just tried again, on my main computer i just get a big red cross when i paste in the serial from the 'my products' page on the adobe site.

dear Jeff

i sent an email off yesterday about the creative cloud, ie i did all the pages and told to wait for the email, which has still not arrived, yes i've checked junk. If this could be sorted asap, as i have to go back to move house and go back to school in a day's time.

cheers

As there is no difference in price i paid for the general rather then the student creative cloud.

That has been done. He said that Adobe was not in a globalised world. that me having a USA address, being stationed in China, through an Australian university and having an Australian credit card (those banks make profits rather then sending the world in financial chaos) was bewildering to Adobe who lives in a very 19th century world were each country should be treated differently, despite that software coming off the same servers, having the same call centre, and in my case, the same language. So I set up my account with my USA address and used my credit card and Australian university while living in China to buy Lightroom. The transaction went through. This is the email I received.

Please note:

1. no where does it object to the mixed countries of my transaction.

2. no where does it ask for me to supply my student ID (past the process to buy this software). ie no 14 days to register a student card as stated by service.

• So one, I would like to install this software to fully working on my MacPro, so that i can continue my study, thank so.
• 
  
• two i would buy an adobe subscription for the USA address on my Australian credit card at the price advertised when i started trying.
• 
  
• Three Adobe catch up to the globalised world, it is so much hassle to buy your software, it should be a easy, fair and just (like the USA properganda movies say it is, oh China propaganda has nothing on our good old US of A...).

Thank you
