I looked into the upgrade of my Adobe France online store bought US English
edition CS3 Design Premium to see what the upgrade price would be,.
It is 1029€ for Adobe France CS5 Design Premium English version compared to
799$ US ( 586.85 Euro) for the same upgrade.
So I will have to go to the US to buy it, as my Canadian patriots with their
above par $CDN have to pay a premium as well>
Luckily the student and teacher price is not that much different, and a very
fair price at that. Only thing is it is not in the EULA to use it for
professional purposes outside of teaching, which is not a full time thing
for most teachers including me.
