Can I run my registered LR 5 alongside monthly deal for Photoshop CC ?, Can I run my registered LR 5 alongside monthly deal for Photoshop CC ?

probably a dumb question ..apologies if it is, I have registered LR5 and am currently running the CC trials of LR5 and Photoshoop on my new
mac - I'm trying to work out cheapest long-term solution to having both programmes, seems a bit wasteful to pay the monthly subscrioption
any help or opinions welcome thanks in advance

If you decide on Photoshop CC then you won't save any money trying to stay with your standalone version of Lightroom 5. Photoshop CC and Lightroom are offered together as a creative cloud package. There isn't a package that just offers Photoshop. So I'm not sure what you will accomplish by subscribing to Photoshop CC and then staying with your registered version of Lightroom. I don't know what complications you might run into. When I switched to the creative cloud subscription plan I replaced Lightroom 5 that I had been using. The programs are exactly the same. It's just a difference in licensing.
Photoshop CC has some nice features that you will not be able to get if you purchase Photoshop CS6. In the long run, it might seem that you will be saving money by purchasing standalone licenses. But eventually those versions will be obsolete, no longer supported by Adobe, and you will have no ability to update them other than to purchase upgrade versions. I decided it was easier to spend $10/month because I'm retired and it's easier to budget that amount than to come up with the money to purchase upgrades when they are needed. But that is something you will have to decide for yourself.
