Mmmm the strange thing is ..that when i try to order PShop .. i always end up with a educational version in my cart ...
So there is something fishy .. about this cutting prizes @ adobe..
The Adobe store never worked right before and never will in the future ..
SO BE CARE FULL with ordering .. the Academic version req. a VALID student number..
I cant order any cut down item .. other then a academic one.. strange but that's Adobe...

At least I didn't get an email about this one - when they were offering US customers 10% off the already lower US price, with nothing for us, they kept sending me emails about it -which did absolutely nothing to make me think better of them.

How do you know if it's the Academic version in your cart? I put it in my cart and it says nothing about it being the academic version, I don't know if I'm missing something somewhere?

Is this a recent experience? I've bought from them last fall and it used my paypal money, not my credit card so wondering if this is something that happened recently or?*

I know its the academic version because it said so when i dropped the normal in the cart..
Somehow it switched to academic and it re directs me to the academic store where i had to put in my student ID...
Paypal ..yes about 50 days ago i tryed to buy a PS ext upgrade.. i have More then enough money on paypal.. but not on the linked CC ... and they stopped the order because of the CC .. i killed the order gave them a call .. tryed to do it again ... same result ..CC was not covering the cost and Paypal money was not used at all ..
So Paypal at ADOBE and at Apple for that matter .. is Fake ..

Thank you very much for the info! I thought I was going to have to wait until I could enroll in school before I'd get a price like that. It worked for me, and I'm downloading right now. :)
