For Sale

I recently purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 for Mac (Standard version) from a company that sells at a discount to teachers and students. I have purchased from them before many times, and was given to understand by them that I would still be considered a student until November of this year, even though my official graduation date was January 31st. With this understanding, I made the purchase. I paid 317 dollars for software that normally sells for 1,300. This includes:

1. Adobe Acrobat X (does amazing things with pdf documents)
2. Photoshop (does amazing things with photographs and other images)
3. Illustrator (creates diagrams, illustrations, drawings, etc.)
4. In Design (Page layout program, like Apple’s Pages, but much more powerful)

Now I find out that this particular sale is not covered under their normal policy. In order to get the license to use this software, I need to have graduated within the last six months. I missed it by one month! Furthermore, the company I bought it from refuses to let me return it. So now I have this wonderful software that I’m unable to get a license for. So I’m putting it up for sale. I’ll sell it for 280 dollars to anyone who is family. I’ll also take payments over time. To be able to get the license, you just have to prove that you are a teacher or a student in an accredited school. This would include a document showing (1) your name as a teacher or student, (2) the name of the institution, and (3) the current semester or other time frame the school uses.

Let me know if you are interested.

If you want to see how it works, you can download a copy and try it–I think for 30 days– from the adobe.com website:  http://success.adobe.com/en/na/sem/products/creativesuite/family.html?kw=p&sdid=IBERE&skwcid=TC|22178|adobe%20creative%20suite||S|p|6247410880
