Adobe CS4 Student Editon of Commercial Use

[skunkworx]

I am a student at a local college and I am need of an Adobe CS4 program like Dreamweaver. Since I might eventually build my own websites, how would Adobe know if your using a student edition on the world wide web. Does it leave watermarks on the websites your build? I have heard their isn't any differences between the student and commercial version. So, can you purchase the student version and use it for both student projects and also ecommerce websites? Any ideas?

Skunkworx: I am doing some work with Adobe on the Student Editions, so here is the official info:

Creative Suite 4 Student Editions are functionally identical to full commercial version as is the work they produce. The main difference is that Student Editions are up to 80 percent off for eligible higher ed students to save them money. I am not sure where you are located, however in North America you ARE permitted to use Student Editions for commercial use. There is a brief FAQ for the North American Student Editions here:
