Student Charged for Full Price Creative Cloud

Hi all,
I'm currently a University student studying Film and Television, and was eager to get into some private editing through Premiere as part of my course. I signed up after selecting the student payment version of Creative Cloud, and purchased. At the time I was under the impression that it was a monthly plan as opposed to annually (which is my error). I also noticed that the next month I will be charged full price, as opposed to student prices, so I went to cancel to find out the cancellation fee is upwards of $300. I am unable to afford either the cancellation or the annual continual of my plan at full price, so I submitted my student eligibility information.

I was wondering if there's any way to cancel without fee or pay for only a singular month of the creative cloud, as I won't be able to afford it annually as a student until I have a solidified place earning money in the industry. Does anyone know if Adobe is able to make exceptions, particularly as I have only purchased this morning?

Additionally, when I DID go to download and install Premiere to try and get my moneys worth at the very least, it wouldn't install as it refuses to install on a network drive.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

baileyw,

There are a lot of contradicting information.

First the good news:

If your school is recognized, you are eligible as a student to get the student subscription. Student subscriptions are annual plans paid monthly or prepaid.

The plan you took was probably the standard annual all apps CC paid monthly. It can be cancelled without a fee for up to 14 days after buying the plan. So I'm wondering what went wrong with your cancellation:

(...)I also noticed that the next month I will be charged full price, as opposed to student prices, so I went to cancel to find out the cancellation fee is upwards of $300. (...)

No, it will not install on a network drive, as most programs won't.
