Looking to move to either CS4 or CS5 from elements. Not looking for a student version. Any ideas as to the best place to purchase as cheap as possible?
Don’t you understand that the "student version" is the same program as the full version? The only difference is the price and the container.
One small correction: the EULA for a student version states that you may not, under any circumstances, sell/transfer your copy to another person. That is the only difference.
Can you upgrade a student version, say from cs4 to cs5?
Your question is not completed!
– In the earlier day the answer is NO. Or you can’t
a. Can’t use the student version for commercial use (professional)
b. You have to upgrade to the FULL version when graduated from college
– Now, if I understand correctly then YES
a. You can use as professional (making money)
b. You can upgrade to newer version, or continue using after graduated
Before, sometime you can even be able to upgrade from the DEMO version came with many hardwares for between $100-150, and $150 to upgrade to current version from any older version. Now, Adobe limited to the last 1 or 2 latest version (can’t remember) and the upgrading price is somewhere around $250 (I think I only paid around $218 for CS3 to CS4).
You may have to double check on the newer policies as they have too many newer policies, versions, marketing styles (forcing Photoshop users to upgrade to current before too late) for my old brain to keep up.
