Creative Suite & student licence

Greetings everybody,
Please forgive my poor English, since I am French.
I am potentially interested in buying a student licence of Adobe Production Premium CS6 which is at a very interesting price.
But prior to making my purchase, I would like to be sure about two things with the student licence, and I hope you could help me.
- first, I am in my last year of studenship. I will have my degree in the end of the year. Can you confirm me that student licences for Adobe products are permanent? In other words, will I be able to use the product when I won't be a student any more? (Actually, I will be a teacher after my degree so I will be eligible for education licences but I prefer to talk only about the student licence for now)
- it is said that the user can only install the product(s) on 2 computers that he owns. I think this is quite fair, and I have a desktop and a laptop computers so it's cool for me.
But does this mean that when one of my computers will die, or if I buy a new computer to replace my laptop or my desktop computer which gets too old and slow, I won't be authorized to install the product on my new computer, even if I don't use any more the old computer(s) and have uninstalled the product from it/them?
This would be a problem for me, since my computers are quite old. Plus, I would like to be able to use the products for a long time, so with probably several changes of computers (but always installed on only one/two at the same time). If the answer is no, does this mean I will have to buy another licence when I will have to change my computer? This would look a bit absurd and I hope it's not the case and it's possible to get an arrangement with Adobe. It is often possible with big companies (Microsoft for example) in this kind of "fair" situations, is it with Adobe?
Thank you for taking time to help me, if you do so.

You are overthinking this. Your license will and shall forever be yours - as long as it technically possible to run the programs. The terms under which the license was initially purchased don't matter. Nobody expects S&T licenses to be used by people that study their whole life and it's perfectly normal that they will be used beyond the college or university days. Activations can be managed at any time using Help --> Activate/ Deactivate, including situations where you need to migrate to a new machine. otherwise you can always contact support to reset activations, should you forget. They do this all the time.

  • CS5 Creative Suite (Student Version) transfer from laptop to PC

    I bought CS5 Creative Suite (Student Version) through amazon, and now wish to transfer from my laptop to my new PC... is this possible?

    Simply install it like on the original system. No magic procedure required. Just deactivate it on the old system if you no longer use it there.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • How do install creative suite CS6 from a disc

    I can't get the program to work. I am using the Adobe Creative Suite Student Edition and I have already registered the product. What do I do next?

    We can't know. you have not provided any system info or other useful technical details nor actually explained what problems you have. "It doesn't work" is simply not good enough.

  • Why is my Creative Suite Program requiring Windows to run?

    I purchased the Creative Suite Student & Teachers Edition today.  The download just finished, and when I tried to open the program, it displayed an error and said that I couldn't open the program because it required Windows to run and I'm on a Mac.  When I purchased Lightroom a few weeks ago, there was a separate download option for Mac's, but I can't seem to find that on the Creative Suite.  Does anyone know anything about this?

    Contact support if you have been given a wrong platform download link. Otehrwise you can use the trial version and activate it with your serial.

  • Commercial use of Acrobat 9 Pro included in Creative Suite 4 Design Premium Student Edition

    Hey!
    So I have bought CS4 Design Premium Student Edition a few years back and I'm still a student by the way.
    As far as I already know, prior to CS5 Student Editions were eligible for commercial use only in North America, but - does Acrobat 9 Pro still count as an integral part of Creative Suite? It can be bought separately as well.
    The thing is - I wanted to convert a few PDF documents to fully featured forms for someone and sell them, because I own a licence of Acrobat Pro. Can I do that? Or does commercial use only refers to my own business and I can't sell the outcome of my work to someone else? How exactly does this work? I'm outside of US and I don't even know if I can count Acrobat 9 Pro as eligible to perform commercial work.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Creative suite 6 standard education - licence

    Sorry if this post isn't on correct place and sorry for my poor english. I can buy a creative suite 6 standard education - new - not open - from a student. The student has bougth 2 packages from this software and will sell one. i'm student and have a student card - can i buy now this software from him an receip a licence number? greetings and thank Schmid

    Student and educational versions of Adobe products are absolutely not transferable, regardless of whether they have ever been used or not. If the student in question purchased too many copies of the software, they should try to return the software to the authorized Adobe reseller for a refund. They cannot legally sell it to you and it is unlikely that you can get a license for it!

  • 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...
