Purchasing CS5 directly from Adobe vs online reseller?

Is there any advantage to purchasing one of the CS5 bundles directly from Adobe's website versus purchasing it through another online such as Amazon? It's seems like there is some better pricing at other places, but just wondering if maybe you get better service or other perks for purchasing directly from Adobe.

A couple features you get from a direct purchase through Adobe are: (1) instant download of your product, with no shipping costs or time (this cannot be purchased anywhere else), and (2) a direct relationship with Adobe going forward - a third-party reseller is not going to correspond with you in the same way.
If you are considering purchasing through a reseller or retailer, make sure it is an authorized one - there is a lot of fake and damaging software out there...

  • I purchased a download copy of Acrobat Pro XI for Mac from a reseller online for $199.00. Now I am suspicious that the reseller is less than trustworthy.  Could I purchase a copy from Adobe without losing the $199 that I already spent?

    I doubt it. The clue should be the price. Any time you see a copy available for less than from Adobe, I would be suspicious. You can inquire with the Adobe sales folks, but don't expect any credit. At this point, I would suggest just buying AA DC, rather than AA XI.

  • How do I purchase directly from adobe and not from reseller

    I was instructed by the reseller to renew my team lisence directly from Adobe as it will be less expencive for me this way.
    I have tried to do so in the team managment and it says I have to purchase from my reseller and does not give me an option to puchase directly from adobe.
    How do I change this?
    Thanks in advance

  • I have installed CC in my IMac. Now 4 trial days left. Is it possible to make my trial version to licensed one without the help of a reseller, by purchasing the software direct from Adobe?

    That depends on where you live... not all countries allow you to buy direct... with ZERO country information, nobody can answer your question... what happens when you try to buy direct from Adobe?

  • Buying Lr5.3 directly from Adobe online

    I can't buy Lr5.3 directly from Adobe online in Dubai, UAE.
    Anyone has similar problem?

    Hi Elie,
    Thanks for your response. I called up some local resellers in Dubai, UAE, there is a price difference of USD55/=. With the saving from Adobe store in US, I prefer to buy it directly online.
    However, I keep getting the error message that my account was registered for another country, however i've registered for United Arab Emirates.
    After many tries, the error message keeps appearing and another server error message as well.
    Suddenly, the account opens up and allows me to enter my billing details. Finally purchased it from adobe mena region online via Digital River Intl.
    Clicked on their link to download Lr5.3 and 4 hours later, it downloaded only 50% of it, so decided to cancel the download, it was taking way too long.
    Tried what you mentioned, key in the magic password in my trial version and licensed it and it works perfectly!
    Thanks, Elie

  • OSX 10.9.2/paid for Acobat XI Pro directly from Adobe for windows/English 24 hrs to process order?

    I paid for adobe xi pro today directly from adobe.  Had licensed version that expired.  Got email with Serial Number and for Windows/English version.
    Go to Adobe and cannot load, do anything because says my order "still processing and can take 24 hours".  My cc online shows adobe paid.  Adobe says I am supposed to be able to load same day.  Not true. Obviously.  WTF do I need to do to get this to load and work. My PDFs have been completely disabled even in read.  Unreal.
    Thank you.

    AA XI purchase is separate from CC. If you got the serial number, just get the download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html and install it. Please make a copy of the install file in case you need it in the future (it may not always be available).

    Hi divabuyer,
    It sounds like you're trying to convert to Word from within Reader, is that so? Are you signed in to Reader? If so, you'll see your name in the upper-right corner of the Reader application window.
    If that doesn't work, please try llogging in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf with your Adobe ID and password.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Purchasing songs direct from radio

    Hello,
    Is it possible to purchase music directly from the iTunes radio feature, similar to what you can do on msn music?
    Rick

    Not while using iTunes as the player (oddly enough).
    Depending on the radio's source web site, you may be able to buy direct using their web site player or a provided track listing. Again, strictly depends on what the original broadcaster wants to offer. Live365.com streams, many iTunes radio entries are from Live365, support buy from iTunes links when using the Live365 player - but only when you start the stream from their site instead of from the iTunes radio listing.

  • When trying to reload PS that I downloaded directly from Adobe, it fails and says I have a counterfeit version?

    I recently had to reset my computer, and now when I'm trying to download Adobe PS that I purchased directly from the site, the installer finishes about 50% then says it's failed because I have a counterfeit version.
    I know I did not purchase a counterfeit.

    Kindly try the below mentioned steps.
    Remove Creative Cloud app and Adobe application manager using the link mentioned below.

  • Can I purchase Robohelp v8 from Adobe or from any 3rd party vendor?

    I specifically need a license for v8, not an upgrade.
    If the purchase is not available from Adobe, then which vendor?
    (I thought pierrebuies may have been asking this question as well....)
    thank you for your help

    You can download the s/w from the link below but you'll need a licence key to access anything other than the trial:
    http://technolux.blogspot.co.nz/2011/02/adobe-direct-download-links-less-akamai.html
    Failing that you can try Adobe Support. They will try to get you to upgrade mind as RH8 is four versions old now.

  • Just purchased a font from Adobe, the font shows in every program except Photoshop CS4

    I just purchased the Frutiger family of fonts from Adobe, and installed them via the Control Panel>Fonts>Install New Font.  This new font family shows up in every Windows program including Outlook and all the Office programs.  However, it doesn't shop up in Photoshop CS4 which is where I need it.  I saw similar questions with solutions that worked such as:  Copy the fonts from Windows>Fonts  to the Adobe>Fonts.  However, I don't have a Fonts folder under my Adobe folder.
    Very frustrating since I purchased this font package from Adobe.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    OpenType versions or the old Type 1 format?
    Also, you will never access any new fonts unless you exit all the Adobe applications first.
    Also, you may need to clean up one or more of the Adobe font cache files. With all Adobe applications exited, delete all files of form AdobeFnt##.lst  where ##  is a two digit number. Those files will be regenerated when you run the Adobe applications. All fonts should be found during such a "rebuild."
    Another thing to look for is whether for some reason or another, the fonts are placed outside of normal alphabetic order in the Adobe applications. This sometimes happens if the font has a non-standard character set or name.
