Adobe Software: Can I sell?

clive_odonohoe

Hi,

MODS: If this is in the wrong place, please move to where appropriate.

I have student editions of Adobe Lightroom 2 and Adobe Creative Suite 4: Design Premium. I want to buy the newer versions 3 and 5 respectively. I am wondering am I able to sell these on to pay for the new versions or do I have to keep them.

Thanks

Clive

No you keep em and buy the upgrades.

Thats what I thought, but it doesn't mention anywhere on either page that these are upgrades. It looks like they are standalone versions.

Lightroom 3 :

CS5 Design Premium:

They do appear as an upgrade when you try to purchase them anywhere else other than the education store.

There's no upgrades for student versions. I don't think you can sell them

Thanks for that Kbeg3, but if i buy new versions of these two product, what can I do with the old versions, I find it hard to believe that they wont work on another machine.

If you get new serials with the new versions then sell the old ones. There's no reason why they wont work on another machine.

You could deactivate them on your PC and sell on, but you're not supposed to.

From the Adobe Student Edition FAQ:

May a Student Edition be resold?

No, the Student Edition may neither be sold by the licence nor given to others for free.

Those are, apparently, the terms of the license agreement with Adobe.

I have Student Editions of CS3 and CS4, but my CS3 is for Windows and CS4 is for Mac so I still use both of them

I use mac, just wanted to see if i could fund the upgrades by selling on the older versions.
