Quote - #### Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?

Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use.

 

That goes for all programs, not just Photoshop.  The idea behind student teacher pricing is to make the programs more affordable for users. 

Also, think about it.  How would they restrict your usage anyway?  Since there is no difference in features, how would Adobe or another company even know if you were using a "Student" priced version, vs a "Non Student" priced one, for commercial ventures?

I'm sure there are many freelancers who purchased the Student priced one when eligible to do so, and have continued to use it for commercial purposes.  There is no way for Adobe, or any other company who sells full featured versions at student discounts,  to prevent that since they don't have and eye into your home. It's just common sense that the student license "grants" permission to use it commercially.
