RE: [flexcoders] Best $$$ Price on Flex? (The Scoop)

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 12:40:42 -0700

Actually, it turns out David is correct, exactly as stated.
 
From the Education Purchasing FAQ at http://www.adobe.com/education/purchasing/faq.html:
 
"Good news! You can use Adobe Education software (any title!) to produce commercial/professional paid-for work when you leave school, or even while you are in school. In this regard, Adobe does not limit how student software is used. So students can use it to learn and to make money!

(Of course, students must agree to the terms of the End User Licensing Agreement — which appears during installation — just as every software customer must do.)"

Regarding my other question about limitations on the educational products, the same FAQ says:

"The Education and retail versions are virtually identical — we do not modify the software itself. To differentiate the product offering between education and retail, we may remove some clip art, some fonts, or other non-application resources. So really, the only difference is price. Student customers can be assured that this as an opportunity to get the “full version” without paying the “full price”."

Just to be thorough, the FAQ goes on to say that:

"You are able to continue to use your Education version serial number when you leave school to upgrade to future commercially priced versions if you want to, rather than having to buy the next “full” version. So you save money now while you are a student, and also after you graduate!"

In short, this is an extremely cool program Adobe has. I salute them for it! If the goal really is to get a million folks using Flex, then the pricing for the educational Flex version will go a long way toward bringing new Flex advocates into the fold. I'm pretty darn impressed.

Thanks to all of you for your comments, but especially to Greg Hamer, who initially broached the idea of academic licenses...

Kevin

I'm pretty sure he meant to say: "You CANNOT purchase an educational license and then use it commercially."

Hello,
 
I have not reviewed the EULA recently and so others could comment in more detail, but Shannon is correct below.
 
There are no functional limits on the product, however you must have a valid education ID to purchase and use it in that context.  You can purchase an educational license and then use it commercially.
 
Regards,
David

The traditional limitations are that you must be in education, and you must only use it for educational purposes. I.E. if you want to release an application that you got paid to build, you need to buy the full version.

Are there any limitations on academic licenses, like limited functionality or ugly splash screens? Just so happens I'm taking some courses this summer... thanks.

Academic licenses for Flex 2 w/Components are $79.  Of course you have to be a student, teacher, professor, etc.  One source here:
For standard licenses, it looks like CDW.com has discounted down to $593.99.  Link here:
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1012357

Anyone know of other resellers offering better or similar standard license discounts?
