If you know anyone who is a student, youll find the student discounts from Adobe to be worthwhile. make sure you get the full version as well and not the upgrade... unless of course your upgrading. but there is a big price jump retail wise between the two.

*cough* well you can get it real cheap if you know where to look. *cough*














and by that I mean befriend a student and have them buy you the <$200 student version

IIRC its about $300 with the student discount.

yup!

I'm a student, if I can help, just let me know.

Adobe is pretty damn strict with their licensing (I have first-hand experience dealing with them from working at the local college), and although I haven't gotten around to literally calling them and asking about using student versions of their software for commercial work, I'd be willing to be it's a no-go. The only info I've found is that a student version can be upgraded to a commercial version.

That's worth covering. If you're making money with the software you really should be very careful to make sure you have legal, properly liscenced copies.

I got the whole CS3 suite for $200... but the way our school gets that deal makes it hard to get it for anyone else.
