Student Edition - Licensing Questions

Hi all! I am a Web Development student, and I was considering a purchase of the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium Student and Teacher Edition.
I have read quite a few posts but couldn't find all my answers. I even chatted with Adobe online help, but he/she couldn't answer my questions either.
My question(s), and I do apologize if I'm making you repeat anything for the umpteenth time:
Can I design graphics and websites for clients either during my internship, or after graduation, with the Student and Teacher Edition?
Can I sell anything that I create using the Student and Teacher Edition?
I realize that the Student and Teacher Edition CANNOT be upgraded. Should I want to upgrade after I graduate, do I then purchase a commercial license?
Not really a question, but more of a request. Alot of posts point HERE or HERE regarding upgrades, but for the life of me I cannot find a price for upgrading from the Student Teacher Edition to any other license. Could someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance, for any and all help.
Debbie

Hi Debbie, thank you so much for your questions. It can be confusing - in fact I just re-read the first piece you linked and realized it wasn't as clear as it could be, so we're doing some rewrites on the limitations of the student editions.
So on to your questions...
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Actually, they can be upgraded at any time - but only to a commercial version and not to another education version.
4. Just check Adobe's discounted pricing for regular commercial upgrades - it's exactly the same for upgrades from academic software.
Hope this helps!

Production Premium CS4 Student Edition-Quick Question

I just purchased the student edition of Production Premium CS4. I would like to install the software as soon as I recieve it, however, I do plan on buying a new computer within the next month.
Am I able to install the software on the computer I have now, and then once I have purchased the new computer, deactivate and uninstall CS4 from the old computer and reinstall and activate on the new computer?
I believe the Licence states that the software may only be installed on one computer. Does that mean one computer at a time or one computer ever?
Thank you!

A good and frequent question - and I think you should be OK... Check out the entries in this FAQ, "Do the Student Editions have restricted functionality?" and "How many computers can I use a Student Edition on?" (under "How Can I Use My Software?") http://bit.ly/byG0p6

Adobe Lightroom 4 - Some Questions / Help Needed

Hi everyone.
After advice from several experts, I've just purchased Adobe Lightroom 4. I've already got Photoshop CS5, but I was looking for something proper to organise my photos, plus I found Lightroom easier to do the sort of editing I am wanting to do. Now, I only really use photoshop for things like colour pops, or really in-depth editing. Anyway, I'm loving Lightroom so far, but there is some stuff I'm not very sure of, so I'd appreciate some help
1. Organising
Firstly, I'm not really sure how to organise. At the moment, I've just got lots of folders with random events in My Pictures on W7, so I might have a folder called April 11, which contains photos from that month but that might have been a wedding or an easter holiday or both. So it doesn't really work. \
I understand in Lightroom what catalogs are. But I know enough to know that I don't want to group mine into those, its getting too complicated. What I don't know though is the difference between a collection and a folder. Basically, I'm wanting to reimport and reorganise all my photos, so I want to put them into "events" as such like you can do on iPhoto on a mac, so I would have "France Summer Holiday 11" for example, or "Mia's Wedding". I'm not really sure on the best way to do this ...?
2. Editing
I've played around quite a bit so far, and I really like what I've seen. On a lot of photos, I've made a lot of changes. But from what I can see, these changes are stored merely in Lightroom itself. For example, at the moment I'm importing photos from my external disk into Lightroom, which then saves them in C://My Pictures/Lightroom/Pictures . When I go look at these photos in windows explorer which I know I have edited, it doesn't show any of the changes or editing I've done on them. Now I realise this is me being stupid, but why doesn't it? Supposing I then want to email that photo to a friend that I have edited? How would I do that? I don't want to have to open lightroom and export every single photo I edit? There must be a simpler way?
Likewise for backing up, because all my files are in subfolders within C:// My pictures / Lightroom / Pictures, to back up I was simply going to set up windows to copy that latter folder onto my external HDD everytime I plugged it in. This would be pointless however if it isn't physically overwriting the original photo with my edited version?
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night. I spent ages adjusting colours and lighting and so on, and now it looks great. But I would also like to save a copy of that photo with the "old age photo" effect preset on. Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:
4. Simple question - how do I add tags, keywords or comments if I haven't done it on import?
5. My camera doesn't have built in GPS. Is it possible for me to manually geotag photos (in a batch, say for a Summer Holiday to NY), could I manually add a geotag for all these photos?
6. I also forgot to add copyright information on import for some, is it possible to do this after import and how?
7. I normally shoot in JPEG. I probably shoot shoot in RAW as everyone tells me to do so. Are there any significant advantages in terms of quality, and for editing with?
Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.

Hi William,
1. Organising

I am not so sure if you understand *catalogs*.
You need a catalog, exactly 1 in my opinion. A catalog is a database. The Lightroom database, where records about your images are stored, including the pointers to your images, which are not inside a catalog! LR backups just does the backup of the catalog (i.e. a file ending .lrcat). You need to take care separately that your real images are backed up !
Inside your LR database the best way to organize is via collections - this will give you what you want with "France summer holiday 11" etc.
Folders are relatively unimportant, just storage buckets. They should be *handy portions*, I would prefer them with below 3000 images each, as there currently some bugs to those bigger ones.
Before you start with LR, you can organize your pictures in Mac Finder / WindowsExplorer.
Or you could do it with the help of LR, by copying your images over during import into the destination folders (and deleting today's folders afterwards after having verified that everything is fine).
A simple date-based structure will do, I'd recommend a root parent folder like "LR images", underneath one folder per year (\2010\, \2011\, \2012\...) and underneath them either
just one folder per month (LR can auto-create them for you)
or you create the folders in import dialog as e.g. "YYYY-MM-DD description of shoot", to have a mini-diary overview also in your OS.
Apart from that you create collections, either *dumb ones*, where you drag images into, or smart ones, where you specify criteria according to which they get auto-filled.
2. Editing
I've played around quite a bit so far, and I really like what I've seen. On a lot of photos, I've made a lot of changes. But from what I can see, these changes are stored merely in Lightroom itself. For example, at the moment I'm importing photos from my external disk into Lightroom, which then saves them in C://My Pictures/Lightroom/Pictures . When I go look at these photos in windows explorer which I know I have edited, it doesn't show any of the changes or editing I've done on them. Now I realise this is me being stupid, but why doesn't it? Supposing I then want to email that photo to a friend that I have edited? How would I do that?

This would be pointless however if it isn't physically overwriting the original photo with my edited version?
LR will never overwrite your original photos.
You can save most of the catalog content into the xmp-part of the original photo, which is either a sidecar-file (.xmp) or part of the file format, like for DNG, TIFF, PSD, JPG. To do so you select the image in LR and hit <ctrl> s. Or you set it up for continuous update, which creates a lot of operations while you play back and forth in develop.
I do that on my own, typically twice per file: once I am done with develop, once I am done with keywording and other metadata update.
LR contains records about your images, i.e. a set of instructions how they are to be interpreted. That is all.
So of course you need LR to export the result of these instructions, which is actually pretty quick.
To backup your images you need to do that just once, plus you backup your LR catalog. Or if you save xmp to the files, you can do another backup once xmp is ready.
I would not consider this pointless. You just have to think that there are 2 places with data for your images: the images themselves and a database with interpretation instructions.
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night. I spent ages adjusting colours and lighting and so on, and now it looks great. But I would also like to save a copy of that photo with the "old age photo" effect preset on. Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
Yes, this is one of LR's beauties: you create a so-called *virtual copy*, which is just a 2nd record for the same original image file with different interpretation settings, like black-and-white, a different crop size, different development etc. You can have as many virtual copies as you like, and you'll see them as additional thumbnails.
Virtual copies are not saveable into xmp, though. There is another concept which is saveable into xmp: snapshots. but these are different states in develop history, and you do not see outside develop module that you have several.
If you export virtual copies e.g. to jpg one file per virutal copy will be created.
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:
4. Simple question - how do I add tags, keywords or comments if I haven't done it on import?
5. My camera doesn't have built in GPS. Is it possible for me to manually geotag photos (in a batch, say for a Summer Holiday to NY), could I manually add a geotag for all these photos?
6. I also forgot to add copyright information on import for some, is it possible to do this after import and how?
7. I normally shoot in JPEG. I probably shoot shoot in RAW as everyone tells me to do so. Are there any significant advantages in terms of quality, and for editing with?
Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.
ad 4: you use the library module, metadata panel to enter.
ad 5: you use the map module. Either you manually drop your images on a map, or you have a separate GPS track to load and have LR assign via matching time-stamps.
ad 6: like 4
ad 7: You don't need JPG from your camera, you can achieve better results viy LR from RAW. Yes, there are significant advantages as to editing headroom.
Overall, may I suggest my favorite learning material for LR? First watch Julieanne's Tutorial Videos.
Then go play and use Victoria Bampton's eBook or paper copy of her "Missing FAQs to LR4": http://www.lightroomqueen.com/books/adobe-lightroom-4-missing-faq/
Have fun,

I have wiped my computer and am now trying to reinstall my adobe student edition. i have lost the serial number

i have recently had to wipe my computer. i am now trying to reinstall my adobe creative suite 6; design and web premium. i have lost the serial number. i have two adobe accounts, but cannot remember which one i used (i have a strong idea though). i still have a photo of the student id card i used to activate it in 2012.

If you registered the software then your serial number should be recorded in your Adobe account online.

Student needing some questions answered about Manufacturing Scheduling software

Greetings;
I am a undergraduate senior at Arizona State University majoring in Supply Chain Management. I am currently doing a project about Oracle's Manufacturing Scheduling option and have a few general questions for those of you that have used the software and/or involved with its implementation. Your help is greatly appreciated. If you are uncomfortable releasing your company's name that is fine. If you do not want to post the answers here, I can also be emailed at rmkraus"SAYNOTOSPAMBOTS"@asu.edu. Thank you!!
The questions I have are:
What is your experience with the manufacturing scheduling software?
What is/was your role with the software?(ie buyer, consultant, user, technical support, etc)
How do you feel about the software's ease of use?
What training did you recieve or did your company offer?
How much did implementing the software approxiamately cost?
What do you feel are the advantages of the software?
What do you feel are the disadvantages of the software?
Did your company have any problems during the implementation?
Has your company experienced cost savings due to the software?
Have you or your company used any competing software in the past?
Any other insight that you would like to share?
Thank you, I greatly appreciate your help.

Im not sure on 5
I know it's unusual, but if your project budget is
good you may have more than one constructor. At least
that's what I thoughtach.. you poor fellow, you are confused now aren't you.
i bet taht in the fifth question they are talking about 'constructor methods', not procrammers who are constructing the code (or 'contractors')
if your budget allws then you may even have three or 87 contractors, but that's not the case here.
i hope that clarifies things a bit.
and PS! i don't like when people intentionally give bad solutions to others.

Question on installing student edition of CS6.

I purchased this from amazon.com. There is a product code but no serial number. It says a serial number will be emailed to you once your eligibility has been verified. Does this mean I first install it as a trial? I would have thought I would be installing it as a paid version.

How is the Student Edition different?

Hello,
I am a college student and while browsing my university software store I noticed they had Adobe Creative Suite 4: Web Premium Student Edition. I was wondering what makes the student edition different from the premium set? Is the education set the premium set just with some learning stuff?
Thank you for all the help.
I am sorry if this is not in the right forum.

So I could only put it on one computer. So I cannot put it on say my desktop and laptop?
The terms of the licence say this: "A Student Edition can be used on only one computer." One computer means precisely that: ONE computer.
What about partitions? Currently I have two harddrives on one system. One runs XP and the other runs the Windows 7 beta. Technically they are both on one machine so can I install it to both harddrives?
You would need to ask Adobe technical support about that. The licence says you can't "transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student Edition license." That seems to suggest that only one person can use it.
I have a full retail licence (not a student one), and Dreamweaver lets me use two separate user accounts on the same machine (they're both me, but the computer doesn't know that). Since my student days were over many moons ago, I have no way of testing whether Dreamweaver can be used on separate partitions. The sensible thing to do is to install it on the partition that you use most. However, you should be aware that Windows 7 is still a beta. No Adobe software is guaranteed to run on it (it probably does, but there's no guarantee).
To avoid any doubt, this is a user-to-user forum. The information provided by me (or anyone else so far in this thread) does NOT come from Adobe employees. We have provided you in good faith with what we believe to be the correct information as it currently stands. If you have any further questions about the terms of the student licence, you should contact Adobe directly.

CS4 Student Edition - Can my daughter use this for commercial use after she has finished her studies?

I have searched all day, having phoned 6 different numbers and researched everywhere to not get a definate answer to this question. We are in the UK, I do not want to spend money on software which she cannot legally use after her studies to produce work which she can sell commercially. Some forum answers are relevant for North America only or are a little out of date refering to Education Licenses. Please help!! One person said they embed a watermark to prevent commercial use but is this an education copy or a student edition?

Within limits, yes, but as you stated you are in the UK, I don't think it is "allowed". Refer to this link: http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentedition/faq.html
I'll copy the text for sake of ease.
Do the Student Editions have restricted functionality?
Adobe Student Editions give the end user all the features and functionality of the commercial versions. The software may be used only on a privately owned computer, and the end user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student Edition license.
Is there a time limit on using the Student Editions?
No, there is no time limit on using the Student Editions.
Can a Student Edition also be used for commercial purposes?
In North America, Student Edition software can be used for commercial purposes. Outside North America, Student Edition software is for noncommercial purposes only.
How many versions of a Student Edition can I purchase?
Each eligible person may purchase only one copy per Adobe Student Edition. For example, a student may purchase only one copy of Creative Suite 4 Design Premium Student Edition. If that student buys an additional copy of Design Premium Student Edition, no serial number will be issued for it.
How many computers can I use a Student Edition on?
A Student Edition license can be installed on up to two computers (for example, a desktop and laptop). Activation ensures that no more than two computers can have the same serial number.
Can I upgrade from a Student Edition?
Yes, a Student Edition can be upgraded to a commercial version.
Can I resell a Student Edition?
The end user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student Edition license.
Can I use a Student Edition after I graduate?
Yes, after you graduate, you may continue to use your Student Edition; the license does not expire.
Can I use a Student Edition on a computer at school?
No, you may use your Student Edition only on your own private computer.

Student edition and teatcher

Hi, I have registered my adobe student edition and teatcher before. but my old mac was destroyed and I had to buy a new, and i dont have the same email anymore, how do i get it on my new mac? when the produkt has been registered from before?

You should be able to install the software on the new machine and activate it with your old serial number.
If you do not have disks for the software, you can probably find it as a trial version at the following site.
http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site.
If you happen to have an issue with deactivation or any other issue with the serial number or activation for the new installation you should contact Adobe Support by chat or via phone.
Here are some links to help make contact:

Limitations on Student Edition of CS4?

"You may purchase only one license of any Adobe Student Edition product. This license may be used only on your privately owned computer. Student Edition products may not be resold by the end user."
Are the exact words on the Student version page.
I was told that this means it can only be installed once. How true is that?
What if I get a new computer?
My specific dilemma is that I am on an older computer right now but do not have the money to get a much needed new one till the end of the year.
Class has started and I need to use PS cs4.
Am I off my rocker?
Miles

I had the same problem but instead of updating my PC I baught a Mac.
I think u'll find adobe might be pretty leniant in these circumstances, they've always treated me quite well. If you can't reinstall on the new PC I would give them a call and see what they can do for you.
Cheers

Student edition limitations?

Hi, just wanted to clear up a few things is all. I know the
student edition limitations are that it cannot be used for
commercial gain, but does it allow me to create a website for
someone free of charge (so no gain on my part) but would lead to
commercial gain on their part.
thanks.

Having said that David, I suspect that terminology may be
getting mixed up
here, which is not helped by Adobe's less than clear
websites.
Apparently, Educational (Academic) versions and (even
cheaper) "Student
Editions" are two different things.
http://www.adobe.com/uk/education/students/studentedition/
http://www.adobe.com/education/
"Adobe Student Edition software is for installation solely on
private
computers and for noncommercial purposes only. Please note
the conditions of
eligibility and usage."
(Side note: Do we deduce from the websites that Student
Editions are OK
only?)
From
http://forums.mactalk.com.au/13/33307-adobe-cs3-student-education-version.html
Student Edition
* No User Guide
* No serial number in box. Student needs to send Adobe the
form inside box
and student ID to obtain serial number. Adobe ETA 3 working
days.
* Can only register one copy of each product in a 12 month
period.
* Can't use after studies or for commercial purposes.
* Can only be used on a privately owned computer.

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.

CS4 Student Edition Questions

Hi, I'm currently a student at Seattle Art Institute and need to get CS4. My question is, if I get CS4 Student Edition is it any different than the regular CS4? Does it not include some things that the other has? Also, when I graduate will I have to upgrade to a regular CS4 in order to do my own personal work or can I just use the Student Edition. And lastly, will I be able to use the Student Edition for internships? Thanks for any help,
-Eric

I'm aware this post is rather old, but I was curious as to where you got this information? The "US" website does not say that, and I purchased the student version and talked to three different Adobe associates over the phone (including the supervisor) all of which said that here in the US you absolutely can use the Student edition of CS4 for commercial work.
EDIT: never mind I saw your link. You're right about it NOT being able to be used for commercial use in the UK.
I was worried for a second. Here in the USA you can use it for commercial work. Just called and verified the difference on the phone yet again...lol
UK no USA yes
