Hello,
You must be new round these parts. :)
For art and programs, we do not pass around or post request for such...unless you are the original creator of the art and /or application. It's possible, but the creators of Adobe are not members here yet so the likely hood of you getting Photoshop from a member here is almost none. Someone can sell you what they have I guess, (Adobe frowns on that). but if you were even able to put it on your computer at all, you then won't be able to contact support at all. I think the application CD's or downloads allow you up to two installs on a computer so you have to get someone who has an install left. The trouble with that, is that most people prefer to keep all they have as it's possible that some time, something will go wrong and they will need to install it again...and they won't have it. That would be a kick in the pant.

Haven't we seen this request recently? Pick up an older version on eBay, you can save considerably that way, but you need to be sure it's legitimate, and that you can transfer the license. Adobe lets you do that...

OK...Guys thanks for the information....well appreciated.
-
the best thing to do is pick up an older version and upgrade it. check to make sure it's eligible for an upgrade though.
-
Take a nite college course and you are "legally" able to buy a student version for next to nothing....250.00 for just photoshop or 350.00 for the standard suite.....

But the license probably excludes commercial use and may not qualify for upgrades

When I got the first CS like that, it stated that it is not ment to be used for comercial purposes and that it can not be upgraded.
I believe that the student price is cheaper that a full upgrade anyhow.

I don't know about commercial use, but I know for sure that upgrades weren't allowed. I haven't checked that in while though...

From Adobe website:
Can I upgrade my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software?
Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software can be upgraded to a commercial version when the user is no longer a student or teacher.

Now that I think of it, yes, it could be upgraded, but the first upgrade was the full price, or higher than the upgrade. I bought Illy 8 for my wife years ago, that came with an upgrade to 10 for a lot less money than buying it outright, and it was completely legit. I checked the student route, but found the other route to be more economical in the end. Maybe the original poster should try GIMP... it's free.

It does appear that Adobe has gotten far more generous on their policy here, but, of course, still always depended on the honor system any way.
A similar situation still remains with the one condition that seems pertinent, though those wishing to take advantage of the considerable discount will likely find an easy hair to split.
The one computer that the program resides upon can not be your shop computer, but rather only your personal computer.
Student & Teacher Edition software may be used on your privately-owned computer only.
btw, this helps explain many of the crazy, over-complicated, often low resolution disasters we receive as "camera ready" art. ;D

I do not, nor do I want to study EULA's, but have read more than a few times that under the 'first sale' doctrine in copyright law that once a 'qualified' buyer purchases an educational license piece of software, they can sell it to whomever they want. Unfortunately, in practice, the agreement you make to install says you are a licensee, and not an owner. So while you may have bought the program and own the media the program comes on, you have no rights to the program. Makes even less sense than most copyright law. ???
Our friends up north are far more fortunate than we in the US as far as copyright and EULA consumer protections go... not sure how those license agreements fit into their system.

I think it's the same with music CD's; you can't just make copies and distribute them...

That is true--I guess my point was, the 'First sale' doctrine that applies to music and video does NOT apply to software with a EULA (end user license agreement) you agree to. If they do not allow your transfer of the software, you can get sued for transferring the software. The difference lies in accepting a EULA, vs. a CD, tape, record, etc. that has no associated agreement. I believe there was a case involving Autodesk where they defended their right to 'tiered' distribution through the EULA.
Might be changing with digital video and audio. You could have a EULA in order to access digital downloads, they could stipulate whatever they want--i.e. we can delete your files remotely because of all those pages of crap you didn't read when you installed/opened the package.

some of the answers can be read in "How can I use my software. During and AFTER school" for student edition.

I stand corrected!
Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?
Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use.
so as long as it is on a personal computer, it is OK. That does make a big difference!
thanx for that link!
