It turns out that I am eligible to get educational pricing for photoshop as my DP (domestic partner) works for a college.

I have not found any information about what would be the difference between the licenses on an educational version as opposed to the commercial version.

Does anyone have any information on this?

to my knowledge, i don't believe you're allowed to use educational versions for commercial work, but i could be wrong.

From Adobe Educational Sales Information for Adobe Products

Adobe educational software is identical to the retail versions, although there may be differences in packaging or marketing. For instance, a retail product may include promotional items (such as free fonts or clip art) that is not included with the educational version of the product. Additionally, because educational products are already discounted, they may not qualify for special pricing offered to non-educational customers.

You are correct, Lacuna. Educational versions are not supposed to do commercial work.
I had an Ed version of PS 6, and I remember reading that.

If you aren't using the software for academic purposes, you're in violation of the licence terms. So yeah, can't (legally) use it for "fun" or for commercial work.

But a contest, for instance, has an academic purpose (research, innovation).

"Academic" would include learning the software...

I would rather not be encumbered, the savings on the educational license is not worth that.
