Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I should have read the Amazon discussion page first. "Adobe's student editions don't include an installation code in the box. You have to submit your academic credentials directly to Adobe to be emailed an installation code." If you buy from Amazon, and then get denied by Adobe (as I did, since I am going to a private college that is not on Adobe's list), you will have to go through the trouble of returning the software to Amazon. With a direct purchase from Adobe, your credit card shouldn't be billed until your academic credentials have been reviewed and approved.
