Exactly.
Adobe have always hugely discounted their products where one can prove that the purchaser is in full-time education.
It's the full version it's a student licence you buy, rather than a separate product) but yes, you do need to be a full time student. See the Adobe website for details of who counts as a student. You need to submit proof of being enrolled in a qualifying place of study/on a qualifying course. If you can't do that, then you won't be issued with the product key code.
Quote: you do need to be a full time student.
Not wishing to be pedantic but you can be a part time student to qualify for a student licence. Thus it would appear that as long as the college grants degrees you could meet the criteria by doing (or even just enrolling for) night classes as it doesn't say you need to be on a degree course (just 'enrolled at a higher education establishment'.)
From the Adobe website
Quote: Only full or part-time students enrolled at a higher education establishment, defined as an accredited public or private university or college that grants degrees requiring not less than the equivalent of two (2) years of full-time study, or students enrolled at an accredited public or private secondary school providing full-time instruction are eligible.

Fully functional, can only be used on 2 pc's at a time and isn't supposed to be used for commercial work but can be upgraded at the standard upgrade price to the full non-educational version when CS5 or whatever comes out. Some part-time courses such as the Open College of the Arts count and of course it applies to secondary school children as well (if you have any eligible children or even grandchildren who might make use of of PS )

Once you cease being a student, you may continue using the product but would have to pay the full price for any future upgrades that you purchase.

I bought the student version of CS3 when it came out as I was on a part time diploma course for my critical care nursing thingy, and they let me have it. It came boxed with the serial number, it wasn't a download. I bought Lightroom the same way. All they asked for was a letter from my college confirming that I was a student and as soon as I emailed it to them, they shipped the box to me.

Try link we use them at work and they are very good. You may need a letter from the school to prove you have someone eligible. We just fax them out ID badge if we are buy for personal use and not college use.

It looks as though the Student version can't be upgraded, but the Education version can
Still trying to decide whether it's worth the extra £60 or so for the Education version

Not sure about this. I bought the Student Edition of CS3 Extended and it can be upgraded to the CS4, 5 or 6 standard edition by paying the normal upgrade fee which is normally about the same price as the cost of the Student Edition. I'm not sure if they've changed this for CS4 and it might be worth checking directly with Adobe.

See my earlier post. My son contacted Adobe before buying CS4 earlier this year as a student. He did telephone Adobe before hand and was assured that he could upgrade at any time by just paying the upgrade fee; he is no longer a student. My daughter also has a educational copy of PS7 (5 years ago) which has been upgraded twice since. You can create an account on Adobe and log-in a check all your registered products. I have 9 and it also shows the S/N of each product registered which might be useful if you lost it.
