I am looking to buy for Adobe Professional for use on my office PC. I saw an Academic version for sale that said;

" The word "Academic" is imprinted on the box, however this software is 100% genuine and can legally be used for both commercial and educational use".

Is this true?

I don't want to do anything illegal just to save a hundred bucks!

Thanks,

Any Academic version of any software is limited to students, teachers, and teaching institutions. Also they are never good for upgrading. You have t buy a full version of your next upgrade.

Most Adobe apps now require Activation via Adobe (don't know about Acrobat). Buy an academic version and you might get tagged on activation - don't know.

Spring for the whole, legal thing. Adobe upgrade proces are always fairly low, so you'll save a lot and future upgrades. Also, unless you need some fancy features of a latest release, you can generally get by with vrey few upgrades.
