Where can I buy Dreamweaver 8?

Question

I am a student living outside USA, so Dreamweaver CS4 is too expensive for me.
Please suggest me where I can get Dreamweaver 8 or Dreamweaver CS old version which is cheaper.
Thank you,

Answer 1

David's advice is very good. And I would offer an addendum.
Right around the time that Adobe launched CS4, I was looking to upgrade -- to CS3!
I had an Apple G4 computer that was not rated to run Adobe's CS4 applications, so I started looking for CS3 with the knowledge that there were very reputable dealers out there with CS3 still in their delivery channels. I chose a reputable firm, received assurances that the software was unused, shrinkwrapped and carried an Adobe license, and I placed my order. I received a pretty good discount for the software that I could run.
So, in your case you have two options: Wait until you can afford Dreamweaver CS4, which means not spending your money until you have enough for the purchase. Or wait until just as Adobe launches CS5 and place no order for CS4 applications after three months beyond the launch.
I don't know for certain, but I believe that Adobe does offer licensed resellers a deal to ship back all old product, because old Adobe applications appear to clear the channel within three months (this is a variable, as I am certain that in Eastern Europe, South Asia, South America and Africa, resellers retain more stock for longer than do the American and Western European resellers). Some resellers take advantage of these deals, others don't.
My discounts for the CS3 product were not heavy.
Resellers were taking just about a quarter to a third off Adobe's asking price. So you're not going to get "The Student Discount."
If you are just looking to edit websites and Dreamweaver is out of your budget and shall always remain so, I would look into a freeware editor, like Nvu or Kompozer. Both are "WYSIWYG" HTML editors that are open source and available for a donation or (if you are really pressed) for free. Both also have a following of individuals, like David, who are very knowledgeable and will help you with what you are trying to do. Nvu is further along than Kompozer, which is a better Mac-centric application than is Nvu (which runs on just about everything).
Also, if you are on a Mac, there is Freeway and Freeway Express, which are a lot less money than Dreamweaver CS4.
