Ofcourse it would work on an european computer.
One would think so, but I certainly can't guarantee that it would.
All computers are
the same the world around. I'm just wondering if the US adobe store
would ship to europe? or if the same deal is available in europe?
OK, now I got the impression that they would if you used a valid credit card. You can order online; to order by phone would doubtless be costly for you, but I posted their toll free number in one of my other posts. It probably doesn't work for Europe. But just because some rep whose name I failed to write down says you can but they can't "guarantee" that it would work, when push comes to shove, they might not, and I will be embarassed for butting into your business. I am only trying to help because I put myself in your position, seeing US citizens getting all the deals, and were the shoe on the other foot, I would not like it! I used my cc; sometimes online stores balk when the shiipping and billing address are different. I presume yours would be the same. I don't know if Adobe has that requirement or not; this is my first purchase from them.
I used my VISA card in the online store to purchase CS2, and got a confirmation via email within minutes, same billing and mailing address, got it in just a few days.
Adobe really hates Finland. They don't offer the academic version
of CS2 at all in scandinavia, but they do in the rest of Europe.
Maybe we ought to do something about that if it is true. It's partly about marketing and money. Maybe somebody in Europe can somehow pick up a copy for you. As long as they don't install and register it, you should be OK. They now seem to have builtin safeguards where you can't cheat. Maybe you have an American friend who would purchase it for you. I can't stick my neck out that far. There must be plenty of unused recent copies of Elements floating around. I have two and didn't bother to install either one.
Grrr. As a poor student I can't really afford 700€ for software and
1300€ for a 30D at the same time.
If you go to their site, they do have a tech support email. Maybe you could pick up from here and email them and work out the details. Maybe they will give you an email for sales or even a phone number.
My heart kind of went out to you because I was dealing with the same thing. Both my granddaughter and I wanted it and $649 is pretty pricey, for two copies of it. Now I am going to try to buy her a copy. We could get around it if she switched ownership of her laptop to me, but I'm not going to try to beat the system. You can't be using it on two computers at the same time. They seemingly have thought of everything, and I want to do things the honest way. I have been using an older version that my granddaughter got from a friend or teacher at school, don't know if it was legal or not, she was a student at the time, she installed it on my computer, and I have always felt a little guilty about it. But not so guilty that I didn't get a head start learning it.
Now I have a legal copy.
