Will my student account disappear after graduation?

Hi! I'm going to need Adobe CC this year for my final semester of college classes. If I sign up for the account with my student email, I'm worried I won't be able to access the account any longer past graduation (when my student email expires) will the license:

 

1. Still work post-graduation? (Will I still be able to pay the student price for a year even if I am not enrolled in the Spring?)

2. Still work if I cannot access the original email any longer, or will I be able to sign up with a different email at that point? (Or, initally if that's better?)

From what I understand, if you don't have access to the email, you may still be able to access your Adobe account but if something goes wrong, you'd have problems and would have to speak to Adobe directly to try change the account. Your email is linked to your account but it can be changed as outlined in the page below:

In terms of whether you can still pay the student price, my guess is if you signed up while a student and had that verified, that would last for the full year, even if you stop being a student before then. However, when you renew, you'd have to would not be able to continue with the student price as you can no longer verify you are a student.

If you have one, use your personal email when you make a purchase... you do have to prove that you are a student, but as far as I know you do not have to use a school email
