I just purchased Adobe CS4 Creative Suite Web Premium from a retailer and when I opened it, I was surprised to see two disks, "Application 1" and "Application 2" labeled as "30-day trial". There is a serial number on the back of the package labeled as "Web Premium Ed".

Is my package the real thing? Or have I been ripped off with a series of disks that are only the trial versions?

Another (OK, silly I hope) concern. The "Ed" on the label stands for "Edition" not "Education", correct?

I cannot return this after I install it.

Yep.. All of Adobe's Trials are actually full version with a 30 day timer. By using the supplied key, you disable the clock and enable unlimited uses.

As far as I know, there's no difference between the standard version and the education version other then the serial number that activates it..

Whew. Thanks. I feel better. Thanks for the quick response.
