A
Note About Buying Commercial Software
The cheapest way to buy commercial software is to be
(or know) a college student. When you are a
college student, all of the major software developers
ie: Microsoft, Adobe, Nuance etc. offer extreme
discounts (up to 85% off list price) to college
students hoping for their future business. Every
college student is issued an email address with .edu
at the end. If you search software developer's
websites for student discounts you will find hidden
pages where you can purchase their software, very
inexpensively, as long as your email address ends in .edu. |
