Has Adobe CS2 shipped locally?

[tomshen]

Hello, wondering if anyone out there has found Adobe CS2 locally. I am planning to get an educational-lisenced copy. Not sure about the availability. Thanks for any info.

Here is some discussion on educational version vs full version. Seems that educational version also can be used *commercially*.

No, a printing company who print my company name card got caught by BSA for using Edu softwares include Adobe Photoshop. :nono:

July.
Educational is not for commercial use.

Order online should be much faster and cheaper than buy it locally.

sigh, not any discount available for a full version of CS. I actually need photoshop and adobe writer in the package. The rest are not important to me. But paying these two software is the same as purchasing the full box at 2k+. Going to try Gimp. My photoshop element 2 is still functioning...

May I know where is South Asia please? Maybe I could get the educational version first and later upgrade to a full version with less overall price. Need to check out on this.

Order online through US is defintely cheaper by a couple of hundreds.

Educational pack cannot use for upgrading - at least not to the retail pack.

Not true. Adobe site has some info regarding "upgrading educational version to the full version". I also read such upgrading in DPReview forum.

Just check with Milan from P&P. The education pack cannot upgrade to full retail pack. It will have a free upgrade for CS2 educational pack.

Stock will come late June.
