Beta testing for Adobe

KevinCarter · #1 04-27-2009, 04:52 PM

Does anyone have a direct contact for Adoble for becoming a certified Beta tester? I called a few Adobe numbers and talk to a few people with very thick Indian accents, it's a nightmare. If someone is in the know and can provide the accurate direct email or phone number, I would greatly appreciate it.

Are you familiar with Adobe Labs? They release some Betas for consumer testing.

I just buy their products when they're first released.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Jerry expand on that. Where do I write them?

This page seems to give pertinent information, Kevin:

Prerelease - Adobe Labs

Noel, would one be able to have the final version for free? I wouldn't want to be stuck with the pre-release version, and usually for beta-testing you are granted the final at no charge.

I don't know as I'm not a pre-release tester.

My guess would be no, you will have to pay like everyone else. Adobe is a big company with little interest in giving away software. Quite likely the pre-release versions will expire, forcing your hand. That seems to be the way of things lately.
