Enquiry regarding Educational version

Hi there.
I'm eligible for the educational version since I am still schooling and planning to get one, here in Singapore (South East Asia).
I would like to know if it were possible to use an educational version of adobe web premium which is bought through an Adobe Reseller not under volume license, for commercial work?
I have read some where that it is legal. So I need to clarify whether it is possible as I don't want to get into any trouble.
I hope adobe staff could answer this questions.
Thanks!

There's no Adobe staff here (well, there might be, but offically it's a user-to-user forum). If you want an "official" answer, you better call Adobe directly.
As to your question, I think it changes from country to country, but usually it's allowed.

Several Questions Regarding Educational Versions of Software

Alright, I have several questions regarding eduational software from Adobe. I will be attending school in the near future (now I am not enrolled in any type of school) and I notice that Adobe has huge discounts on 'educational software'.
What exactly is the difference between the 'retail' version of a program and an educational version? Do you need some sort of student ID to activate an educational version, or proof that you're in school, or anything special like that? I've noticed people selling unopened educational versions on eBay and from what I hear there are no differences between the software, but this makes me wonder... why the price difference?
Also, I plan on buying another Mac in the near future - probably for school. My second questions is - with this software (educational), can I put the programs on both my Desktop and my Laptop, or will they only work registered to one person on one computer? I've heard from people that serial numbers can only be activated so many times.
Final question. My hard drive recently crashed, and I lost a good bit of stuff and had to re-install everything. If this would happen again, can I re-install all of the Adobe programs to a new hard drive? Or am I going to encounter the whole 'serial numbers can only be activated so many times' thing?
Okay. I think that about does it. Any input would be great. Thanks.

In terms of contents, there is normally no real difference between the retail and educational/student editions. There may be some extra fonts or clipart in the retail version, but this varies from release to release and from product to product.
You must qualify to purchase an educational/student version. Such qualifications are listed on Adobe's website. Normally you must provide proof of such qualification to whoever sells such software licenses to you. You cannot buy now on the basis that you will be a student in the future. You must have the student status at the time of the purchase.
Unlike retail versions, educational/student versions of Adobe software are not transferable. Sales of such "unopened" software on eBay should be regarded with suspicion. Authorized Adobe resellers do not offer software sales on eBay. The software is either stolen, used (but repackaged), or pirated.
Most Adobe software, including the Creative Suite software, may be simultaneously activated on up to two computers owned and used by only one individual. The second computer is typically a mobile computer if the first computer is a home computer for students. For retail, typically the first computer is one's office computer and the second computer is a mobile or home computer. The computers are not to be running the software simultaneously. And no, two students can't share a single copy on two separate computers.
The software may be activated and deactivated but after 20 or so such cycles, you will need to call Adobe and explain what's going on to obtain any additional such cycles. If you are activated on two systems and a disk drive or computer blows out and you need to reinstall the software without having had the ability to deactivate on the blown system, Adobe's activation support group will normally grant you an extra activation, assuming that you don't have a record of abusing the priviledge (such as claiming your disk drive crashes once a month!).

Policy regarding updating CS2 Design Premium Education Version to full version of CS4

I currently have the education version of CS2 Design Premium, and would like to upgrade to the full version of CS4 Design Premium. Am I eligible? And at what price?

Buko, It is faster, but not enough for me to invest in the equipment ($300.+) & then pay the $60-$120. @ month for 2 years! ( the $120. gets ya about what speed a midrange phone line DSL offers at $25. a month) oh well AT&T keeps saying "any day now, any day" HA!
Neil, should anything created in the CS4 version be saved (i imagine) in a CS2 format so it can be opened If I decide or can't afford to update before trial runs out and if so can ya make a guess if I would be able to edit anything at all? (way not computer savvy!!) CS2/Studio8 is my first foray into digital design!
Thanks Again my friends, I am continuing to be amazed at what I can & do learn on these forums! Les
PS Thanks also to Adobe for these forums

Use educational-version for paid work?

Hello there!
A while ago I bought Adobe Production Premium 5.5 with student discount and I wonder however it is legal to use the student licenses for paid work. Like, selling a movie made in Premiere Pro. Is that allright?
Best regards,
Rasmus

I have had this conversation with the Adobe powers-that-be.
There is no "educational version". There is an "educational discount".
If you earned the right to the discount by being a student or teacher, then that is all that is required. Or, if you are the second user of a Home PC and the other person qualified for the discount, and you are using their license, then you are OK.
The point of the discount for students is that they will eventually grow up, lose the discount, and pay full price because the Adobe software is what they know and they won't want to change.
The point for teachers is that it gets used in classrooms where students see it, and the parents of the students may ask what software was used and they may buy it for their child, etc.
The idea is that once you start using software, it creates a loyalty and people habitually stick with what they know.
When my wife does little animations for her classroom, or when I help her with video, or I do Pro Bono work for the school, the parents are quite often interested in discussing how the results were created. I live fairly close to Silicon Valley and some of the parents are highly technical. I know for a fact that some have signed up for the Creative Cloud because of conversations we have had about the videos I shot of their children.
This is especially true when I shoot a concert or dance recital, and the parents do too. Then they see theirs, and they see mine, and are puzzled why mine looks better. Seems to have had more light, or is smoother. Or they really like the animated titles. Whatever.
Adobe knows this kind of stuff happens, and they encourage it with educational discounts. But there are no restrictions on the use of the software. Only on the qualification for the discount.

Education version of Cap2

hi
Does the education version have any limitations as compared
to cap 2 pro that anyone is aware of.?/ Is it the *same* as the
full version.. I note the Education version comes up in the cap2
start up screen..
I am running Cap2 and Vista and find it is quite unstable...
(this could be a RAM problem though) I am also having problems with
Audio but I see that others are too in Vista -Cap 2
thanks
p

philb8,
With regards to the Education version, everything should be
the same except the price and the licensing agreement.
Captivate 2 is not officially supported on Vista and as you
alluded to, there are any number of issues that can come up by
doing so. As I understand it, the next version will be fully
supported on Vista.

Upgrading from an educational version of Flash.

Hey all, I'm using Flash MX 2004 Educational and was wondering if it's possible to upgrade to CS3/CS4 from this package, or would I have to purchase the full product since it's only an educational version.
Regards, Phil.

If it is not clearly outlined in their web store, you'll probably need to contact sales at Adobe to see what they are offering as far as upgrades goes. I don't know if they follow the same allowances that Macromedia did, but there was a limit as far as how far back and upgrade to a new version would be allowed.

If you recently purchased this then it is not likely to be a valid sale/purchase. Adobe does not sell older versions of their products and no one but Adobe provides student/teacher licensing. If you purchased this some time years ago and it is only recently that you find you are not able to reactivate it with the original serial number you can try contacting Adobe Support thru chat and see if they will be willing to work with you to resolve this.

How many computers can I install Indesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 on with an Asia Pacific Education version?

I've tried to have a look around among discussions, however, as it's CS4 and thus pretty outdated at this point, I'm having to start something new.
This is not for me, but a community organisation that I am volunteering for that has the copies and has asked me to see if they're allowed to install it on another computer within their small office.
Thanks in advance for any information!

J,
I believe you can only install an educational version on one computer. But an educational version is for one student/teacher and cannot be sold/given away to others, so they may be far out already.
But you should ask someone from Adobe.
You may try Customer Care,
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
or Adobe Support (phone),
http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/adobe-connect-phone-numbers.html
but they may tell you that the version is too old for them to deal with.
If you wish, you may report your (lack of) findings here, so I can maybe ask someone to find the right someone to give the final answers.

How can I tell if I have an Education version?

Ok, this may be a dumb question, but I would appreciate some info.
I have FCE 3.5 and Aperture. I want to upgrade both to the newest versions.
I know I bought one of them with the education discount originally and that I can't buy the upgrade to that software. I will need to buy the full version.
Problem is, I don't remember which program is the education version. I would rather not have to pay full price for full versions of them both if I don't have to.
I think I remember reading once that the education version is supposed to have a message on the startup screen stating that is is an education version. Neither of my programs have any special labeling on the start up screen. Is there another way to tell?
Thanks,
Mike

In response to your "Why" question Ian, I want to upgrade for the AVCHD support. I am on the verge of buying the Canon HF100 camcorder. My old Canon Optura 200MC just gave up finally, and I would like to move away from the MiniDV format. I know iMovie 7 will do the job, but I really like the way FCE works and would rather stay with it.
As far as the lost features go, I read somewhere that I could still use the old Live Type, or at least import what it is missing. Is that correct?
I never put Soundtrack to much use, but I figure the old version will still be usable if I wanted to use it.
Thanks to you and Tom both for your informative posts. I have read many of them through the months and have learned a lot.
Mike

No Acrobat 9 Pro in Creative Suite 4 - Education version

Bought the CS4 box (education version). When I started the installation, the setup menu mentioned all programs indicated on the box. But Acrobat 9 Pro was not actually listed, it just mentioned that Acrobat Pro would overwrite any existing version but well, the option could not be SELECTED or DESELECTED. Then when it was all finished, I found no Acrobat 9 Pro in Vista Start Menu. And now if I run the setup again, as if I wanted to add or remove programs, there is not the slightest mention of Acrobat Pro in the list .... Tried to install an old evaluation version and give my box key number but ... this was refused ! could Adobe have "forgotten" to include Acrobat 9 Pro on the 4 CD's contained in the box ??????? Strange .. .Help ...Thanks Lydia

Which version of the suite did you purchase? Acrobat Pro is not included with every version.

I don't have any idea if the installer would mention it in a bundle that didn't include it.

Can I install CS5 (education version) in my 2nd computer?
