Here's some details on how to use it:

To NSW Public school students, you can now get Adobe Creative Cloud for free

Or copypasted:

Before I explain how to get it, here's some proof.

  1. Make an Adobe account if you don't have one already. You can do this later, but one of my friends did that and had some problems.

  2. Register here with your school email if you haven't already. If you have already made an account, log in and check that you have eligibility. (If you don't, i.e, it expired, go ahead and click renew or whatever it says, it'll just shoot your school email an email to make sure you're still enrolled)

  3. Go here and click the 'Adobe' tab, click on Adobe Creative Cloud.

  4. Add to cart and checkout (Don't need a CC)

  5. On your order results: there should be a 'Redemption code', copy that and email it to yourself so you don't lose it in case adobe wants to verify it or something.

  6. With that same redemption code, go here and click sign in at the bottom of the screen. It might ask you some stuff with regard to your school email, just fill that in. Then it asks you for the redemption code, enter that. Finally, it might ask you for payment details, you can close out of the tab at that point, they're not mandatory.

  7. Download Creative Cloud and choose the programs you want.

Note: This plan has the whole Creative Cloud suite, you still are on the base TypeKit plan. This probably won't affect you unless you want fancy fonts.

While I helped about 5 people today install and none had problems, if you have problems and you had a less than legitimate version of an adobe product before, make sure you uninstalled the less than legitimate product. If there are still problems, try running the Adobe Cleaner tool. double check that you don't have some entries in your hosts file relating to adobe.

Yea, this post looks big and scary but it takes <10 minutes to get it all up.

      What is Creative Cloud?
      Creative Cloud gives you everything you need to turn your brightest ideas into your best work across your desktop and mobile devices and share it with the world.

      Be damned if I can understand their mumbo jumbo !

      I believe it includes these software:

      Edit: Includes Acrobat DC, which will do for me :)

          Don't be: Adobe wants students using it (who probably wouldn't pay in the first place) so their employers do pay them once they get into the workforce not knowing anything else.

      • currentfad on 24/10/2016 - 18:55

        Wait, so this has everything listed? That's crazy

      google 'DET Portal login' and ask them to log in with their credentials they know for school.

      In primary i remember the credentials being either

      first.last<number> or first.last<number>@detnsw (number only being there for some people, with the password being their grade number. Ask their teacher maybe?

          You can get more than one year. Just need to get another key next year, they point this out on the key page.

      • haboutnnah on 24/10/2016 - 20:02

        Nope.

    • haboutnnah on 24/10/2016 - 20:02

      In 12 months you go back and get a new key. They say so on the key page.

      Graduated students should still get access to their student emails if they remember it. I still get access to my student account years after graduating. I also have access through my teachers account should I need to get additional keys (plus additional accounts that were made during prac placements).

      Essentially have never needed to pay for any Adobe or Microsoft software for the past 6 years!

  • fezzo on 24/10/2016 - 21:13

    I think this is great for education and for primary school kids, but these Adobe products are high-end, industry standard software, bit hard to see 12 year olds using it. High school/uni students would have benefited massively from this too.

    • lambsie on 24/10/2016 - 21:16

      It is available for DET students I believe, so high school students within the public system should be receiving it :)

      • haboutnnah on 24/10/2016 - 21:56

        Correct, anyone with .education

      My 8 year old plays with all kinds of software…even simple coding software. You're thinking with the mind of someone raised in the 70s or 80s I suspect. I've seen 18 month olds use the menu and bring up apps they want on an iPhone.

      • fezzo on 30/10/2016 - 01:34

        Thought I'd get this comment. I'm 22 FYI. Of course kids these days are increasingly interacting with more and more complex software these days. Just saying it would've been nice to see this extended to students who are older and can utilise the software further.

        • syousef on 30/10/2016 - 07:53

          Yeah fair call.

    Thanks used my school email even though I graduated, it says after the one year's up you can visit the page again and renew it, so probably not a good idea if you're trying to not activate the products until you need it!

  • moza on 25/10/2016 - 08:49

    It's a "desktop download" version, so some things are not included which are with the paid creative cloud subscription. For example, Adobe Portfolio is an additional $9.90 per month, whereas with all other creative cloud accounts it's included.

    It is hard to find online info for the specific exclusions on the student version…. I had to learn by trial and error what was included and what wasn't.

  • unkown on 25/10/2016 - 10:42

    Nice! This is how you [almost] kill piracy. Offer stuff for free (legitimately) to the people who are least likely to pay for it. They'll me more than happy to pay for it down the line if they decide to want to use the software professionally.
