Question by Not a Player: I want to buy Adobe CS4 Student Edition, but I am not a student. What would I need to do?
Adobe CS4 came out recently. I want to purchase the program, but can’t afford to shell out $ 1,500.

I have heard that the student edition is around $ 350.00. I am not a student though and understand that if you purchase Student Edition programs, you must provide documentation or proof that you are enrolled. What would I need to do and what are the restrictions of buying Student Edition software if, once again, you are not a student.

That would be illegal. You are violating the licensing that Adobe has and if you do this you are committing fraud. Both you and anyone who assisted you would be committing fraud, and could be taken to court for this. It’s a bad idea.

A better idea would be enroll in a couple of local community college courses (even for just one quarter, so you are qualified as at least part time). Once you’ve done that, you will have student id and can go from there. But do not attempt to get this any other way.
