Adobe knows your copy of Creative Suite 4 is “borrowed” from a friend. A friend you randomly met on the Internet, whose name you don’t know and probably never will. Fortunately, they’re doing something about it, so long as you’re a student.
If you’re a student and you head to the Update Adobe website, you can grab up to 40% off the price of Adobe creative software. According to Adobe, the saving will help you: “Create, cash-up & beat the pirates with Adobe”. I’m not entirely sure what the incentive is for students to “beat the pirates” though – maybe Adobe is secretly training an army of design ninjas? In any case, it’s a pretty good saving for those of you still paying for education.

Any ideas?

Sunday, October 11, 2009 at 1:43 PMThe main issue is that the Student edition of CS can’t be used for any commercial work (which is the only way anyone can pay for the purchase of professional digital art software).
So it’s all good and well to make the student edition cheap; you can’t do anything but “learn” with it
