CS4 student addition to a commercial upgrade

Hi was wondering if it is possible to get a commercial upgrade on a student edition of CS4 as no longer a student?

You have missed your deadline by 7 months. Upgrade eligibility for CS4 ended December last year. At this point your CS4 would only get you a discounted first year on Creative Cloud, but if you want a standalone CS6, you need to buy a full license.

CS4 student licensing restrictions on commercial use?

I have a question concerning using a student licensed CS4 for commercial purposes after one is out of school. I've just spent several hours researching this topic and talking to a service representative via the chat only to increase my confusion. Some posts say yes, some say no, some say no only to non-US users, some seem to say yes to education editions but no to student licensing versions (if there is a difference?), and the rep I talked to said no.
So, to be safe, I'm asking here: can I use my Student Licensing CS4 Design Standard version to do commercial work with after I'm out of school? I bought it while in college legitimately, its the kind that you have to visit the student licensing web page on adobe.com in order to get the serial number for. However, I have seen multiple conflicting answers on the forums concerning this version. I do not know if "Student License" versions are the same as "Student Edition" versions, or "Education Edition" versions, or "Teacher Edition" versions, or if any of those last three are even actual versions.
To be clear, the word "edition" does not appear at all on my CS4 Student Licensing package. The package cover art has a white background with a vertical line in the middle of it that is made up of red gradients.
This question is from someone who both currently lives in, and bought the Student Licensing version of CS4 in, the United States. (2009)
Thank you for your help!

There are no restrictions against you using your student-licensed version of CS4 (either any of the suites or individual programs) for commercial work other than that you may not sell or otherwise transfer your license to anyone else.

Upgrading CS4 student version to CS5

I purchased CS4 student edition a couple years ago and am interested in upgrading to CS5. I have since graduated and can no longer get the student edition. So I am wondering if I can upgrade my version of CS4 to the current non-student edition of CS5 or am I going to have to buy the full non-student edition?
Thanks

Studen versions carry full upgrade rights. Make sure you buy the correct upgrade.

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

Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
The way that works is this:
1. You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
2. You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
3. It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
4. You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

If you are eligible for a new copy of the Teacher and Student edition, that is the way to go. It is generally cheaper to get new teacher/student versions than upgrade to a commercial version. However, with the Creative Cloud now available, I do not know if the CS 6 teacher/student versions are still available.

Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

I am interested in purchasing Photoshop CS4 student edition. I live in the States and my operating system is a Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger. It's also an intel. Anyway, I know a graphic designer who told me you can't use the program for commercial use and also you can only install the disc one time. What constitutes commercial use? If I buy a new computer, will I be able to install PSCS4 again or transfer the files?
Thank you!

You can use the program for whatever you want.
>If I buy a new computer, will I be able to install PSCS4 again or transfer the files?
You can deactivate the other copy, then install from the original media on the new box. DO NOT
transfer the program files, ever; always install from the original media.
The license is for one user, two computers that are not used simultaneously, e.g. a laptop and a desktop box.
You can read the EULA on the Adobe web site. Do a search.

CS4 Student Standard

I am trying to run the cs4 student standard. A split second after it runs a system profile check and the serial entry window pops up I get "Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconveniance". I uninstalled my elements 5.0. I have run registry cleanups. I disable all background programs I can find. Even those via cntrl/alt/del that show any cpu activity. I ran numerous virus scans and spyware scans. I ran the setup on a laptop running vista and I got past the hang up. I can't use that laptop for cs4 though because it was preinstalled with vista stock from Toshiba but it only has 1g of ram and a 2.0 single core. I know right. computer companies will do anything to make an extra couple bucks. It runs like crap and there is no way cs4 would run well on it. Here is the machine I am trying to install it on.
ASUS M2N68-AM SE2
NVIDIA Geforce 9600 GT by BFG
AMD Athlon 64 2.5 dual core
2 gigs of Corsaire 1066mhz (even though the cpu only picks it up as 800mhz)
Windows XP Professional 2002 version w/service pack 3
I want to install it on my WD Caviar Black 32MB cache/7200 RPM 1TB hard drive(if that even matters) but I cant get far enough to choose the drive for install. I was able to get install going on another PC so I know it isnt a bad disc. I need this soon for school and I can't seem to get any results from tech support. They actually had the nerve to tell me to upgrade to Windows 7. Sure maybe I should but I can't afford 7 now because I bought this and I want to make sure Microsoft works out all the bugs before I waste my money like I did Vista. The tech support people were cool and all but they couldnt help. I was hoping someone here may have seen this error before and can help. I have no previous versions of CS anything on here. Just Lightroom now. I doubt that is the issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I love Adobe products and this is the 1st problem I ever had that I could not fix. Its just seems kinda weird. I have been using PS and Elements and CS3 for a long time on other PCs ad would like to be able to use this quality product that I know it is.

I didn't think you buy the student edition anywhere but from a school. You'll need to call Adobe to find out what your next step is.

About a year ago I purchased the student addition of the Adobe Creative suite 6 Design Standard and just recently purchased an additional computer for my home. Can I use the same disc that I previously purchased to download the program?

Yes, as long as the machine meets the system requirements for the software you can install and activate it. Your license allows you to have the software installed and activated on two machines.

Do you have your serial number(s)?
You can download and install some version of CS4 from this site:
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Be sure to follow the Very Important Instructions to set your Adobe authorization cookie.
What I’m not sure is if the version downloaded from the above link will activate with student edition serial numbers or not.

If you are still eligible for S&T pricing, you simply buy a completely new discounted license of CS6.
