Help with student licensing

Hello!  I purchased CS5 standard student edition from the university I was attending a few months ago for the discounted price.  I've used CS4 for two years, and am still registered as a student under that version.  My question is - Now that I graduated (in December), will I have any problems installing my new CS5 student licensed version?
Thanks for your help.
John

Hi John,
You said you already purchased it, but did you also prove your eligibility to Adobe and get a serial number? (they don't come in the student boxes)
If so, then you should have no problem after school... see the excellent Student FAQ.

  • Photoshop CS6 installation with student licensing and moving to Windows 64 bit?

    I purchased PS CS6 with student licensing. I was told that I can do two installations (or activations). My question is this: I am currently running Windows 7 32 bit, but I plan to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit later in order to increase my RAM. If I install CS6 now with 32 bit, is it considered a second activation if I reinstall it later under 64 bit, even if it is on the same machine? 
    Thanks for any information.

    You can install the PS CS6 on Windows 7 32 bit and use it , once you have to re-install the Windows 7 64 bit ,
    Open Photoshop , Go to Help --> Deactivate
    This will deactivate your existing actiavtion and then you can re-install PS on Windows 7 64 Bit , without loosing the activation count.

  • Small business needing help with additional license for CC for 3 months

    (I was prompted to ask a question as a first time user of the forum but it seems to have disappeared which is a little frustrating. So here I go again, hope this time it works...)
    I'm a small business with a single user license for Creative Cloud which I've been subscribing to for about a year now. I have a foreign student coming to do training and get experience with us for 3 months - as his area of learning is Adobe design he will need access to Adobe CC.
    I can't afford to buy a year's subscription for him but I was wondering if it would be possible to buy a 3 month's student license for Adobe CC. He starts on the 3rd of March so this is quite urgent...
    I couldn't find a contact number to talk to a sales person in Ireland so I hope some one can help me before the 3rd of March.
    Thanks,

    No pre-paid cards in Ireland it seems. And my only option for month-to-month is to create a new Adobe ID and get Adobe Apps at €25/app/month. I'd love to up-grade to the Team subscription but it seems I can't get out of my one-year subscription in time to take advantage of the offer that goes out of date by the end of Feb. My renewal happens in June which means if I cancelled I'd have to pay 50% of the remaining months on top of paying for the new team sub... Why is it so hard to just get my student covered for 3 months - Adobe doesn't like small businesses, I guess we're not worth the hassle... Frustrating.

  • Need help with student verification

    My daughter bought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on Amazon new and then we followed the directions on Adobe to verify she is a student in high school.  It has been 3 days and we still have not recieved the activation code to use our product?  The Adobe support is horrible (I have been on the phone for hours with no one ever answering) and there is nowhere to submit a ticket.

    Unfortunately there is no one in the forums that can do much to help you since most of us are product users like your daughter, and any employees here do not have much ability to process anything in your favor beyond possibly checking a status.

  • Help with logic License!!!

    Hi everyone,
    I have just started my own Music studio at home and i am currently running 2 macbook Pro 15. At the moment i am using Ableton live to create my music but i want to make the move into logic, I have spoke to customer service this morning about buying logic studio 9, they informed me that it comes with 2 licenses 1 for desktop and 1 for laptop. Will i be able to install this on both my macbook pro's? also on a side note both laptops are effectively hard wired and i do not intend to move them from where they are.
    Thanks in anticipation

    Pancenter,
    When i spoke to customer service he said it had 2 licenses, so didn't think i'd have that problem? is it the same serial?
    Thinking i might just buy 2 versions but that seams a waste to me as i don't really need 2 sets of discs.
    Cheers
    Right, you have a dual license to install on a desktop and laptop.. and yes, it's the same serial.
    However... it will not let you run both at the same time on a network. Logic checks to make sure another copy of the program with the same serial is not running.
    Before, when Logic used a dongle/key for copy protection you could install it on as many machines as you wanted.. but again, only one version at a time could be running, the one that had the hardware key.

  • Help with student edition

    can i uninstall and reinstall cs5 (student edition) to a new device.  i believe the student edition only permits installation on one device, but i've just purchased a new computer and want to know if following deactivation on my current device, i can install it onto my new device.  any help would be greatly appreciated.  i've read instructions on how to deactivate/activate etc, but none specifically addressed whether or not this was possible with a student edition.

    Hi christopherklinck,  Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.  Yes, you can deactivate software from one system and Install and activate on the new one.  If you face any issue please reply us back.  Thanks  Sandeep

  • Help with odd Licensing issue

    So I upgraded my MacPro a few weeks ago to Mavericks (from Snow Leopard) and had a bunch of early problems—mostly freezes in Mail and Safari. I cleaned out a bunch of things after running EtrCheck and while Mail still hangs periodically most of the issues have gone away.
    Anyway, I also since then have installed a NewerTechnologies eSata card to use with an OWC external drive. I then moved my Time Machine backup to this new drive (or actually did the share both with my previous backup drive, although the old drive is essentially full). Anyway, a couple things have started happening since this installation and switch.
    1. When my computer goes to sleep and I wake it up, I get reports that the eSata drive was "not disconnected properly." The drive then remounts itself without me having to do anything. I contacted OWC and they are looking into the issue.
    2. This may be the stanger one, but all of a sudden, within a day or so of having installed the new card and drive, my Microsoft Office lost its licensing and asks me to enter my authorization code. I did this and it worked for one day and lost it again. Thought this might be something with Office, but now the same thing happened with my recently updated copy of One Password.
    Anyone have any insight into either of these issues—the second is the most troublesome.
    Thanks
    jeff

    I have the same problem here. It works for some weeks, and now - it is stopped working.
    I had problem with Microsoft VPN too (error 720), begins the same time, but I solved it with KB 810979 article help.
    Reinstallation of newest Cisco client (vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0440-k9.exe) helped not.
    This newest client is quite old, and unable to use on Windows 8 without registry modification,  can we hope for a new version or it is discontinued?

  • I need help with the license transfer

    I need help getting find cut pro x back its saying I have to buy it over when I have already bought it

    … and to clarify what Andy said: the only legal way to purchase FCPX is via your AppleID + Appstore; so, if someone sold you a Mac coming pre-installed with FCPX - that is not optional, and wasn't legal (except with a new device from Apple).
    Then, indeed, YOU have to purchase it.
    Again.

  • Student License Key on Trial Installation

    Hi - I am planning to purchase a student license for Photoshop CS6 but was wondering if I can install it on my laptop provided by my work?  I am a student and meet the purchase requirements but if I install on my work laptop, will it:
    Allow me to enter the key for registration on the trial download from Adobe?
    Allow me to uninstall when needed and transfer my license to another computer later?
    Will it state that it is a Student edition when you open the program or will it just say Photoshop CS6?
    Do you qualify for product upgrades?
    I want to install on the work laptop because it is a MUCH better computer than my desktop.
    thanks!

    I'll start by saying I don't have personal experience with student licensing, nor do I know whether anything specific is changed in CS6, but I do know some about how it has worked in the past.  Also, regarding upgrade policy, things change, so no one can say for sure what the future holds.  Note specifically that traditionally upgrade policy has been changing coincident with the release of CS6.
    Disclaimers aside, you're probably good to go.  You may not know that, per the EULA, a single Photoshop license actually allows you to install and activate the software on up to two computers (e.g., your desktop and your laptop).
    As far as I know a student serial number works in every way just like a regular serial number.  You just have to jump through hoops to prove you're a student before you can actually GET that serial number, so make sure to do it early in the evaluation period or you may find the evaluation expiring before you get your serial number with which to activate it.
    Yes, you'll be able to deactivate the software then move to another computer.
    I don't know if it says "Student Edition" anywhere, but I doubt it.  It's always been a fully functional version in the past.  That said, there seems to be language on Adobe's pages now that imply the Student Edition is separate...  That could just be marketing.
    A student edition has always in the past qualified the owner for a regularly priced upgrade (same as everyone else pays).  In other words, there is not a doubly-discounted upgrade for students.

  • Student Licensing Please Help!

    Hey everybody,
    I have a simple but specific question,
    Ive posted this on other forums but people have kinda gone off topic..
    I just purchased Adobe Production Premium on a Student license
    Production Premium Encorperates Photoshop Cs4
    Adobe limits the amount of serials you can be issued under a student licese to one per product,
    Would I then be able to purchase Web Premium Under a student licesnse which also encorperates photoshop cs4?
    This is really bugging me any help would rock!
    Thanks Guys!
    Dan

    You can purchase the web premium as well.
    that would be a different product. be aware that if you install them on the same machine then you will no be able to install photoshop twice however
    if you install only photoshop on another computer from that Web Suite and you are running the other computer you will not be able to use Photoshop on that other computer until you shut down the other computer. In other words your copies of photoshop are tied to the Suites which are different products however the individual applications cannot be spread out over more than two computers and can only on computer can use any of the applications at one time. That is any of the applications.
    So the only way you get to use both versions of Photoshop is to run the suites on separate computers. However the one thing I am not certain of is what would happen if you tried to network these computers.
    I would think that could cause problems. I would check with customer service.

  • 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. 

  • How can I contact Adobe support to get help with deactivating my cs4 license on a computer that I cannot access anymore?

    My mac laptop recently went kaput. So I got a new one and I restored my most recent time machine backup to it. The restore went well, but I am not unable to open my cs4 programs.
    When I try, I get a message that says "Licensing for this product has stopped working..." and it gives an error code 150:30
    I have tried looking for solutions myself, but nothing that I have seen on the forums has been able to resolve the issue. As far as I can tell, I think that I have to reinstall my master collection and reactivate it, however, in order to do that, I think that I will need to deactivate my old version, that is installed on my dead laptop.
    So, I need help with a couple things.
    1. I need to get in touch with adobe support in order to get my license deactivated. But the new adobe support system just basically sends me to the forums without providing any way to get in touch with an actually adobe support person directly.
    2. I think that I will need a link to download my install media because my original media came on a series of disks, but my new laptop does not have a disk drive.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Cheers,
    James
