Education membership

Hi my wife write's child books.
I'm helping her with using a trial version of the creative cloud suite.
We have one desktop (iMac) where my account (adobe) is activated. 
My wife is also a teacher. Now we're wondering if we want to become a full member if we can still use the discount for teachers or do we have to make a whole new account for her?
I'm using it for her mostly cause i'm doing the technical part who she's doing the creative part :-)
We can prove of course she's working in a school withe copy's of teachers card's and paycheck etc. We can also prove we are really married and living together if that's a problem. :-)
thx

If your Adobe account identifies you, and you do not qualify for the discount, then she should create her own Adobe account since her credentials are what grants the discount.  If you already have a subscription then that would hopefully be convertible to a student/teacher subscription... but that is something you would have to take up with Adobe support thru chat or by phone.

What you do at the machine end is likely of no consequence to Adobe (they don't check whose computer account is in use), as long as you are not using the software simultaneously on different machines.

  • How do I switch from a standard membership to an educational membership?

    I have been a full member for two years. The school I work for has started an educational licensing program I'd like to join. I think I missed the renewal date by a week or so. Is there a way I can still change over?
    Thanks!

    Hi Andacar62,
    Please contact support to know about the complete procedure to switch over from your standard membership to educational membership:

  • How to switch from Regular CC Membership to Educational Membership

    I've been a member for about a year and a half paying full price for the CC membership, however I'd like to switch to the student CC plan.
    I'm Homeschooled, we previously bought Adobe CS5 with an educational discount after providing proof via a letter of intent to homeschool.
    Does anyone know how I can now switch my Creative Cloud membership to the Student edition?

    You would have to cancel what you have and buy new... after FIRST making sure you qualify

  • I have a photography month to month membership, but I'd like to switch to the educator membership, how can I do so? I didn't use my school email address to start this membership.

    I didn't register using my school email address. I would like to switch to the educator complete plan, Is this possible?

    Hi Susan,
    It would be a two-step process.
    First you have to cancel your current subscription.
    Next sign-up for Creative Cloud Student and Educators subscription. In this case you can register your .edu email as your new Adobe ID.
    The link @NedMurphy added, has a good step-by-step in it for cancelling your current month-by-month subscription.
    Once that is done, you can go ahead and apply for the Student / Educator subscription. If you want to check the eligibility requirements follow the following link: Student software discounts, student eligibility | Adobe

  • Change single, private Creative Cloud membership to one of our paid eductional licenses

    I have had a private, educational membership (that I pay for yet my institution reimburses each month) on my university owned office computer (mac). We have recently purchased a number of CC licenses for our lab, one of which will be dedicated my office computer and so I no longer have my credit card billed each month.
    What's the best way to switch that over??
    Thanks!

    Hello dan,
    as first steps please have a look there http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/membership-subscription-troubleshooting- creative-cloud.html and
    Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
    And if necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
    Good luck!

  • Can I add my wife to my Creative Cloud membership?

    I have a Creative Cloud educational membership and have CC installed at home and at school.  So far I have mostly used Indesign and Photoshop.  My wife is also interested in using those programs and possibly some others.  What is the simplest and least expensive way to get CC installed in her computers as well?  Does she need a separate membership?  Or can we perhaps be a two-person team?  Thanks very much!

    She will need to have her own account to use a 3rd computer

    -Windows or Mac does not matter... 2 on the same operating system, or 1 on each

  • CC Education requires Graduation Date

    I am planning on buying an Adobe Creative Cloud Student License, but I noticed in the registration/submission form, it requires a date of graduation. Since I am only 14, I haven't a clue when that date will be, so can I still buy this product, and how?

    No, it does not expire then.  All Adobe education memberships are paid (or prepaid) on an annual (12-month) basis – so your academic license would end when your subscription term does...
    However, because Adobe considers eligibility documents to be current if they are dated anytime within the past six months, then you may possibly be able to renew your plan at the student/teacher discounted rate even after graduation or leaving school.

  • Is there an educational plan for Creative Cloud outside the US?

    I am a university professor at PUC-Rio, Brazil. Some years ago I bought CS4 Master at educational price. Is there an educational Creative Cloud plan for me?

    Hi Simdjb,
    Educational plans are available outside of the US but not in your location unfortunately. I copied the list of countries the educational version is available from the Creative Cloud FAQ:
    Education membership is available in the following countries:
    Australia
    Austria
    Belgium
    Canada
    Denmark
    Finland
    France
    Germany
    Ireland
    Italy
    Japan
    Luxembourg
    Netherlands
    New Zealand
    Norway

  • Can you Pre-Pay 2-4 months at a Time?

    If I select the $49/month Creative Cloud one-year commitment Subscription, will I be able to pre-pay (for example pay 3 months at a time) rather than be billed monthly, since the monthly price is guaranteed to remain the same for the one year term?

    WalterSagm wrote:
    I see no mention of a prepaid one year plan so I'm guessing that is not an option. I'd like you (Adobe) to consider offering such payment option.
    An update here:
    It seems the company has been listening to what you requested...  Adobe has quietly begun offering a new direct pre-payment option for CC subscriptions.  This can be used to purchase 12-month plans for either individual or education memberships.  By paying annually in advance, students & teachers can now get an even larger discount.
    Also note that Amazon no longer sells the prepaid Creative Cloud key cards; they stopped carrying them late last year.  However, in addition to direct from Adobe, they can still be purchased elsewhere like at BestBuy.com.

  • Having some problems with links

    OK, I've used this way of doing this for a while, but recently I started having trouble with getting this to work.
    I have a site with a link to the organization's current newsletter.  I have a "previous page" link so that you can go back to the page you came from in the main site.  The newsletter opens up in it's own blank page.  This link no longer works and I have no idea why.
    This is the code that is supposed to make this link work:  <a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Previous Page</a>
    The second part of the problem involves the left sidebar links which are named achor links for within the newsletter page.  In the newsletter there are usually Program Recap articles which usually include a link to a separate page of event photos.  The page has the same sidebar links to the named anchors.  I used to be able to have these go back to the newsletter page to that named anchor.  But now I can't seem to make them work.
    What I've done in the past is to link back to the newsletter and at the end of this link to the page add the named anchor link like this:
    1112Visions_Iss1.html/#prezmessage
    Sometimes this works and sometimes not.  The problems don't end there.  Some of these links render the newsletter page with the photos some of the links go to a page that doesn't show the links.  At this point I have re-done all of the links, I have rebooted both Dreamweaver and Firefox and it just keeps doing the same thing.  I'm just baffled by this.
    I'll post the code for both pages in the hopes that someone can tell me what is not right and how to make this work.
    Here is the code for the newsletter's main page:

        <h2> <a name="prezmessage" id="prezmessage"></a>President&#8217;s Message</h2>
        <p><strong><img src="../images/Susan-Flaherty-photo.jpg" alt="Susan Flaherty" width="145" height="159" class="fltlft" />Dear Fellow HFMA Members,</strong></p>
        <p>Welcome to the 2011-2012 HFMA fiscal year. Thank you for your continued membership and support of HFMA.  I look forward to working with the members, the board of directors, and officers during the upcoming year to continue the success of the Northeast Ohio Chapter.  </p>
        <p>Speaking of success – I attended the HFMA Annual National Institute in June 2011 and was proud to be from the Northeast Ohio Chapter. Our Chapter won three awards – Gold Award for Membership Growth and Retention, Hottum Award for Education Performance Improvement, and a Yerger Special <img src="../images/Manfull_ANI_DSC_0027.jpg" width="200" height="200" align="top" class="fltrt" />Recognition Award for the February 2011 Patient Financial Services Program.  In addition, the Northeast Ohio Chapter had two of the three winners of the National HFMA Future Financial Leaders Award. The award recognizes those future leaders who provide innovative and exemplary performance resulting in organizational performance improvement. Congratulations to Jill Barber and Kelly Linson from Southwest Community Health System for receiving this award. Finally, as many of you know, National HFMA has performance targets relating to education, membership, certification, financial strength, and other matters for all chapters. Our Chapter achieved 100% during this last fiscal year in meeting these targets. While it is important to celebrate our past successes, I and the other chapter leaders realize that we are taking on a big responsibility to maintain this level of excellence. We will need the continued support and participation of the membership to ensure we continue to achieve this level of success.</p>
        <p>As part of planning for the upcoming year, the Chapter officers had the opportunity to meet the National HFMA Chair, Gregory M. Adams, FHFMA. His theme for the fiscal year is “Believe to Achieve.” Following is an excerpt of his comments and explanation of the theme. In health care today, it sometimes seems like we are being asked to do the impossible. The industry is preparing for an influx of millions of newly insured patients in a reform environment where payments are shrinking and expectations around quality are growing. &quot;Believe to Achieve&quot; encompasses the keys to success in this new environment. It reflects the need to believe in your organization's mission and in others who share your dedication to achieving that mission. It means believing in yourself and in your ability to step out of your comfort zone into the new roles and responsibilities required to succeed in the reform era. Last but not least, it means believing in the possibility of a better future. In health care, there have always been naysayers who believe that the problems of the day are just too difficult to overcome. Their voices have been particularly loud, of late. But you can choose to believe that a better future is within reach, and to dedicate your professional life to making that happen. You can only achieve what you believe. </p>
        <p>Finally, I want to thank all of you who volunteered your time to Chapter activities over the past year. The fact that you chose to devote part of your time to HFMA indicates the value you perceive in your membership. The strength of any chapter lies in its volunteers. I hope you are able to attend the annual volunteer appreciation outing on August 31, 2011 to celebrate the successes of our Chapter, hear presentations on relevant industry topics, and enjoy a networking round of golf or visit to the spa. We are always looking for members to get involved and continue the long tradition of volunteer service that has been a hallmark of our Chapter for many years. Please don't hesitate to contact me, one of the other Chapter officers or directors, or a committee chair if you are interested in volunteering. </p>
    I look forward to a great year and hope to see you at an upcoming HFMA event.
    <p>Sincerely,</p>
    <p>Susan Flaherty<br />
      President<br />
      Northeast Ohio Chapter of HFMA    </p>

    <p>The North East Ohio Chapter (NEOC) of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) continues to encourage members to pursue and achieve certification as a Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP).  </p>
    <p>Many members who successfully pass the exam are eligible for reimbursement from their employers for some portion of the examination fee and/or on-line study material fee. To encourage and assist those members for whom employer reimbursement is not available, the Chapter offers a limited financial award program through the Chair of the Certification Committee. <br />
      <br />
      <strong>Current CHFP Award Program</strong> <br />
      Effective June 1, 2011, the NEO HFMA Chapter Board has approved annual funding for a maximum of 5 awards of $200.00 each for successful completion of the CHFP exam.  NEO HFMA members who have successfully completed the CHFP exam on or after June 1, 2011 and who will NOT be reimbursed by their employer for any portion of either the examination fee and/or the online study material fee are eligible to apply.  Chapter awards will be issued to the first 5 approved applications.</p>
    <p><strong>Reimbursement Application Procedure </strong> <br />
      Upon successful completion of the CHFP exam, a member who will NOT be reimbursed by their employer for any portion of either the examination fee or the on-line study materials may complete and submit an NEO HFMA expense form in application for a financial award.<em>  </em>A copy of the exam result e-mail notification and a release authorizing HFMA National to confirm that the member has passed the exam is required. Application for the award must be made within 8 weeks of receiving exam results. The funds allocated to members will be reviewed annually and is subject to change at the discretion of the Chapter board. </p>

        <h3><strong>2011 GHALI</strong></h3>
        <p><span class="style24">by </span>Lisa Hilling    <span class="style24"><br />
          </span></p>
        <p>The 2011 GHALI was held at the Glenmoor Country Club in Canton, Ohio. This historic and tradition filled site, initally started as a seminary high school for boys preparing for the priesthood.  In addition, this classic gothic building was built during the years 1930-1931 with the first class starting in late October of 1931. The building contains approximately 167,000 square feet. The Wolstein family purchased the 381 acres of land and building in 1989 that many considered to be one of the most desirable tracts in Stark County.  After two years of renovation, the spa portion of the club opened in December of 1991. On July 1, 1992 Jack Nicklaus took part in the gala celebration which opened the golf course. The Grand Opening of the Clubhouse in September of 1992 followed.<br />
          <br />
          Our theme for this year’s event was “Entering the Era of Accountability”.  As a result, the conference included educational sessions led by healthcare industry leaders and a variety of pertinent topics. Highlights included a panel discussion, “How Organizations Develop Vendor Relationships” for which there was standing room only attendance as well as sessions led by prominent professors, politicians and other professionals. Attendees were given opportunities to research products and services present at the vendor booths during vendor fair times and throughout the 2 ½ days. In keeping with tradition, the networking opportunities were abundant, starting out with Wednesday’s always very popular casino night. Thursday’s networking events included your choice of an 18 hole golf scramble, a visit to “The Spa at Glenmoor” or a enjoyable wine tasting event followed by an evening banquet which enable our attendee to sample more of Glenmoor’s fine cuisine. We concluded that evenings events with music, Texas Hold-em and “minute to win-it” activities, as well as entertaining karaoke by our members. <br />
          <br />
        Special thanks to everyone who participated on the GHALI Planning Committee for a job well done. The planning for next year is already underway and we welcome your input. Please make sure to watch for details of next year’s conference so you won’t miss out on everything this event has to offer.</p>

    <h3><strong>Healthcare Hot Topics – Part 1</strong></h3>
    <p>by Brian Nestor</p>
    <p>The Healthcare Hot Topics seminar was held at the beautiful new state-of- the-art Ahuja Medical Center in Beachwood, Ohio on June 23, 2011. The Rosenberg Conference Suite was filled with more than 50 attendees, there to hear about hot topics in healthcare today. <br />
      <br />
    Ahuja President James Benedict welcomed the attendees and talked to the current &amp; future state of the Ahuja Medical Center. He was followed by Gigi Umbel who went over the layout of the hospital and spoke to the challenges as a Finance Director of a new hospital.</p>
    <p> The three healthcare topics covered at this program were:</p>
    <ul>
      <li><em>Challenges of Compliant Research Billing</em> by Katherine Hammerhofer of University Hospitals</li>
      <li><em>Community Benefit – 501r and Schedule H </em> by Keith Hearle of Verite Healthcare Consulting</li>
      <li><em>Auditing Healthcare Entities</em> by Julie Osredkar &amp;  Michelle Stuhler of KPMG</li>
    </ul>

        <p align="left"><strong>Could Automated Hand-Wash Checks Reduce Infections—and Costs?</strong><em>Note: This article originally appeared in HFMA’s Healthcare Cost Containment newsletter (<a href="

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?

  • Urgent: how to change my residence country, in order to get the right amount billed

    Hello Creative Cloud Community and Support. I'm contacting you since I have this big problem. One year ago I, when I was on an exchange study program I found myself in Israel. When there, I tried to download my  free photoshop creative suite ( I was enrolled in a photography school so I was having an 'educational membership' ). At that time I contacted adobe support who was very gentle, unfortunately in the end we discovered that there was no way to have the programs in Israel. When I returned to Italy - still with some problems -  I managed to download them and the problem was solved. Now the educational membership has expired, I'm no longer a student and I want to subscribe myself to one of adobe's plans BUT when I come to the paying , my residence is still set on Israel and the amount is set in NIS . And I can't change it. It's written also that I will pay an extra amount due to international transfers and so on.... I copy it here under:
    " Even though prices are stated in your local currency, this transaction may constitute an international transaction, since you are purchasing from Digital River Ireland Ltd., an Adobe-approved e-commerce reseller. In addition to the price charged for the software, your credit card or bank may levy additional bank or credit card fees or fees for currency conversion. Please verify with your credit card or bank whether additional amounts will be charged before you make your purchase. "
    also in the little space to complete ' country' I can only choose Israel.
    well maybe this could be right if I would be still living in Israel, but I'm not!! How can I fix this? Many thanks for any help you'll be able to give me.

    contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

    Hello,
    my lightroom mobile expired even thoug i have a creative cloud subscription. Teacher and student. Can you please help me?
    regards,
    richard

    Hi Richard,
    please read this article here http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-mobile-available-education-memberships.html  You purchased a subscription that specifically does not include Services such as Lightroom mobile.  - Guido

  • Lightroom Mobile is only in trial mode

    I am subscriber to a single application for Adobe CC - Adobe Photoshop CC
    I have my own full payd version of Lightroom 5.5
    But my Lightroom Mobile Plugin is only it Tial mode.
    Am I not quafified for a full working Lightroom Mobile Plugin.
    Any help will be appreciated I have only about 19 days left of the Trial App

    Not sure if this is your case-but could be (for others also) and not very well documented by Adobe. If you have an educational membership of CC then Lightroom Mobile is not included sad to say. I found out the hard way after many hours with tech support. At a loss as to why this should make a difference.
