Well, it does depend a bit on whether he/she lives in a country where tuition might be zero, and the minimum monthly wage far lower than in the West. Perhaps CC is not even available in his/her country. Perhaps he/she has to take care of an entire family as well - and no money is left for anything as luxurious as a CC subscription.
We have no way of knowing his/her circumstances. They might be bad. If they are, I doubt Adobe will care she/he is using a cracked old version to learn the craft, and then go legit at a later time when she/he can afford it to produce professional work.
Honestly, I feel Adobe should just provide their tools for free for students. Autodesk does that. No reason why Adobe should not follow suit. Most students I know work with cracked versions anyway.

  • Hello, I have installed Reader, Adobe Acrobat, trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Some more than once. They work for a few days at most then I am told to re-install. I cant look at any pdf file even though I can still see reader in my programs.

    Hello, I have installed Reader, Adobe Acrobat, trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Some more than once. They work for a few days at most then I am told to re-install. I cant look at any pdf file even though I can still see reader in my programs. What is going on and what can I do to fix this?

    Unfortunately no, It says "Adobe not responding" as well when I try to open a pdf. It has done this a few times where I had to uninstall and reinstall. Also, Illustrator tells me to uninstall/reinstall as well.

  • Can External Drives be Home for  CS3 Photoshop and Illustrator?

    I thinking about upgrading to PS and AI CS3, but my C drive is pretty full--only 1GB spare. I'm using Win XP.
    Can these products be installed on an external drive, work design images from there or in a partition, and be stored there without problems?
    Or, I have 4 partitions with sufficient space that might hold the installations with anywhere from 11GB-193GB. Would installation there be appropriate with all work saved to my external drives? (I have 2)
    I'm already nervous reading all the installation problems I've previewed
    and sure don't want to add to them.........thanks so much for the advice....mm

    All of my applications, including Adobe apps, are on drives/partitions other than c:, which is my system bootup drive. Data (i.e., "documents") are on other drives. Scratch space is on yet other drives. However, all of these drives are internal, not external.
    External drives should work, but this is not recommended because you simply cannot achieve the data throughput you can with internal drives (unless you are using the eSATA interface or high-speed SCSI drives).
    Applications like Photoshop and Illustrator move a lot of data around and require ample scratch space for proper functioning. Every component of your system -- processor, memory, hard drives, etc. -- needs to be optimized to avoid bottlenecks that can send you out for extra coffee breaks. External drives (with exceptions as noted above) are going to slow you down.

  • Purchase Older (Legacy) Versions of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements

    I'm designing a line of Photosho templates and need to do some tutorials on how to use the templates with older versions of Photoshop. Also need to test templates in olders versions to insure 100% backward compatability.
    Also - need to find a legit resource for purchasing legacy versions of Photoshop Elements (back to PSE7)
    Is it possible to purchase legit copies of Photoshop CS3, CS4 and CS5 for install?  I'm on CS6 via the new Creative Cloud subscription.    

    Is it possible to purchase legit copies of Photoshop CS3, CS4 and CS5 for install?
    There is no way to buy new licenses of legacy versions. That's the long and short of it. You can only hope to find used licenses, but of course that always carries the risk of falling victim to fraudsters...

  • Can I download the trial version of photoshop and use it as the full version with my serial number?

    I have photoshop 6.0 on my current computer, I got in in college 4 years ago and the disc subsequently came to a tragic end after a collision with my dogs teeth T_T I still have the serial number though.  My problem is I've just bought a new computer and I was told that to transfer photoshop to my new computer I had to deactivate it on my old computer and then download the trial version using the original serial number.  Will this work?

    Is this Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop 6?  Either way this would not be the current version so it will be difficult to obtain the installation files as we only offer replacement media for the current version.  If you have your serial number though you will qualify for upgrade pricing.  For additional details please review http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.

  • Can I use the American Version of Photoshop Cs6 in Germany?

    I'm now in the United States for a few months and want to buy Photoshop for my german laptop. When I come back to Germany I still want to use Photoshop. Will it work?

    Yes, there have been many PS users (before the Creative Cloud), who had a different language on their machines. I do recall a few issues (long ago), where the keyboard language did cause a few issues, but mostly with keyboard shortcuts, etc..
    I know one user, who has his OS language IT, but his entire Adobe Production Premium suite is in US English, as most tutorials show US English for the various programs.
    I do not recall reading of the issues that PhotoRoy has mentioned, but perhaps there IS a concern.
    Good luck,

  • Can I use a later version of photoshop with DW cs4?

    Hi,
    I have Dreamweaver CS4, and I need to get photoshop to use with it. Do I need to get Photoshop CS4 or would CS5 work OK?
    Thanks,
    Hazel.

    Hi
    Are you referring to 'smart objects' or just using photoshop as your image editing software?
    If it is smart objects then yes PS CS5/5.5 will work with DW CS4. If it is just image editing then the PS version number is not important.

  • Can I use older versions of unactivated iPhones in the classroom as "clickers" to use with Socrative online?

    I'm curious about using unactivated iPhones in the classroom.  If I can get about 20 parents to donate older version of iPhones can I use them to record video or take pictures and then plug them into the computer to download the content captured?  I also want to know if there is some way to use the wifi feature in the classroom to connect to the internet and use the unactivated devices as a classroom tool for students to enter answers to questions posted in Socrative online.
    As I typed that all out I realized that most likely I can not use an iPhone to access wifi and a page online but perhaps I could still use them as handheld cameras to capture moments in the classroom and download the pictures once attached to the usb cord.
    Any adviace about getting unactivated iPhones in use at school would be very helpful.  Thanks in advance. 
    **I teach middle school Science and want to be more individualized within the content we teach.  This would help.. so would 15 iPads with service.  If I could only win the lottery I'd be unlimited with what we could do in the classroom.  Thanks again.

    yeah, you can use deactivated iphones as cameras. when you plug them into the computer, the OS will ask what you want to do with the photos on the device. you will import them and they'll be editable files on the computer after that

  • How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

    How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

    Assuming there won't be any wi-fi netwokrs, will there be cellular reception there?
    If so, you need to check if a carrier or the carrier if there is only one, offers a data only plan for the iPad and similar devices along with providing a mico-SIM card. If a carrier offers a data only plan with a full size SIM card, you can cut the SIM card down to mico-SIM size. There are devices that provide for this.
    If there is cellular reception but a carrier or the carrier doesn't have a data plan only for the iPad and similar devices but offers a tethering plan for phones on their network, you can tether your iPad to the cell phone for internet access via the carrier's cellular network.
