BannerJohn 1,324 Posted February 23, 2009 I don't know anyone who uses it for anything OTHER than commercial use. Seems like and expensive thing to buy for a hobby. Just curious...how do they know how you use it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayshorecreations 30 Posted February 23, 2009 You probably won't find a "great deal" on Illustrator anywhere and if you do it is probably not a legal copy. Adobe seems to make sure that their prices are kept at the same level across the board. Why not look on Ebay for a used older copy? You can probably find a great price for CS2 or CS3 there.

jfought 120 Posted February 23, 2009 any graphic that you create and use on the web it has a trace embeded in the graphic that you cannot do anything about. it also has it in the liecense agreement. i guess if you don't use it for web work it would be fine. just my .02 but i could be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
