Academic Discounts

Safe Harbor carries a number of products that are discounted for academic sale. These are typically full-featured products that are limited only in the licensing agreement (typically you can't use them for commercial work).

To qualify for the substantial savings that academic discounts offer, you need to provide Safe Harbor with proof of qualification:

• An official purchase order from your academic institution
• Or, a copy of your class schedule showing a current date
• Or, a copy of your student or teacher ID showing a current date
• Or, a letter from a school official on school letterhead stating that you are a current student or teacher.

Email one of the above to sales@sharbor.com or fax it to 262-548-8130 within 48-hours of placing your order to avoid extra delays or order cancellation.

Adobe

In order to get a serial number and unlock the software, the student will need to provide proof of eligibility and be validated by Adobe. During that process, the student may use the software in trial mode for 30 days before receiving a serial number.

To verify eligibility, please review the guidelines here.

Adobe Student Editions are for purchase by higher education students ONLY. A higher education student is defined as a full- or part-time student enrolled at a higher education institution defined as an accredited public or private university or college (including community, junior, or vocational college) that grants degrees requiring no less than the equivalent of two (2) years of full-time study.

After a student purchases an Adobe Student Edition, he or she must apply for a serial number from Adobe via the Internet, e-mail, or fax. Proof of eligibility must be included in the application for the serial number.

The student must provide a valid, current student ID that includes name, date, and a photo. If the student does not have a current student ID with name, date, and photo, the student must instead provide a valid photo ID and corroborating evidence of current enrollment:

• Official, current non-photo student ID with name and date
• Official, current school transcript indicating name of school and student
• Official, current school tuition bill indicating name of school and student
• Official, current report card indicating name of school and student
• Other official dated proof of enrollment

If a student needs an Adobe Student Edition immediately, he or she may install their Adobe Student Edition software in trial mode while awaiting their serial number from Adobe. The student may use the software for 30 days in trial mode. After 30 days, the Adobe Student Edition will require a serial number for continued use.

Due to Adobe's procedure, there are NO RETURNS on any Student Editions, for any reason. Safe Harbor is not liable for purchases deemed ineligible by Adobe. Be sure you can comply with their requirements before purchasing.

E-on Software

The Vue 7 licensing scheme for educational licenses is based on an annual subscription. Licenses are valid for one year from the date of first activation. This annual subscription includes free upgrades to any .5 or full versions released during the subscription period.

Expired Educational Licenses will continue to operate as PLE; this limitation is automatically removed (when the subscription is renewed), by simple reactivation.
