** Important Notice
Regarding Student Edition Products **
ONLY STUDENTS are eligible to purchase the Student Edition products and
these products do not contain a serial number.
Students who purchase must go through a validation process directly with the
manufacturer. A form contained inside the box must be faxed to Adobe Customer
Services with your student ID or a letter from your institution proving you're a
current student in order to receive the serial numbers to install the software.
TEACHERS, LECTURERS & INSTITUTIONS DO NOT QUALIFY. If you are not a
student and purchase the Student Edition of the software, you will not be able
to pass the validation process and will be unable to return the product or
receive a refund once the outer packaging of the product is opened.
Unfortunately, no exceptions can be made to this policy.
