Hi all:
I am currently taking some classes, and am eligible for a software discount, but only on academic software. Is there any difference? Are there any legal limitations?
Thanks~!

you are technically not supposed to use them for commercial work. the only thing with this is, the only way you could get in trouble is if adobe came and did an audit on your business to see how many seats you've paid for. beyond that, i suppose it comes down to BUSINESS ETHICS, Billy's choice.

a lot of academic versions don't let you upgrade

I like how you mispelled "Academic" in the thread title.
And Mike's Madison reference, haha.

(Sep 25 06, 13:49)some, not all. and i've seen some titles where the upgrade from academic is more than the upgrade from full version.
the idea being, you are in school for a short period of time, so you don't retain this special pricing when you're no longer a student
