As I hate the fact that we are being ripped off for Adobe Photoshop in this country I was wondering if anyone has successfully bought it from the states?
Adobe are pretty strict on licensing. I'm sure you would have Region licensing problems. Not sure I would chance it myself.
i bought it in Thailand for about £1
If you have kids or know a kid (of relative or friend) at a particular school try sofeware4students, they have photoshop at a greatly reduced price. I have had windows 7 and Office 2007 from them, its all official kosher software.
This may be true for living in the UK and buying it as a download from thereAdobe are pretty strict on licensing. I'm sure you would have Region licensing problems. Not sure I would chance it myself.
How do regional liscensing problems apply in this instance?
Thanks, so ordinarily not a problem
Adobe are only doing it to protect income from "rip off UK":
All their software are uniformly cheaper in the US/Canada
Given the kind of "global Village" the world has become and as such how easily folk migrate or relocate( even in the short term) it is a very silly restriction whose sole aim is greed (IMHO)
Just imagine the aggravation a UK student on an exchange program in the US who has a copy of UK sourced Adobe software ( or vice versa) will face
