That's true. I was speaking to an Adobe rep and he also confirmed the following which some may find useful.
There is no upgrade path in the student version meaning if you want to go from 5 to 6, you would have to buy the student version of 6 at the full student price but the student discount is something like 80% so it becomes irrelevant.
However, you can upgrade to the commercial version from the student version.
If anyone does have a student or faculty position then it's a fantastic deal. I got the full Creative Master Suite 5 at an 80% discount direct from Adobe on my faculty card.
It's worth signing up to a course just to get the discount. |

The red i highlighted was always questioned by many saying they would not allow this and now you have clarified this for me at least.

I have CS5, purchased by my daughter-in-law for me with a student discount. She's a teacher. Works the same as the regular retail version. |
