I want to get Adobe CS5 for Windows and would buy a used copy or as a friend suggested a educator or student copy.
If anyone has one to sell please contact me by PM or Email.

Frankly I'm not sure if I will even like the program so I'm trying to save a few bucks rather than buying a new copy. :thumb


Thanks and if this is posted in the wrong forum I apologize but I could not find another it seemed to fit into.

    Hm!

    I bought the CS4 Web Standard Suite (without PS) and got a free upgrade
    to the CS5 Web Premium Suite (with PS) en lieu of the introduction of CS5.
    I got the Education version for 300 bucks which is fully commercialy usable
    and upgradable ... that saved me almost 1k. Maybe you can still find such a
    deal somewhere?

    If you have some kids or know somebody in education, you can "ask" them to get it for you.

    Or you could just go to your nearest retail outlet and steal it off the shelf for that matter.

    If you are not eligible for the discount, I suspect Adobe would say yes, it is.

    Some reading, that is if you want to educate yourselves.

    It isn't like you get full access with the Student/Teacher edition. if you guys have read the EULA, you would know you cannot use it for commercial use, simply personal. So, no, it isn't like highway robbery. Guess some of you guys feel it is.

    Where did you find that? AFAIK that has not been true for a very long time.

    I have not seen an EULA, but this is currently on the website:
    Q: Are there any restrictions on student, faculty, and staff purchases of software through the Adobe Student and Teacher Licensing Program?
    A: Yes. Students, faculty and staff may purchase only one copy of a particular product within a 12-month period. They may purchase software for their personal use only and may not resell or distribute the software.

    jtalerico is incorrect. Adobe clearly makes the following statement at the site cited below, which is directly connected to the student/teacher purchase pricing. It is full access and may be used for both personal and commercial. Period.

    http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html

    Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?
    Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use.

    Do Adobe Student and Teacher Editions have restricted functionality?
    Student and Teacher Editions have all the features and functionality of the commercial versions. The software may be used only on a privately owned computer, and the user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student and Teacher Edition license

    FWIW, I am both an educator and a parent of Master's level students who own the CS5 Premium Design

    good to know, must of changed since CS3 when I remember reading and keeping a copy of this:
    What are the restrictions in using education versions of Adobe products?

    A customer may only purchase one copy of any product. Education versions of Former Macromedia products only (Studio 8, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc.) are intended for instructional and administrative purposes only and may not be used for any commercial purpose.

    Correct, that was very true for the Macromedia product line Adobe aquired, but not the Adobe products of the day. My students (and daughters) have been getting PhotoShop with the same right to use commercially for the past several years ... am not sure if it predated CS or not, though, but I think it did.

    I bought it while I was in college and bought CS5 while my wife attends grad school.
