Getting Adobe Contribute CS3 / Purchasing & Licensing
Subtitles of the Movie
In this movie, let's take a look at the purchasing and licensing of Adobe Contribute CS3. Let's get out on the internet and head to Adobe.com. Once we're at Adobe, we simply can click on the products area. And as we scroll down, we can actually select Contribute by itself right here. Once you're in Adobe Contribute CS3, it will give you obviously a lot of detailed information. Over at the left, of course, is the price. You can buy it by itself or as an upgrade if you have a previous version of Contribute. One of the great things is it allows a free trial. You can download this. All you have to do is sign up for an Adobe account. You download it, you get it for 30 days. You get to use it like the true program and then once the 30 days are up, you either have to get rid of it or simply purchase the version that you need. If you want to compare the versions, you can take a look at all that information. What that will allow you to do is look at all the create suite versions. There's like a web design version, etcetera. So you can actually see how those compare because you may want more possibilities within your software purchase. You have a design version, Premium Standard Web, Premium Standard. Of course you have the Master Collection. But as you can see as you scroll through all that, Contribute is part of the Master Collection and your web version. So take a look at that if you want to purchase an entire package. I'm going to go back where we were and of course you can look at the features area, get all the specific details there, lots of information. As you can see, they have a nice video tip information and of course they have more as you go through it. And again, it'll let you update websites and blogs. Right here you've got system requirements. We'll cover that in the next movie. You have customer stories. Look at how other people are using it and see if it's similar to you. That might really help; reviews and awards, what companies have really though this was a great program and of course, the FAQs. That's a really great section. You can go in here and look at what people are frequently asking and find out a lot of information. One thing you'll notice here is that it's compatible with all the different operating systems, whether you're Mac or Windows and whether you're XP in Windows or Vista to take a look at those options. I'm going to go back where we were. You can also intend seminars and get more information on CS3. Let's go over here and click on the buy link. Again, once you're in here you've got the upgrade or the full version. You can also call to order it. You can select a specific store, look at the different categories, you can quickly download it, buy it and immediately install it and you're ready to go. One of the things you're going to want to look at are volume purchasing. Volume purchasing allows you to purchase numerous items for your company and that way we can get a better deal off of your Contribute purchase. You can also look at Adobe resellers. This will let you choose your area, whether you're in North America, South America, wherever you're at and it will let you find an Adobe reseller quickly and easily to purchase your product. The other thing I want to make sure that you know about are the educational discounts. Here, if you go to the education stores, you'll see some different places and links that you can look at so that way you can get an educational discount, meaning if you're a staff person, like a teacher or student, you can get an educational discount. So take advantage of that and get the discount, get a better price and you'll enjoy Contribute. Another thing that you can do is simply head out to a search engine, like Google, and you can type in purchase Adobe Contribute CS3. Complete that search and you'll see all kinds of places that you can buy Adobe Contribute. I'm going to click on one of the links and it will take us right out there where we can look at all kinds of places to buy Contribute. You want to make sure that you have a valid licensed version, so make sure that you look for that. But you can buy it in several places. There's also several places that offer that educational discount, so take a look around and purchase Contribute where it's easy for you. If you already have an account at a certain company, that really could make it simple. Go there, purchase it and download it and you're done. Now, in the next movie, we'll take a look more specifically at the tech specs for Contribute.
