Upgrading lightroom 4 student edition

If I purchased Lightroom 4 as a student, and now want to upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom but am no longer a student, can I purchase the regular upgrade to do this?

Yes. The student edition is the exact same program, just different licensing and pricing. And having purchased the student edition qualifies you to purchase any subsequent upgrade.

Upgrading the student edition via Online

Hi.
I'm thinking of upgrading my student edition Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master collection to a commercial edition. So I want to download the upgrade via online. Is this the correct way to do it? When I choose from what I want to upgrade, I don't find a student edition. Shall I choose 5.5 master collection? Is it gonna work well?
I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks

Yes, choosing CS5.5 as the version from which you are upgrading is the way to go. There is no functional difference between a student version and what you call a commercial version.

No.

What is the best way to properly activate the Lightroom Student Edition? Is the Student Edition a permanent program or does it deactivate after 2-4 years like some other programs that are student versions?

I just purchased the student edition of Lightroom! I am very excited to use it and start creating beautifully edited photos but I'm a little unsure about a few things. It says I have to prove my eligibility to use the student edition which won't be an issue but what is the quickest and easiest way to submit this proof? Also I am concerned that the student edition will be temporary and I will have bought this program only to have it expire at the end of 4 years like some other programs that are student versions. Is the student edition of Lightroom a permanent program that I will have for life or will it deactivate after I graduate?

When I purchased my academic version of Lightroom, it was a package set. Inside was a yellow card with the instructions on how to verify that I qualified for the academic discount. I submitted my academic e-mail address and other info as requested on that yellow card. Within 5 min. I received my serial number. Very straightforward. I had no problems whatsoever.
There is only one version of the Lightroom program itself. The only difference is in the licensing and pricing. If you qualify for the academic discount, by all means use it. You are purchasing the same Lightroom program that anyone else does. It doesn't expire, there are no missing features, and it can be upgraded when new major versions are released. Those upgrades will cost the same as they cost for any other person, regardless of how they purchased Lightroom.
You can confidently move ahead with obtaining your serial number. The only thing you are doing differently is paying a lower initial purchase price because of your academic status.

Lightroom Student Edition License

I've just purchased the Student Edition of Lightroom 3. I know that Lightroom is multi-platform software, but I'm still unsure about the license. I currently have a PC laptop, but am planning to upgrade to a Mac within the next year. Will I be able to use the same license on a new computer?
Thanks!

Yes and you will be able to have it installed on both computers as long as you are not using them both at the same time.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Lightroom Student Edition auf älteren PC nutzen und in Zukunft deaktivieren

Hallo miteinander.
Ich habe da eine Frage. Und zwar würde ich mir gerne Lightroom 5 in der Student / Teacher Edition kaufen. Allerdings habe ich einen etwas älteren PC mit Windows Vista. Lightroom 4.4 in der Testversion läuft auf dem Rechner einwandfrei. Wollte mir aber in naher Zukunft einen neuen PC kaufen.
Deswegen meine Fragen:
- Kann ich mit der Lizenz für Lightroom 5 auch Lightroom 4 nutzen und
- wenn ja kann ich meine Lizenz auf dem alten PC deaktivieren sobald ich einen neuen PC mit Windows 8 habe und diese dann mit Lightroom 5 nutzen?.
Wollte mir Lightroom 5 unbedingt bald kaufen, da ich nicht mehr lange studiere aber das Geld für einen neuen PC muss ich noch sparen
Bitte kann mir jemand meine Fragen beantworten?
Danke im Voraus

- Kann ich mit der Lizenz für Lightroom 5 auch Lightroom 4 nutzen und
Nein.
- wenn ja kann ich meine Lizenz auf dem alten PC deaktivieren sobald ich einen neuen PC mit Windows 8 habe und diese dann mit Lightroom 5 nutzen?.
Klaro!

Upgrade Lightroom 1 Student version?

Back in early 2007, I purchased the academic edition of Lightroom 1. However, I am no longer a student and cannot purchase the student version of Lightroom 2.
Will the regular Lightroom 2 Upgrade version upgrade my student edition of Lightroom 1?
Thanks for your help!

I don't know where you got that information from but, happily, it is wrong. Adobe has a very liberal updating policy. I've updated from an Educational Version of CS 3 times. Once you pay for the first upgrade, you have a full version, not a student version, and you can upgrade accordingly from there. As long as you're the legal, registered, activated user, just buy the upgrade and install it. You'll have no issues (at least with licensing.)

There are no upgrades for student editions. You simply buy a fresh license at the discounted price.

Upgrading student edition for commercial use?

hello
i have called up the Adobe customer service line twice now and been given two different answers to my questions, so i have decided i would give the adobe forum a go as you guys seem on the ball, and most likely don't work in an Indian call centre.
My two questions are:
1) Can CS4 design premium student edition be used for commercial use in Australia?
( It seems like a stupid question because it says not for commercial gain, but i have called up the Adobe customer service line and i was told i was able to use it for commercial gain. I made sure to note that i was in Australia and not in North America.)
2) If i cannot, am i able to upgrade the student edition so i can use it for commercial gain? If Yes can you please share with me a link or supply some further information.
( The second call centre guy said yes to this question, but didn't explain himself very well.)
Any information would be appreciated, as i hope to start doing some commercial work this year.

Hi Wyllium,
I do not know where you found the above information, but here are few links on Adobe site which confirms that the Education version products can be used for commercial purpose:

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.
