(More customer reviews)Beware of Adobe's licensing. The studio comes with one serial number for all the included software, which means that you cannot use its individual components as standalone products. So if you want to install Photoshop and Illustrator on one desktop, and Premiere and After Effects on another, you are out of luck.
Also, Adobe's customer support is incredibly incompetent. I had to call Adobe three times over the course of three days before I was told that this was the case! They don't seem to know basic things about their product line, for example, that Production Studio is a Windows-only product. To make things worse, the first representative told me to delete all of the Adobe licensing files from my computer to solve the activation issue, and then use the `repair' option on a re-install, after which I was supposed to have been able to activate the software over the internet. There is no repair option on the re-install, deleting the licensing files didn't solve the activation issue, and instead forced me to re-install the entire Production Studio and the Creative Suite 2, which was also installed on the same computer! The second representative told me that he would transfer my case to the `tech support,' who would call me back on the same day, and who never did. On the third day, I was finally told that I simply cannot use individual components as standalone products. So whether you install only Photoshop, or the whole suite, from the activation point of view both count as one complete installation. I feel that Adobe needs to make this point very clear to their customers. Had I known this, I would have chosen a completely different way to upgrade my software.
