This document contains general sales information for Education versions of Adobe products.

Upgrade an Education version

You may purchase upgrades for Educational versions of Adobe products, but there are no educational discounts for upgrades*. Educational products may, however, qualify for post-announce upgrade pricing (for details, see "'Adobe post-announce upgrade policy for single-user products" ServiceNote tn_15304).

*Note: The exception is PageMaker 7.0, which does offer an educational upgrade.

When you upgrade an Education product, you get a new End User License Agreement (EULA) that overrides the original license agreement and no longer restricts you to educational use.

You may purchase regular upgrades to Education products you already own even after you no longer qualify as an Education customer (for example, students who graduate or instructors who leave the teaching profession).

Education vs. retail versions

Many Adobe products have versions created especially for the Education market. The Education versions of Adobe products are fully functional and identical to the retail versions, although there might be differences in packaging or marketing.

For example, sometimes retail products include promotional software (such as free fonts or clip art) not included with the Education version. Additionally, because Education products are already discounted, they may not qualify for other pricing discounts offered to non-Education customers.

Where to buy Education versions

In North America, Single-user Education products are available direct from the Adobe Education Store.

If you prefer to order by phone, then see the Adobe website at http://partners.adobe.com/resellerfinder/na/education.jsp to find contact information for Educational Resellers in your region.

License Program for Education

Adobe offers Education customers volume discounts on licensing purchases for most Adobe products through the Education Transaction License Program (TLP) and the Contractual License Program (CLP).
