Education Edition Questions

So according to studentdiscounts.com.au, an official Adobe UK FAQ and I found a post on this forum saying, you can use this suite to do commercial work (its the Student Edition that's cheaper, that you cant)
Licensing shouldn't be dramatically different in Australia should it?
Sorry, I'm just being overly careful. Been using Gimp and InkScape for a while, but getting excited about buying this suite :) Just replaced my old 80 gig HDD for a brand new WD 640 Gig HDD to make way for the suite :) Might grab another two gig of ram (to make 4 gig), soon too

"Adobe Education editions can be purchased by students, teachers, and educational institutes. Commercial use is permitted with Adobe education versions. Click here for further details."

"Student question
"I'm very interested in buying the Education version of Adobe Creative Suite, but first I want to know if the software can be used to produce work for paying customers once I am working in the industry, or do I have to buy a different version of Creative Suite once I'm working in the industry?
Answer
Good news! You can use Adobe Education software (any title!) to produce commercial/professional paid-for work when you leave school, or even while you are in school. In this regard, Adobe does not limit how student software is used. So students can use it to learn and to make money!"
-------------------EndQuotes-------------------------------------------

well I called. And apparently there is conflicting information on the topic because licensing only changed recently.
But yes you can use it for commercial work in Australia (apparently. although it seemed like an off-sure call centre (which usually don't seem very definitive or educated on all matters), and the info he originally gave me was wrong, and I had to get him to dig a little deeper.)
PS: But I went ahead and ordered, should arrive in the next day or two :)

  • 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.

  • I bought Photoshop CS6 Extended(education edition) for Mac. Now ik want to install it on my (new) macbook. I have the product code and serial number. I receive an error code: may be a false copy. How can I install this program?

    In 2012, I bought Photoshop CS6 Extended (education edition) for Mac. Now I want to install it on my new Macbook. I have the correct serial number and product code, but I receive an error message: the software may be a false copy etc....What to do?

    Here is a copy of the error
    This means : Installation failed.
    Verification of the Adobe Software failed
    The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

  • Please help!! Can't find "simulate download" in flash cs4 educ. edition

    Hi there,
    Would someone pls help me on this one?  I have the education edition of CS4 Flash pro and I can't find the simulate download/bandwidth profiler anywhere in the "View" menu where it is supposed to live.  Is it hidden somewhere, or is it not included in my version?  I thought the only difference between the education edition and the retail was the licensing.
    I have been searching for days for an answer and it makes testing my preloader very difficult.
    Thanks for any help

    Wow, i feel embarassed.  That was it!! Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Education Edition

    I was given an uninstalled Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Education Edition by a guy who purchased the wrong product.  He purchased a PC version but he has a Mac.  He was unable to install it and unable to return it because the package was opened.  He did however get a little way into the www.adobe.com/go/edu-validate system.  He apparently got far enough into that process to enter the temporary product code and connect it to his email address.  When I enter the product code, it asks me for the original email address.  I don't have the guy's contact info.  Is there any way to reset this so I can install the product?

    Chances are it will be up to this guy to manage any reset.  It will probably require transfering the license to you formally. 
    When you do get in touch with this guy again have him follow the requirements outlined in the page linked below.

    If you think you would like to try to convince someone at Adobe to make this change for you you can try by using the contact options linked below.  But don't get your hopes up if the story remains at some guy who you can't contact gave it to you.

  • Problem purchasing CS5 Design Premium Educational Edition

    Hi all,
    I want to purchase the CS5 Design Premium Educational edition.
    I live/work in Singapore and am attending distance learning at the New York Institute of Photography. While my classmates are enjoying the benefits of using CS5 with student discount, I am stuck using GIMP, which while good, does not offer the same functionality or stability as Photoshop.
    The reason Adobe customer services give is that it's because I live in Singapore but my educational credentials are from USA. These need to match for the purchase to proceed.
    Surely this should not matter? Does anyone know of any way I can make this happen?
    Many thanks

    Negativ3,
    This forum is not officially monitored by Adobe. It is a user-to-user forum. As such, the answers you get are primarily speculation and not authoritative when it comes to sales and licensing issues. My recommendation would be to call Adobe Customer Support and ask to speak with a supervisor. Explain the situation that although you are resident in Singapore, you are part of a distance learning, internet-based course based in New York with the New York Institute of Photography. If the supervisor cannot assist you, ask to be connected to a manager. Eventually, you should be able to talk with someone who understands your situation and can resolve the issues.

  • Serial number issue for Acrobat in CS3 Web premium education edition.

    Hi everybody. If anyone can help me on this issue, I would really appreciate it. So far, customer support hasn't been very useful. So here is the issue.
    I bought CS3 Web Premium for my 2.16ghz macbook and it was purchased through apple. Anyway, it came with the main disc to install all the applications of cs3 and another disc to install acrobat 9. The way an education edition works is that I don't receive an actual serial number. I receive a product number which I have to enter, along with my info and proof of eligibility on this website called myidentit-e.com When this was all said and done, I received an email that contained a serial number. This serial number worked on all of the regular cs3 applications but not on acrobat 9. There was no other product code included and the directions inside the case said that I should be able to use the same serial number for both the regular cs3 and acrobat 9. Customer service's suggestion was to call apple since I bought it from them but what would they know about that? Adobe seals the products and I'm assuming that Apple is only a reseller.
    Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

    We've also had this problem. It looks like neither Adobe, My Identit-e nor Adobe will take responsibility for fixing this. All CS3 programs work except for Acrobat, which won't accept the serial number.
    Support requests to adobe have resulted in our request simply being "closed" without any actual response from the company.
    Has anyone had any luck with obtaining help from any of these companies? Any advice is appreciated.

  • Serial number incorrect for Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended education edition

    I received a serial number for my Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended education edition, but I get the message: this serial number is not valid for this product.
    Apparently it's not possible to send an email to Adobe NL, so I hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi there
    I've checked your record and it looks like you've been provided with a CS6 serial number instead of CS5.
    Please provide the details from the bar code label on the box & I'll arrange for the correct serial number to be sent to you.
    Kind regards
