Student Edition (question/confusion)

I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard Student Edition.
I have already went through the process of verifing that I am a student and got a serial number.
However the serial number that they gave me is invalid. I am in the process of trying to get in contact with Customer Support and already sent in a message to them through the Support Portal online.
I noticed and am very curious - the box that my product came in says "Student Edition" on it. There is a silver "STOP" sticker on the CD case. However the CD case itself, the CDs, and when I use the program on my MAC, it does not say Student Edition anywhere. It is suppose to say Student Edition on everything else??
Thanks.

I finally got in contact with cutomer services.
Long story short: I ended up and am currently in the process of exchanging it for a new set as mine was defected/the wrong language.
And it does not say student liscening on the CDs if that does matter?
Another question, to anyone who knows how student software works: Since I am getting a new set and need to go through the process of verifying that I am student again, are there any restrictions I might run into with a second product under my name? I already sent in a message to Adobe through myidentit-e.com, which I am waiting to hear from. I just want to know if this is an issue, like I am currently thinking, that I defiantly need to clear up before getting the serial number for my new set?

Another adobe creative suite student edition question

hi,
i recently bought adobe creative suite 4 design premium at the apple education store for 419 dollars (before i realized it was cheaper from adobe). i looked at adobe.com and it says the "student edition" can be used commercially.
my question is: nowhere on the apple store does it say this is the student edition. The packaging says, "for educational individual use only," and was a shrinkwrapped case. i still had to submit my school id for verification for my serial number. i called adobe customer support as well as the apple store and neither seemed to know what i was talking about. is there any way to know whether my edition is the student edition and able to be used for commercial use?

I have spend countless hours waiting for an Adobe Cust Svc Rep to answer my call, (should have reached out sooner) trying to find out if you can use either version for education and commercial use, by either I mean any of the CS4 suites education or academic, (I believe the education version is the $399 one and the academic is the $599 -- it couldn't be any more confusing than it is) -- I was wondering if the statement you made is still correct today (things change so quickly). Thanks for your help.

CS4 Student Edition Questions

Hi, I'm currently a student at Seattle Art Institute and need to get CS4. My question is, if I get CS4 Student Edition is it any different than the regular CS4? Does it not include some things that the other has? Also, when I graduate will I have to upgrade to a regular CS4 in order to do my own personal work or can I just use the Student Edition. And lastly, will I be able to use the Student Edition for internships? Thanks for any help,
-Eric

I'm aware this post is rather old, but I was curious as to where you got this information? The "US" website does not say that, and I purchased the student version and talked to three different Adobe associates over the phone (including the supervisor) all of which said that here in the US you absolutely can use the Student edition of CS4 for commercial work.
EDIT: never mind I saw your link. You're right about it NOT being able to be used for commercial use in the UK.
I was worried for a second. Here in the USA you can use it for commercial work. Just called and verified the difference on the phone yet again...lol
UK no USA yes

Lightroom 5 Student Edition Questions

I am university student working on my Graduate degree. I also am a photographer and am looking at purchasing Lightroom 5. I am curious to whether there are any differences between the Full version and the Student version (other than price). If I were to purchase the Student addition will I be limited to how long I will be able to use it? In other words, will the Student edition expire after a certain period of time? Also, is the Student edition eligible for upgrades?
Thank you,
Aaron

Quick "Photoshop CS4 Student Edition" Question

How many times am I able to download the CS4 Student Edition? If I can recall, I was able to download my old CS3 version twice, but I am having difficulty locating where to find this particular information. Thanks for the response. Much appreciated!
Jenna

As far as I know, the Student Editions range is no different from any other Adobe downloadable product. In their Online Order FAQ, they write:
"How long will my download be available?
You may return to your Online Store account to resume a download, or re-download your products for 3 years after the day of purchase. If for some reason you are unable to access your account or are unable to find your previously purchased downloads, please contact customer service. Adobe reserves the right to change this policy at any time with or without notice."
(Taken from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/167/tn_16719.html#Completed_download )
That seems to indicate that you're not limited to a number of downloads, but a time in which to download. If you click on the 'Your Account' link at the top of the Adobe site, and then on the 'View Order History' link, you should have a 'Your Downloads' tab that will make all your purchases available to download.
You may find that this varies slightly with volume licensing however. I'm assuming you mean a Student Editions individual purchase, but if you're buying through your university for example, you should check with them.

Creative cloud student edition question

Yes, the pricing will not change for the rest of the year.

CS4 Student edition question

I am hoping someone here can help me out. I am attending VFS at the moment and even though I get access to all their software and equipment I am looking to get my own version of the production premium package. I was looking through their student packages and saw they had two versions of the same package, the student licensing and the student edition.
What is the difference other then the price? Would I be able to use both for commerical use(Seeing I am in North America?)
JourneyEd also sells the CS4 package, it says the Lic. Type is CLP 4.5 Student Licensing. Again, not sure what this means.

I still haven't found the answer to this. Let me explain it a bit better.
I know the student edition can be used for commercial use in North America and on the adobe site it is $399. Now if I scroll down a bit there is the "student licensing" tab which has the Production Premium package at $299. Is this like what a school that buys for their students or can anyone buy this, and can it be used for commercial use?
Also VFS has a deal with JourneyEd which sells Adobe Products, and their Production Premium package is $379 and it says the Lic. Type is
CLP 4.5 Student Licensing.
If I buy from JourneyEd will that CLP 4.5 lisense or whatever allow me to make profit off my work?

Express 7 Student Edition Question

Hello:
I'm playing around and learning LabView. I bought a copy of LabView 6i
Student Edition and found that it didn't support the advanced data
acquisition instruments (I wanted to used the continuous data
acquisition example and it wouldn't work). Does anyone out there know
if the new Labview 7 Express Student Edition supports all of the
features or if it's somewhat crippled like 6i? Any info would be
greatly appreciated, as I'd like to avoid spending another $70 if it
doesn't.
Thanks!
Dan

I believe the Student Edition of 7 is fully functional. It adds a tag in the lower left corner of the windows identifing it as the student edition.
To be sure, you should call NI support and verify.

Student Edition - Licensing Questions

Hi all! I am a Web Development student, and I was considering a purchase of the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium Student and Teacher Edition.
I have read quite a few posts but couldn't find all my answers. I even chatted with Adobe online help, but he/she couldn't answer my questions either.
My question(s), and I do apologize if I'm making you repeat anything for the umpteenth time:
Can I design graphics and websites for clients either during my internship, or after graduation, with the Student and Teacher Edition?
Can I sell anything that I create using the Student and Teacher Edition?
I realize that the Student and Teacher Edition CANNOT be upgraded. Should I want to upgrade after I graduate, do I then purchase a commercial license?
Not really a question, but more of a request. Alot of posts point HERE or HERE regarding upgrades, but for the life of me I cannot find a price for upgrading from the Student Teacher Edition to any other license. Could someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance, for any and all help.
Debbie

Hi Debbie, thank you so much for your questions. It can be confusing - in fact I just re-read the first piece you linked and realized it wasn't as clear as it could be, so we're doing some rewrites on the limitations of the student editions.
So on to your questions...
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Actually, they can be upgraded at any time - but only to a commercial version and not to another education version.
4. Just check Adobe's discounted pricing for regular commercial upgrades - it's exactly the same for upgrades from academic software.
Hope this helps!

Questions about Student Edition

Hi,
i'm asking cause a lot of threads i found are very old -> outdated.
1. Are there any upgrades from Student Edition to Normal Commercial Edition?
2. Can I buy later upgrades e.g. i buy now master collection cs 5.5 and get cs6 but cs7 is out, what will happen? (cause i see there are just fullversions and no upgrades)
3. On how many Computers i can install it? Or can i install it on various computers and just can use the same program on one computer? for example use photoshop with one and after effects with other one?
4. I heard that the Student Edition is EXACTLY the same like the normal. Does this mean that i can use it for commercial use? (Already read something about it and that is possible but they talked about older versions and newer and i can't understand the right answer)
5. My Father has a good Camera and often take photos. So can he use my Photoshop to edit his photos and is allowed to use these works for commercial use or just when i edit it?
6. When i finish school can i still upgrade my editions if there are any upgrades?
7. I live in Germany and saw that e.g. on Amazon.com german is not avaible at the moment just english and other european languages. Is it possible to change the language before or after installation?
Hope you can help me.
Thank you
Greetings

thank for so fast support
2. so i can buy a normal commercial upgrade with fullversion student edition
3. after 2 installations it's not possible to reinstall it? cause i renew my computer at least every year.
5. can you be more detail because i have two questions there or you mean yes to both?
7. language is no problem
Tom
p.s.
8. when i install a product and activate it there is a function to deactivate it. does this mean it's possible to install it unlimited again?
9. when i buy any upgrade does it extend/refresh the activation limit?

Installing Web Premium CS4 Student Edition on Laptop After Windows 7 Upgrade Question

I hope that this hasn't been asked before but my question is the following: I want to upgrade my laptop computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. But I hear that all programs get uninstalled after installing Windows 7 on a Windows XP machine. I would have to reinstall all programs again to use Web Premium CS4. But my student edition says that I can only install the program on two computers. Does this mean that I can install the program only two times or can I still install on the same laptop after changing the OS (I installed CS4 on two computers, my laptop and desktop)? I would very much like to continue using Web Premium CS4 on my laptop but am worried that I won't be able to install it since I installed CS4 on my laptop and desktop (two installs already). Let me know if I can install on the same laptop after upgrading to Windows 7. Thanks in advance for the help.
WebMacro123

The issue is not installation...it's activation. Deactivate the software first. (Help > Deactivate from any application).
Back up all of your data, preferences, etc because as you note, this will be a clean install of Windows. Be aware that this is only recommeneded method for upgrading a Windows installation. NEVER do an in place Windows (or, IMO, Mac OSX) upgrade.

Production Premium CS4 Student Edition-Quick Question

I just purchased the student edition of Production Premium CS4. I would like to install the software as soon as I recieve it, however, I do plan on buying a new computer within the next month.
Am I able to install the software on the computer I have now, and then once I have purchased the new computer, deactivate and uninstall CS4 from the old computer and reinstall and activate on the new computer?
I believe the Licence states that the software may only be installed on one computer. Does that mean one computer at a time or one computer ever?
Thank you!

A good and frequent question - and I think you should be OK... Check out the entries in this FAQ, "Do the Student Editions have restricted functionality?" and "How many computers can I use a Student Edition on?" (under "How Can I Use My Software?") http://bit.ly/byG0p6

Question about Installing CS6 Student Edition

I purchased student version of Adobe CS6 about a year ago, unfortunately about the same time as I made this purchase my laptop died. I recently graduated from college, but I was wondering if there is a window of time that I need to install the suite before I become ineligible as a student/or if I will be unable to install and register. I currently have a work computer, but don't want to install the program until I get my own computer. Furthermore, how many devices can I install the student edition on? If I need to install it before my student status expires, I'd like to install it on my work computer, then hopefully get my own personal device ASAP and install it on that as well if possible. Thanks for the help.

If you are still a student then you can install and use the software.
As far as installing it on a work computer goes, that is usually up to the company you work for. Most companies control what is and is not allowed to be installed on a computer they own.

Question on installing student edition of CS6.

I purchased this from amazon.com. There is a product code but no serial number. It says a serial number will be emailed to you once your eligibility has been verified. Does this mean I first install it as a trial? I would have thought I would be installing it as a paid version.
