OSX Student License

Hey folks, does anyone know what the deal is with purchasing OSX on student license from Apple, I had a brief look around the apple site and it just says to call a number.

Can it be done by visiting a store? What sort of price will a single license be?

Cheers dude.

I didnt want to take a trip out and find I'd ballsed up.

It's not technically a students license with any of their software.

It's full versions, as you would buy if you weren't a student just discounted.

Ahh ok. Thats cool.

Well it turns out that Apple no longer offer student discount on OSX. It is the only thing they don't offer discount on. Grrr. :mad:

How so? I'm on the online store and even though I can't access the HE Store I still get money off on the normal education store :confused:

I went to the Apple store in Milk an' Beans to make some enquiries about upgrading my powerbook from 10.3 to 10.5 and apparently they don't offer the operating systems on with student discount any more.

Chances are it'll make my power book just a 'book' after the upgrade because according to the website I have minimum spec. I'd be willing to do it for a reduced rate, but loath to do so for £85.

Don't know who told you that, but they do still have education discounts.

Higher Eduction:

Further Education:

Normal:

The person you were talking to was chatting rubbish.

Smokey McPot · 30 Mar 2008 at 12:50

Well thats certainly reassuring. Thanks.

I thought going to a store would be better than buying online. Bah.

A lot of the time they don't offer it in store. Really depends what one you go to.

I'd stick with ordering over the phone or on the net with education purchases.

Saturday afternoon in a newly opened store perhaps wasn't my smartest move ever. I swear its like a geek pilgrimage.

Geek pilgrimage?

Nah, there's more chavs than anything else there, checking their MySpace and Facebook on all the Macs.

There were a lot of people that only looked like they only come out at night or for the sci-fi convention every year. It was scary.

It doesn't depend on who you're talking to. They DO do it instore, I believe the discount is 10%. It's a SET discount for each tier of education, in the form of a percentage, and it's common to ALL apple stores. The online stores can be cheaper though I believe.
