Hi Paul Thanks very much for the suggestions and links. It looks like it's going to be tricky working through adobe as we aren't a charity or a registered higher/further education establishment. And again I think we fall through the gaps of Pugh's licences. But there might be a bit of scope for us working with other software vendors.
