Nope. A friend of mine enrolled at the local community college. Took one class that cost $90. Used student ID and got CS5 for $125. Then dropped the class the he didn't want to take in the first place. Total cost $215. not a totally bad price.

Though my way was easier. I just found a student and asked them to get it for me. I paid $125 and a 6 pack of longboard beer.

When you say a student does that mean any one doing a degree of sum sort do they get a discount

No, anyone involved in education (including school pupils), not just further and higher education. At least that's the case in the US, not sure if Adobe has a different set of policies. Just check the website.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no (every company is different). I would suggest going to the Adobe website and reading the terms and conditions on purchasing with a student discount. They may specify what types of classes you're supposed to be taking (and some companies want proof, like a validation letter from the school and/or having a .edu email address).

Um, I think that contravenes the licence agreement.. I think you have to STAY a student for 2 years, or at least be enrolled in a course that lasts 2 years..The licences are non-ransferrable, anyone using the software that's not entitled to it is actually a pirate!!

student software, academic software | Adobe

Are you sure that's what you did or did you just say that and not mean it?

Actually, I think that the 2 year requirement only applies to the university (as in, it must be an educational facility that at least offers 2 year degrees, regardless if you're enrolled in a degree programme). I do know people who take non-degree community college courses and who have used that without a problem to get the educational version of the software.

Mainly because this: academic discount software eligibility | Adobe is what is required for Adobe to verify you are a student (and there's no requirement that you provide them with information about what type of class / programme you're enrolled in).
