looks like you're right, that makes the Student Edition more valuable <http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentedition/faq.html> digging around in my email archives to correct my received wisdom, it looks like starting with CS2, the academic version has full upgrade rights; previous to that there was a a special upgrade available, but it was at a higher price ============== Most software companies don't make separate versions of software for students. All they do is stamp "academic" on the box, and sometimes on the disc. I know for a fact Adobe does this. And if I recall correctly, it is true of most MS products as well. The only one I ever had problems with was Peachtree Accounting, which did make a separate academic version. But, think about it, really, who's going to want to go to all the trouble of making different versions? A lot, A LOT, of academic software is sold. But one should always check out each company's site, before buying any academic software, just to double check and make sure than one can upgrade from academic to standard.
