What outlet mihai?

You could have converted your Mac licenses to Winders licenses with a call to Adobe customer service. It involves signing some agreements and fully trashing all vestiges of old versions on your old machine. The fee would have been small. Ask Pank, I think he went through this procedure.

No I actually got screwed by Adobe... CS was in stores for 2 days and Adobe told me I had to pay for a full upgrade because they were out of PS 7 cd's. Two words... B.S.

But you are correct. They do have an option if you change os's. You have to sign and fax or mail a signed statement saying you won't use your old software. Just make sure a new version doens't come out or you are screwed.

Oh, and I bought a legal unregistered version of PS 4 off ebay for like $79 or so. Then bought the upgrade for another $169 or whatever it was back then. So full legal version for under $200 ;)

It won't do you no good Adam... it's in Romania
But I bet there's some near you - from time to time they have these "Get Legal!" campains... and they bundle a lot of (older) stuff and sell real cheap. Oh - the catch is you can't upgrade for a year....at least here. but it's registered and everything.

Thanks everyone for your replies! I found the educational version of Creatie Suite Premium CS (which has pretty much everything one needs) for $349. That deal is too hard to turn down. Sounds like you did get screwed Pank, that sucks. Those lazy tech support guys... haha.

Just make sure if you get an ed version you don't use it to make any money
