I am pretty sure we have all complained about Adobe’s prices for software. They are pretty expensive. What you probably don’t know is that their educational discount policies are a little bit more flexible than you might have thought.
I always thought you had to be a current student at the college level to purchase at the 40-60% discounts that websites like Academic Superstore offer. A little investigation revealed that those prices are also extended to K-12 students and better yet, parents of K-12 students.
That means that since I am the proud parent of a 6th grader, I was able to order a brand spankin new copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended for $297. What’s the retail on that bad boy? $999 US. that’s a savings of over $700.
Of course that’s only valid for non-business use, but as my photography is purely a hobby, there are no sticky license issues and I have a completely legal and full copy of Adobe Photoshop Extended for Mac at significant savings.
If you are in the market and have a child at home, don’t miss this opportunity.
