I bought CS5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) 3 years ago. Now, I want to upgrade, but where can I find prices for students and teachers for upgrades?
There is no upgrade for the editions for teachers and students. You can continue to use the version you use, or you can buy CS6 with no upgrade price, or subscribe to creative cloud. However, I believe that if you are still eligible, you are offered a discount on creative cloud.

I currently have Adobe CS5.5 Design Standard installed on my work PC (I own my own design and printing company) and now I want to upgrade to Adobe CC 2015. I read on the forums that you can install programs on 2 PC and be able to work on both (but not simultaneously) with 1 business license. Is this possible? I would like to be able to design at work and at home.
Yes, you are allowed to have the software enabled on both machines (you can install on as many as you want) but can have only one of them using the subscription at the same time.

Character animation: you can import a video for motion capture?
I use at present the trial runs for AE 7 day and I'm looking to register to continue using it and one of the highlights is the new character animation program. Can someone answer please the following please?
You can import a video for motion capture?
Character animator doesn't seem to like my beard, the capture is unable to find the edge of my face, so he moves, causing the character to jump on. Is it possible to import a video for motion capture to work off of, instead of a live animal capture?
This user publishes its results best for beard of follow-up with the face tracking feature, in the CA application: face Tracker errors beard for mouth open then maybe you should try face tracking in Ae... Another option would be to put some markers to track old school on those hard to deal with the characteristics of the track on the face (if it's a beard (maybe a green round sticker?) follow them and connect to the face tracker, and then import them from CA.
or just get a friend shaved to make this webcam for you!

I can not install updates for photoshop and the product is registered and properly installed
I can not install updates for photoshop and the product is registered and properly installed cat. I tried and they were worthless, this system I get when I click on the button in the error message customer support https://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/error-serial-number-qualifying-product.html
Customer chat was worthless, and I am really frustrated.
You can download and install updates,
Adobe - Photoshop: For Windows: Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 updated for Adobe Photoshop CS5
http://www.Adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5373
But if you have a complaint about your serial number, chances are that they thought that it was hacked and blacklisted. You can't be at fault, you simply a forgery.
Nothing can be done if this is the case.

Hello
You can directly download the CC applications and authenticate with my adobe cloud identification information without using the desktop application? whenever I have try with the desktop app it says impossible to arrive on the same adobe servers when I'm connected to the Internet and I don't have any active anti-virus software?
Thank you
No application of cc, no clouds. It's the simple truth here. Programs cannot operate without him, since he controls the installation and licensing. the rest, we do not know, since you have not provided any useful technical information. Start by reading this (yet?):
What also good technical details are necessary.
