Can't understand Creative Cloud subscription

I can't understand what subscribing for Creative Cloud means, and it's very hard to find the answers on the Adobe website.
(1) What does the "requires annual commitment" option mean? Does it mean that I have to pay that monthly price for at least one year? If it does means that, am I free to cancel at any time after that year is up?
(2) Is the price on offer (£8.78 including VAT in the UK) just a special offer starter price or is that the ongoing level of pricing and for how long? If the price is likely to go up in time, is that likely to be more or less in line with general price inflation, or am I going to be stung after some initial period with a massive price increase? If I felt that I could no longer afford the subscription would I then be left with PSD files etc that I could no longer access?

Can't purchase Creative Cloud subscription

I have been trying to purchase a Creative Cloud subscription for the last few days and it does not work. I've tried different browsers, different devices and even calling adobe sales and it still doesn't work.
Anyone else having issues?
You'd think it be easier to spend money!
Please help.

Hi Dave,
Yes, I used this card to buy my Adobe Master Collection 5.5 earlier this year, and use it regularly for debit and credit transactions. I purchased and downloaded an e-book yesterday on this card.
I also borrowed a friends card to make the purchase, as suggested by an Adobe rep. The card was from a different lending institution, and that Creative Cloud transaction was never completed by Adobe either.
I've called my bank on two occasions. On the first call the reps told me they saw eight attempts made last month. About 4 of those were my tries, and another 4 attempts were made by an Adobe rep while I was on the phone with them. My bank rep could see that there were eight $1.00 "holds" that went through via Adobe's purchasing system, but it appears that the system never made the second attept to finalize the purchase. I attempted several more times with no success. I called my bank again to see if there were any blocks or security holds on my account, and was assured me that none existed, and that the transactions were ready for clearance on my banks end.
Hope this is useful info.
Many thanks for your time and attention.

Can I purchase Creative Cloud subscriptions for longer than one year at a time?

I work in the design department of a large business, currently using Creative Suite 6 (Design Standard edition, which includes PS and AI).
I'd like to get the some of the new CC features, but my manager won't commit to a turnkey month-to-month or even annual rental of Creative Cloud apps (it's a pain for our department's purchaser to have to do orders more than once a year). That said, if they could take care of, say, two years at once, I might get the software. Is this an option? I'm one of only a few folks who use Adobe software (it's not a design business; we're just part of a small design department, and all software purchases need to go through this person, after which they're reimbursed). I'm not interested in any of the extra storage or central administration options that come with the higher priced business subscription.
Thanks!

Are there any unique benefits that come with my paid membership?
Yes, as a member of Creative Cloud, you get many benefits that you do not get when you purchase a traditional shrinkwrapped product:
Access to both the Mac OS and Windows® versions of the desktop applications and the ability to install them on your primary computer and one backup computer. So, if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, you can install your applications on both as long as they are not running at the same time. See the product license agreements page for more information.

Can I transfer my Creative Cloud subscription to another Adobe account?

Hello,
How do I transfer my account to another email address that already has an Adobe account? We are a business and have a Creative Cloud subscription setup to a specific email address. We want to transfer this license to another employee as the existing one was laid off. How do we go about doing this?
Thanks!

Hi JimmytheBullet,
If you are a Creative Cloud for Team user then you can simply remove the user from Admin console and invite another to be the team member. If it is Creative Cloud individual subscription then I am sorry to say but you cannot transfer the account to another.
regards,
Abhijit

Can I use my Creative Cloud subscription between a PC and a Mac?

The questions is pretty much that. I have a PC and a Mac laptop. I'd like to be able to switch between the two depending on where I am. Is this an option, as long as I have the programs / trial installed on both machines?

Yes you can install the software on MAC and PC both, with creative cloud subscription you will get 2 activation and work simultaneously on both the machines.

How many PCs can I use with one Creative Cloud subscription?

How many PCs can I use with one Creative Cloud subscription? For example I currently use Lightroom on a home PC with 2 large screens, but use a laptop or iPad when travelling. Does one monthly subscription cover all 3 or do I need 3 separate subscriptions ?

You are welcome!
P.S. when using the adobe forums, please mark helpful/correct responses of Staff or helper, if there are any.

HI, How many computers can be installed Creative Cloud, if I have a subscription to "Creative cloud for photographer"?
Problem: I can not use my Adobe account, for install Creative cloud (PS & Lr), on the second computer. Creative Cloud offers me to buy Ps CC & Lr. But only if you start Ps programm ask me to enter the key, Lr is started without the key requirements.
No message that limit exceeded usage.

Start by signing out and back in to see if it will see the subscription:

I have got Indesign CS6 (Creative Cloud subscription) but I also need Indesign CS5.5. Can I buy it?

I have got Indesign CS6 (Creative Cloud subscription) but I also need Indesign CS5.5. Can I buy it?

Adobe CS 5.5 is not available for sale from any reliable source, including Adobe.
If you see offers for the product on other websites, BEWARE! It's highly likely that they are bogus software, which is not legally obtained or licensed.

Can't Activate my Creative Cloud Subscription -- SERIOUS HELP NEEDED!!!

For the past 3 weeks, I've been trying to activate my Creative Cloud subscription (placed my Creative Cloud order on 12/29/12). Like others, it appears that I’m trapped in perpetual "trial mode" status. When I try to activate my subscription -- I click the “register product” button…sign into my Adobe ID account…and receive a prompt to enter a serial number. Every time. I’ve litterally read every post/link/tutorial/troubleshooting selfhelp in this forum and on the Adobe FAQ pages - with great attention, might I add - but nothing seems to work.
I've spent hours upon hours on the phone/live chat w/ Adobe reps trying to resolve this issue. I've opened no less than 10 support cases. EVERY SINGLE TIME that I try to activate my Creative Cloud membership, an Adobe rep feeds me the "I'll be sure to escalate this issue to the next level of support" line. Likewise, Adobe support reps stated numerous times, that personnel from Adobe would contact me within 24 hours of my call to resolve the issue. However, they’ve yet to follow through with this claim. (Surprise)
Adobe should be ashamed by the egregious performance of their "technical support team.” If Adobe won't fix the software, which they've already charged me for, then they've left me w/ little choice but to cancel my order before the initial 30 day period is up. Enough is enough.
With that being said, Adobe, the following describes this dismal experience:
I bought a subscription of Creative Cloud on 12/29/12 (somehow I ended up w/ the Multi Language edition of Creative Cloud- yes I've fiddled w/ the language settings in the app manager. Doesn't work.)
I received an order verification email from Adobe for my purchase, however, the order was never listed under the "my recent order" section of my Adobe ID
Despite telling Adobe support that I only had one Adobe ID, they insisted that my order was showing up in their system, of which, was accessible by logging into my alternative Adobe ID (this didn’t exist because I only have one Adobe ID).
Eventually, Adobe determined that a system error occurred on their side while processing the transaction, and fixed this initial issue.
After this was resolved, I was able to login to my Adobe ID account and actually see my Creative Cloud membership order when viewing “my recent transactions.”
After all of that, I'm facing my 2nd major issue w/ this program: the inability to activate my subscription. As previously stated, I've tried everything to fix this issue. I'm thinking that the initial problem w/ placing the order resulted in defective software. Also, I’m not sure if this info is relevant, but I purchased the multiple language edition of Creative Cloud (somehow). I live in the US, speak English, and am running OS X 10.8.2.
Someone from Adobe, please look into this issue and help me. I’ll be glad to provide any other relevant info that you may need.

Had the exact same problem, just got it fixed. The solution is quite fast. Navigate to the hosts file. On a pc it's in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder, locate the file named 'Hosts' inside the etc folder. Open it with notepad. Delete everything underneath
" # Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost"
Save. Open the application manager again, click "License this product" and sign in. It should work, now.

Renewed Creative Cloud subscription, and yet can't use applications, as trials have expired?

I recently renewed my full year Creative Cloud subscription through my school, and yet, my applications refuse to open, saying that my trials have expired. I use PS for school and work, and am really aggravated with this problem.

The Email is different one, I have mentioned the Email ID as well as the date of redemption (17th September 2014) in a mail.
The CC has not yet been activated. Please respond to my Email.

Thanks.

It is five, but there is no email offered with these sites. You must upgrade to (paid) basic "+" to have email.
