Teacher Licensing Restrictions

Hi guys,
I'm a teacher in Portugal, and I'm considering to purchase the Teacher and Student Edition of the Creative Cloud membership. But I have a question.
Can I use the Teacher and Student Edition for commercial work? All information seems to say “Yes”, but I tried to call a local reseller, and they told me the Student and Teacher Editions can NOT be used for commercial purposes. I tend to believe that they have the wrong information, because the official Adobe site says that I can.
So, who's right on this?
Thanks!

Thanks, Michael. I've tried searching the site and looking for that particular information, but I couldn't find it.
There's a link for an Education FAQ, but it redirects me to UK's Educational FAQ, which states nothing regarding commercial usage of Student and Teacher editions: http://www.adobe.com/uk/support/service/ts/documents/ols_edu_eu.htm
When I'm trying to buy Adobe Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition through Adobe Education Store - Europe, there's only this information:
Restrictions on use
You may purchase only one license of any Adobe Student and Teacher Edition product within a 12 month period. Purchases of Suite editions (such as Design & Web Premium or Master Collection) are limited to one title per platform per year. This license may be used only on your privately owned computer. Student and Teacher Edition products may not be resold
So, if the Portuguese store doesn't explicitly forbid commercial usage, do Adobe's rules (which allow) apply?

  • "Student and Teacher Edition" vs. "Student and Teacher Licensing"?

    My university participates in the "Student and Teacher Licensing" program, where the university gets volume discounts on Adobe products and the students are able to pick up software for below the standard "Student and Teacher Edition" prices. The university sells both versions. I was hoping someone could help clarify two things:
    1) Is there any difference, to the end user, between these two versions of the same software? From what I have read on the Adobe website, they should be identical, aside from how the end-user authenticates/activates the software.
    2) My primary concern is whether I can use the "Student and Teacher Licensing" version for commercial use (I don't want to be restricted regarding being able to sell my photos processed in Photoshop). It is stated in the "Student and Teacher Edition" FAQ that you *can* use that version for commercial purposes (FAQ here), however the documentation for the "Licensing" option is not as clear on this issue (PDF here, page 5 for FAQ).
    Can anyone clarify for me if there actually is any distinction between these two licensing methods, or if they actually are identical to the end-user aside from activation method and cost?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    You can use student and teacher edition for profit it is licensed just the same as commercial. I can't find a link for the student version eula anywhere but I know I've read before from adobe that you can.

    Also, does "your private computer" mean you can't switch computers? If I were to purchase a new computer would I be unable to transfer to that one?
    No, that just means you can't install it on organization, educational , commercial or government computers. only your personal computer.

  • Licensing restrictions on RE-use of HP (small business) notebook HW components?

    Licensing restrictions on RE-use of HP (small business) notebook HW components?
    I realize that it is illegal to use some of the (OEM) software that was distributed with the refurbished HP nw8440 Mobile Pro Workstation (small business HP Compaq notebook) I bought (direct from HP) on a different computer system (than the one the software came with).
    My question, though concerns the hardware (hard disk, keyboard, memory modules, speakers, mouse, etc.) components that came with it.
    Specifically, is it legal for me to use such hardware components on a different computer system (than the one the software came with), or even to sell it, give it away, or dispose of it (separately from the HP computer system that it came with)?
    The reason I ask is that one of the licensing agreements that came with the system said something like:
    The initial user of the product may make a one-time transfer of the product to another end-user. ... The transfer may not be an indirect transfer, such as a consignment.
    and I'm retiring this (Windows XP) computer, and am unfamiliar with such licensing terms.
    I just started using its hard drive in an older desktop we have whose hard drive failed.
    I believe that should be OK license-wise, but it made me wonder what restrictions, if any, I might have on other future uses of such hardware.
    Thank you.

    P.S. - Please forgive me if this is not the right place to ask this question. I wasn't sure where to ask it.

    Is there something that I need to show as proof of being a student yet?   I had to give my student id number in order to get the serial number.  I did not use my student e-mail address though. If that is the issue I can supply that also.  <Removed by Moderator>

    I get this message when I am trying to save a file that was done in CS4, now using  CS6 "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again." Even if I start a new file I unable to save it with this font. I need to use this font.

    Then you need to outline all text before savng the PDF.
    Make sure you do this on a copy of the file.

  • Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction

    I have used the same video camera Canon which shoots AVCHD for 2 years now and had Adobe CS 5 Production Premium for Windows, CS 5.5 for Mac and now Creative Cloud on both a Mac and Windows 7 64 bit computer. No problems inputting the same footage week after week until about 2 months ago. Now on the Windows PC the audio in my video does not get conformed when videos are imported. Instead I get a "Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for <my path to .MTS file> This installation does not have a license to decode Dolby Digital audio.". Did Adobe put out a Creative Cloud update that broke something? I do not have this problem on the Mac. But the Windows PC is my video production machine and needs to be working again. Please help.

    I unsintalled and reinstalled PP CS 6. When I imported the files again, 2 of them no longer gave the error and conformed the audio, but 2 other files gave a new error (forget what that one was) and did not conform. I got the camera back today as these were videos copied from the camera memory to SD card, then onto hard drive. Connecting the camera directly I was able to copy directly from the camera to my computer and when I import that file into PP, it can conform the audio no problem.
    Also, one of the videos was supposedly corrupted and could not load at all that was copied from the SD card and was the same when reading the card directly from my Mac and PC. I was able to copy it directly from camera to hard drive and it imported with no issues.
    Could it be that a bad sector on the SD card causes the video to be corrupted when copied, then transferred bad video to PC? Should that cause PP to throw this licensing issue though? Adobe should at least know under what coding circumstances they would throw such a specific error. Maybe it could instead say the audio in the video is corrupt or something. I will update this again if next time something different happens again.

  • Myriad Roman licensing restrictions on someone else's template:

    Hello!
    To elaborate - I'm working on a CD artwork, and I'd like to upload all the designs as PDFs.  This is the first time I've done work on these documents on the computer I'm on now, and when I went to save my Illustrator file to a PDF after some new edits, I got a message that the font Myriad-Roman would not embed because of licensing restrictions.  Where there used to be some text in the template, there is now just a bunch of gibberish.
    I'm at a loss, because the font is not something I've placed in the document, it's a font that was part of the template I'm working with from disc makers.  I don't know how to fix the issue, or how to get around it.  Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hi Dov,
    While I'm not specifically sure about the font's origins, I am positive it is not part of the Myriad Pro family, as that has been a part of my font library since purchasing the Adobe CS6 package a couple of years ago, and has worked fine the whole time.  From what I could tell in other searches and forum answers here, Myriad Roman is part of an older font package distributed by Adobe.  With that being said, I may still be able to find something off if I check the file access privileges, so I will try that.
    The reason I'm not sure how to resolve the issue is because the template is still vital as part of the files that I need to send off.  I'm not familiar enough with their workflow to know whether or not changing something like that in the template could accidentally affect their ability to use the data to print the images.  I think the chances of causing a problem by just changing the font in the template to Myriad Pro are small/negligible, but until I can contact the company tomorrow I won't know for sure. 
    My hope was that there was some kind of fix for the licenses/authorization, or that there was some original files I could buy/download to have the proper rights to use the font in the template and just not worry about it.
    If you've got any other useful information that could help in those regards, I would be extremely grateful!

  • Font Licensing Restriction Issue

    I recently transferred a lot of ttf and otf fonts (originally purchased for and used on a Windows NT machine) to Mac Book Pro. When I try to use the fonts in Abode CS5.5 (In illustrator) I'm told I need a license. Won't let me embed the fonts, for example, when saving to a PDF. (1) Is this a Mac issue or an Adobe issue? (2) How do I resolve?
    The Illustrator message reads: "The font [name] could not be embedded in the PDF document because of licensing restrictions. Stroked text will not be visible."

    It may be the Mac is more up-to-date with font restriction enforcement, dunno, you may have to Google it. I've run into this for years, generally with free fonts, so before I am ready to produce the final PDF I just outline the font which works fine for print pieces of all sizes but not for online documents with many pages due to file size as the outline shapes are certainly larger in file size than font references based on shapes in fonts that can be embedded.
    You may want to consider asking the font developer first before purchasing again as just repurchasing may not get rid of a "non-embed" setting in a file if that is what the font developer wants there.
    So your options are: use your old Windows workflow, outline fonts, or contact the font developer. Nothing else anyone on discussion boards can do for you.

I tried downloading from the available downloads but the product code i have doesn't work. Where can i find a CS5.5 design standard student and teacher licensing download?

    There is no specific version designated for student/teacher versions, the software you get is the same as any other 'version'... the serial number is what designates the version status.  You might have used the wrong product code or maybe you need to adjust your approach to the attempt to acquiring the download.

  • I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 from a disc, but I am told my serial number is invalid (student and teacher licensing)

    Does student and teacher licensing expire after a certain amount of time? I know I am entering the correct serial number, but I am told it is not valid. What gives?

    in this case I would load down a version from there Download CS5.5 products (not from your disk) and change it with your serial number as described. See

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction

    I have a Macbook Pro and a Mac Pro. They are both running Premiere Pro CS6 v6.0.2. On my Macbook Pro, I started a project using AVCHD media in the form of .mts files. I believe these files have Dolby Digital Audio. I have project managed all of the files onto my external harddrive for editing on my Mac Pro; however, as I open the project file I recieve an error message "This installation does not have a license to decode Dolby Digital audio". If I then open a different project and check the error log, I see the error "Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction on file..."
    Sometimes when opening the project I also get an error "There is no Preset for this sequence..." or something similar. I cannot rememeber exactly.
    I have the exact same plugins on both my Mac Pro and Macbook Pro. They are running the same version and they are both activated on my Creative Cloud membership. Any thoughts on why I can't open the project on my Mac Pro?

    In short after reading LOTS of people complaining like you have, like I have like probably about 1 million people who own AVCHD cameras have that the most used format to shoot on for home /semi pro users is AVCHD and Premiere... get ready for this... take a deep breath.... DOESNT SUPPORT ITS AUDIO FILES. Its apparently licensed by DOLBY and you ahve to contact and minktonka company and pay.... really sit down first... take another deep breath... they want $300 for the plugin to make it work.
    So Adobe have shafted.... is that a polite enough word... its customers who just want to play their files - not even encode the project to dolby digital - just play and edit their stuff. No even though you own that camera which only lets you shoot in that format and even though you are stuck wanting Premiere, adobe thinks that for the large monthly sum the world can go sit on its finger before they will sort this out.
    Charming huh.
    Adobe are you listening..... hello Adobe... have you gone mad Adobe... hello. Earth calling Adobe.
    As someone pointed out you can play these files on quicktime, media player... so seems apple and microsoft PAY THEIR LICENCES ON BEHALF OF THE USERS OF THEIR PRODUCTS. Adobe must either be skinflints or maybe a nephew of theirs owns Minkytonkatoy firm who are selling that annoying plugin. Ever heard of download sites... cough cough.

  • Master Collection Student and Teacher Licensing Commercial Use?

    Hello,
    I purchased the CS5 Master Collection from my college under this program.
    I know it's a perpetual license and that I can upgrade to a commercial version of CS6.
    I live in North America and purchased CS5 in North America as well, so I think it's permitted to use this for commercial work. Does anyone know for certain?
    EDIT: After a lot of reading through the forums and contacting Adobe helpdesk, it appears that I can use the CS5 Student and Teacher Licensing for commercial work now that I've graduated.
    Here's what the packaging looks like. There isn't a warning about non commercial use, so I'm going to go ahead and do some freelance work:
    Thank you, Adobe!
