Education upgrade

Is it really not possible to upgrade my educational version from Studio 8 to Studio 9? I bought Logic Studio for my home computer to see if we wanted it for my school lab. Got the educational discount. We ordered it for school but by the time the order was placed, version 9 came out so that is what was delivered. Now I need to upgrade my home machine for lesson planning. Why can I not pay an upgrade price? Full educational price is $450 as compared to the regular upgrade price of $299. Feeling pretty ripped off here, since I don't do any audio production of my own, but teach it. A lot of out of pocket expense to spread the word for Apple.

If you've recently purchased Logic 8 for education purposes, then you MAY still be eligible for this ( this is from the UK store, I don't know your location ) :

I'm a little confused about the Licensing aspect though,maybe somebody further up the tree can explain it a little better.

CS6 Education Upgrade?

We purchased Production Premium CS5.5 with the education discount in November of 2011, just before the CS6 announcement. We want to upgrade to CS6, but can't find education upgrade pricing. Will we have to pay the full upgrade amount? Seems a bit unfair, within 6 months.
Where, on this huge Adobe website, do we go.
Thanks,

There is no educational upgrade. You can purchase an upgrade (to the the commercial version) or you can purchase a new educational license (usually as inexpensive as the upgrade price or less expensive).

Is there an educational upgrade from PS CS5.1 to PS CS6?

Is there an educational upgrade from PS CS5.1 to PS CS6?

Educational versions can be upgraded to a commercial license, but you do not get an educational price break, simply because the cost of a new educational version is cheaper than a commercial upgrade if you still qualify for educational pricing.
If you no longer qualify, then, yes, you can upgrade to a commercial license at the regular commercial upgrade rate,

Really? No educational upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 without paying full price?

We bought the CS5.5 educational copy for our daughter in college. Now she needs CS6. Called about an upgrade and was told there isn't one, that we need to buy a whole new version or use cloud with a monthly fee. Basically our CS5.5 is useless now! I have never been a big fan of monthly subscriptions either. What a rip off!

Useless? How so? Has it stopped working?
And I think you misunderstand the upgrade policy. You can buy a CS5.5 to
CS6 upgrade but there is no academic upgrade. If your daughter is still
in school she can buy the full CS6 student version or move to Creative
Cloud. If she's no longer a student she can get the CS5.5 to CS6
commercial upgrade or move to Creative Cloud with intro pricing of
$29.99/month for the first year.
The academic price of Creative Cloud is $29.99/month.
Your closing statement here was unnecessary. I suggest you check all of
your facts in the future before ranting, especially here. This is a user
to user forum, not a direct line to Adobe.

Dreamweaver 4 educational upgrade

I have DW4 educational edition. Can I upgrade to DW 8? Thanks
for the help

Correct although I would be surprised if adobe changed the
existing policy.
In the UK the educational price of a new version is not much
different from
what it would cost to upgrade.
Good marketing from Macromedia (adobe) in that it encourages
the legitimate
use of software to future professionals.

Educational upgrade

Hi,
We have 20 educational Premier Pro Cs5.5 Licenses at college for the students and we would like to upgrade them to the recent version.
I would like to know what do we have to do in order to upgrade them, what will be the process and what cost will it have?
Also, we are interested to buy 20 educational licences for the newest lightroom, so I will like some help in order to achieve all of this.
Thanks.

Current is the Cloud, which is a subscription, not a "forever license" version

UK education upgrade riddle

Upgrade activation key £79, upgrade box version £79, buying a new education version £59!! So, I can upgrade to a consumer version (which is exactly the same as the education version) but it will cost me £20 more. I just don't get the logic of this. Still, the full new education version is a good deal either way!

Sorry for the spelling I am dislex.....
The answer is people in education pictly students are on a limited income and so Apple kindley offer there products to theses people at a lower cost.
In the same way as meny other companys.
Please do not abouse this as Apple I am shour will stop this if people pertend to be in education when thay are not.

CS5 education Upgrade to CS6

Hi, I am a little confused about upgrade a edu version. I got a edu version of photoshop CS 4 extended, got the free CS5 (grace period) and now I want to upgrade to CS6. As I am no student any more I hope I can simply buy the regular upgrade without problems?

And now I am confused and angry.
My upgrade from CS5 Extended Edu to CS6 (no Edu) lead me to a standard CS6 without the extended features. I assume to get the CS6 Extended. What the...
Edit: I see now that I pressed the wrong button on purchasing the upgrade. Shame on me... The CS6 Extended upgrade is more expensive. So I have to deal with the support now...

Upgrading CS4 Design Premium to CS5.5 Design Standard

Hi.
I'm currently running the CS4 Design Premium software on my mac, but I want to upgrade to the latest software while I can still get the education price.
This time, however, I think I will get CS5.5 Design Standard rather than Design Premium to save money as I don't use Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks as often as I do the other programs.
So, my question is: If I upgrade Bridge, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to CS5.5, and Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks stay as CS4 versions, will this cause problems, or will they still be fine to use together?
Thanks.

My understanding of educational pricing is that it works for the first purchase of a Creative Suite product. Adobe is very generous because it lets you keep the product after you leave school.
However, there is no such thing as an educational upgrade price. If you want to upgrade your software, you pay the same price as everyone else. Upgrade pricing show shown on the Adobe website. (It's much too complicated for me to remember pricing for all the various upgrades.)

Education Version

Hi all,
I am about to buy the Education version of Creative Suite Production Premium for my son. But before I do I want to know one thing. Is the Education version identical to the commercial version?
i.e. is the Education version restricted like a trial version. Or do you get the complete package?
Thank you Tony

The trial version, the education version and the final commercial version are all one and the same application. The only difference is the license and how much it costs.
There will be a limitation on the license of the educational version in that there is no educational upgrade path, bit it can be upgraded to a commercial version.

Educational License Questions

Okay, I know yet another post about the Education license is going to try some people's patience, but I keep encountering contradictory statements on forums and even from Adobe customer service. Plus, Adobe doesn't seem to have a web page where this is all spelled out in simple language. If they do, a link would be greatly appreciated.
These questions pertain to a U.S. resident (since I think the rules are different outside North America). I am not talking about the (cheaper) Student license as that does not allow commercial use. So here goes:
1. I assume that while you are still a student you can upgrade under the Education license. Are those upgrades less expensive than the corresponding commercial upgrade prices?
2. What are your upgrade options after you graduate? Can you upgrade to the new commercial version at the regular commercial upgrade price or do you have to buy the commercial version outright?
3. Related to the last question, what happens if you graduate still holding the Educational license and haven't upgraded - can you still use PS for commercial purposes after graduation under the Educational license?
4. What restrictions would there be on other members of the family that use the same computer as the license holder?
Thanks.

The student version does allow commercial use in the US.
1. I assume that while you are still a student you can upgrade under the Education license. Are those upgrades less expensive than the corresponding commercial upgrade prices?
You can upgrade the student version as well as the educational version. the upgrade prices are the same, there is no Educational upgrade. If you are a student or educator buying a new version will be the same cost as an upgrade or cheaper.
2. What are your upgrade options after you graduate? Can you upgrade to the new commercial version at the regular commercial upgrade price or do you have to buy the commercial version outright?
You upgrade just like anyone else.
3. Related to the last question, what happens if you graduate still holding the Educational license and haven't upgraded - can you still use PS for commercial purposes after graduation under the Educational license?
Student and Educational Licenses both allow commercial use. the difference is Students are only allowed one activation.
4. What restrictions would there be on other members of the family that use the same computer as the license holder?
Educational license allows two activations. Desktop, Laptop. this does not mean it can be shared by siblings (Bobby get one computer Billy gets another) and you can only use one activation at a time just like the regular version. You can however let your wife or childuse the computer if you are not using it.

Boot Camp problems with Windows 7, and a new Macbook Pro

When I try to install Windows 7, when the process is almost complete and Windows is finalizing all settings, the system reboots then gets stuck at the white/gray bootscreen, and then tries to boot from disk, only to repeat the bootscreen cycle indefinitely. How do I fix this? Thank you very much.

My MAC BOOK is 13 inch, first generation of unibody that I bought when it first came out last November, 2009. It seems that the latest boot camp 3.1 does not support windows7 64 bits on my mac book model. I followed Apple instruction to upgrade boot camp 3.0 when running XP 32 bits. And I then upgrade my XP 32 bits to 64 bit Windows 7. The upgrade/installation was successful but I encountered a lot of problems with the mouse and sound.
1. No sound with my new Windows 7 64 bits.
2. I managed to make Windows 7 64 bit recognize my apple mighty mouse. But the mouse does not funtion normal as expected. It does not work with swiping and scrolling.
3. I could not re-install boot camp 3.0 from windows.old nor from the Mac OS X installation disk. When I tried to run setup.exe from the MAC OS X snow leopard, I got the error "Boot camp x64 is unsupported for this model"
I am really disappointed that boot camp 3.1 is not universally supported for all mac book or mac book pro.
I need help to re-install boot camp for my Windows 7? I bought the upgrade through education upgrade program and I selected to get 64 bit version so I do not want to rollback the installation to 32 bit.
Please help.

Fcp liscense key

hi i have an upgrade license key from final cut studio pro 2 and am traveling and need to install the program on my new laptop. my question is if the FCP Studio 2 full version install DVD's will work with my upgrade license key or are the license keys for the FCP Studio 2 upgrade discs different?
thanks
adam

The Final Cut Studio Full Retail, Education, Upgrade, and Not for resale installation DVD's are all the same. The difference is the serial number. If you are upgrading then you will need a previous retail serial number in order to complete the upgrade installation.

Photoshop CS2 Education to CS4 Upgrade?

I have Photoshop CS2 Education edition. Would I be able to buy the Regular CS4 Upgrade without any problems?

"There's no such thing as an educational-price upgrade, but your education version qualifies for the regular upgrade. "
www.studica.com sells educational versions of software. The cost for an enrolled university student is equivalent to the commercial upgrade for PS CS4 - so there is no gain by a previous PS owner in purchasing an educational version - other than to have two independent versions of PS.

Will a CS4 upgrade work with educational license version of CS3?

I would like to upgrade to CS4 but my version of CS3 is an educational license. I don't want to pay for an upgrade if it will not work with an educational license. Will I run into problems?

I just installed it and ran it fine. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Make sure it is a clean install from a fresh "boot". I ran into problems the first time when I tried to install it right after I installed another program. I simply uninstalled it.....which took a long long time, but after it was removed and I rebooted, everything went fine.
