Use educational-version for paid work?

Hello there!
A while ago I bought Adobe Production Premium 5.5 with student discount and I wonder however it is legal to use the student licenses for paid work. Like, selling a movie made in Premiere Pro. Is that allright?
Best regards,
Rasmus

I have had this conversation with the Adobe powers-that-be.
There is no "educational version". There is an "educational discount".
If you earned the right to the discount by being a student or teacher, then that is all that is required. Or, if you are the second user of a Home PC and the other person qualified for the discount, and you are using their license, then you are OK.
The point of the discount for students is that they will eventually grow up, lose the discount, and pay full price because the Adobe software is what they know and they won't want to change.
The point for teachers is that it gets used in classrooms where students see it, and the parents of the students may ask what software was used and they may buy it for their child, etc.
The idea is that once you start using software, it creates a loyalty and people habitually stick with what they know.
When my wife does little animations for her classroom, or when I help her with video, or I do Pro Bono work for the school, the parents are quite often interested in discussing how the results were created. I live fairly close to Silicon Valley and some of the parents are highly technical. I know for a fact that some have signed up for the Creative Cloud because of conversations we have had about the videos I shot of their children.
This is especially true when I shoot a concert or dance recital, and the parents do too. Then they see theirs, and they see mine, and are puzzled why mine looks better. Seems to have had more light, or is smoother. Or they really like the animated titles. Whatever.
Adobe knows this kind of stuff happens, and they encourage it with educational discounts. But there are no restrictions on the use of the software. Only on the qualification for the discount.

Using education version for professional/commercial purposes

Can anyone help me out with this? I've gone through Adobe customer support, in several different manners, and get several different answers to this.I've also found different answers on the forums too.
I am currently a student and using an education version of Web PremiumCS4, purchased through Adobe, with a valid student ID. I am getting interest in freelance work and would like to eventually use my programs for professional uses. However, from what I understand, that would currently go against the educational product license agreement.
To me, it would make sense that a student using the product to learn how to become a professional, using the product for their career choice, would eventually want to use their same copy for commercial reasons. So far, I've been told I have to purchase the full version with the commercial license in order to be able to use it without legal concern. Why in the world would I purchase the product all over again when the copy I have is exactly the same, just the legal agreements are different?? Ive also been told that I can trade in my educational product, receive credit for the price I paid and pay the remaining difference to buy the same program, just with a commercial license.
Clarity please!
Thanks,
Shelbie

Hey Shelbie, the really good news is, when you do graduate and want to use the programs for true commercial work, then Adobe does give you a great deal to upgrade to the full commercial version from your student version. I upgraded from my student version of Web Standard CS3 to Web Premium CS4 for $559 compared to having to pay $1499 for it. It is a huge savings compared to what someone off the street has to pay.

Can you use educational version of either CS5 or CS6 for freelance work on your private computer

Yes/ no/ perhaps. Depends on the specific S&T regulations. They're different for each country.

I have not used my CS3 version for about 3-4 years. I tried to use it recently and I get a message about activation. Called the phone number recommended but no longer in use. How do I start using MY version I paid for? Using PC

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't continue in Hebrew. I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste. Does anyone know how to fix this? I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1. I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

Just clarifying:
Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

Using iMovie 2006. Afraid to use later versions for fear that I can't use many iMovies already archived. What shall I do?

Using iMovie 2006. Afraid to use later versions for fear that I can't use many iMovies already archived. What shall I do?

It would be a good idea to do close down all programs and do a permissions repair. Use the Utilities/Disk Utility application on your Mac hard drive and follow the on screen directions.
After that, with iMovie closed trash the file com.apple.iMovie.plist file located in User/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create a new file on relaunch.
If you are storing your project on an external hard drive, make sure that your external hard drive is formatted for Apple. Should be Mac OS extended. If you reformat, first remove all of your data on the external drive to another drive, because reformatting will erase all data on the drive.
Update all of your iLife programs to current, particularly Quicktime.
Finally, make sure that you have enough free disk space on your startup drive--at least 10GB, and more is better.

How can i install version 3.6.16 on my mobile device. that is the supported version for my work website

how can i install version 3.6.16 or a 3 version of firefox on my mobile device. it is required for my work. i have an android system. if there is currently not an option, can one be created? thanks!

There is no version of Firefox mobile for 3.6. You can try using the Phony extension and in the preferences set the User Agent setting to 'Desktop Firefox'.

"Use this mailbox for" not working for Spam on one mac but fine on another

I have Mail running on my Macbook Pro using IMAP. I have a business email account and a personal email account both with the same mail provider. When I create the account it creates a folder under the IMAP folders for Sent, Trash and Spam. I highlight each of these and use the "Use this mailbox for" command to set them for Sent, Trash and Junk respectively. This moves the folders up under the Mailboxes section at the top of mail. Everything is great.
Now, exactly the same on my brand new iMac. When I get to the part about "Use this mailbox for", Sent and Trash work exactly the same as on the Macbook Pro but Spam stubbornly refuses to change and I am left with an extra folder under the IMAP folders.
I am using the same version of OS X, the same version of mail and exactly the same setting in mail preferences. I don't understand why I can't get the Spam folder to be used as Junk? ANyone out there got any ideas?

I have the same problem on my new MBP with Snow Leopard. I have multiple gmail accounts in Mail with IMAP. I can set the Sent/Drafts/Trash mailboxes to be used by Mail. But when I do the same with the Spam mailbox nothing happens at all.
This is really annoying as I now have to go through all of my Spam mailboxes manually to check if there is a false positive. This seems to be a bug in Apple Mail? I also tried to set up all my accounts again but it didn't help, same problem.

Educational versions for non-profits?

Hi, I am working for a non-profit organisation and we would love to have photoshop and illustrator, but can't afford the commercial products. Are we able to purchase the educational version?

There is this link

But in New Zealand we have an organisation that distributes highly discounted software to non profit and Community organisations. I don't know where you are posting from, but Google might find something similar for your location.

Any idea how you can safely use ONE computer for BOTH work and internet?

I'm planning to set up a small music project studio, built around a powerbook, that I will be sharing with a friend of mine. My friend is going to use the computer for music AND heavy internet use, but I will only use it for music work (off-line).
The thing is then that I am slightly worried about viruses, worms, spyware and similar unwanted stuff 'sneaking in' when the laptop is online. Even with firewall and anti-virus I guess there is always a risk.
Any idea if there is a way of keeping things completely separate?
How about if I had a bootable external hard drive for my work, with the Mac OS system on. Then when I'm working I could boot up from that drive (and use the computer off-line).
Maybe we could even remove the internal hard drive from the powerbook (?), and use the powerbook with two external hard drives instead: One bootable drive for me and another bootable drive for my studio partner (and then only connect one hard drive at the time).
Any idea if this would work well..? (I'm not sure if i.e. a virus could sneak in anyway, through the PRAM, L2 cache or the RAM or something similar) Or does anyone have any other suggestions...? Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks!

Not too much worry with Macs, but get an Ethernet Router, skip Wireless, use strong Passwords.

Excellent idea, especially if the heavy Net user doesn't have Admin rights.
One bootable drive for me and another bootable drive for my studio partner (and then only connect one hard drive at the time).
Just about foolproof! Just need 2 more drives for backup. Not sure why you'd want to remove the internal HD though.
No Viruses yet in OSX land, in fact the only Malware I know about requires you to install it for itself!
You'll be OK, that separate drives idea is pure genius.:-)

Firefox tabs close when I click on a tab and windows become unresponsive after I launch a site. Using latest version for MacOSX. How do I fix this bug? Have already tried a bunch of things.

Firefox tabs close when I simply click on a tab and windows become unresponsive after I launch a site. I am using the latest version for MacOSX but this happened a couple days ago with an older version of Firefox as well. Is this some kind of bug? How do I fix this bug? Have already tried a bunch of things like clearing/reinstalling etc. This does not help.

Using an 11" for development work

I was wondering about the usability of the 11" for development work (I'd go the 1.6 with 4gig)
I will generally work with a monitor, but I'm wondering about the performance given the slower CPU.
Has anyone tried Eclipse? When a browser, etc, is running?
Compiling? What about VM stuff?
I was originally set on the 13", but the portability would be great. So long as it's not grinding along.
Thanks!

You would usually apply one background image to one element.
Your code is applying the same jpg to several elements.
Here is an example of CSS code that applies one png image to
the background of a div with the id name of wrapper2.
#wrapper2 {
background: url(../images/secondary_content_faux_column.png)
repeat-y 77% 0;
The html could look something like this:
<body>
<div id="wrapper2">
</div>
</body>
The code repeat-y 77% 0; tells the image to repeat vertically
and position itself using percentage values. More commonly pixels
are used for positioning using top and left as the preferred start
point.
Check your html and css code are working correctly together.
You can also check that you file path to the image and the image
and id or class names are correct.

Purchased Lightroom educator version for use on Mac with Yosemite and it won't open. It crashes overtime I try to open it.

I purchased Lightroom for use on a MAC using the new operating system of Yosemite, and it crashes every time it tries to open. I have removed and reinstalled it, but it does not help. Is this program mac compatible? How can I get it to work?

This should not be so difficult, and really does not require a screenshot, or a chain of a dozen email.
The message says “Lightroom quit unexpectedly. Click report to send a report to apple.” There is no error number or any other message. That is it.
It has been installed, removed and reinstalled.
IT DOES NOT OPEN.
How do I resolve this. I have now spent hours on this issue and I am in the same place.

Better to buy refurb or use education discount for new?

I have a 4 year old 15 inch macbook pro, and would like to sell it and get a new one.
I can get the education pricing, as I teach at a university. So, I am comparing 2 options:
New (July 2014) 15 in Macbook pro, 2.5 GHz quad-core i7, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA 2 GB card, 1 TB flash drive - $3199 new, but $2949 with education pricing (Canadian dollars), and also get $110 Apple gift card (so essentially costing $2839)
or there is an Oct. 2013 15 inch model w/ these specs: 2.6 GHz quad-core i7, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA 2 GB card, 1 TB flash drive - $2719 Canadian
so the refurbished model is $120 less, and slightly faster processor.
But are there any advantages to the new one? Eg. is the processor different (and better)? Is the battery life better on the newer one?
I gather the case, and the components are mostly the same, but for the little extra cost, should I get the new one?
Would the newer one have better resale value 4-5 years down the road?

Kontakt works fantastic with Logic. EXS is a decent sampler, but at this point it very much lags in features compared with other sample playback plugins.
Kontakt is also cross platform and works with any audio software so if you ever switch from Logic you'll still be able to use those samples. I know some guys are huge EXS fans but for me going Kontakt would be a no brainer.
You do have to buy the Kontakt plugin for many libraries (some work with a free version of Kontakt). This month they have upgrades and crossgrades on sale for half price, there are lots of third party Kontakt libraries that are eligible for the Kontakt crossgrade.

Use educational-version for paid work?
