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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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...

  • Web Premium CS5 Student/Teacher Edition - Cannot Register :(

    I have a serious problem with a copy of  Student/Teacher Web Premium CS5 that I purchased in March 2011... 
    I am mother to 3 college students, we have 5 Macs in our house (27" iMac, 23" iMac and 3 MBPs).  We need all 4 of these registration activations to keep peace in our home.
    I purchased and activated a copy of Student/Teacher Web Premium CS5 on July 2, 2010. On March 24, 2011 I purchased an additional Student/Teacher Web Premium which failed to register. I understand why the registration attempt failed in March. I attempted to register again on July 15th and it has continued to fail.
    I've had a trouble ticket open with Adobe support since last Friday (15-July). I have isolated the problem, explained the fix, but the offshore support group has shown no interest in providing a solution for my problem outside the realm of their canned responsibilities. They are very disengaged - one guy offered me a cup of coffee while I waited on hold... how do you answer a stupid question like that ??? 
    Meanwhile, a system error in Adobe's licensing database has triggered my new purchase to wait until March 24 2012 before I can activate. This just blows-the brains out of the employees at the offshore company, causing them to read me passages from their training manuals each time I mention it.
    Does anyone know of a US BASED escalation path for support issues ?
    I have some VERY EXPENSIVE software in a box that's been sitting unused on a shelf for 4 months  
    I'm starting to question my decision to "Do The Right Thing" and register the software all under one account... 
    Perhaps in the future I should create a new account with a unique email address every time I purchase a product ?
    Thanks in advance -
    - Jane

    As a follow-up, I sent an email to [email protected] as recommended. Awaiting reply
    A silly side note, after waiting 4 months to re-install (per Adobe Support's instructions, back in March) I received the following conclusion from the off-shore support group :
    We apologize for the inconveniece. We did not realise that you have already
    purchased the application. We were under the impression that you wanted
    to apply for one. Unfortunately, the application you purchased on March
    2011 will not be approved and moreover the request has to be made within
    the 30 days of time.
    Therefore, you need to place a new order because this one will not be
    accepted. Also since it has already over 30 days since, you bought the
    product it cannot be returned.
    Did you catch that? My license request has been denied because it has been more that 3 months since I purchased the software - even though I was instructed to wait 4 months before attempting to re-register.
    UN-believable !

  • Question about CS5 Student & Teacher Edition

    Currently, CS5 is available at an 80% discount for the S&T edition. I was wondering if I were to buy and install it on my current computer, would I still be able to reinstall on a future computer? I'm not quite sure how licences work, or if it's a one computer download. Thanks.

  • 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:

    "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."

    Yes, Student and Teacher Edition products can be used commercially on your privately owned computer. They may not be resold."

  • 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!

  • 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.
