After you graduate, you are also allowed to use as the basis for a software upgrade. So if you have CS2 as a student, you could use that to upgrade to CS3 after you graduate. It's a great license agreement, if you ask me.

now THAT is the answer I was looking for.

THANK YOU!

Where does it say that?

You can use it for commercial purposes if you pay the "professional" upgrade which you can do instead of paying full retail. "Your own commercial purposes" is kinda foggy. It is alot more specific than that and would take several pages to explain in detail.

Like I said before, you'll be fine if you are doing business under a certain dollar amout or you are doing work for yourself only. But you cannot start a business and use student software or work for a business using student software because it is no longer for your use. It's for the business!

I remember reading the license agreement when I installed the copy I bought from school. That's the gist of what it says.

Thats terrible, I got some bad telephone service as well actually. I called up to enquire about obtaining the license (as I already had the software but the license information that they gave me was incorrect) and I was snubbed off. Once I did fill it out they had to email me about 6 input codes until they finally gave me one that worked. Absolutely terrible service, I wouldn't have bought Photoshop if it wasn't so cheap. The program has so many flaws in the software design.
