenten abo bleiben? Wie ist das geregelt? Denn sonst hänge ich ja wieder auf den 60€ im Monat......als privat Kunde....für meine eigenen Projekte.
    Im Grunde wär die Creative Suite 6 bei dem Preis auf dauer bestimmt besser geeignet, aber ich habe Angst das die CS6 Versionen zu veraltet sind/zu schnell veralten.

    Nun ja, "veraltet" ist keine Aussage. Das hängt ja wohl in erster Linie davon ab, was du für ein System verwendest und wie lange du es behalten willst. CS6 läuft prima auf Windows und wird es noch ein paar Jährchen, nur auf Mac wird's langsam finster, weil sich Apple nicht drum schert...

  • My Adobe Creative Suite 6 (I guess student edition) expired HELP! Can I revert back to CS5??

    Can I revert back to CS5?? (I have a comic deadline to make.)
    I know 5 is registered here on the site. It was a digital copy. I looked at my old laptop. (3 years old or so.) and noticed 5 on there. I can still use it. Some how my CS6 just up and quit working. Which I thought was funny considering I bought it the same way I bought my CS5. I am working on two comic series of my own that are going to be published as E-books and physical books and need some advice.
    I am left without Illustrator to use and I was right in the middle of working on all my character concept art to get trademarked.
    ( I can't afford the 357 upgrade to "re-open:" CS6 so I am left without anything to work on. All of my Illustrator files are also JPEG so i can view them all, but I was in the middle of new artwork when my CS6 decided to become a trial and I got locked out once the "Trial Period" ended.
    I am a legally blind Cartoonist and Comic Artist and these series are my first real big projects that are getting published. I really don't want to have this process stopped for any longer than it has been. It's been almost a month since I was able to draw. (I can draw on paper, but with my eyesight Adobe Creative suite is perfect for me and causes less strain on my eyes.) It's my preferred platform to work on as far as drawing.
    Hope somebody can help.
    (I just got married so I am low on funds at the moment. This project is my baby and I do not want to leave it unattended to for so long.)

    STEP 1:
    FOUND MY PROBLEM (or half of it.)
    I went into my computer and then program files.
    I found that EVERY SINGLE TIME I click any of the Adobe Applications that say (64 Bit) they give me that error message I showed you in an above post.
    STEP 2:
    I clicked Adobe in program files.
    STEP 3:
    I can SUCCESSFULLY open any of my Adobe Apps that are not (64 bit)
    It turns out all of my desktop shortcuts of my adobe apps were all coincidentally 64 bit ones that don't work.
    SO- in conclusion I think I have partly solved my problem.
    I replaced all of my app shortcuts with the normal program files and NOT the 64 bit ones. BUT- I am worried....aren't the 64 bit versions of ANY apps you buy important?
    I do feel worried since my WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL is a 64 bit OS. This would effect my programs correct?
    Feel free to use my story to help you solve other customers' stories. I would like my problem looked into, but I am only half as stressed now.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium Student and Teacher - Is there any chance to get a CC discount?

    Hi there.
    I'm currently a user of Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium which I bought when I was eligible for Student&Teacher version. I'm not a student, neither a teacher anymore. Is there any chance to get a discount for Creative Cloud?
    I thought I would be able to get a discount due to the fact I have previous version of Adobe software, but it seems that it is not for people who bought S&T versions.

    Hi,
    first of all look at your "Help" on top, where you could go to this:
    http://www.adobe.com/ap/support/contact/ ("Need a different country or region?" = Asia Pacific - English) or
    http://www.adobe.com/support/service/
    Also what concerns the service from ADOBE support I personally made very good experiences with the telephone hotline.
    All other product help
    800-833-6687
    Monday-Friday, 5am-7pm PST
    And particularly well I found that Adobe now also offers the chat. All I can give you this link:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403784.html#Free Support
    To 1.: Did you read Adobe's terms and conditions? If so, the question should answer itself. Student version prohibit commercial work, I could read it in a former thread, an academic version would allow it and come with full upgrade rights. (You could use search function here on top.)
    To 2.: Since I have no experience, I would even here use Adobe's or Google's search function.
    To 3. Yes.

  • I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium (Teacher and Student Edition.  I've purchased the upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Trying to install, but it says my serial number is invalid?

    I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium (Teacher and Student Edition).  I've purchased the upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Trying to install, and it says the Adobe CS6 is valid - but only provides 'photoshop' options for entering my old serial number, rather than the adobe creative suite. How do I move past this so I can download it on my computer.  I don't want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 6 - as I do not need all the programs, just photoshop.  From looking online, I read forums that said this was possible.  Please advise

    I don't want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 6 - as I do not need all the programs, just photoshop.
    Unfortunately that option is not possible.
    You cannot upgrade a Creative Suite to a standalone product.
    Creative Suites can only be upgrades to other Creative Suites.
    You'll need to return Photoshop CS6 upgrade since you cannot use it.
    Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
    Some options:
    Buy a Creative Suite upgrade, or
    Buy a full new copy of Photoshop CS6, or

    I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still,  I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

    The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
    If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.
