I am posting this here knowing that there has been quite a few new D30's bought recently and also for anyone else interested.

If you have a son or daughter in college and they qualify, they can get the Adobe "Web Collection". This includes Photoshop 6.0, GoLive 5.0, LiveMotion, and Illustrator 9.0.

My daughter, who is in her last year of college ordered this package two days ago. It was delivered to my front door about 30 minutes ago. Package includes all cd's and all manuals.

There is a toll free number at the top right hand corner of this website. The lady's name is Michelle.

Total cost for this package, including 2 day delivery was $294.50

Hope all of you have a very merry Christmas.

Hey John,
What a coincident. I ordered PS 6 today through my school system.
Total price just under $300.

Now the Big Question.....did I get the Web Collection??? I specifically asked about PS 6, got a fast email reply, then ordered. I'll probably get what I ordered. Don't you hate that.

I just emailed the guy back mentioned the Web Collection, and asked him to see what he could do. Fingers crossed.

PS. I read a message eons ago that mentioned the difference in meaning when an answer followed a message vs. preceding the message. Could somebody refresh my memory as to the difference.

Academic licenses usually have restricted rights. Legally, you probably have no more right to use it than a pirated version. You should check the fine print on the end-user license agreement.

You have a right to use it if you are a student or educator. I'm a college instructor and I send my students to them for software all the time. I also purchase from them frequently. John wrote "if they qualify." Academic licenses are not only for schools. Adobe and Microsoft both license to students and teachers, which would certainly not make them pirates.

PS, if you qualify, Windows XP Pro Upgrade is $89, about $110 off the store price.

You're right, I'm sorry I misread - he did mention it was for his children or for other people who qualify , not for himself.

But it's still important to warn people who do not qualify against buying an academic license in the mistaken impression they are getting a bargain.

Maybe I should sign up for free classes at the local community college to qualify for all these great software prices :-)
 
Software licensing is similar to a seedy car dealer that raises the price of a car $5000 when he sees your gold cufflinks, yet retains the right to call the repo man if he sees you trying to resell that car for a profit.

On this particular issue, Adobe has made it clear that for Photoshop (and some of their other stuff, don't know what though) the only difference between the academic and regular versions is that the academic version must be purchased by a student. Once you have it legally, then you can use it anywhere you want for anything you want.

I specifically read over the entire license agreements for Photoshop and Illustrator, just to check this. The only stated restriction to the academic versions is that you can't transfer them to someone else.
 
Exactly, if you buy the student version you have a student version. The upgrade path is different, you should look into that as well. Last I checked you could upgrade the student version of 5.0 to 6.0, but the price was different.

You can not use the student version professionally or at least that is the way I read the agreement.

The student version of Photoshop upgrades exactly the same way the regular version does. I bought the Academic version (legitimately) of Photoshop 5.5 and upgraded it to 6.0 with the commercial upgrade, also legitimately. The upgrade path is exactly the same.

The student can use it for anything (assuming you're right). If you bought/borrowed/used a student version, and sold an image you created with it, you could get prosecuted. The chances of getting caught by Adobe are probably slim. The chances of getting caught by your concience is 100%.

Microsoft is currently selling a version of Office XP specifically targeted for students and teachers. Parents are forbidden to use the software, even if it's installed on a family computer (unless they are helping with homework.) It's a good price ($127 at Sams, Costco) but it can't be upgraded to future versions. I can't decide whether Microsoft is being generous to poor, deserving families, or just trying another way to get their hands in your pocket. Hmmm.

I don't know about other companies. But Adobe let's you upgrade an educational version with the standard upgrades that come out. You can continue to use it after you are done with your studies. The only difference is that the "educational version" splash screen will always appear in the upgrades.

There is information about upgrading an educational version on the Adobe web site at http://www.adobe.com/support/salesdocs/2a92.htm

The difference is that the you keep the student reg number, you don't get a full version number, now that doesn't make any difference right now, but in the future?

Quoting from Adobe:

"When you purchase upgrades for educational versions of most Adobe products, you receive a new End User License Agreement (EULA) that overrides the original license agreement and no longer restricts you to educational use."--Joe Hawblitzel
 
Just got back from the health science center.
Picked up a new (but unwrapped) Web Collection.
$249 plus tax. I'm speechless. They gave me a little
extra off because someone had unwrapped the box, but
everything inside is still shrink-wrapped and sealed.
I don't know a thing about the extra programs, but this
was a steal just for PS 6.

And the genuine Adobi product.

The license agreement specifically does not prohibit this. While it specifically states that an academic version may not be transferred, it never places any kind of restriction on what the academic version can be used for. An Adobe representative, in their user forums, clarified this point by stating that, once you own Photoshop Academic, you can use it anywhere you want, for any purpose you want.

Adobe has explicitly clarified this in their FAQ for their forums.

http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/[email protected] ^[email protected]

"1). There is NO limitation on use of the Educational Version, only on aquisition of it in that you must meet the educational requirements to qualify for purchase."

So if at all possible get the educational version.

Clarification. Adobe's only specifically stated it for Photoshop, but the license agreements for Photoshop and Illustrator have similar words to say on the subject: nothing.
 
I just read the academic license at Adobe.com today and only the student is permitted to use the academic version.

Late, but good to know.
