Student Licensing Question

Hey Guys,
Just a quick question about Labview student licensing. I have the 2010 student software pack and was wondering if its possible to install in on both a desktop and laptop at the same time with the same license.
All the best,
Tom
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To activate the license, you have to send in the Computer ID and you get back an Activation code. If you tried to use this activation code on another computer, there would be a mismatch with the computer ID and it would not work. Talk to your NI sales rep and ask him if you can get two activation codes for the same license. I know that with a volume license agreement, they will let you put Labview on 3 different computers, as long as you use only one at a time. Of course you can only use one at a time, but it would be illegal for you to use one and your buddy to use the other at the same time.
Edit: I'm slow. Smerc beat me to the punch. I guess the 3 computer rule applies to all licenses, not just volume license. I still think you would have to get a separate activation code for each computer.

CS5 Student License Question

Licensing question:
In 2011, I purchased a student license to CS5 for my mac. I have installed it on one laptop that I am the primary user of. The laptop has two user logins, mine and my husbands.
Can my husband use CS5 on the computer on an occassional basis (either through my username or his) and still be okay from a licensing point of view? There are several questions that hint at this, but I can't find a clear answer. I've read the EULA, but I'm still confused whether this is permissable or not.
Thanks for any help.

That's into the area of legal interpretation, but you don't need to overthink it. You may have purchased the license, but technically the activation is per computer, is it not? So one could simply assume that this is perfectly intended or at least within the freedom that the EULA provides... It's not like you're letting your neighbors use it for a buck an hour, or is it?

UK Student License questions

Hi all,
Two quick questions about the licensing for Student Versions.
1) Does being a student at the Open University (open.ac.uk) qualify for a student license?
2) Is the student license granted depending on the course being studied? I.e. Would a student studying say, English Literature, be able to purchase a student license just as a student who was perhaps doing a Film Editing course? Or does there need to be some relevance to the software being purchased?
I'd be looking at getting the Premier Production Suite, and I'm doing a course which starts with a module in Forensic Science. Later on there are courses in digital gaming and digital photography which the production suite would really come in handy..
Many Thanks in advance
Dan

I will become an iPhone owner this Friday when it launches here in the UK, but being that I have never had a contract phone before, can anyone tell me how the Edge feature works on the iPhone? I assume if you wander out of range of your home network it will give you the option to connect to Edge? Also, does it cost to use this feature on top of your monthly fee? If so, what are the fees per minute.
Edge use is free and now that O2 has decided to give unlimited Edge use to iPhone owners use it at will, you connection speed with Edge should be between 120k and 220k on average
The iPhone searches for friendly
WiFi spots first then will connect to Edge as a second choice.
While using WiFi you will see a WiFi icon near the top left of your screen, when connected to Edge you will see a "E" as the edge icon
Hope this answers your question

Creative Suite 4 student licensing question

I just purchased what I guess is the student edition of Creative Suite 4 from the college bookstore online.
The front cover says:
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard
Student Licensing
Academic ID required
Serial number required for installation
Here is my question:
I own two Macs. Can I install this software on both of them, or only on one of them?

Yes, from what I understand you can very well put it on two computers as long as you are the operator of both machines.

Student License question

So I wanted to know, If i make a a video, that has everything legal in it (Audio and so on) with my version of Adobe After Effects CS3 Student license, Can I sell it. NOT work for a company, not anything like that. Just say, oh I like this video of particles tahat I made, can I sell it. Not for a company but by myself, like a freelancer.
BTW, this may be interting to read. I got it off video copilot.net when I asked
First Dude Who I talked TO: Actually, I always purchase the student license because I teach an AE class at BYU and the license does allow me to make money on freelance work.
So, it cannot be purchased by you, then used at an office for another employer, but it can be used by you on your own computer to make money with your own business or as a freelancer.
That's the best thing about Adobe. They let students use it to make money.
Having said that, the student license may vary for different universities or schools, so you should read the fine print. I know that BYU has a special deal with Adobe and they are allowed to offer the entire Master Collection for $550. But that is only for BYU students and faculty. Also, I know that their license does allow money to be made, but again (i'm repeating myself) that may not apply to all student licenses.
Why do you think they allow you to do that? Because the second you make money using their software, you will likely be a lifetime customer. It is worth it to them to allow you use a student license that is cheaper (but still the full software) to make money, because then, in a way, you are trapped and will have to continue to use their software after you graduate. You'll pay full price for the rest of your life, and it is very worth it to them. That is the only reason I teach an AE class, because they don't pay me very well, but I get a sweet deal on software.
My Reply: Who wants to hear something Bizzare?
I called adobe and asked them.
The first lady transferred me to the legal place, or whatever, and he told me that "Oh, well yea we can upgrade you for free, and get you a commercial license. Just let me transfer you back, and tell the person what I said. They should give you a free serial number, and there you go!"
While being transferred my phone died, and I called back. Now i called the department in which I did the first time, and was NOT transferred. SHe told me that the man was incorrect and that I have to buy a whole new version of AAE.
Now you guys are telling me this?
Lemme say, that I am 16. I want to sell movies that I make! NOT WORK FOR PEOPLE. We have legal audio, and all. Just make movies, and sell not. Not for anyone else, but when me and my friends create things. (This being when they begin to look good)
And I found this http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/openopt ... ed_faq.pdf

We bought a laptop for our son right before he began his senior year of high school. He used his Christmas money to buy the student version of Adobe After Effects CS3 from Academic Superstore for just over $400.
He was so incredibly busy during his senior year that he only managed to install the software, but never had time to use it.
Then, he found out that the college recommended a MAC computer (which rendered the Windows version of After Effects useless). We bought a Mac laptop & he bought a SECOND (Mac) version of After Effects to take to college last month.
He uninstalled the Windows After Effects and DeActivated it with Adobe. And we sold the Windows laptop.
Being a typical college student he really needs the money back from the first package. So, we thought we could sell it and get even a little bit of his money back. When I asked Adobe if he can sell the package, the answer was no.
They said it is licensed to him only and no one else can register it.
As for the fact that he has had to pay for TWO packages, but now can only use one, their attitude was basically "too bad, so sad".
On their website they talk about a program to buy back an outdated program when a student buys a newer version... but apparently that doesn't apply here.
The Windows software was over $400, and the Mac version was also over $400 through his college program.
This just doesn't seem right to me. Sure wish there was another option out there for this kind of software. As far as I am concerned, Adobe has ripped off my son. Nice way to show appreciation for your loyal customer, eh?!
I'm not impressed.

CS4 student licensing question

I'm a graphic design student graduating next year. If I install it to my laptop this year, will it still continue working for me after I graduate?
Also, I think my laptop has something wrong with it, so I might get a new one. If I install the creative suite onto this laptop, will I be able to uninstall it and then reinstall into a new computer?
Thanks.

I wasn't aware of a difference in Academic versions and Student versions.
I just purchased what was billed as an Academic version but the box says Student Edition.
My wife is enrolled in college and thus the purchase. Is it just major upgrades (ie..CS5) that student editions are not eligible for or even incremental?
Doesn't seem right that incremental updates, which 9/10 are actually fixes for system errors, efficiency and such that theoretically should have been tested for before going to market would not be available but the free-market has change considerably in the last few years.

Adobe Master Collection CS5 Student Licensing Use Questions

I have a desktop and a laptop computer and I want to install the software on both machines. I currently have it on my desktop machine ONLY. Does the student license allow you to install on two computers like the regular license does? I am fixing to have to format the hard drive of my desktop PC. Will I need to deactivate the software on my desktop in order to reinstall it after format if I can install on my laptop? I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on both computers. Thank you.

It seems you already know your way around some of the EULA documentation:
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
(Scroll down to Adobe Creative Suite CS 5.5, CS 5 PDFs)
I will continue to look for the EULAs for the Educational Store but you might find them before I do by visiting the Educational Store and looking around for the documentation.

Photoshop CS4 Mac Student License...

Hey guys!
Dan here..
I have a quick question about student licensing,
I plan in the new year to purchase Adobe Production Premium for mac on a student license,
But I also would like to install Photoshop onto another macbook as well as my main computer,
Under the terms of student licensing adobe say that you cannot be issued more than one serial for each product on a student license,
And Production Premium contains Photoshop CS4,
Would it be possible to order Production Premium and a seperate copy of Photoshop CS4 on a student license as i believe Production premium has only one license key as apposed to seperate keys for the seperate componants,
Any help would be awesome!
Thankyou!
Dan

That's nice though a bit of an hassle, if you ask me. Activating and deactivating all the time might be time consuming.
As for the upgrading to full version, I'll be back to you on that in two weeks. I'll have completed my degree. In my understanding, my student license gives me the "two comupters not running at the same time" priviledge. Would be nice to have a third activation upgrade. Just in case.
Oh! and if you're wondering I think that the activation software looks at the computer's IP adress for activation. Had a problem with my hard drive and had to reinstall everything (even the OS) on a back-up drive. I reactivated Photoshop and asked an Adobe representative to see if I had used up all my activations. Nope, had used only one. So I guess you can install as many times you want on the same computer as long as it doesn't change location.

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.

Upgrade from Student License

I am a student at the moment (but hopefully not much longer, a year or so) thinking about buying a student license of Lightroom. My question now: Is it possible to upgrade from a student version to the full version of a new release (let's say version 2.0;-) or do I then have to buy a full license?
Thanks in advance,
Alexandra

The versions sre alll the same, only the price is different.AFAIK.
You'll only have to pay the higher price once you can't back up the lower with an ID.

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.

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.

CS5 Student License after Graduation

Hello,
I have a quick question about CS5 Design Premium and a student license.
I have been using CS5 as a media production minor at Purdue. However, I am graduating soon. My question, can I still use my license after graduation for personal use? Such as, editing photos, updating my website, etc. I have read the student agreement, and it states:
"...If a product version changes, however, current students, faculty, and staff my purchase the new version to continue to take advantage of the spectacular discounts offered in this program. If a student has graduated and is no longer eligible for education discounts, he or she may purchase a standard commercial upgrade of the new version."
That was regarding upgrades, and would suggest that Adobe is saying that a current student should just buy the new version at a discount and consider that the upgrade, and graduated students are not eligible, but can still upgrade as any normal user could.
So my question is simple, can I still use CS5 after graduation, as I always have? Also, if I choose to upgrade to CS5.5 at some point in the future, I can still purchase the upgrade like someone who bought CS5 outright, correct?
One other question, while we're here. If I buy a new Mac well after graduation, let's say two years from now, and I am able to continue with my current license, can I deactivate it from my current computer and install it on a new one? Still using one activation, just on a newer computer.
Thanks, I greatly appreciate the help in clarifying this matter.

For some reason, I was under the impression I need to uninstall CS5 and destroy my activation key.
Whether it matters or not, just so my status here is clear, my degree is through Purdue, but I attend a university that is both Purdue and Indiana Univsersities, and my Adobe discs have the IU logo on them, in addition to the standard Adobe print and so on. They were purchased through the university bookstore, and I signed all necessary forms and provided the proper identification. Thanks.

Upgrading a student license to commercial

Hey,
I'm posting to ask how much it costs to upgrade a student license of CS3 Design Premium to the commercial license - it's unclear in the Adobe online store.
Can anyone help?
Chris

Hi everyone,
Was there any resolution to this last question? Is the Adobe Student Edition a newer incarnation different from previous educational/academic licenses?
As Walter mentioned, the Adobe Student Edition FAQ page seems to be at odds with the other information, as it states:
"Adobe Student Editions are for installation solely on private computers and for non-commercial purposes only."
I would be truly, truly appreciative if somebody could once and for all help shed some light on this subject for me. I've gotten so many differing and conflicting responses from web queries, EULA readings, and Adobe customer service.
My long-winded post today is spurred on by the confusing response from Adobe customer service that I received today. It read:
"With regard to your concern to use Adobe Educational Software for
commercial purposes, I need to inform you that the educational versions of our software are specially priced for qualifying students and faculty. Even though they are restricted for educational and
institutional use only, educational versions are fully functional."
Are the products restricted in terms of who can use them, what qualified users can use them for, or both?
I'm a student (in North America) and received my CS3 Design Premium through my school over a year ago, but I'll be darned if I know how to tell what license I exactly have. Looking at the DVD case in front of me, it says "Student Licensing." I've read the EULA, which basically says you can use the software if you qualify as an educational end-user. Does that mean you have to qualify when you buy it, or forever on? How do I know if my version different from the above mentioned Adobe Student Edition which does, indeed, restrict commercial use?
I'm not sure if this will help anybody help me understand, but I do know that a couple hundred of students (both undergrad and graduate) are enrolled in the same Adobe license deal as I am, so I'm guessing that is probably some sort of volume licensing.
It would be absolutely wondrous to know once and for all that it was OK to use my software for commercial purposes both during school and after graduation, as it seems like a shame for the software to become legally derelict if not upgraded.
If anybody has any thoughts, it would be fantastic to hear them.
Dov, you seem to be a beacon of Adobe clarity, so I would love any advice you might have.
Thanks so much!
Ryan
