CS5.5 Premium Design Student/teacher edition

Ok, I have a problem and i'm not sure what to do,
I already brought the cs5.5 for school uses, however,
i am unable to provide adobe the proof that i'm still in
school and my 30 days is about be up,
so what can i do to switch from student to commerical use?

This is addressed to anyone who wants to help.  (Hi Bob, you seem to be on this forum a lot.)
Here's my sad story:
I bought the Creative Suite 5 Design Premium Teacher/Student version last year from a guy with a good sales reputation stats on EBay.  He wrote that he's a trainer for the Navy and when he tried to register it, found out that his service to his country as a teacher-trainer didn't qualify him for the discounted version. 
I bought it and when I started back in school last week, I got a message from Identit-e that it was already registered. 
Trying to give the seller the benefit of the doubt, I wrote Identit-e back and asked if the registration was successful or whether it was aborted because the guy found out he's not eligible. 
They wrote me back and said that his registration was rejected because he was ineligible.  AND, that the software has been registered and I can't register it.  --Say what?!
I called them on their logic and they wrote back they won't respond anymore.  Case closed. 
So, being as Adobe told me the other night I'd have to take the issue up with Identit-e, and Identit-e has responded how it has -- I seem to be screwed here.  I don't have money to blow like this -- I'm unemployed and trying to retrain myself and get employed again by going back to community college. 
I'd like to keep a high opinion of Adobe and that it does have some caring customer service in addition to great products. 
WHY would they associate themselves with such a shameful, loser verification company??
Can anyone out there help me?!  ADOBE?!?
Thank you.
Veronica

    You can buy the commercial upgrades for CS6 and LR5. LR4 is no longer available.

  • Can I purchase CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together?

    Hello,
    I don't know if I can purchase both CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together. The restrictions with Student Teacher editions say you can only purchase one license of any Adobe STE product within a twelve month period. Does this mean I could purchase CS5 now and in a year buy LR3 or it's newest version?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can buy both now, or whenever you want.
    Per Adobe's Student Edition FAQ, "Each eligible person may purchase only one copy per Adobe Student and Teacher Edition title ..."
    However, those two products are different titles - so you could get a copy of each.  There's an example of how it works given in the FAQ.
    It's a good thing actually because you probably will never have an opportunity to get a better offer on Adobe products than when you're a student.

  • Can I use Web Premium CS5 ( student / teacher edition) for charity / voluntary purposes?

    Hello All,
    Can I use Dreamweaver CS5 for voluntary work as it is non commercial, I have the Student / Teacher edition. If the answer is no I have also got the full version of
    Dreamweaver CS4, so would I have to uninistall Web Premium CS5, student / teacher edition, to use this to prevent any problems?
    Thanks,

    Thanks all for your help, I'll contact Adobe Support just to clarify.

  • Student/teacher edition CS5 re-install on new OS

    Purchased student/teacher edition of CS5 a couple of years ago.  Updated computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 and tried to re-install CS5.  Get error message "The serial number is not valid for this product."  Help?!

    How did you upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7?  Did you format the computer and then install Windows 7?  Also do you have any other Adobe Creative Software installed on your computer?

  • Can I install CS5 student teacher edition without using the disk on my 2nd computer as I do not have a disk drive

    I have CS5 student and teacher edition. I have a CD. I want to install it onto my mac book pro (2nd computer), can I do this without using the disk.

    Thanks very much, well I'm still struggling.
    The link kind of worked [took a couple of hours ] but then I wasn't able to fully install it, it said it was partially installed and I didn't know where to go from there. A red disk appeared on my desk top, I clicked it and another window appeared but then I couldn't do anything with it. It said I had to access the download manager but I don't know what a download manager is, it certainly isn't where my documents download to.
    My original CD is for student teacher edition which I still fall under, I have a serial number for that edition.
    If you are able to shed any further light on this I would be very grateful.

  • Installing CS5 Standard Student Teacher Edition

    I downloaded a trial copy of the CS5 Standard Edition.  The trial has expired.  Our school purchased a copy of CS5 Standard Student Teacher edition. After installing in and launching a program, I get the message they my trial has expired.  I try to enter my license code, but nothing types in the boxes.  How do I completely uninstall the software and reinstall so I can enter the license key?

    Davidmad your serial number should be numbers only.  Perhaps you are reviewing a coupon code or product code depending upon your region?  I would recommend looking at the Student and Teacher edition portion of Find a Serial Number.

  • CS5 Student & Teacher Editions & Commercial use (in Australia)

    specifically student editions not educational version.
    I know that in CS4, commercial use is only valid in the USA.
    It looks like the older "education version" is no more in CS5 and is replaced? by "Student & Teacher Edition".
    I have read in the FAQ from the USA Adobe website that this is allowed for commercial use:
    http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
    I have also seen the UK Adobe site that it is allowed for commercial use:
    http://www.adobe.com/uk/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
    the image is broken on this link. is this just a template that has been copied over from the USA website? or is this the official thing?
    I am from Australia and the FAQ has not been updated and still shows information for CS4.
    clicking on FAQ from this link on the australian site of Adobe links to the CS4 FAQ:
    http://www.adobe.com/ap/education/solutions/students/studentteacheredition/
    which is this link: http://www.adobe.com/ap/education/students/studentedition/faq.html
    though after some digging I have found the Australian link to the new FAQ but it also has a broken image and im not exactly sure if its the read thing or just a template again:
    http://www.adobe.com/ap/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
    they all state:
    Can a student or teacher use the Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?
    Yes. Those who purchase this product can use it for personal as well as commercial use.
    I havent found anything about "only in north america" stuff.
    anyway, i would assume that any purchase of CS4 now would have a free upgrade to CS5, right?
    If i purchase CS4 student edition (which here in australia isnt allowed for commercial use) and then get a free upgrade to CS5 (student & teacher edition (i would assume this would be the version CS4 student edition would get for the free upgrade? and assuming that commercial use of CS5 is now allowed in Australia for Student & Teacher Edition) would that mean that I can now use my CS4 student edition that was originally not allowed for commercial use then now be allowed for commercial use when upgraded to CS5 student & teacher edition?
    I hope that makes sense and doesnt confuse too much.
    I also posted up a thread about my eligibility if im a student that has finished classes and waiting to just graduate now. I was wondering if I may still be considered an eligible student to purchase.

    Hi, I think I have found an answer to this but I would still like to have it confirmed by someone from Adobe (please).
    I found a post at http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?3223-Lightroom-3-is-now-out&p=32387#post32387
    Where someone in the forum says they contacted Adobe NZ about this:
    I asked Adobe about the answer to the question about commercial useage - this was the reply I got
    This has caused some confusion as we have recently
    changed the policy around this. You are correct that it used to just be
    in the US however in CS5 we have changed this to be the case for all
    regions.
      In NZ Student and Teacher licenses can be used
    for commercial use both during study and after students or teachers have
    finished/left. I.e. a teacher can do freelance work on the side and
    still be eligible for the student and teacher pricing.
      When the next version of CS is released students
    who have finished their studies or teachers who have left the institute
    can upgrade to a commercial version at the upgrade price.
    We do not require them to upgrade so if they wish
    they can stay on CS5 indefinitely, when they do decide to upgrade they
    will need to purchase a commercial license. We have tiered upgrade
    pricing though so it works out cheaper for them if they do upgrade
    straight away.
      The main condition for Student and teacher is
    that it is installed on a private computer so cannot be installed at an
    institute (school, uni or poly). Instead, educational institutions must
    purchase the Education version.
    Student and teacher licenses are for home use on
    private computers for educational or commercial purposes for that one
    person. There is no serial number in the box and verification is
    required.
      Educational licenses are for use on an education
    institute’s (schools, unis or polys) computers, this is for educational
    use only and does not include commercial use. Single teachers should not be purchasing this type of license, the only people who should be buying educational licenses are educational institutions.
    I teach Photoshop and Illustrator at a Uni in Australia and would really like to be able to tell students if they can use the Student and Teacher editions for commercial use - If the above is true I think this is a very clever move by Adobe but it would be really good if they made it a bit clearer.

  • What's the difference between CS5 and CS5 Student & Teacher Edition?

    Hi,
    I've been browsing the education shop for Photoshop, and noticed that there's both a Photoshop CS5 Extended and CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Edition. Also there's a £45 difference between the two. Is there any difference at all in the program itself, or does the Student & Teacher Edition just have the added restriction of not being able to resell it? Surely there must be something to have a £45 difference.
    Thanks in advance.

    Same exact program.
    Student teacher version onc
    e you buy it, you own it and it cannot be transfered to someone else.
    Also, from reading other posts, you cannot upgrade. But that may vary depending on country?
    You also have to provide proof that you are a teacher or a student. 

  • I've heard 2 things:  1)that you can only register the cs5 Student Teacher edition once  2) that you can register the cs5 Student Teacher edition to up to 2 devices. Which one is true?

    I need to transfer my Adobe Cs5 software (Student Teacher edition) and license from my old Mac Book Pro to a newer Mac Air. I've heard 2 things:
    1)that you can only register the cs5 Student Teacher edition once
    2)that you can register the cs5 Student Teacher edition to up to 2 devices
    Which one is true? How do I transfer the software and software license?

    Regardless of what heard you can do registration-wise, which you only need to do once, you are allowed to have two activated installations.  There is no limit to how many times you might activate an installation, but you can only maintain two activated installations at a time.  So if you have two machines you can have the software installed and activated on both.  If you get a new (third) machine tyhen you would have to deactivate one of the other two machines' installations in order to activate/use the sfotware on the newest one.

  • Photoshop CS5 Student Teacher Edition

    I have recently bought a copy of Photoshop CS5 Extended Student Teacher edition.
    I have installed a copy on my main pc but does the license allow me to install a second copy on a laptop? A friend tells me that the EULA that I can so I thought I should check first.
    yours sincerely

    Yes, you can. Paragraph 2.3/2.4 of the EULA, if I remember correctly. Mobile computer and that...

  • Student & Teacher edition CS6 installation

    If I buy CS6 Design & Web Premium Student & Teacher edition/Mac for my high school classes can I get more than 2 installations? I was hoping for at least 4

    If you need 4 installs, you'd have to buy 2 licenses, but that's not possible with S&T pricing. Only 1 license per eligibility cycle/ year.

  • What's missing in the Student/Teacher Edition?

    I'm looking into purchasing the "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium Student and Teacher Edition."  I imagine, because it's the Student/Teacher edition, After Effects (as well as the other Adobe programs) will be missing some features/tools, that are only available in the non-Student/Teacher edition.  What are those missing features/tools?

    Nothing is missing.
    from the "Student and Teacher Edition FAQ":
    "Adobe Student and Teacher Editions are the same full versions of some of  our commercial software titles, priced at discounts for students,  faculty, teachers, and administrators.          "
