As a student in the UK, would I be able to legally use a CS5.5 student license for commercial use?

And if so, will I be able to continue using it commercially when I am no longer a student?
If you are able to answer, please cite a source.
Thanks!

I read over the product license agreement for flash, I couldn't find anything about the student version. I have done a bit of research, and according to this site I can use the student and teacher editions commercially. However I'm unsure of whether this applies to the UK. I realise you won't have the answers, but could you possibly point me in the right direction? For instance, is there anywhere on the site that would allow me to talk with an actual adobe representative?
Thanks for the reply!

Student License for commercial-use, in Italy

Hi there!
I would want to buy a student license for Flash Professional CS5, but I have some doubts about it.
Can I use this kind of license for commercial use, like creating websites for works, or selling my games on Steam?
I've read a older topic, and someone said that policy varies depending on the states, so I would like to be sure before buying it.

Hey there Attilio, you should find the answer in the student edition FAQ for your country:

I'm horribly confused about student licensing and commercial use

As the title says I'm horribly confused about student licensing and using it for commercial use.
I currently have a Student Licensing version of Adobe Creative Suite 4 that I purchased through my school's journeyEd portal.
Seeing how CS5 is now out I was browsing looking at prices (why not upgrade while I'm still a student, right?) and while browsing I bumped into one source that says that Student Licensing can not be used for commercial purposes, and this is when the confusion started. I remember reading before that we are able to use student licensing for commercial purposes, okay time to google search. I found one Adobe FAQ that says I can. .
http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
" Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?
Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use. "
and I found this old thread;
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/314304
Where an poster listed as an employee of Adobe states
"There is no upgrade from the CS3 Educational Edition to the comparable CS3 editions sold in non-academic environments. If you have an educational version of for CS3 obtained legitimately (i.e., you qualified for the educational version when you obtained it), you may continue to use that software for the indefinite future, even for commercial use! You cannot sell or otherwise transfer that license, though! When the next version of the Creative Suite is released, you will have two choices: (1) If you still qualify for the educational version, you can buy a copy of that next version (there is no special upgrade pricing from one educational version to another; the price is already very low) or (2) you can upgrade from the educational version of CS3 to the full version of the next version of the Creative Suite as an upgrade from CS3 at the prices published at that time. "
Okay cool, hmm what this? Adobe is asking me if I want to IM with live costumer service agent, sure why not? Then the conversation started and I asked her my question about using my CS4 license for commercial use, she asks for my product code and email to verify my product, then informs me I can purchase the upgrade version of CS5 and use that for commercial, okay great, but not really answering my question. I reword it and give her a link to that FAQ page it goes like this. ..
"[CS Rep] : [My name], I would like to inform you that Adobe Student and Teacher Editions are not allowed for
commercial use.
[CS Rep] : However, you can upgrade your current software to a normal upgrade version, and you can continue
using it for commercial purpose.
[Me] : Then is the FAQ page mistaken? Because it is very misleading if it is. But thank you for the information.
[CS Rep] : You are welcome.
[CS Rep] : I apologize for the misleading information in the FAQ."
. .And after that, I went back to being confused.
SO my questions are. . . Can I or can't I use my Adobe Creative Suite 4 student licensing for commercial purposes? and If I purchase a Student Licensing of CS5 can I use that for commercial purposes as well?
Sorry for the long post, I just want to be perfectly clear on what I can and can not do with my purchase.

The rules differ in various parts of the world. In North America you can use it for commercial work.
There are no student/academic upgrades. The pricing is so low that in many cases you're better off buying another full student license but you are eligible for upgrade pricing for commercial versions once you're out of school.
You may not transfer the student license in any way.

Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications

Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications. (Office Mac, Adobe CS6, Logic Pro)

When OS X asks you to restore a backup, it will allow you to select what you want to restore from the backup, Just select the things you need, because if you select everything, you will be in the same status as before restoring the Mac to factory settings. This has nothing to do with erasing the hard drive
It's OK to make backups with Time Machine

If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

If I purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 from the USA, would I be able to use the phone in Australia?

Yes - unlocked means unlocked, but if there is a problem that requires an exchange under warranty, the warranty would be honored in the US only. You would need to return to the US for an exchange under warranty.

I have a Lexmark printer which is a little old. So when i connect my iphone to it via the USB cable my printer doesn't recognise it. If i bought a bluetooth adaptor for the printer would i be able to print photos via bluetooth?

The only way to print from an iPad is to have a printer that supports AirPrint. Here's a link to an Apple support page on AirPrint.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
AirPrint is way to print wirelessly via Wi-Fi but it requires that the printer supports AirPrint. The iPad cannot use Bluetooth to print and it will not print when connected via USB.

Upgrading student edition for commercial use?

hello
i have called up the Adobe customer service line twice now and been given two different answers to my questions, so i have decided i would give the adobe forum a go as you guys seem on the ball, and most likely don't work in an Indian call centre.
My two questions are:
1) Can CS4 design premium student edition be used for commercial use in Australia?
( It seems like a stupid question because it says not for commercial gain, but i have called up the Adobe customer service line and i was told i was able to use it for commercial gain. I made sure to note that i was in Australia and not in North America.)
2) If i cannot, am i able to upgrade the student edition so i can use it for commercial gain? If Yes can you please share with me a link or supply some further information.
( The second call centre guy said yes to this question, but didn't explain himself very well.)
Any information would be appreciated, as i hope to start doing some commercial work this year.

Hi Wyllium,
I do not know where you found the above information, but here are few links on Adobe site which confirms that the Education version products can be used for commercial purpose:

Why does the terms for logic say we cant run these programs for commercial use

question i have regarding the terms for garage band and logic terms where is says just under section 2 it says ((i) to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple
Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you
own or control; and)
im not sure if it means i cant use garage band or logic to produce music for clients for commercial use ?
check it out here
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/LogicPro.pdf
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/GarageBand.pdf

Section C/2/A/(ii) of the Logic Pro document says:
if you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, to download, install, use and run
one (1) copy of the Apple Software for use either: (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control.
and section C/2/B says:
The Apple Software may contain sample content including but not limited to artwork, audio files, audio loops, built-in sound files, graphics, images, impulse responses, photographs, samples, sound sets, sound settings, video files, or similar assets (“Sample Content”). This Sample Content is proprietary to Apple and/or its licensors, and is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright. Except as otherwise provided, all Sample Content included in the Apple Software may be used on a royalty-free basis to create your own original soundtracks for your film, video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Sample Content, however, individual Sample Content assets may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, clipart, music beds, sound effects, sound files, sound libraries, stock animation, or similar assets.
(my emphasis).
All this would seem to cover you for the use you propose (this is not a legal opinion). GarageBand is presumably similar.

Can I use the songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use/film?

Can I use the default songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use; such as in a film?

C. Raio
We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user.
In the threads that I have read here the following is the user to user reply on this matter that is seen regarding project assets....Music Scores in this case....
The Music Score soundtracks are from the Adobe Premiere Elements (12 or 13) Music Score selections within the program.
And, they can be used in the users choice of export. As for "authorship", I guess you would point to Adobe, Premiere Elements version, Music Score.
Would the evaluators settle for the above information?

Photoshop cs2 student version, can it be used for commercial use?

Some years ago I bought an Adobe Photoshop cs2 student version. Can it be used for commercial use now?

Hi Bob,
Another guy posted on the thread:
"Yes, if you are in the United States. Maybe in other countries."
So if I am from Denmark, does the "Yes" still apply?

Student/Teacher edition for commercial use?

I received the student/teacher version of the CS6 Master collection from my school which I am currently enrolled at and I have recently started a production company with some colleagues and will be heavily using Premier Pro, After Effects and other applications for our business. We will be making money for our services so my question is will it be ok for me to use the student/teacher edition or will I need to get a CC subscription for commercial use?
Thanks!
Richard

is will it be ok for me to use the student/teacher edition
Yes.
Best explained here:
http://prodesigntools.com/difference-between-adobe-cs5-student-editions-vs-regular.html
"Since Creative Suite 5, all Student and Teacher Editions can be utilized for personal as well as commercial use, for all academic customers worldwide. So yes, you can sell your services or anything you create, or use these products in developing a side business or online venture. And after graduation or completion of coursework, you can continue to use the perpetual software on your personal systems; there is no usage expiration and those tools will continue to work."
Adobe's version: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/education-faq.html
"Can I use Student and Teacher Edition products commercially?
Yes, Student and Teacher Edition products can be used commercially on your privately owned computer. They may not be resold."
