Student version CS4/CS5 question...

Hi All,
I have read many comments on the web re Adobe offering free upgrades to persons purchasing CS immediately prior to a new reference release. Is there an official response on how long the period prior to release is and does this apply to student versions (I was advised that the student versions are not upgradable)? Thanks,
r.

It seems to me like you are asking about a post-announcement upgrade for an academic version.  The information here leads me to believe that you can get the free upgrade with a student version.
This upgrade policy applies only to single-user retail and educational
versions. Tryout, Beta, Not For Retail (NFR), and bundled OEM versions
are not eligible for upgrade.
What I don't know is if the grace period for CS4 > CS5 has started now, with this pre-annoucement or if this policy doesn't take effect until the 12th.

  • Can we use Adobe Creative Suite (student version) CS4 and CS5 for commercial usage in Australia?

    Can we use Adobe Creative Suite (student version) CS4 and CS5 for commercial usage in Australia?
    Can we use for commercial purposes while we are studying?
    How about after we graduate?
    Thank you.

    Check your regional S&T pages for specifics. Generally commercial usage is allowed during school and after graduating, but in some regions extra restrictions may apply if e.g. your software is subsidized by your government or the license owned by the school and you just "loaned" it.

  • Student Version Cs4

    I am student and will graduate in the next year.  When I graduate, will I still be able to use the program or do I have to buy an actual version?  (in other words since I have to prove that I am a student, will my student validation still be needed for the activation of the product after I reinstall it or graduate.)
    Another ? having nothing to do with a Student Version Cs4.  Is it true that you can't export a movie in any format with a 30 day trial version Cs4 premiere?

    I agree with John T. As he is an academician, he knows a good deal about "student/academic" versions of many Adobe products.
    In years past, there were some limitations in the EULA on doing "commercial work," but I believe that those have been dropped. There were rules governing upgrade paths, but I think that many of those have also been dropped.
    When one is speaking of various suites, it might not be quite so easy to get full details, but depending on the configuration of the suite, you should be able to pick out the major components, ask in those appropriate fora, and get pointers to current EULA's for those. I would assume that they will dictate the restrictions and limitations of the total suite.
    I will not comment on what used to be, as much has changed. One needs to check now. Also, I'd follow John's advice to check with the licensed resellers of academic versions. Once, FAXing a student I.D. was good enough, like showing same at the school's bookstore.
    Whatever you do, go through a licensed, academic reseller, whether you school's bookstore, or from an licensed academic Web site.
    Good luck,

  • How do i activate the student version of CS5 i purchased?

    how do i activate the student version of CS5 i purchased? its for my son who is a student at Digipen

    And what exactly? You need to explain better and provide the necessary technical info. Also where did you get CS5? S&T licenses are only available as current versions and require registration with Adobe to prove eligibility.

  • Student version of CS5

    I cannot set up my student version of Photoshop CS5 on my new iMac. It tells me my serial number is not valid even though I paid for the version. Can anyone help? I did have it loaded but could not print. Would always "quit unexpectedly" message when I'd go to print. So, I removed photoshop  thinking I would reload it. Now I can't reload it. I did load the trail version and still get the "quit unexpectedly" message with it also. I have an iMac running OS X 10.9.4.   Please help.

  • Upgrading CS4 student version to CS5

    I purchased CS4 student edition a couple years ago and am interested in upgrading to CS5.  I have since graduated and can no longer get the student edition.  So I am wondering if I can upgrade my version of CS4 to the current non-student edition of CS5 or am I going to have to buy the full non-student edition?
    Thanks

    Studen versions carry full upgrade rights. Make sure you buy the correct upgrade.

But it was CS6 now so I downloaded and I gave my license ID but did not work! What should I have to do now?

  • How to re-install CS5 student version?

    My hard drive crashed so I need to reinstall my student version of CS5.  I still have discs and serial numbers.  Do I need to uninstall - programs are showing up but obviously won't open- before I re-install.  Will I run into problems like having to re-verify student eligibility, etc.?  Thanks for the help.

    If the files are installed but are not working you should probably uninstall and reinstall them.  I don't think you will need to reverify eligibility since that should have been part of your getting the serial numbers in the first place. 
    I do not know if you will need to reactivate things, but if aso and you run into any problems, you can contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

  • Photoshop upgrade from student version

    I want to upgrade from CS4 Extended full student version to CS5.  Can I upgrade from a student version as I am no longer a student?

  • A question about student version upgrade

    Hi everyone,
    I do know, that student version is only for noncommercial work, and while i'm just a student, i don't wanna take that risk that I might get commercial work to do, and I would't be allowed to do it.
    Now what I've got in my mind, is that i would first buy cs4 design premium - student version. Then I would update it to the commercial version (CS4).
    The question is, can I update CS4 student to CS4 commercial, or do I have to wait until CS5 is to be released.
    And IF I can upgrade from CS4 student to CS4 commercial, does it cost the regural upgrade price? ( ~790€ ).
    I know that student version has full upgrade rights, but on the "whats egible for upgrade" it doesn't mention CS4 (for obvious reasons, usually people don't want to pay to upgrade to same program they have), but somehwhere in the european FAQ (here http://www.adobe.com/uk/education/students/studentedition/faq.html ) there was mentioned this
    Can I upgrade from a Student Edition?
    Yes, a Student Edition can be upgraded to a commercial version.
    Now it is not clearly stated, that can we upgrade from later version to more recent one, or can we upgrade recent student ver to recent commercial ver
    Location: Europe, Finland, so before you north americans tell me that I can use student version for commercial work, i'd like to say that It doesn't work that way in Europe.
    Thank you for your time, I hope someone has a clear ansrew to me.

  • CS5 Student Version Purchase

    I am a student and looking to purchase the Adobe Master Collection.  My school currently only sells the CS4 version.  If I buy the CS4 version now will Adobe grandfather the purchase and allow a free upgrade to CS5 since it has just been launched and we are within about one month of when CS5 should be available on the shelves?  I am just curious what Adobe's grandfather policy is.  Do they have anything similar to Autodesk's subscription plan which allows free upgrades within a year of purchase?  Would something like that be valid for a student purchased version?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    One final question.  I just visited the Adobe Student store and noticed that purchasing the CS5 Master version through that site is twice the cost of purchasing the CS4 Master version on my school's site.  The CS4 Master price has stayed the same on my school's site for as long as I can remember (long before the CS5 launch was announced).  I assumed when CS5 came out the price would remain the same since it's not discounted for anything other than being a student version.  Did Adobe increase their student version pricing starting with this CS5 version or is there just a difference between the price through the Adobe Student store versus what you can get through individual schools?

  • CS4 - CS5 Student Edition Upgrade?

    Hi,
    I've done a forum search on this subject, if it is possible to upgrade a student edition license, and it seems to be a few contriversing answers every time it is asked. So i'm gonna ask one more time myself to see if anyone has the definate answer yet. When CS5 is shipped, will it be possible to upgrade from CS4 Production Premium Student Edition to CS5 Production Premium Student Edition? Or do i have to buy it again as the new version? Also a minor question that i'm sure wont be an issue but just checking, with CS5 installed as well as CS4, CS4 will still run too correct?

    It seems that the upgrade from CS4 to CS5 (I have Design Premium) is only $US50 more than the new student edition; so, even if you essentially were unable to prove or meet eligibility requirements, it would not be that big of a problem in terms of cash. I think the bigger question is if your institution provides software vouchers; I was able to obtain one for CS4, and am thinking I should get one for CS5 as my courses are going to utilize the new software beginning next quarter. Of course, this is a question for the gamit of acadamic and financial counselors who would work this out for you, but something to consider if you're seriously worried about the out-of-pocket expense. On a positive note, if you have to pay for it yourself, it can be used as a tax deduction come filing season.

  • Upgrade from CS3 Student Version to CS4 Standard failed!

    Problem:
    Got a new MacBook Pro 10.9.5 and had to install all my CS software new.
    (NOW: I can't open any of my old CS5.5 files, because only CS3 is working at the moment)
    I'm having:
    CS5.5 master collection upgrade (not working. it says: need an CS4 upgrate!)
    CS3 Design Standard Student Version (is working)
    I recently bought:
    CS4 Standard upgrate (to get back to my own CS5.5 master collection upgrade)
    But now CS4 Standard ask for my CS3 Design Student Version serial number and it is not working, but the serial number is correct!
    I need to choose an Adobe CS3 product, but there is no CS3 Standard Student Version. If I choose CS3 Design Standard my serial number isn't working.
    Can anyone help me?

    I didnt even know contribute went to 4.4 I thought 4.1 or 4.11 was the last version in the 4 series.

  • Student version questions

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of purchasing the student version of Photoshop and I have a few questions.
    I know you can install the non-student version on two machines in the home as long as you don't use both simultaneously ... is this the same for the student version?
    Also does the student version have 32 and 64 bit versions on the disk?
    Can the student version be upgraded in the future via a student upgrade or does it cost the full upgrade amount?
    Wondering if I should get the current version CS5 or wait a while if there is a new version on the horizon?
    Apart from not being able to resell the software, are there any other downsides to getting the student version?
    Thanks
    Patrick

    Also does the student version have 32 and 64 bit versions on the disk?
    As far as I know there is no special »student-installer«, so you would get the same product as anybody else.
    Wondering if I should get the current version CS5 or wait a while if there is a new version on the horizon?
    It seems CS6 may be released this year.
