What is the difference between Adobe InDesign cs6 and Cs6 Design and Web Premium-Student&Teacher Ed?

I undrerstand the student and teacher comes with numerous programs. But what I want to know is what is missing in the InDesign program that allows the student edition to be half the price as the full version and includes more programs. What is in the Full Version that is not in the student edition?

Thanks

    There are no differences between Student/Teacher versions versus retail versions.  The only difference is the price.

    I just find it hard to believe. How can they offer a program with like 6 programs for $350 and just indesign alone is $700? You are 1000% positive there is no difference in the controls from each other and that both programs have the exact same features. I need the program for my desktop publishing class in college and I want to make sure I get the right program but also save money.

    Thanks Again!!

    There is no difference. The software is identical. Only difference is the licensing.

    Look at it the other way round: it's not that the STE version of the Suite is cheap (always has been to encourage early software adoption by students and teachers), it's more that the standalone retail version of Indesign is priced high by Adobe to encourage sales of the suites.

    Try this explanation of the differences to understand what you get in terms of STE (Student Teacher Edition) licensing.
