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: 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 4 install question.

    Hello,
    I have installed only certain apps of my Adobe Creative Suite 4. The question is that if i look in the finder to the application folder there are all the folders of the application that i mark to install with color icons, but there are also folders of the applications that i DO NOT mark to install without color icons. I belive that those folders do not contain all the application because have a small size, but theiy are not empty. For what are those folders there? It is safe to remove them?
    I will appreciate a lot any help or information that you could give me. Thanks for your time,
    Marcelo :)

    Hello,
    It seems that this is a common issue with the installation of Adobe Creative Suite 4, i have read now the reade me file (i should read it first when i installed the apps) and there it said in common issues: "Protected Content for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Encore, Soundbooth and OnLocation will be installed, even if those applications have been not been selected for installation. It will appear as though the applications have been installed: application folders will appear in the Start menu on Windows or in the Applications folder on Mac. However, upon attempting to launch one of these applications, an error message will appear saying "You can't open the application because it is not support on this architecture." (#BG063851) "
    It does not said it we have to delete those folders or not, but since this is in the common issues section i belive this is a problem and that i should remove it. What do you think?
    Thanks,
    Marcelo :)

  • Creative suite student edition's serial number doesn't work

    Hi. I bought creative suite for students on amazon and got a serial number with it. The problem is, that it is not accepted when I try to install the program. What is the problem? Thanks for your help!!

    You might want to check with the vendor from whom you purchased the software regarding how to properly install it.  Serial numbers are not normally needed for installing applications.  They are normally needed for activating after installation.
    If you have gotten passed installing and the activation is not working, then you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
    Here are some links to help make contact:

  • Creative Suite Student Edition Eligibility

    Hello all,
    I am planning to buy the CS Student Edition, but still confused with the eligibility description:
    It says:
    University and college students — students enrolled at a higher education institution defined as an accredited public or private university or college (including community, junior, or vocational college) that grants degrees requiring not less than the equivalent of two years of full-time study.
    What does that grants degrees requiring not less than the equivalent of two years of full-time study refer to? The college only? Or also the public and private university?
    Also, what does it mean by that description? Does it mean it is eligible as long as the institution has a degree program (out of its many programs) which requires two years full-time study or more? Or must the student be enrolled in least two years full-time degree program?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Ah, I see. Thanks Michael for your help.
    I am currently have around one or two more months to finish my degree. It is a 1.5 year program. I assume it should be eligible then, am I correct?

  • Adobe Creative Suite from 2003 installation question

    Hi -
      We purchased Adobe Creative Suite Education edition in 2003.   This works and runs on our G4.      Yes I know this is old!
      I'm looking to upgrade to an iMac but have a feelling that the CS from 2003 won't install on newer iMacs as the G4 was using the Motorola chip.
      Can anyone answer this question please?       I don't have the money to buy CS5 and I have been told that educational  versions cannot be upgraded.
    Thanks for your help!

    Sure. So what's the specific problem?

  • 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...

  • 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
    Join the Cloud

    How do I get a replacement disc of adobe creative suite 6 student teacher edition, as the old one is scratched, to re-install on my mac?

    If you purchased the software from Adobe directly, Contact Customer Care - they can tell you if there is a chance to get a replacement disk.  But most likely they will tell you to download the software.
