What's great about it: IT HAS A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE
What's not so great: iT HAS A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE
Bought this for college. Cannot validate software. Website that validates is down. Called Adobe, after 45 minutes, Adobe told me that they do not support software purchased at a retail store like Staples or Bestbuy. Am stuck with a 30 day trial . After that it's a FRISBEE. DO NOT BUY THIS. YOU WILL GET STUCK WITH IT. Don't make the same mistake I did. GOOGLE it https://www.identit-e.com/default/index/adobe . Everybody hates it. Even their websites certificate is invalid. My browser warned me of invalid certificate. WARNING!!!
DANGER!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Ease of use, ease of installation
What's not so great: Can't think of anything.
I use Adobe at work and have found it very useful so decided I needed to add it to my programs at home. Much easier to install than I thought it would be. Does all the things my business version does but at a lower price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Full Adobe product at much cheaper price, easy validation instructions.
What's not so great: Nothing
No issues with validating my software online like these other posts. It seemed pretty simple to me. After completing the required information online and providing a valid school email address, I had my serial number provided in minutes via email. I guess if your academic email does not validate for some reason then you have to go through the process of emailing supporting documents for verification. I was kinda surprised to get the serial number right away as the paper instructions implied that I was required to send supporting documents regardless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not sure why the other two users had such a hard time - I activated my copy in less than 5 minutes online. Go to: www.adobe.com/go/edu-validate.
If you enter your actual school email you don't have to send any proof, just follow steps and you will get the serial number via email within seconds of completing the forms.
Great product!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Everything
I just bought this program and have gone through HELL! not only do you have to go through another step through adobe, but you have to provide multiple forms of proof just to activate the program. Aside from these issues, the product code was wrong. Thanks for nothing Adobe, fail once again. You are better off saving the rest for the regular copy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: It comes with the installation disc
What's not so great: No serial number to fully activate it inside the box.
Well you would think Adobe was wise enough to sell you the Student and Teacher Edition to make the same revenue that Microsoft does when they sell the Student and Teachers Edition of Office.
Nope, Adobe wants to waste your time, and keep people employed by having you order this product and then get a sticker on the box that reads:
STOP!
Before installing this product you must obtain a Student and Teacher Edition serial number by following the instructions enclosed.
Now if you open this box, it is considered software and Best Buy will not offer a refund, and to register online it needs a code found only inside the wrapped box. What a conundrum...
Now you can send in all of your paper work by uploading this to Adobe website but after a week or more of waiting you could for some reason end up having Adobe decline your eligibility because someone at Adobe feels you do not meet the requirements for one reason this will end up with only one result:
You will be out ALL of your money, the box reads what if you can not activate : then you can use this product for 30days for the cost of $119.99
Complete waste of time, my advice is to download a free PDF writer off of the web before you order this product.
NOTE: I am returning this back to Best Buy unopened. I am not going to even venture down this road with Adobe.
* I have never been this mad about a purchase. *
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
