Adobe Student discounts

[MongooseMan]

I'm looking to buy Photoshop and Lightroom for my wife and, looking at the Adobe online store, I see that students can get up to 80% off these products. My wife's a student, so I'm keen to take advantage of this, since that's a massive saving.

Questions:
- Can I purchase from the US store?
- If not, how do I get the stuff for the cheaper price, since SA's online store doesn't cater for student discounts?

Dionwired has this range of products. Saw them yesterday.

With the student discount?

Yes, of course, I did read

IIRC Master Suite was around R5.5K. I can check again as the store is just down the road from me. How of course you register these boxed products I do not know but my understanding is that when you install, Adobe verifies your Student/Teacher status. Gimme about 40 minutes...

On the online store CS5 Extended is $199 and Lightroom is $89 for student editions. That works out to less than R2000, so would be interesting to see how DionWired compared.

I was out by a bit. The Design Std is R2500 and Master is R5000 but both boxes exclude Lightroom unless I just did not find this hidden in the spinal fine print. And my reason for investigating this: at R2500 for my purposes or even R5K if I wanted to splash, I could save countless $$$ by becoming a student just to get Adobe CS5.

Online is definitely cheaper though. Then there's the DL size...
