From the Adobe Education Store info:

• Faculty and staff — teachers and staff employed by an accredited primary or secondary school or public or private university or college¹

Accredited schools are those that are approved by an association recognized by the U.S. Department of Education/State Board of Education or the Canadian/Provincial Ministries of Education and that teach students as their primary focus. In the U.S., such associations include: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Northwest Association of Accredited Schools.^

I hope this helps.

Thanks

So far, all I found is that going through my link
Adobe Store
then using the ‘United States (change)’ link at the top of that page will get you to the ‘Select a region and language’.
The Portugal/Portuguese main site is accessible from that screen.

From there I run into language difficulties, alas.

I couldn’t find an Portugal ‘educação’ area.
I too ended up at the Brazil site:
adobe.com/br/education/solutions/students/

Your pan-european contact might be your best bet.

I will let you know if I get any answers.

Good luck,
Ciao.

I’m in Portugal. Adobe doesn’t care enough for our country (or maybe doesn’t have the economic incentive to do so) to bother to have an actual portuguese site; upon choosing portuguese as the site language it redirects me automatically to the brazilian site in certain sections.

Also, there is a dedicated store for Portugal, in english, but as far as Education versions are concerned, I can only access them through a pan-european store. Fortunately enough, there is a contact page specifically for my country at http://www.adobe.com/pt/aboutadobe/contact.html , I may give ‘em a call to try and find out more.

Thanks for your attention, anyway. If you manage to find something about Adobe’s policies on the matter, it’d still be interesting to share; I’ll do it myself, too.

Hello.
I believe you just need to buy the upgrade for the Design Suite Premium.
There are no ‘educational’ upgrades, you get to upgrade with the regular upgrade in your language/country.

If you can’t find the correct upgrade, let me know what country and language you need, and I’ll try to find a link for you.

Ciao,
Ken

What country are you in?
I will pass you question along.

I can only be sure of the North American policy, and I can’t read some other country’s Adobe sites well enough to find what you might need.

Cheers

Regardless of Adobe not allowing teachers and staff on Europe to use their software for commercial purposes, I’d gladly use it for that anyway as, ethics-wise, this is some severe discrimination and a huge rip-off. I’d consult my lawyer before actually doing any of that, though.

Anyway, unlike what you’re saying here I can’t, for the life of me, find any clause on Adobe’s european education store that says that the “Student & Teacher” edition can’t be used at all for commercial use. Can you investigate on the matter and comment on it? Your advice would be much appreciated. Thank you all for your attention!

As far as I can tell, the Adobe site seems to say that individual purchase is limited to higher ed. but K-12 seem to be eligible for site licensing.

Let’s hope that when they roll out CS5 on April 12, they’ll clarify this policy.

Do you have a different reading of this?
