What do I do with old student version of software?

A couple years back I got the student version of Adobe Design Standard CS4. I have since upgraded to CS6 and no longer have any use for my Design Standard software. The discs are just sitting there in the box.
My question is, what do I do with it? I've been told I can't sell it because it's a student version. But what do I with it? I'd hate to just throw it out, but it doesn't serve any purpose for me to hold onto it. Is there a buyback or recycle program?

Cenamaria2787 I would recommend you verify your software license for CS4 is available under your account. You can find information on how to locate your serial nimber under your account at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
For the discs themselves I am not aware of any specific recycling programs for DVDs or CDs. You are also correct that since it is the educational version you can not sell the software.

What can go wrong with old & new versions on same start up disk

I know Apple have recommended that you should partition your disk and run old and new versions on different sides.
With an imac, I'm thinking that I can't partition without wiping a whole load of stuff and I cant put in a new drive because it's all sealed.
By leaving my mac as it is and having both versions on the same start up, what is the worst that can happen? Will preference settings get confused?
Thanks for reading - hope you have an answer

I had both installed together for a while. I did this before Apple released the guide recommending how it should be done.
They were playing fine together for a while, then suddenly (and I am not sure what I did to trigger this) FCP7 just wouldn't open without generating Qmaster crash reports. I'm not sure what caused these, and I tried every geeky trick I knew to fix it. In the end I had to thoroughly wipe both off my system and I reverted to just 7.
I know from reading this forum that other people have experienced different results.

What's the score with old & new versions on same computer

Hi
Have read conflicting articles/blogs about having old FCP and FCPX on the same computer. I have even read a page from Apple saying that you should partition your drive and have both versions on separate start up disks. Is this the case? Seems a lot of people have had one version affecting the other.
I have an imac which is sealed so I can't put a new drive in there and I wouldn't feel confident partitioning as it will wipe all my stuff.
What to do?

Boot off an external fw disc. Install fcpx on that.

Is mountain lion compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc?

I have heard that Mountain Lion is not compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc. Is that true?

Can't say I've ever seen such error messages, and I've opened lots of files created back in OS 8. Also many more much older than that from Windows 95 and even MS-DOS.
Lucky for you; unlucky for me that an important Excel 2004 Chart gets corrupted when opened in Excel 2011!
I suspect the problem is in the conversion routine that Microsoft added to Office 2011 to update Excel 2004 files. How conversant are you historically with converting Excel 2004 files that contain charts to Excel 2011? Because your experience with OS 8, Windows 95 and even MS-DOS has no relevance on this issue.
Kurt Lang wrote:
You will notice, Kurt, that I based my advice to the OP as "if you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011..."
Yes, I saw it. But if everyone did what you would expect with your statement, no one would suggest upgrading to Office 2011. Besides, you're the one who stated "unable or unwilling", not the OP.
Are you always this argumentative, or is this my lucky day?
Many people suggest upgrading to Office 2011. I do it frequently in my other "workarounds" type of answers to the Rosetta in Lion/Mountain problem. I chose not to offer that solution here, and as I expected, someone else, namely you, did!
The problem was that you finished your suggestion with this comment: "Particularly when it isn't really necessary." Since this statement was not true in my case (it IS necessary for me to continue to use my important Excel 2004 file as well as some other historical files I have; and conceivably could be important to the OP), I posted the correction.
You also made the suggestion that: "...the cost of VM software isn't that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011." While certainly true in the vacuum of the OP asking specifically about Word 2004; when the OP becomes aware that his complete library of PPC applications will fail in Mountain Lion, your suggestion about the relative cost to upgrade may no longer be as relevant.
Lastly: Yes, I commonly state to similar OP's that if they are "unable" (because, for example, they may also have conversion problems with Office 2011, Appleworks 6, Freehand or other programs) or "unwilling" (perhaps they just cannot afford to upgrade all of their PPC apps at this time), that here is an alternative that will keep the status quo available to them, and buy them some more time to consider their options while continuing to use Lion/Mountain Lion and their PowerPC apps.
Is the relevance of my post to the OP's problem (and your reply to my solution) sufficiently clear for you now?

Allignment tool not available with the Student Version?

Is the Allignment tool not available with the Student Version? It appears to be clickable yet no action… Is there a preference I'm missing?

Shawn,
Educational is a full version.
You need to select (at least) two objects, then apply the deired Align operation(s).
If something is really wrong, you may have a look at the list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7

What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7 & missing MSVCR80.dll) - the DLL is not missing. tgried to install today and it failed - what a waste.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall go to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

Unpleasant surprise after buying my first iMAC- what do I do with old movies?

I just switched to the MAC after using Windows since it came out based on the promise that everything is so easy to perform with it...
I have many short movies (most just a few minutes long, a few 10-20 minutes) in different formats created by different camcorders. These movies are my most valuable electronic assets that I have and I want to safe keep them in some format that is "standard" and will be readable hopefully for many years.
I assumed that I can just move them into iMovie, have them safely in easy to manage/backup libraries. As I started looking into this I am seeing that there are all kind of format compatibility issues and that I might have to convert the movies one by one with 3rd party software and that it can take hours to do that for each. I know nothing about the technical aspects of movie making/editing. I didn't have this problem on Windows where all my movies and pictures could be easily viewed with the application that came with the Camcorder. The Camcorder doesn't seem to have a version of the application for the MAC. The file formats that I see are: VOB,IFO,BUP; NVC; m2ts.modd,m2ts.
I have one more week when I can return the MAC. It seems that I asked for a major headache that I was not aware of. Could someone enlighten me (or point me to relevant info) re. options I have for saving, viewing movies on the MAC? Maybe I just don't understand what I am dealing with. Thanks in advance.

Since the last post I looked at my old movie clips on tape and their DVD copies. It seems that the original tapes are better quality than the DVDs. Since I no longer have the old Camcorder that produced these tapes but I have a VCR, I looked around at what is that I could use to copy the clips from the tape directly to my hard drive. I found the following info on a website:
"To transfer VHS tapes directly to your computer, I would recommend using a video capture adapter that will be the connection between your computer and the VCR. Video capture adapters on Amazon will typically cost between $7 and $10. The great thing about a video capture adapter is that you will be able to connect to a VCR (or a camcorder) and transfer your videos directly to your computer.”.
There are lots of video capture adapters. A sample video capture adapter at Walmart:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Elgato-Video-Capture/13920315#ProductDetail
"Use this Elgato Video Capture to transfer video to your Mac from a DVR, VCR camcorder or any other analog video device. You can use this adapter to create digital copies of your outdated VHS tapes, further preserving precious memories. The adapter will format the video as an iTunes-ready H.264 or MPEG-4 file. There is no easier or more convenient way to transfer home video to your computer. Elgato Video Capture captures your analog video in the universal H.264 format and sends it to your iTunes or Windows Media Player library. No lengthy re-encoding is required, so your video is immediately ready to playback on your computer; to sync with your iPad or iPhone; to upload to YouTube; and to edit in iMovie or Windows Live Movie Maker."
In the prior postings I was advised to convert the movies to MP4. The above device delivers MPEG-4 formats. I looked up the difference between MP4 and MPEG-4 and found the following:
Key difference: MPEG-4 is a method of defining compression of audio and visual digital data. MPEG-4 can be used for compression of AV data for web, as used for streaming media, for CD distribution, as well as for voice broadcast television applications. The MP4 is a container format. This means that it can be used to store audio and/or video data.
This is very confusing. If I'd use the above described video capture adapter, would I achieve the same result as I would achieve with a converter (Handbreaker) and would I be able to import the files into iMovie?
I'd appreciate some clarification. Thanks.

How do I install CS6:Design Standard onto my iMac? I already had it on my MacBook Pro and should get 2 downloads with the student version?

I bought the student version of CS6 Design standard 3 years ago and installed it on my MacBook Pro. I now just purchased an iMac and would like to download it onto this as well. I should be able to download it onto two computers from what I understand, but when I insert the disk for download, there is no install.app on the disk any longer. I only see set-up.exe (which is for windows). How can I get the programs downloaded onto my iMac?

What do i do with regular CS6 version currently on computer?

I bought CS6 upgrade and have them currently on compter. I just signed up for the cloud membership. My question is do i need to uninstall cs6 and deactivate it and then download apps from the cloud? I guess I am just trying to figure out what to do with the non cloud versions of the software I currently have on my computer. I can't really find an answer for that anywhaere.

Hi ZachB,
As a Creative Cloud member you do get access to some updates sooner than with the regular version, so this might be a reason to get the installations recognized as part of your membership. If you go to Help > Deactivate in any current CS6 installations, then restart the computer and relaunch the CS6 products it should give you an option to sign in with your Adobe ID again, and recognize your Creative Cloud membership. This would prevent you from having to reinstall. Save your CS6 serial numbers for the upgrade you purchased though in case you ever wanted to use them again.

HT201436 voice mail management is really bad with the newer version of software for my iPhone5 my old version deleted VMs instantly but now my phone freezes up and at times the delete button does not work until i set the phone aside for up to a minute.

I am having a hard time deleting unwanted voice messages with my new phone and software as compare to my iphone4 which was as easy as clicking on the delete button. VMs would delete instantly. with my iPhone 5 7.0.4 software ver the first one or two delete immediately then the phone freezes up for several seconds making the process frustrating. I am wondering if either I am doing something wrong or if there is a fix out there. its a giant step backwards for Apple.

I have some questions about student versions of software.

I am creating a website for my business, and I need Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver 8 right now. But I know that CS3 should be out soon, and it will be Universal. If I get the student versions now, can I upgrade them or will I be forced to buy the versions again? What is my best option? Thanks.

For that you would need to ask the vendors.

PSE 9 only works with old AIR version on Win 7 x64. Adobe please help.

I'm hoping that Adobe can jump in and help here as there are some real versioning issues with the components that PSE 9 uses. I've made a number of posts in the Adobe AIR forum (while I was figuring this out) and have exchanged with Adobe resources regarding my problems with Adobe AIR on Win 7 x64. They are still looking into it.
PSE 9.0 comes with
   Adobe AIR 1.5.3.9130,
     Adobe Community Help 3.2.1.650 (an AIR app), and
     Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser 3.07 (an AIR app)
That Adobe AIR 1.5.3.9130 is an old version of AIR. Since then there have been production releases 2.0.2, 2.0.3, and the latest 2.0.4. If you upgrade to ANY of those Adobe AIR 2.x versions on your Win 7 x64 system, ALL your Adobe AIR apps will stop working.
Adobe Community Help 3.2.1.650 is an out-of-date version and it continually nags you to update to the newer version. If you do that, the install will first upgrade Adobe AIR to 2.0.4 and then upgrade Help. Help will no longer work and all Adobe AIR apps will not work.
I have installed and uninstalled PSE 9 about 25 times, I have installed and ununinstalled different versions of AIR over 50 times, etc. etc. to come to these conclusions. I have tested Adobe AIR 2.0.2, 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 and NONE of them work on Win 7 x64.
I'd really like someone from the Adobe PSE team to look into this. I don't have time to spend hours on the phone with support. I have described the problem and can offer more details as necessary.
Thanks . . . . Brian

Ankush,
Thank for your two responses. I have also received some more emails from Chris Campbell around AIR in particular so I'll try to work with him first.
Thanks you for confirming that you do not see any errors after installing the updates. Also that Adobe Help and Inspiration Browser both work after updating AIR to 2.0.4.
I will answer your questions for now though:
1. You asked:
Have you tried this:
Uninstall PSE 9, PRE 9 and any other CS5 Adobe application.
Uninstall Adobe AIR.
Install PSE 9 and run the updates of Adobe AIR and now use the applications?
If it still gives error, uninstall Adobe AIR and then install the 2.0.4 version directly which is available on Adobe.com.
What happends now?
     Yes, I have done all of these combinations a few times without success.
2. The directories for Adobe Help and PIB look fine. They are
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Help
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\PhotoshopdotcomInspirationBrowser
As I said, Chris Campbell has asked me for info and to run some tests. I'll let you know how it works out.
Thanks . . . . Brian

What`s going on with XML Parser version 2.0.2.7?

Hi,
In january, I was told on this forum by Steven Muench to wait version 2.0.2.7 of Oracle XML Parser to correct a textarea bug with <xsl:output method="HTML"... I would like to know what's going on and when should I expect this new version be available to download.
Thanks!

It's in testing right now. Will likely still be a couple more weeks before it's out on OTN.

Help with installing student version of DW CC 2014 (Was: Help)

I just buy the “ Student and Teacher package” for my Dreaweaver CC 2014 because I want to have a full version. But I can not find any serial number. After reading a note from Adobe (see attached picture, please) I uninstalled my trial version and try to download the new one. However, I can not download Dreamweaver CC again. I aways get the same message “the software is downloading” (see attached picture, please). Now I don’t know what to do and who I should ask, how to complain.
Please, help me.
Thanks,
Thang

Hi Thang,
I can't see your screenshots. But I think you are using your trial ID only that's why it is asking for license. On the Sign in required screen, you must be seeing an adobe ID but that will be your trial ID.
Click on 'Not Your adobe ID'. Next you will see Sign in screen , here you need to enter the subscription ID credentials.
