Hmm I get your point David. The weird thing is that they do offer price-reductions if you buy Lightroom + another Adobe product...in the Student and Educator part of the Shop. So that would incline that you could use them both I think(at least that seems very logical). However the sentence you quotes makes it look otherwise.
I thought it was only one copy of everything Adobe is currently offering, but not two of any one specific item. This is worse than cropping when you start over-thinking things. I still don

I just received an e-mail from ACDSee that Pro version 4 has been announced and will be forthcoming in the near future.

I do not think your assumption is correct. If one wasn't they could call adobe to clarify.
But this is the way I interpret this.
It would mean you can buy one license for each different program per year. You couldn't buy multiple suites because you would end up with more than one license of the same program.
One of my sons is taking classes in adobe in college. He has multiple classes a year using Pro, or Illustrator or whatever. It wouldn't make sense to limit students to one program a year when they have to take several to get degrees.
Lightroom is not bundled in the suites. You can add it to the suites at a discount. Unless they have changed this in the last few months.
Early on, LR3 was bundled with CS5 but only for a limited time. Now they have a deal where you buy the two on the same ticket and save 30% on LR3. It

I pre ordered CS5 and had it the day it was released. The deal then was that if you bought the update, I believe it was $99, they would add LR. I have never seen it where it was part of the suite.
I didn't get LR at the time, and since have had the discount with other items I have bought. But, I never could see the need in it. I use DPP to raw convert, I sort and organize in Adobe Bridge. I have Photoshop for the next level if I need to take it out of DPP, so not sure what good LR would be.
There was a big

I much prefer your interpretation, HDNitehawk, which would translate to "You can use as much of our software as you want, but we

I'm soooo confused! [:S]
This is how I take it ...
I think you can get one copy of each program for as many programs as you want. And I think, PS and Lightroom are considered two programs and do not come as a bundle, just a discounted price if you buy both. When I put them in my cart on Amazon, they came up as two seperate items.
Lightroom takes the place of using DPP, right? So, all a person should need is DPP & PS or Lightroom & PS, correct? You would be amazed at how many photo-editing programs I have on my computer and only know about 25% of what each one can really do! But each one does alittle something that the others don't that I like! It's time to narrow it down and stop confusing myself and my computer ...but I like DPP ...and DxO Optics ...oh, and maybe the new version of ACDSee Pro and OMG here I go!
It will be quite awhile before I (I mean she) can get student pricing so until then maybe Lightroom will allow me another free trial and I can try to break away from DPP?
