Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers

Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.

Eugene:
  Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
Yes, you can do that.
If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200.

    I just installed adobe creative cloud and Adobe Bridge. When I try to open a image in camera raw I get an error "Bridges parent application is not active" "Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched atleast once to enable this feature"

    Have you opened Photoshop? (I think that is a "parent" application)

  • Icons for both Creative Cloud and Adobe show up in my menu bar.

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone can help with this.  I am running Creative Cloud and have been for a year or so on my Mac Pro (10.8.5).  Recently (as in a few months ago) the icons for both Creative Cloud (the infinity/cloud symbol) and Adobe Updater (the stylized A) have been showing up in my menu bar.  Both indicate if there are apps to update and both open Creative Cloud if I click on them (or in Updater go to update apps).  Not a big deal, but I already have enough stuff in my menu bar and I was wondering if there was a way to stop having both show up.  Thanks.

    I know this is an old post but just in case anyone else finds this via a popular search engine (like I did), you can follow the instructions here:

    That seemed to do the trick for me.

  • I have adobe creative cloud and adobe revel premium accounts/works....to completely sign in to my revel account, i need to find the SERIAL NUMBER for the account....where and how can i learn this number--my mobile device is an HTC One (M8). Android by AT&

    here I begin, whenever we can get help?....

    Revel does not require a serial number only your Adobe ID and password. If you are having problems locating a serial number for your Creative Cloud subscription you will need to contact Adobe Customer Support.

  • When reinstalling creative cloud and adobe products i only get the ''try'' button.

    Hi i have a problem in my creative cloud. About 3 months ago i purchased the creative cloud collection and 4 days ago i reinstalled windows so my pc would be faster again but when i wanted to reinstall my creative cloud products it gives me only the ''try'' option. I cannot install the lincensed product which i have paid for and when i try to re-redeem the activation code it say it has already been redeemed.
    Does this mean i have lost CC and have to purchase it again? i sure would be upset then.

  • How to change email in adobe creative cloud and adobe account

    i have two email that one of that no longer use . to download a trial must download a adobe creative cloud right ? but i cant sign in because of i forget my old email password . in my adobe account i put a different email . so please help me

    Hi there,
         Once you launch Creative Cloud Desktop Application, select the Gear icon which is located on the top right side of the CC Window and choose 'Preferences'. Under 'Preferences' click on 'Account' tab where you will see 'Sign out' button. Once you click on this button, it Signs out from all the Creative Cloud applications.
    The other simple solution is: Once you launch any Adobe Creative Cloud application like Photoshop or Indesign, choose "Help" > Signout. Even this step will deactivates all the other CC applications.
    Later, when you launch any application, it would say that it is running in trial version and will prompt you to enter your credentials.

    1. If you wish to install PS and Ai CC you can install the Creative Cloud app and install both of them.

  • I downloaded a free trial version of creative cloud and adobe illustrator but cant find the clipart

  • How do I get my creative cloud and adobe photoshop to not have such tiny icons?

    Screen shot for reference.

    Hi Ben,
    Thank you for your post.
    I believe icons size is correct because this is as design. You can compare this with other system as well. It is depending upon the windows resolution. Please try changing the windows resolutions.
    Change your screen resolution
    Also, if you click on Apps tab, you should see the bigger size of icon.

  • My new apps have changed to try within creative cloud; and my installed apps will not authenticate.  I recently canceled one subscription and replaced it with another.

    My new apps have changed to try within creative cloud; and my installed apps will not authenticate.  I recently canceled one subscription and replaced it with another.  Can you please look at it and correct?

    Solution for Windows 8.1: Locate the C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE folder.  Log out of Creative Cloud and from Task Manager end task for Creative Cloud.  From the OOBE folder delete ALL files.  Do not delete folders (com.adobe.accc.apps & com.adobe.accc.home).  When complete, restart Creative Cloud and log in with ID and Password.

  • Adobe creative cloud and CS6 Illustrator download was a disaster

    After downloading Adobe creative cloud and CS6 Illustrator my system wwent into crash mode with one error after another. Had no less than 4 blue screens of death (BSOD) and I had to do restore but lost most of my files and cannnot get them back. What say you? I unistalled any leftover CC and CS6 illustrator thereafter.

    We can't know. You have not provided any relevant technical info like system specs and the actual crash logs. just saying that it crashes is pretty useless.
