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:

    Hi Mike,
    for me the license agreement wasn't totally clear in some areas and after a misunderstanding with Oracle Sales in Germany I decided to talk to Oracle Product Management, here is the answer: http://daust.blogspot.de/2012/08/clarification-on-oracle-xe-licensing.html
    It is definitely free for all commercial usages.
    Cheers,

  • Student/Teacher edition for commercial use?

    I received the student/teacher version of the CS6 Master collection from my school which I am currently enrolled at and I have recently started a production company with some colleagues and will be heavily using Premier Pro, After Effects and other applications for our business. We will be making money for our services so my question is will it be ok for me to use the student/teacher edition or will I need to get a CC subscription for commercial use?
    Thanks!
    Richard

    is will it be ok for me to use the student/teacher edition
    Yes.
    Best explained here:

  • Student License for commercial-use, in Italy

    Hi there!
    I would want to buy a student license for Flash Professional CS5, but I have some doubts about it.
    Can I use this kind of license for commercial use, like creating websites for works, or selling my games on Steam?
    I've read a older topic, and someone said that policy varies depending on the states, so I would like to be sure before buying it.

    Hey there Attilio, you should find the answer in the student edition FAQ for your country:

  • Education editions for commercial use

    I am a full-time student, so I am eligible to purchase an education edition (not student edition, I am aware there is a difference).
    I have read on many different websites that education editions can be used for commercial use, but I just want to confirm that this is true in Australia, and is for ANY commercial use - I am starting a business while still a full-time student, so I will have my own ABN and everything.

    You can in the US you can't in Europe. I don't know about Australia. You will need to call Adobe Australia.

    Can I use Student and Teacher Edition products commercially?
    Yes, Student and Teacher Edition products can be used commercially.
    There is no information or limitation set on the FAQ for the EMEA region. So in my opinion it is not true there are differences on commercial work

  • Upgrading Student Edition to Commercial

    Hello,
    I'm from the UK and considering buying the student edition of CS5 (Design Premiem) as I'm doing a part time course at a university in May. I want to know what the cost is to upgrade this to the commerical edition so I can then upgrade to CS6 when the time comes. I can't seem to find any information on the price of this upgrade.
    I want to work out if it's more cost effective to do this or to just buy the commerical editon straight away.
    Thank you

    No CS6 has been announced at this time.
    Traditionally, the upgrade costs of the two scenarios you provide would be the same. I strongly recommend you wait!

  • As a student in the UK, would I be able to legally use a CS5.5 student license for commercial use?

    And if so, will I be able to continue using it commercially when I am no longer a student?
    If you are able to answer, please cite a source.
    Thanks!

    I read over the product license agreement for flash, I couldn't find anything about the student version. I have done a bit of research, and according to this site I can use the student and teacher editions commercially. However I'm unsure of whether this applies to the UK. I realise you won't have the answers, but could you possibly point me in the right direction? For instance, is there anywhere on the site that would allow me to talk with an actual adobe representative?
    Thanks for the reply!

  • CS4 Student Edition - Can my daughter use this for commercial use after she has finished her studies?

    I have searched all day, having phoned 6 different numbers and researched everywhere to not get a definate answer to this question. We are in the UK, I do not want to spend money on software which she cannot legally use after her studies to produce work which she can sell commercially. Some forum answers are relevant for North America only or are a little out of date refering to Education Licenses. Please help!! One person said they embed a watermark to prevent commercial use but is this an education copy or a student edition?

    Within limits, yes, but as you stated you are in the UK, I don't think it is "allowed". Refer to this link: http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentedition/faq.html
    I'll copy the text for sake of ease.
    Do the Student Editions have restricted functionality?
    Adobe Student Editions give the end user all the features and functionality of the commercial versions. The software may be used only on a privately owned computer, and the end user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student Edition license.
    Is there a time limit on using the Student Editions?
    No, there is no time limit on using the Student Editions.
    Can a Student Edition also be used for commercial purposes?
    In North America, Student Edition software can be used for commercial purposes. Outside North America, Student Edition software is for noncommercial purposes only.
    How many versions of a Student Edition can I purchase?
    Each eligible person may purchase only one copy per Adobe Student Edition. For example, a student may purchase only one copy of Creative Suite 4 Design Premium Student Edition. If that student buys an additional copy of Design Premium Student Edition, no serial number will be issued for it.
    How many computers can I use a Student Edition on?
    A Student Edition license can be installed on up to two computers (for example, a desktop and laptop). Activation ensures that no more than two computers can have the same serial number.
    Can I upgrade from a Student Edition?
    Yes, a  Student Edition can be upgraded to a commercial version.
    Can I resell a Student Edition?
    The end user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student Edition license.
    Can I use a Student Edition after I graduate?
    Yes, after you graduate, you may continue to use your Student Edition; the license does not expire.
    Can I use a Student Edition  on a computer at school?
    No, you may use your  Student Edition only on your own private computer.

  • Can I use Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection Edition for Commercial Purposes?

    The title says all. Can I use the student edition of Creative Suite Master Collection CS5.5 for business and commercial purposes? I will use it to create a website for my mother's business, possibly a trailer, a logo, and art along the way. Also, I would like to make videos for a YouTube channel. Can I use the student edition for that?

    Are the Student and Teacher Edition products the same as the commercial products?
    Yes. Adobe Student and Teacher Editions are the same full-version software products.
    So this would count as a yes, correct?
