Do Excelsior students qualify to buy student software?

[Scholar Interrupted]

I'm a new Excelsior enrollee. I'm afraid to walk into a local college bookstore and try to buy software with an ID that doesn't even have my name or ID number, let alone a picture, on it. I also note that legitimate online stores require either online validation (which Excelsior apparently doesn't do) or mailing in a copy of a student ID -- which, again, doesn't have anything on it that identifies me. The Excelsior online store doesn't sell software.

Has anyone successfully purchased student versions of software with an Excelsior ID?
