I kinda figured that was the case, because that's what I'd found research wise before I'd installed. Basically when I told the tech guy what happened he told me CS2 wouldn't work with Vista (which I think was just their way of getting around having to give me a new serial key? Since I'd technically installed on one too many computers or... whatever I'd done).
I was going to upgrade anyway? XD; I have a freelance project coming up...and this just gave me an excuse really. I will admit? I would have put it off longer if I COULD have... but... I hit a point after the 3rd call that I went "yeah. okay. done." since their tech wasn't overly supportive. Customer service? Freaking FANTASTIC. Support? not so much.
The nice thing was since I upgraded before February I got a 200$ discount... so instead of it costing me 799$ in Feb-Whenever (normal price). My upgrade only cost me 599$+taxes (free shipping) so that wasn't AS bad as I'd anticipated. I'll take a 200$ price drop any day. And I'm technically no longer under the student licensing as well (not that it made a HUGE difference unless I got sued for using it and freelancing). So I COULD legitimately go "HEY! I'm going to quit and FREELANCE! (if cost effective XD;)"
I'm also not TO horribly upset... because... since I'm buying it (in a rush) so that I can WORK on this freelance project (OMG THANK YOU OTAHYONI) I can use it as a tax writeoff, since it will be a business cost. Same with use of my computer, etc. All in all I'm okay with it... just... not overly enthusiastic about calling Adobe Tech support anytime soon?
