Best Discount for Adobe Products

As an Adobe Developer and Trainer I often get asked regarding discounts for Adobe products. Here's my, unfortunately, short list to all the ways I know of legally getting a discount for Adobe products.

There are three possible discounts for Adobe products that you may qualify for:

Your Uncle's Neighbor's Son Works for Adobe:

one: you have a friend or relative who works for Adobe.
Typically they'll be able to get the entire suite of products for about $100. 

Your nine your old daughter needs to learn InDesign

two: you are a student. Check out  the educational discounts for Adobe Products:
This link will take you to the educational discount page on the adobe web site. 

 

Your Aunt Louise Volunteers at a the Local Community Center

three: you work for a non-profit organization. Check out the organization Tech Soup (formerly named Compumentors) which specializes in providing support and services for non-profit organization: 


The url to their home page is: http://www.techoup.org (from there click on "Get Product" link.

Tech Soup has relationships with many software vendors (including Adobe) to provide highly discounted products to non-profit organizations.

Also don't forget the 30 day free most Adobe products. The "Try It" link can typically be found on the product page for each Adobe product. This is a full version of the product good for 30 days after which it will stop working, at which point you can buy it (at full price) or uninstall from your computer.
