Creative Cloud : what about the resellers?

Hi,
I'm surprised that nobody (and Adobe in the first place) has a word for all these resellers (I'm not one of them) who distributed their boxes around the world, helping them make their products successful. Before, they call them their partners. Now we know what partnership means for Adobe and how they reward both reseller and customer loyalty.

I work for one of Adobe's channel "partners," and we are selling Creative Cloud to our clients, at least to those that are willing to make the jump at the moment. We are also selling CS6 licenses, and will be able to continue to do so, from what Adobe have said, for the foreseeable future.
Personally, Adobe will not see another penny from me while I can still run CS5/6, and given that my OS is Win7 Pro 64bit, that probably means 20yrs or so! LOL! I don't make a living from Photoshop, and never upgraded on every release, so the increased cost is simply out of the question, plus I find the subscription model Adobe have come up with, stop paying and you got nuthin', completely unacceptable.
For my professional clients, CC has definite advantages and I have no qualms recommending it, plus, let's face it, it's a fait accompli, they will get on-board, either now or in the future, for someone like me, it doesn't make sense. Adobe have decided that from a business perspective, people like me don't matter... thanks guys, it's been fun.

  • Creative cloud - what are the benefits?

    I must be stupid, because no one else needed to ask this question ...
    But what is the point of Creative Cloud if I already own everything in CS6 plus Acrobat XI Pro?
    Seems that for $30/month all I would get is automatic updating.  Wait, I already get that.

    What planet are you on?
    Spend a little time looking through the posts on this section of the forum and others and you will soon learn that the Cloud is it, nothing else, you subscribe forever, the software stops working when you cease to pay, its full of bugs
    With CS6 you have a perpetual license and will be able to use the software as long as you have a PC or Mac that can run it, so what more do you want.
    If you move to the CC you need to seek medical help, the CC is for idiots only.
    So many users of the CC are so thick that they cannot see that the cost of the CC version is way more than a CS upgrade from version X to version Y.
    CC is for new users only, a seemingly cheap way to get and use the software, but for seasoned users Adobe just does not give a damn.
    At least there are alternatives for the applications I use and it is there where my cash is going.
    Stick with CS6 as long as you can, think about how much you can save saying with CS6,

  • When i download adobe creative cloud,it said the error code is 201.what does it mean??

    when i download adobe creative cloud,it said the error code is 201.what does it mean??

    Error 201 indicates that the download of the installation files was unable to be resumed successfully.  I would recommend utilizing a different Internet connection.  If you are connected via WiFi try a wired connection.  If you are connected via a wired connection then please try a different cable
    Please refer to Error downloading Creative Cloud applications
    Hope this helps you.

  • What happens to my files on creative cloud folder after the end of my subscription?

    What happens to my files on creative cloud folder after the end of my subscription?

    Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud / Common Questions
    "What happens to my files in the cloud if I cancel or downgrade my membership?
    Your Creative Cloud files are stored on your desktop as well as on the Creative Cloud servers. If you cancel or downgrade your paid membership, you will still have access to all of the files in the Creative Cloud folder on your computer and via the Creative Cloud website.
    Your account will be downgraded to a free membership, which includes 2GB of storage. If you’re using more than 2GB of storage, you will not be able to upload any new files to the cloud until the amount of online space used in your account drops below your allotted amount.
    If you are over your storage limit, you have 90 days to reduce your online usage or you may lose access to some or all of your files saved on the Creative Cloud servers."

    And will the thievs be able to purchase things from itunes or adobe with my cardinfo? I have a password who comes up overtime i download anything, but i never used itunes on buying things. I just registred there.

    What is iCloud, and did you ask Apple about their "I" product? (The Cloud is not iCloud, whatever that may be)

    What happened yesterday may have been caused by the SOPA protest action that was joined by a lot of sites yesterday and such an action won't happen that often.
