Education (not student) License Query

Hi,
I'm a full-time mature student in the UK, in the middle of a 4 year course, and I'm interested in purchasing Adobe software.
I'm well aware of the Student License available, but also aware of it's limitations, that it can 'never' be used for commercial use.
That's a little restrictive, as I'm not sure what I may do with the software in the future.
However, there also appears to be an Education License here in the UK, which is for teachers and students, and permits the software to be used commercially if desired.
My query is, it appears that the Education License is limited to students and teachers, "at an accredited Educational Establishment."
The college I attend is independent, and receives no government funding. Does that mean I'm not entitled to purchase an Education Licensed version of Adobe software?
Please help. Thanks.

There is no difference except for the packaging.

Use Powershell to bulk activate office 365 Education E1 Students license for 900 synced users

Hi,
We have synced 900 users and we need to active "Office 365 Education E1 for Students" (STANDARDWOFFPACK_STUDENT) license for them using the powershell.
With the following command I am able to activate one user at a time; Is there anyway to do it to bulk users ?
Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -AddLicenses "teamxxx:STANDARDWOFFPACK_STUDENT"
And also with the "Office 365 Education E1 for Students" activation I only want "Office Online for Education" to be activated but not "Lync Online", "Sharepoint" and "Exchange Online".
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

You have to get instructions from them on which keys are to be activated. YOuo need to activate each product. YOu are only activating the base product. Lync and Visio are optional licenses. It is not a PowerShell issue;
Notice this parmeters is plural for a reason:
-AddLicenses
"teamxxx:STANDARDWOFFPACK_STUDENT"
You can put an array of licenses. STANDARD is just the base office product. Ask themfor the license strings for the other or look at them online.

Exchange is part of Office365. I don't see how you can not have it. Youc can control which products are downloadable.

I need to reinstall my CS3 creative suite I bought with a student license. It allows me to install but never asked for the serial number. I can open the programs but can not use them, get a "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly" message.

I bought a CS3 creative suite on a student license in 2008. The original MAC laptop has died and I am trying to install it on a MAC desktop. the programs installs successfully but never ask for a serial number. the programs will open but I can not open any files, I get a Adobe Updater quite unexpectedly message. Is this because the serial number has not been entered? I have tried chat about this problem twice, also use Adobe connect and was not helped. How do I enter this serial number?

activate is grayed out. Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet" So I select "submit again" and nothing happens. Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message.

Change from regular license to student license

Dear Community, dear Adobe!
Last year, I got invited by Adobe to the "Random Acts of Creativity". that Invitation included a free 3-month license for the creative cloud.
When I now check my Adobe ID, the account owner is "Peter Griffith" (which is obviously not me) and he holds the license for my creative cloud.
This license is running out in 2 days and what I want to do is change from this regulart license (which is 70 € a month) to a students license, as I am a student. Where and how can I change this?
I know, it's a kind of specialized problem but I couldn't find it in the support area and there's also no option to ask directly in a chat or give a call so I'm goona try it here!
Thanks for your help,
Daniel

CS5 Student License after Graduation

Hello,
I have a quick question about CS5 Design Premium and a student license.
I have been using CS5 as a media production minor at Purdue. However, I am graduating soon. My question, can I still use my license after graduation for personal use? Such as, editing photos, updating my website, etc. I have read the student agreement, and it states:
"...If a product version changes, however, current students, faculty, and staff my purchase the new version to continue to take advantage of the spectacular discounts offered in this program. If a student has graduated and is no longer eligible for education discounts, he or she may purchase a standard commercial upgrade of the new version."
That was regarding upgrades, and would suggest that Adobe is saying that a current student should just buy the new version at a discount and consider that the upgrade, and graduated students are not eligible, but can still upgrade as any normal user could.
So my question is simple, can I still use CS5 after graduation, as I always have? Also, if I choose to upgrade to CS5.5 at some point in the future, I can still purchase the upgrade like someone who bought CS5 outright, correct?
One other question, while we're here. If I buy a new Mac well after graduation, let's say two years from now, and I am able to continue with my current license, can I deactivate it from my current computer and install it on a new one? Still using one activation, just on a newer computer.
Thanks, I greatly appreciate the help in clarifying this matter.

For some reason, I was under the impression I need to uninstall CS5 and destroy my activation key.
Whether it matters or not, just so my status here is clear, my degree is through Purdue, but I attend a university that is both Purdue and Indiana Univsersities, and my Adobe discs have the IU logo on them, in addition to the standard Adobe print and so on. They were purchased through the university bookstore, and I signed all necessary forms and provided the proper identification. Thanks.

Stipulations for student license are???

Hi there,
I'm taking some courses at a local college regarding Web Design and I want to purchase the Web Premium but would like to know what the regu;ations are when you have a student license?
Thanks,
Jeff

KarimS first I would recommend checking your account at http://www.adobe.com/ you have opened three separate cases with our support team and all three are pending your response.
It also looks as if you are in North America and did not purchase your education software from Adobe directly. Please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4634728#4634728 for information on how to submit your proof of eligibility. Once you have submitted your proof of eligibility, and it is approved, you will then be given access to your subscription.
I would also recommend that your education e-mail address when submitting your proof of eligibility. This will help expedite the process of you being made eligible.

Upgrading a student license to commercial

Hey,
I'm posting to ask how much it costs to upgrade a student license of CS3 Design Premium to the commercial license - it's unclear in the Adobe online store.
Can anyone help?

Hi everyone,
Was there any resolution to this last question? Is the Adobe Student Edition a newer incarnation different from previous educational/academic licenses?
As Walter mentioned, the Adobe Student Edition FAQ page seems to be at odds with the other information, as it states:
"Adobe Student Editions are for installation solely on private computers and for non-commercial purposes only."
I would be truly, truly appreciative if somebody could once and for all help shed some light on this subject for me. I've gotten so many differing and conflicting responses from web queries, EULA readings, and Adobe customer service.
My long-winded post today is spurred on by the confusing response from Adobe customer service that I received today. It read:
"With regard to your concern to use Adobe Educational Software for
commercial purposes, I need to inform you that the educational versions of our software are specially priced for qualifying students and faculty. Even though they are restricted for educational and
institutional use only, educational versions are fully functional."
Are the products restricted in terms of who can use them, what qualified users can use them for, or both?
I'm a student (in North America) and received my CS3 Design Premium through my school over a year ago, but I'll be darned if I know how to tell what license I exactly have. Looking at the DVD case in front of me, it says "Student Licensing." I've read the EULA, which basically says you can use the software if you qualify as an educational end-user. Does that mean you have to qualify when you buy it, or forever on? How do I know if my version different from the above mentioned Adobe Student Edition which does, indeed, restrict commercial use?
I'm not sure if this will help anybody help me understand, but I do know that a couple hundred of students (both undergrad and graduate) are enrolled in the same Adobe license deal as I am, so I'm guessing that is probably some sort of volume licensing.
It would be absolutely wondrous to know once and for all that it was OK to use my software for commercial purposes both during school and after graduation, as it seems like a shame for the software to become legally derelict if not upgraded.
If anybody has any thoughts, it would be fantastic to hear them.
Dov, you seem to be a beacon of Adobe clarity, so I would love any advice you might have.
Thanks so much!

I'm horribly confused about student licensing and commercial use

As the title says I'm horribly confused about student licensing and using it for commercial use.
I currently have a Student Licensing version of Adobe Creative Suite 4 that I purchased through my school's journeyEd portal.
Seeing how CS5 is now out I was browsing looking at prices (why not upgrade while I'm still a student, right?) and while browsing I bumped into one source that says that Student Licensing can not be used for commercial purposes, and this is when the confusion started. I remember reading before that we are able to use student licensing for commercial purposes, okay time to google search. I found one Adobe FAQ that says I can. .
http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
" Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?
Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use. "
and I found this old thread;
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/314304
Where an poster listed as an employee of Adobe states
"There is no upgrade from the CS3 Educational Edition to the comparable CS3 editions sold in non-academic environments. If you have an educational version of for CS3 obtained legitimately (i.e., you qualified for the educational version when you obtained it), you may continue to use that software for the indefinite future, even for commercial use! You cannot sell or otherwise transfer that license, though! When the next version of the Creative Suite is released, you will have two choices: (1) If you still qualify for the educational version, you can buy a copy of that next version (there is no special upgrade pricing from one educational version to another; the price is already very low) or (2) you can upgrade from the educational version of CS3 to the full version of the next version of the Creative Suite as an upgrade from CS3 at the prices published at that time. "
Okay cool, hmm what this? Adobe is asking me if I want to IM with live costumer service agent, sure why not? Then the conversation started and I asked her my question about using my CS4 license for commercial use, she asks for my product code and email to verify my product, then informs me I can purchase the upgrade version of CS5 and use that for commercial, okay great, but not really answering my question. I reword it and give her a link to that FAQ page it goes like this. ..
"[CS Rep] : [My name], I would like to inform you that Adobe Student and Teacher Editions are not allowed for
commercial use.
[CS Rep] : However, you can upgrade your current software to a normal upgrade version, and you can continue
using it for commercial purpose.
[Me] : Then is the FAQ page mistaken? Because it is very misleading if it is. But thank you for the information.
[CS Rep] : You are welcome.
[CS Rep] : I apologize for the misleading information in the FAQ."
. .And after that, I went back to being confused.
SO my questions are. . . Can I or can't I use my Adobe Creative Suite 4 student licensing for commercial purposes? and If I purchase a Student Licensing of CS5 can I use that for commercial purposes as well?
Sorry for the long post, I just want to be perfectly clear on what I can and can not do with my purchase.

The rules differ in various parts of the world. In North America you can use it for commercial work.
There are no student/academic upgrades. The pricing is so low that in many cases you're better off buying another full student license but you are eligible for upgrade pricing for commercial versions once you're out of school.
You may not transfer the student license in any way.

What's the difference between educational and student editions of Flash?

I qualify for both the educational and student editions of Adobe CS4, and I'm not sure which one to buy.
Does the educational version have any significant advantages over the student version?
Can the educational version be used for commercial purposes (I know the student one can't)?
Are there any extra features or templates that are only available in the educational version and above?
Can I transfer the liscense for the student version to another computer?
My trial version lasts only 5 more days and I hope to have purchased a registered edition by than
Thanks in advance for any replies

Thanks I did some further research
and
According to http://www.studentdiscounts.com.au
The student edition:
...Limit of one per customer per 12 month period can be purchased.
Students will be required to provide Adobe with proof of their current student status to install the product. Students must be enrolled in a degree-granting program at an acceptable Education Institution (being a bona fide university or college including community, junior and vocational colleges or other further education colleges that grants degrees requiring not less than the equivalent of two (2) years of full time study) OR Students must be enrolled at an accredited public or private secondary school providing full-time instruction.
This software may only be used on a privately-owned computer. The product may not be used for commercial purposes.
The educational edition:
<Description same as full version with nothing mentioned about commercial purposes.>
unresolved/further questions:
There are some other people which say that the educational version can be used for commercial purposes. e.g.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=369107
http://www.designerstalk.com/forums/software/25666-adobe-student-licensing.html (POST # 14)
If one designed a logo/animation for a friend's small business would adobe consider that as a "commercial purpose".
As for the "...limit of one per customer per 12 month period can be purchased" really mean?
It kind of implies that the student edition is only activated for 12 months (an extended trail version)
According to http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=369107 the educational version can be upgraded but the student one can't.
Is this true?

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.

More then one student license on same account

Hello. Can i have more then one student license on same account. The 60% of thingy. One for home, one for work and one for the notebook. They may run simultaneously because of the friends using the computer. All 3 computers will use same account name and password.

You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
If you regularly need to use the Creative Cloud on more than two computers then it would be best to purchase an additional subscription. This is the same licensing btw which we have for our prepetual product. An advantage though for Creative Cloud over the perpetual product is that you can install on Mac and Windows with the same subscription!
As it stands, the EULA states that you can install it on up to two computers at a time, however, you cannot use applications on those computers simultaneously. This is the case even when you are not using the same application

Adobe Master Collection CS5 Student Licensing Use Questions

I have a desktop and a laptop computer and I want to install the software on both machines. I currently have it on my desktop machine ONLY. Does the student license allow you to install on two computers like the regular license does? I am fixing to have to format the hard drive of my desktop PC. Will I need to deactivate the software on my desktop in order to reinstall it after format if I can install on my laptop? I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on both computers. Thank you.

It seems you already know your way around some of the EULA documentation:
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
(Scroll down to Adobe Creative Suite CS 5.5, CS 5 PDFs)
I will continue to look for the EULAs for the Educational Store but you might find them before I do by visiting the Educational Store and looking around for the documentation.

Problem with WLS for Student License of Acrobat XI

Purchased a student version of Acrobat Pro XI. WLS is not giving me a valid serial number. Under serial number is says "Student Licensing". What next?

You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

Photoshop CS4 Mac Student License...

Hey guys!
Dan here..
I have a quick question about student licensing,
I plan in the new year to purchase Adobe Production Premium for mac on a student license,
But I also would like to install Photoshop onto another macbook as well as my main computer,
Under the terms of student licensing adobe say that you cannot be issued more than one serial for each product on a student license,
And Production Premium contains Photoshop CS4,
Would it be possible to order Production Premium and a seperate copy of Photoshop CS4 on a student license as i believe Production premium has only one license key as apposed to seperate keys for the seperate componants,
Any help would be awesome!
Thankyou!
Dan

That's nice though a bit of an hassle, if you ask me. Activating and deactivating all the time might be time consuming.
As for the upgrading to full version, I'll be back to you on that in two weeks. I'll have completed my degree. In my understanding, my student license gives me the "two comupters not running at the same time" priviledge. Would be nice to have a third activation upgrade. Just in case.
Oh! and if you're wondering I think that the activation software looks at the computer's IP adress for activation. Had a problem with my hard drive and had to reinstall everything (even the OS) on a back-up drive. I reactivated Photoshop and asked an Adobe representative to see if I had used up all my activations. Nope, had used only one. So I guess you can install as many times you want on the same computer as long as it doesn't change location.

Student License for commercial-use, in Italy

Hi there!
I would want to buy a student license for Flash Professional CS5, but I have some doubts about it.
Can I use this kind of license for commercial use, like creating websites for works, or selling my games on Steam?
I've read a older topic, and someone said that policy varies depending on the states, so I would like to be sure before buying it.

Hey there Attilio, you should find the answer in the student edition FAQ for your country:
