I paid nearly full price online for the factory version of Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. They sent me the academic version. I wouldn't mind just getting my $ back, but who knows what else they could pull. I haven't opened it yet.
Should I try to install it anyway, but the BIG question is --do I need a student email/edu to install it? I am not a student.
As a fairly recent student however, I spent several weeks seeing if there was a way to still order a student version, but with no ID anymore I decided to pay full price, or at least what I thought was a sale price. And now I get it anyway, ticks me off.
If you paid full price, you should get the full version. Unless it was just a picking error, they could be buying academic software cheap and selling it for full price. Big no-no. I bought Lightroom through an academic reseller because my wife was enrolled in a college class at the time and I didn't have any problems installing it.
I'd send it back and get a refund. There was one company that was giving academic versions when people paid for regular versions and Microsoft sued them.
