While I can't take this software off your hands, it brought to mind some
info I've been meaning to share about donations of software.

Many of those large, for-profit software companies have corporate
contributions offices.  If you are a 501 (c) (3), many of the companies
will donate software. Call the corporate offices and ask for guidelines to
apply for software donations.  I had very good luck with this over the
summer.  If they don't donate they might sell to you at an educational
discount, which seems to be a great savings over retail.

Perhaps Adobe could help you out by switching software platforms for you?
Good luck.
