Upgrading from student vr. of 5.5?

Hi, I am interested in purchasing Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium Student & Teacher Edition from Amazon.ca as it's cheaper & easier for me to use than CS6. My questions are, if I choose to upgrade to CS6 a) is an upgrade available from CS5.5 to CS6 b) how much does it cost and c) how much time left do I have to upgrade? I couldn't find the answer on the FAQ page, all I saw was something about a free upgrade which I'm pretty sure I wouldn't qulify for and the agent I spoke to was completely useless who just wanted me to buy CS6 outright...

Nobody can tell you anything. If you buy CS5.5 now and decide to upgrade to CS6 next year, that may no longer be possible. With this weeks announcement for the Creative Cloud only model you shouldn't expect conventional retail versions to be around forever. Also S&T versions can only be upgraded to commercial versions, so if you are still a student one year from now and want to avoid double-spending on the full suite, no matter the discounted price, you might as well buy CS6 now.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from Student version Lightroom 3 to a private Lightroom 5?

    I'm trying to find out if I can upgrade from my student version of Lightroom 3 to a private version of Lightroom 5, or do I have to buy the whole version of Lightroom 5? I would like to be sure about which to buy before I make a purchase and obviously make a saving if I can just purchase the upgrade.

    You can simply buy the upgrade, no need to buy the complete version.

  • Options for upgrade from Student?

    Hi,
    I'm currently well out of date with my CS version..currently still on CS3 of production premium (student edition)
    I'm looking to update this..im no longer a student anymore and am looking to upgrade to either production premium (standard edition) or design premium (standard)
    I've read online that I can upgrade from CS3 to CS6..however does this still work if you original copy was a student edition?
    Really dont want to have to buy a whole new set from scratch, so will have to look into just buying individual programs as needed if I can't.
    Have not been able to find an answer anywhere on this one.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Janine
    p.s. Sorry if i posted in the wrong section...

    Yes, commercial upgrades also work with S&T editions, you will just have to handle this through Adobe directly du to the serial number hocuspocus involved.

  • 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.

  • Is license upgraded from Student to Commercial transferable?

    Hello.
    I want to buy Student and Teacher CS6 license. I am aware, they are available for commercial work, but not transferable.
    When CS7 comes out, after upgrading my license, will I receive full commercial, transferable license, that wont be market as "student" in any way?
    I value the option to sell my license if somehow I would no longer have need for certain software (it alleviates the risk of the purchase). That would be great if it is the case, because cost of my Student license will somehow go toward cost of my commercial license.
    Best regards,
    Filip
    BTW. I live in Europe, if it matters

    No, because any Adobe upgrade is contingent on owning/keeping the previous version you upgraded from (having them both, they go together) — and that previous version in your case is an education edition that was purchased at a large discount and so is not transferrable...
    This is the case no matter where you are in the world.

  • Upgrade from student CS4 to eLearning 2.5

    I want to upgrade my student version to a full version of eLearning 2.5. Based on what I have read online, it appears to me that there is no problem upgrading to a full version suite. Is that correct?
    Thanks!

    The current version is located at http://www.adobe.com/products/elearningsuite.html
    The right side, near the top, has the link to buy... says "upgrade from $599"

  • Upgrading from Student Version question???

    If I have Final Cut Pro 5, the student version, am I able to upgrade that to Final Cut Pro 7, by just buying the upgrade for $300 from apple??

    No. Academic versions are not upgradeable.

  • Installing upgrade from student edition

    I purchased CS3 Master Collection in 2008 from VCU - so it was a student edition. Now I need to upgrade to CS6. I have 2 questions:
    1. can I upgrade to a commercial edition from a student edition?
    1. last week my Filevault encryption app on my Macbook grew so large that I had to disable it. That meant that I had to delete a lot of files including my CS3 to create the space.
    I do not know the technical aspects of upgrades. Do I need to reinstall my CS3. If I cannot find the discs can I get a download version from my license key on file?

    Thanks you for the quick response. I will definitely go ahead then.
    Happy holidays!

  • Upgrade from Student CS3

    Hi,
    I have the DW CS3 Student Version, which I have been using
    throughout my Web Design course (provided by the School). I would
    like to use this program commercially, which isn't allowed in the
    Student version.
    - Can I upgrade?
    - Or do I have to purchase the full version?
    - If I can upgrade, how much does it cost (I'm in the UK)?
    Many Thanks!
    Shelley

    I think David's point is that you should talk to the source
    rather than going to a public forum because no one from Adobe will
    respond in the public forum. Your question is a sales question that
    is better answered by sales staff rather than people who come here
    primarily for product support after purchase.
    I myself am from the US so I cannot attest to any terms or
    conditions that may be different for Adobe outside the US. Also the
    best prices I would be able to supply are ones using an online
    calculator, which from personal experience I can say are typically
    unreliable and usually not representative of pricing elsewhere.
    I would follow David's advice on this one because people can
    say one thing here, but Adobe will have the final word on the
    discussion.

  • Upgrading from Student Edition (no longer student)

    I currently have a student edition license for LR2, but am no longer a student.  Can I buy the upgrade to LR4 do I need to start over without the upgrade?

    Your version of LR3 is the same as the full paid version its just that you paid less for the license being a student. Upgrading to LR4 will be fine. If you installing on the same computer then the serial number from LR 3 will be recognised when you input the upgrade serial number and the program will be installed.
    If you are installing on a  new computer, when you enter the LR 4 upgrade serial number you will be requested to imput the previous version number so you need to have the number handy.

  • Upgrading from student editions to CS5 ?

    Hi,
    I currently have a student edition of Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, and Illustrator 10. I would like to upgrade these to the Adobe CS5 professional versions, but I am not sure if I can since they are so old. Or can I upgrade these to the Adobe CS5 Design package?
    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately, that won't work. All MX versions (student, full retail etc) are too old to qualify for an upgrade.
    Adobe has a "3-versions-back" policy for upgrading these days.
    So the only versions eligible for an upgrade to CS5 are DW8, CS3 and CS4.

  • Upgrade from student version to regular version.

    Hi,
    I purchased a student version of LR4 about a year ago.  Now I want to purchase a non-student version of LR5.  Can I just buy the upgrade or do I need to buy LR5?  If LR5 will I then have both LR4 and LR5 on my MAC?

    Yes, you can buy the upgrade "version" of Lightroom 5. Actually, there is only one version of Lightroom. The program is the same. There are just different licensing provisions. When you install Lightroom 5 you will have both versions on your computer. They will work independently of each other. You can keep Lightroom 4 for as long as you want. I still have it on my computer, but will probably remove it soon because I very seldom use it anymore.
    Since you have Lightroom 4 installed, the installation of the new version will find the needed serial number, and you only have to enter the serial number with the new version.

  • Upgrading from student edition to full

    I am currently running CS3 Design Premium student edition, but need to upgrade because I'm starting a business. Am I eligible to get the upgrade edition of CS4 or do I have to buy the full version?

    To clarify: Your education edition is indeed eligible for an upgrade to CS4 just as if it were a normal version of Creative Suite 3 Design Premium.
