How can I tell if my copy of CS5 is an educational copy?

[AKD79]

I recently sold my old copy of Photoshop CS5 after upgrading to CC.
However, the guy who bought it is telling me it's an educational copy.
I also bought it second hand, but it was sold to me as a standard edition.
Is there any way of telling from the serial number?
Or any other method?
I need to know whether to refund him and take it back.

The only difference between the two is the licence the software is the same.  Uses here do not have access to Adobe's databases you need to communicate with the Staff.

Thanks. I tried calling up but they told me they couldn't tell me over the phone and to try the forums! Not quite sure where to go next...

There's no way to tell the difference between educational and standard, so I'm not sure what a refund should be for.

It's a moot point now, but the old CS educational licenses were fully upgradeable at the normal upgrade price. This would turn it into a standard full license.

Technically the license is strictly personal and a transfer-of-ownership form to Adobe is required - but as perpetual licenses are discontinued there's no way to ever upgrade it anyway. So maybe that point is moot too.

Thanks very much for your answers.
