  • Why can't I upgrade my student version of creative suite to a professional version?

    I purchased the student version of creative suite 6 in January to learn the software for a class that my job was paying me to take.  We decided that the software was worth investing in so my company wants to upgrade my student version to a professional version.  ( It turns out I am not allowed to use student version software for professional purposes - I don't know if that is a law or just a rule).  So I call up customer support to pay for the upgrade and cancel the student version.  I am told this isn't possible and that they have to create a whole new account and charge me a cancellation fee for my old account.  Then they send me to a sales rep who was a total jerk and told me he couldn't help me and spent 20 minutes seriously making fun of me.  What kind of sales rep makes fun of people?  Then he sent me back to customer support who of course couldn't help either and they had to then sent me to a cancellation guy.  By this time, I had been on the phone for an hour.  So this guy tells me my current contract requires me to pay $79 a month and to cancel it will cost my $280? WTH?  My student version costs only $30 a month.  I have invoices to prove it.  So then he charges me $112 to cancel but he can't set up a new account.  Of course, that has to be done by somebody else.  But after this horrible experience, why should I sign up AGAIN?  And why did I have to pay $112 to cancel when what I really wanted was an upgrade?

    Fasiababy1 I am sorry that you have had a difficult experience.  As Ned mentioned if you have an annual contract then your best option is to continue utilizing the student version of the software.  You are also welcome to use the Student and Teacher Edition commercially you can find more details in the Education FAQ - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/education-faq.html.  In specific the following element is relevant to your inquiry:
    Can I use Student and Teacher Edition products commercially?
    Yes, Student and Teacher Edition products can be used commercially.
    In addition for more details regarding canceling your subscription please see our discussion regarding questions for your Creative Cloud subscription at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1146459.
    Finally do you have a case number which I can reference from your interaction with our support team?

  • Creative Cloud subscription for commercial use?

    I cant seem to find a straight answer to my question of;
    I am able to subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud (Australia) for commercial use?
    Thanks
    Ashly

    Yes, you can use the apps for the commercial purpose.
    The EULA remians the same for the Adobe applications even if they are the part of the creative cloud , you use the software like you were use to do earlier.

  • Can I install a single version of Creative Suite 6 on a Mac and PC?

    Can I install a single version of Creative Suite 6 on Mac, Macbook and PC?

    It is not likely.  A CS license normally applies to only one platform.  A PC version cannot be installed on a Mac, and vice versa.  It might be a different story if you subscribe to the Creative Cloud, where CS6 is available, though I am not well-versed in the provisions for Cloud matters.

  • Does the student version of creative cloud have an educational watermark like other programs and can you install the CC on multiple PCs?

    I am wanting to purchase the student version of CC to finish up work on my classes my senior year and through my Master's degree, I just want to insure whether or not the student CC has a watermark on projects?
    Also will I be able to install CC on my laptop and my Desktop without causing an issue?

    Hello,
    as a first step, best would be you have a look there: Education FAQ see for example "How many products can I buy?" >>> You can purchase one Creative Cloud membership and use it on both Mac OS and Windows. For all other Adobe Student and Teacher Edition products, you can purchase one license per platform of each product (includes suites and individual titles) per year.

  • Is it possible to save when I use the trial version of Flash Professional CS5?

    I downloaded the trial version so I could work on the final project for class but for some reason when I tried to save it my computer froze up. Is this because the save feature is turned off for the trial version or was it just my computer? If I can't save using the trial version than I wasted memory on my computer and a lot of my time downloading the trial version that isn't going to be very useful to me.

    The trial versions have no restrictions on use and you can save what you create, so it was most likely your computer.  Make sure your machine meets meets the minimum requirements. 
    The harddrive memory is not wasted, it is recoverable when you uninstall.  If you are talking about RAM, it is only used when you run the program.  The time you say you wasted downloading shouldn't have been necessary... downloading happens without the need for your participation, so you could have let that run by itself while doing something else.

  • Cannot install Student version of Creative Suite 6 Master Collection

    Since I'm in college I bought the Student version of the Adobe creative suite Master Collection CS6. It installed fine at that time but that computer died and so I had to get a new one. This one is also running windows 7. When I run the disk it has no *run* option. Instead all I can do is open the folder and I don't see an exe or any kind of file to install it. What on earth do I do? I have to have this for my flash class.

    You can try downloading the installation file(s) thru the following page and then use your serial number to activate.

  • How can I remove an older version of Creative Suite while deploying Creative Suite 6

    After you build an install package using the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise is there a way it can be deployed to upgrade an older version of Creative Suite.   In my organization we do not need both versions and I have about 100 machines to deploy this to and do not want to have to uninstall the old Creative Suite before deploying the new one as that would take too much time.
    I am also limited on hard drive space on many of my workstations so I would not like to have both Creative Suites taking up space.

    Branching this discussion out and moving it to the Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment forum.  Bwilk217 the users in this forum should be able to assist you with your inquiry.
