Are there planned price increases for renewal of creative cloud subscription

My renewal for creative cloud is pending.Are there price increases planned for creative cloud single app renewal?

I should have wrote, "I am better off, purchasing the Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium at $1899.00 and upgrading every 2 years at a cost of $375."
So....
Let's do some basic arithmatic
CC Suite is $49.99 x 12 = $599.98 per year || $1199.76 / 2 years || $1799.74 / 3 years || $2399.72 / 4 years || $2999.70 / 5 years || $3599.68
When you compare to purchasing the Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium at $1899.00 and then upgrading every 2 years at a cost of $375, it only takes 4.5 years before the CC subscription begins to surpass the 'owning' the product license model. Of course, the Adobe finance people know this very well and that is why the subscription model is absolutely adored!
My graph clearly illustrates this... hopefully I don't annoy the Adobe people with this... not my intention.
I am rounding values and not taking into account regional price differences nor am I accounting for price increases.
I should add that at a subscription rate of $29.99 per month, Adobe still stands to make significantly more money, over the long term... but the mid-point is just over 9 years, rather than 4.5 years and that is a more palatable proposition... I am guessing... for most of us.
Adobe, don't be greedy!

  • Are there any training seminars included with a creative cloud subscription?

    Hello,
    I am looking for training with the creative cloud. Are there any seminars that go along with my subscription? I'm not talking about simple training videos - I need full training for my employees. Perhaps an online seminar?
    Thanks!

  • I do not want Creative Cloud. My current version of Lightroom is 5.7. I take it I have to buy Lightroom 6 outright? Are there any price concessions for upgrades?

    I do not want Creative Cloud. My current version of Lightroom is 5.7. Are there any price concessions for upgrades or do I have to buy Lightroom 6 outright?

    @landaloons who posted: "Clicking 'Checkout' does nothing.  There is apparently no way to get the upgrade at present."
    Your browser has to have tracking enabled and open a pop-up for Checkout to work. Browser add-ons and custom settings can block this from happening.  In Firefox I had to temporarily disable Ghostery to advance past the Checkout button. You may have a similar tracker/pop-up disabler in your browser that you need to turn off temporarily. Alternatively try a different browser with no custom settings. Doing this I was able to download and install a $79.99 upgrade version, so it does work, but they don't make it easy to find or do. They want you to subscribe instead. (In fairness, though, you'd have this same Checkout issue trying to subscribe to CC if your browser settings block advancement past the Checkout button.)

  • I currently have Lightroom 4 installed. Do I qualify for the discounted Creative Cloud subscription?

    I currently have Lightroom 4 installed. Do I qualify for the discounted Creative Cloud subscription?

    I have been given conflicting information from Adobe on this question.  The forums and FAQS all said that  you can install concerrently then uninstall when all is OK with the CC install.  I decided to install the CC versions then uninstall the previously installed versions on my hard drive.  The CC versions did NOT install if you have a current version installed.  I called Support and was told to uninstall LR then install LR CC again.  Guess what, no matter what I do, CC manager still thinks LR CC is installed even though there are NO files on my HD and I can not install it from CC again.  There is no FAQ or workaround posted on this website to resolve this.  Now I have NO LR.
    I learned a lesson...do not believe what you read on support websites or what you are told on the support phone line.  So...You can NOT install them back to back.  If you have LR previously installed before installing CC, then you download and install LR CC, it will NOT install the CC version if it finds a current version on your PC.  So either keep what you have OR backup your current stuff and uninstall the current apps.  Make sure that you are signed out of CC on the website AND on your CC desktop app.  Reboot then sign in to your desktop CC app again, then download all your apps only after the CC manager does not have them listed at the top as currently installed apps, only on the apps to install list.

  • When I try to launch an adobe application I am prompted to renew my creative cloud subscription even though I'm paid up until the end of the year.

    When I try to launch an adobe application I am prompted to renew my creative cloud subscription... even though I'm pre-paid up until the end of the year. I can't use any of my applications at the moment.

    Another update: The one month free trial software is no longer working for me as a work-around.
    Also: I tried to open up my Adobe applications from two other machines that I have in the house, but it did not work. I received the same subscription renewal popup loop. This leads me to the conclusion that it is strictly an issue on the Adobe Licensing Server side, and NOT a localized issue with something wrong on my system.

  • Trial period has expired for legit CS6 Creative Cloud subscription??

    Last night Adobe Application Manager upgraded itself.  All well and good.  It showed correctly what CS6 apps I had downloaded and installed previously.
    I am a CS6 Creative Cloud subscriber with nine months to go.
    Subsequently when I tried to start Dreamweaver or for that matter any other creative CS6 application, like Photoshop - I get the following error:
    Your trial period has expired!
    I have been using all installed Creative Cloude appd for the last 3-4 months with no problems!  Why this now??
    StellaC

    The creative cloud subscription is fine but the whole 'license expired' license this software, you have 5 days left of your trial or 'please enter your serial number' (what serial number for the cloud ??) that seems to pop up at alarming rate on both of my machines.
    As soon as I re-log on with my adobe id (which never seems to be logged in however many times I log in and say 'remember') it then 'activates' my subscription .. but never remembers by the afternoon!
    The whole thing is just not very slick. It is not very impressive that every two or three days I have to keep re-activating etc the subscription to the cloud, sometimes it takes quite a few run arounds with the logon before it finally says ... 'yes, you are activated / subscribed etc or whatever'.
    Surely with creative cloud, perhaps the applications could be re-written to realize that there is a creative cloud and that the person using the app is not requiring to buy the product or stop using the trial etc. I wonder is this happening all the time for all the users of the cloud ??
    I can understand the cloud / Adobe need to check that the person is running a legit version but it is not going to leave a good impression with all the users if dialogs pop up all the time with odd messages saying about trial versions or 4 days left of your trial.
    Just a simple dialog ... if a cloud member, 'please connect to the web to check activation etc'... and then allow the user to continue with the product.

  • Download link missing for LR 5 Creative Cloud subscription

    I received and successfully activated the link for Photoshop's monthly subscription program. It was supposed to also include LR5, but didn't. How do I get the link? It's almost impossible to get through to Adobe support.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have since found different system requirements shown on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html  This one shows that OS 10.7 is required.  Nice that the system requirements shown on the purchasing page are lower than shown on other pages. 

  • How can I install and use my purschased CD of cs6, without renewing my Creative Cloud subscription?

    I previously had a CS6 subscription through the cloud but after my year subscription was up, I decided to purchase the CD and install because I didn't like the idea of not being able to access my files without monthly payments. After I uninstalled the programs from my subscription, I installed my purchased disc of CS6 and when I went to open InDesign, an expiration message pops up telling me to renew my subscription? How can I get rid of that message and use my product?

    make sure cc desktop app is uninstalled and then run the cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    after your system is cleared of cc apps, open a cs6 app > click help > click activate and use your serial number.

  • What happens if you cancel a creative cloud subscription but are still getting charged?

    Last month we requested to cancel our original adobe creative cloud subscription (had 3 seats) and move these 3 seats to a new company creative cloud subscription.
    We contacted customer support and explained that we wanted this subscription cancelled. They said via chat that it was cancelled but we have seen automatic invoices stating a payment for September had gone through on our credit card to pay for the original creative cloud subscription.
    How do we go about cancelling this original subscription all together so this doesn't happen?

    The last charge was on September 9th 2014 for order # AD002776386NZ, Please confirm the date of cancellation requested via private messaging, I can follow up the case.
    Please respond to private message sent to you.

  • CO88-Error :Perform the planned price change for material

    Hi Experts,
    While running CO88 i get this error. "Perform the planned price change for material ". My material is manage at S and it doesn't have any marked cost. The status is FR and no other status on cost etimate for the article are active. what i shoul do? why if i run the PP order with KO88 i don't have any error?
    Please help i'm facing the closing period.

    Hi,
    If dynamic price change is active in your system the first posting in the new period of this material tries to
    - release a future cost estimate of that period OR
    - change the price to the future price in accounting view
       (if the future price date is reached)
    Unfortunately this dynamic price change does not work in order settlement. Therefore you are asked to perform the price change first by t-code CKME (or CK24).
    If you are using price determination control 3, any price change or release should always be the first transaction in a new period to avoid any inconsistencies.
    The dynamic price release will only release the price with transactions which involve material movement and this is not the case by posting invoices and order settlements.
    if you are in period 12/2009 then a settlement in 12/2009 does not require the release cost estimate of 01/2010.
    But if you are already in 01/2010 therefore settlement in 12/2009 is a posting into the previous period. This will change also data of the current period. Therefore the cost estimate has to be released first.
    Another option, if you don't want to receive this message, would be to change this message from Error to Warning (check note 434752).
    Please follow the following steps:
    T-CD:OMRM
    Message M8 394
    =>you set the message type to '-' for error message M8394, that means no message is to be issued.
    regards
