Eligibility: The Adobe Student Editions are only for students meeting the eligibility criteria set out below, not teachers or lecturers. Teachers and lecturers can continue to buy Adobe Education box products. (This does not include Studio 8 Student & Teacher Edition, which is also available for teachers and lecturers.)
Proof of Eligibility Required:
Students will be required to provide proof of their current student status to install the products. Students must be enrolled in a degree-granting program at an acceptable Education Institution (being a bona fide university or college -- including community, junior and vocational colleges or other further education colleges -- that grants degrees requiring not less than the equivalent of two (2) years of full time study) OR Students must be enrolled at an accredited public or private primary or secondary school providing full-time instruction.
This license may only be used on a privately-owned computer. Full details of the process for submitting proof of status can be found in the box.
What is in the box?:
The box only contains the product CD and a form, which the student needs to complete and send to Adobe to receive the serial number. The box does not contain a serial number or manuals for the program.
How long will it take to get the CD & serial number once the form has been sent to Adobe?
Adobe anticipates that once a student sends their completed form to Adobe, it will take 3 working days to issue the serial number, provided the form is completed correctly and the appropriate proof of eligibility has been provided.
What information does the student need to complete the form? What is considered proof of student status?
Students must provide a valid, current student ID that includes name, date, and a photo. If you do not have a current student ID with name, date, and photo, you must instead provide a valid photo ID and corroborating evidence of current enrolment:
1> Official, current non-photo student ID with name and date
