I am interested in purchasing Photoshop CS4 student edition. I live in the States and my operating system is a Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger. It’s also an intel. Anyway, I know a graphic designer who told me you can’t use the program for commercial use and also you can only install the disc one time. What constitutes commercial use? If I buy a new computer, will I be able to install PSCS4 again or transfer the files?

Thank you!

You can use the program for whatever you want.

You can deactivate the other copy, then install from the original media on the new box. DO NOT transfer the program files, ever; always install from the original media.

The license is for one user, two computers that are not used simultaneously, e.g. a laptop and a desktop box.

You can read the EULA on the Adobe web site. Do a search.

Ramón,

I thought that was for an Academic version, not a Student version. AFAIK, Student versions cannot be used for commercial work.

Sarah,

Commercial use is if you use if for business, such as for doing billable work.

Neil,

I’m not aware of the difference between Academic and Student versions of Photoshop, if it exists at all.

This is what I found at the Adobe store:

I couldn’t find any reference to commercial use.

I also tried to find licensing for these two products. What I can tell you is that Bob tends to do a good job at researching stuff.

Looks like this thing with the Student edition is a new modality offered by Adobe. At least the Adobe store makes a big to do about its being "NEW!".

Thanks for your help guys. I think the student edition would be the best for me to purchase at this point in time.
