I started my web design class last night and we were given a link to journeyed.com to order software if we wanted it. I bought Adobe CS3 Design Premium for $309!!! Its normally $1799!

 

Hell yeah, benefit of my girl attending PennState right now. Although I haven't taken advantage of this yet I will before she graduates

 

Hell i got a sweet deal on MS Office Enterprise for only $29

 

Which class are you taking now and which software suite are you using? I just started EBUS218, Multimedia for the Web and we're using Dreamweaver and Fireworks. So far it seems to be an interesting class and we start our first site during lab time tonight.

 

score.

 

That's awesome dude, what class are you taking and where? I am considering taking a flash or illustrator class one of these days...

haven't done it yet, but i think i will very soon.

 

I'm going to the Art Institute in Schaumburg.
Its the continuing education certificate program.
They teach Dreamweaver and flash mostly....

 

Yeah I bought Adobe CS3 Design Premium this Year and Adobe CS2 Suite Last Year both for $199. It sucks cause our school has a contract with adobe and upgrades every year so I have to also and since Adobe was cruel and made CS3 not backwards compatible to CS2 I had to upgrade so I could work on stuff at class and at home.

 

Bittorrent is cheaper...

 

That's at least a 100% discount

 

yup, the student discounts have alwways been dirt cheap. some hardware manufactures also give discounts to students.

I once bought a wacom tablet at academic pricing. saved me over $150 bucks if I recall.

 

another benefit of being a student.

i remember getting xp and office for $5 each.

 

damn thats nuts. but yea we get good deals on ipod or other apple stuff, dell... ect.

 

Jail sucks

 

So does paying for software...

 

fuck yea it is

 

Be aware: Educational licenses can not be upgraded.

 

Who's products are you talking about? The only company I'm aware of that allows no upgrades whatsoever for their edu editions is Apple. Microsoft and Adobe's products can be upgraded but only by edu-edition upgrades. On the Adobe side, that may just be a paper threat as I've seen several reports of people saying they had no problems upgrading edu versions of Photoshop with a retail upgrades.

 

whenever i need an updated copy of windows (or anything MS), i log onto our MSDNAA server and pull it down

 

I purchased a few Educational Adobe Products while in college and I was unable to upgrade those to new versions.

 

Yup, I picked up both for $5 each as well!

I'm no longer a Student, but when I signed up for iTunes, I was a student.
So Apple gave me a student discount when I bought my MacBook Pro
this past Aug

 

May have to sign up for a class.......

Porn Surfing 403..... It's covers advanced topics like managing multiple tabs, organizing downloaded movies, clearing your tracks...

 

Fixed.

 

How does Microsoft verify that you're a student? I saw MS Office Professional 2007 for around $150 at Office Depot but it was for students.

 

look at the link i posted, it's Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for $60, it's an offer through Microsoft for students. they first verify it by a your school email and then may require you to send in your student ID.

 

I got my MS Office Professional 2007 for $19.95 through EPP (Employee Purchase Program).

 

Hook a brother up

 

Oh, OK, thanks. I missed the link.

+ 1

 

MY girl goes to plu i should taking advantage of the "student discount" on software and resell it double...

 

Won't happen bro unless you get another government employee to help you out. I tried to get a free copy for my father but since i only had one email address Microsoft decided not to let me buy another copy.

 

Congrats on the retirement...I'll be joining the retired ranks in Nov 21 years of AF BS and all i get for a retirement present is a $2k per month check you gotta love that deal

 

What type of govt. employee? I work for a municipality.

 

anyone know a website that offers student discounts on Microsoft XP
My cd key has been used too many times

 

CHeck with your school and see if the have MSDNAA and get signed up for an account. You can get almost everything MS makes for free there. Everything excpet Home versions of Vista and the 4 main programs of Office (word, excel, powerpoint and outlook)and their more consumer oriented software. Last night I downloaded One note 2007, sharepoint designer, Expression studio, Map Point all for free! Not to mention Vista Business, they've got every version of Server 2003, Visual Studio 2008, Access, sharepoint server ,exchange, sql, fricken everything is on there.

 

That's a pretty good price. I just paid $600 for Design Suite Premium this past week with my student discount through adobe.com.

A couple years ago at the Art Institute, they sold a package that included Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Final Cut HD and LiveType for $200. If you were in Animation, you could get all of those plus Maya and 3D Studio Max for an extra $200.

I always buy my programs since I do a lot of subcontracting work. No sense in going to jail over a few programs. Plus it's nice to have have disks handy whenever you upgrade your OS.

Just recently upgraded from Panther to Leopard.

 

Hmm.. I have two school email addresses.. Ah.. the beauty of transferring to a University..

Anyone? Anyone? LOL.

 

whats the difference between a regular and student copy?

 

the price that's it. The thought is that they'll provide the software for cheap cause
A. students are broke and can't afford to pay full price and they need the software for the class their taking.
B. if you learn how to use their software you'r more likely to stick with what you already know then switch to a new software and then they'll make their money when you upgrade.

It's just like gillette sending you the free razor in the mail on your 18th birthday!

 

It's too bad they shut down DC++ before you got here. You really missed out on that one.

And I just got Office 2008 for Mac today, along with Aperture

Thank you, what.cd
and i've got invites for anyone who wants one
