Creative Suite Education Edition Licensing in Australia

I have been round in circles for ages! I cannot find a difinitive answer to my question, or even somwhere to ask it! Why can't I just email somebody?
While doing an online graphic design course in 2011 i qualified for the Education Edition of CS5. (NOT the student edition)
So my question;
In Australia, can I use the Education Edition of CS5 for commercial purposes - can I use it to make money at all - or do I have to upgrade to the commercial license?
I understand that I can upgrade to CS6 in the store, and that would be the full version. But at the moment I can't even afford that! So would I be doing something illegal if I used my Education Edition to make money?
If noone can help me on this question, can you give me a link to where I should ask it? No matter where I click; contact, support, help, I keep getting pushed back to the FAQ or forum with no answers to my question.

I know of no restriction on academic versions other than that prohibiting you from transferring the license.

Hallo, ich habe eine Creative Suite master edition CS5. Kann ich diese zu einer CS6 version updaten oder zu einem Creative cloud Abo?

Hallo, ich habe eine Creative Suite Master edition CS5. Kann ich diese zu einer CS6 version updaten oder zu einem Creative Cloud Abo? Ich finde keine direkt Angabe bei Adobe + Kosten.
Ausserdem habe ich versucht die heutige Version CS5 zu updaten. Beim download tritt ein Fehler auf. Der Fehler wird nicht genannt, sondern ich werde aufgefordert, um es später nochmals zu probieren. Das habe ich, aber es funktioniert nicht. Kan mir jemand weiter helfen?

Office or Creative Suite with site licensing on Lion Server

Can Office or Creative Suite with site licensing reside on a mac mini server for the network to use or do the applications need to be on each computer in the network?

The big software makers constantly winge about customers must ensure they are legal regarding software licensing. However they not only don't make this easy, they actually go out of their way to make it hard in terms of purchasing, license management and auditing. We will ignore the separate issue of some of them actively ripping customers off over pricing (I am looking at you Adobe).
I can say that it was technically possible with Office 2004 for Mac to install a single volume-license version of Office on a server and run it sumultaneously on multiple client logins. I have not had the opportunity to try this with Office 2012 for Mac.
Note: I had more than enough individual Office 2004 licenses to cover the number of clients when I did this.
Another approach to investigate is the use of KeyServer from Sassafras Software. This can take a standard version of an application and wrap it with extra license management code. The KeyServer software then controls how many simultaneous copies can be run, you can even book copies out for use on a laptop you are taking out of the office. The booking would be for a fixed time limit after which it is released and no longer works until you contact the license server again.
See http://www.sassafras.com/licensing.html
I believe in the past and maybe still now, that Sassafras worked with the major software developers to enable this. I don't know whether Adobe, Microsoft, etc. are still enabling this or whether they have continued to show their stupidity by stopping this and making license management even harder. I suggest you contact Sassafras to discuss this.
Note: Even though FileMaker has serial numbers and user licenses, it is possible to easily manage things using a single serial key as FileMaker let you buy a volume license key and you are simply allowed to run up to a that specific number of simultaneous copies, there is none of the stupid hassle of product activation etc. linked to individual hardware devices.

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?
Link (in German):

Creative Suite 4 student licensing question

I just purchased what I guess is the student edition of Creative Suite 4 from the college bookstore online.
The front cover says:
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard
Student Licensing
Academic ID required
Serial number required for installation
Here is my question:
I own two Macs. Can I install this software on both of them, or only on one of them?

Yes, from what I understand you can very well put it on two computers as long as you are the operator of both machines.

Creative Suite CS 4 Licensing Issue

Hi there, a few month ago I installed the Creative Suite in a computer but then suddenly that computer OS got broken so I formatted and install a different OS and re-install the CS again, and then last week the computer died. So I bought a new one and I'm install the CS4 but now I get a message that I've already activated the suite in two pcs, so my question is how can I deactivate the license if the computer is broken? The hard disk is ok, but I have to format it in order to work in a new computer , what could I do in that case?
Thanks.
Michael

Try this method outlined by Adobe:
You can use the following method to initiate the Java runtime installation or confirm it is currently installed.
Go to Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.
Open the Java Preferences.
If Java is not installed, you receive the following message:
“To open “Java Preferences," you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?”

Adobe CS4 Creative Suite Web Edition and Flash CS5 Crashing Problems

Hi, just a simple question;
I have a Windows XP Pro x64 & x86 Machine which both have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and Adobe Flash CS5 installed onto.
The problem i have is that when i install Flash CS5 onto the machine which already has Adobe Creative Suite CS4 is breaks basically, Flash CS5 keeps crashing, even if just creating something simple like a box with colour in it.
I have installed every update available for both products and this still does not rectify the problem. Ive read numerous articles about fonts, hotfixes, updates etc etc etc.
None of the forums has an asnwer to this. I would post an error report but as the machines crash im unable to gather this information.
This is a big problem for us as we use this in industry and we need to resolve this asap, no point paying for products if they cant work together, my theory is something to do with shared libraries which both products use, i could be wrong, but this is what im left to think is wrong.
Has anyone else had this same problem, if so, whats the answer to rectify this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the lack of information provided, i would post more but cant gather extra information whats causing this.

I'm using CS3/CS4/CS5 and a standalone After effects CS5.5 here side by side without issues - on Vista 64. Can't tell you much specific about Flash, though, since I use it too rarely. Bridge may have a temper, but most of these "issues" relate to Mini-Bridge in Photoshop CS5, which nobody forces you to use and people being unhappy with thinbgs like contact sheets or PDF catalogs having moved to Bridge ratehr than still being PS scripts. So from where I stand, these are non-issues. Of course you'll have to live with the fact that things like browsing in Bridge or editing originals are always wired in such a way as to use the latest version of a suite, which might cause compatibility issues when e.g. trying to invoke Bridge in CS4 to browse something, which will then launch Bridge CS5. None of this is unresolvable, though, and mostly requires editing Bridge prefs and your system's fiel association handling... With regards to your otehr issues, I realyl recommend you give Process Explorer a spin. if this happens even on fresh system installs, the most likely cause is some missing DLL, which you also can only find out this way. A blindfire approach to this problem would be to simply install any .NET and MSVC runtime you can get a hold of and similar stuff, but this might only add unnecessary files and still miss the one that you would need...

Can I transfer my Creative suite CS 6 License without my original CS5 Disks?

Hi,
I bought Creative suite CS5 premium (mac) but I have lost the original disks in a recent move, I have recently upgraded to 5.5 with the free cs6 upgrade which turned up last week.
My circumstances have now chaged and I would like to sell and transfer the product/license but can the new owner install the product with just the 5.5 & 6 disks?
I have record of the serial number for CS5 - would that work?
I hope this makes sense

Some users have reported success using the steps listed under http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369. It should be noted though that this will take you to the instructions to initiate a direct download of Creative Suite 6. You will need to navigate the Prodesigntools site to locate the instructions for CS5.

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?

Creative Suite Multi User License

is it possible to buy a multi user license for CS4 or CS5 for PC? I only need 3 users.

Do you know how amny you need to buy and where you buy them from?
Quoting MichaelKazlow <[email protected]>:
It is possible, but I think 3 users is too few.

Creative suite CS3 lost Licensing and stopped working. support sent me to a site to download CS3 application but got error 404. How do I download?

Adobe support sent me to a Photoshop suite CS3 site but when I clicked the download for mac option I was redirected to a site with an error 404.

Download CS3 products
For anything beyond that you will have to be a lot more specific and provide proper system information or details like what browser you use.
