- Wow, it's about time some of these products became more affordable. Great find OP.
  
  Now if only they came with less bloatware and 'adobe common files' that litter a fresh install...

  According to Adobe, Creative Suite 6 will be released in the first half of 2012. CS6 will be a major new release of Adobe's creative desktop programs, with expected upgrades across the board to more than a dozen applications. Adobe Creative Cloud would give members access to all of the CS6 desktop software, automatic updates, and a range of additional services and community features.

  Wow, you can even get it shipped to your US location. I bet that DVD version contains both MAC and PC version

  most institutions as well as individuals will not be updating to CS 6 right away, I believe Windows 8 is scheduled to be released this year as well

  I know.. I was hoping to jump on the band wagon as I use PS quite often but knowing that my copy will be outdated within few months kind of kills me. :/

  It is kind of late in BC to be spending time here hehe.
  
  Lets put it this way, I am exactly in the same situation as you are, I wouldn't buy something that will be outdated soon, but this is great price, and you can always upgrade, which is still cheaper, and it is a licensed copy. I remember when Adobe releases a product there are always problems at the beginning, so by the time they get all the updates, that will be another 6 months. And you can always skip one version and wait for CS7 or whatever else they are going to call it.

- $180 dollars too expensive?

  Yea, depending on what your needs are, this could last you a looong time. I'm still using CS 3.
- congeetime
- I think i might bite this but does anyone know if you can install it on multiple computers/users???
  
  and honestly, i dont see any major changes happening to the cs6. Ive had ps cs3-5 and the only major thing ive seen change is a new user interface and some added 3D modelling features which is useless if you dont need it.

  I would assume that with Student license you can, most students have two computers, one at home and 1 laptop that they take it to school. I don't see why not. If anything, use google and it will show you all the answers hint hint

  I wish that was the case but you can have a windows or a mac version delivered to your door similar to the direct download version.
  
  BTW, anybody got this deal? What proof of eligibility did you guys use?
- eeee

  You can activate on 2 computers, after that, it will tell you that you reached the maximum.
  You can always deactivate one copy, and activated somewhere else as needed, but in the end, you can only run 2 at the same time.

- They ought to let students install it as many times as they want because they are doing them a favor by even paying them $200 whereas the kid sitting next to them paid $0 and installed it on his 4 PCs. :P

  Have you clicked the education store at the right side?
- Talick
- Wait, why are people suggesting it's cross platform with Windows/Mac? As far as I can see, it restricts you to on or the other before checkout, and the physical versions popping up on Amazon specify what OS it is for. Anyone can explain?
- Insane_Pikachu
- I'm concerned about the platforms. I use both Mac as Pc. If I order this, will they provide a cd key that is compatible for both platforms? I'm assuming what ever you order, it's just for the install disc. Can someone confirm this?
- milhaus
- Fudge. I just bought Design Collection for $275 EDU pricing. Crapola. I guess I should just upgrade to Master anyway for these prices.

  These digital media giants have their heads to far up their **ses when it comes to DRM to let that happen. Why would anybody student neck deep in mounting expenses be willing to pony up $900+ when you can get the same, but more liberated product from pirates for free. Forget talking about inflated prices, When the pirates offer a BETTER PRODUCT, you should know you're doing something wrong. Like Gabe Newell says, it's a service problem that's holding back these industries and judging by looking at Steam's popularity, he's right.
