Cheaper DPS pricing?

Less expensive than Enterprise edtion, DPS Professional Edition came out in April 8. It's been said since then that Adobe is working on a third version: a less price-abusive one, oriented to freelancers and small businesses who also want a prescense in the new digital universe, but can not afford to pay $6000 (or more) a year to go online.
Any light on when?
Thank you in advance.

Really? an Agency model? Would you please send some info: I could only find the first two models at the DPS website (Enterprise and Professional). And a cut price for a cheaper version, it makes sence what you say, but I don't think small business would be much interested in the selling or analytics part of DPS. All we want is a chapest way to make our digital content live and accesible to our customers. Plain and simple... and price-reasonable.

Can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat?

Hello, and good evening from Athens, Greece.
I would like to ask a question concerning my CC membership.
I’ve started 1 and a half year ago by paying 29,99 € for the entire CC (all programs). Now, it’s 49,99 € and I’m having a really difficult time to keep it this way. I’m living in a country which is in the middle of crisis and my profession as a graphic designer, is not an exception to reduced spendings on advertising.
My question is, can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat? I don’t need for now the other apps. Can I have a membership plan only for those applications? I would very much appreciate your respond, a help and a solution to my issue.
Thank you very much.
Michael.
P.S. Forgot to tell, that I have a purchased Design Standard CS3 Suite. If this helps.

Question about DPS Pricing

wwhat's the cost for dps? I thought there was just a monthly fee per month you pay eg 500$. what is this thinv about paying depended on how small or big your company is, I don't think that should be the case as it's the same service each customer whether your magazine have a subscription base of a 100000 or 1000, should it?
also about this cost per download, what is the cost and why is there a cost? If there is a cost then what will happen if I get 1000 download per month

Branched to a new discussion.

Adobe DPS Pricing

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to see if anyone could clarify some things for me on the DPS pricing, I'm set to launch my 1 time digital magazine so in doing this I must pay the $495 platform fee plus choose which .folio download option I want, my question is what happens if I purchase the 10,000 folio option but by magazine is only downloaded 5,000 times, what happens to the exta .folios? Thanks.

No problem! It's nice to have unlimited downloads without fees (Except of course the 30% cut that Apple takes...)
As for the time it takes for Apple to approve does vary a little bit. Usually it takes 6-7 days (I've never had an app approved less than 6 days), yet sometimes it can take 12-14 days depending on the amount of apps they are reviewing, the content you supply for the app, etc. There are at least 50 different factors that could go into their decision making and amount of time spent on reviewing your app. Keep in mind that if your app gets rejected, it can take longer as you then have to fix the "mistakes" and resubmit. Sometimes I've had that happen and I've had it take another 6-7 days before it would finally get approved. I had one multi-issue viewer app that took 5 weeks before it was finally approved.
I don't mean to scare you -- I just want to make you prepared for the monster called Apple and how their dictatorial style of app regulation can affect your app release date significantly!
I hope that helped! Feel free to ask any questions you need. I'm happy to answer them in any way I can.
Best Wishes,
Alex Rullo

DPS Pricing: Am I screwing anything up?

Hey all. I hate to find myself in short-term bugaboos here, but I'm trying to dissect Adobe's pricing model and make sure I communicate it correctly, lest my small agency venture into the territory of "unforseen hard costs".
We are looking to use the DPS platform to build an iPad based cookbook for a client. Pretty cut and dry. No subscriptions, gating, e-commerce or anything that might be construed as non-standard.
As I understand it, this is a single-use folio. Because we have a paid team subscription through the Creative Cloud, we will not incur any additional costs from Adobe to create our cookbook single-use folio in InDesign and publish it as an app.
We will incur a $99/year fee from Apple to register as a developer. Once we've undergone the lengthy approval process, we will then be able to have our published cookbook app distributed through the Apple App store. Because this is a single-use folio (i.e., there are no instances of multiple issues a la a Conde Nast magazine). If 100,000 people download this app, no additional fees are incurred.
Am I missing anything here? It seems like it's pretty simple - I'm just concerned about unanticipated surprises. Do I understand this pricing model correctly?
Thanks!
Neil

You're right that you can submit lots of apps but incorrect about keeping the app in the App Store after you cancel your iOS dev subscription.
https://developer.apple.com/support/ios/program-renewals.html
What happens if I do not renew my membership?
If your iOS Developer Program membership expires, your apps will no longer be available on the App Store and you will not be able to submit new apps or updates. You will lose access to pre-release software, the Apple Developer Forums, the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, and Technical Support Incidents. However, you will still have access to iTunes Connect and free development resources.
2 - No extra fees from Adobe for Single Edition apps.

DPS pricing/per download

Hi there, we are going to publish a weekly digital magazine for Apple/Android devices. We expect around 8-10.000 downloads of our app. But we are a little confused about the pricing per download. Do we pay every time somebody downloads the app or every time someone downloads one of our weekly issues?
Thanks

Downloads of the app are irrelevant, only the folio downloads are
counted by Adobe.

Hello. I began with the DPS. Is it possible to publish a magazine for a limited, specific target group? For example, in one department of a large company? Or to the responsible for various services? If so, how should I do? Thank you for your help.

Is DPS or app publication included with Indesign CC (singe app subscription) ?

So the question is: can I subscribe to Indesign CC and use this to publish a free magazine in the app store or google market? Is the publishing process free when you have an Indesign CC subscription?

The DPS Professional and Single Edition SKUs are no longer available to new customers. If you already purchased single edition license then you can update the existing app or build new DPS app only for ipad.
If you want to create app for Google and windows then purchase DPS enterprise edition.

DPS Question for Master Collection Owners

I own the Master Collection and am not interested in subscribing to the Creative Cloud at this time.
My educational institution has a much easier time fiscally in one-time outlays (licenses) rather than monthly (continuing) subscription models.
For this reason I am interested in DPS however not in the Creative Cloud.
I have been having a bear of a time finding out any information regarding non-Creative Cloud DPS pricing.
I sense a real push from Adobe to the Creative Cloud where DPS is concerned.
I am interested in leveraging DPS in a classroom setting with approximately 40 computers, all licensed with at least Web and Design Premium.
If possible, I would be grateful for pricing for the Professional and Enterprise licenses for DPS.
Additionally, if anyone could explain the differences, along with costs for uploading apps for review and distribution by Apple, this would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance for any assistance, either from kind and knowledgeable forum readers, or Adobe staff-
Timothy

Thanks Bob for your swift reply. I greatly appreciate the ability to correspond related to my query.
The goal is to teach students to integrate the Creative Suite CS6 (in this case, primarily Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign/Incopy) and Lightroom4, into a convergent newsroom environment, with final portfolio in the DPS.
We are designing a curriculum where the final project for students will be a student-created magazine/journal to be distributed via the appstore for alumni outreach.
We have a campus site license with Adobe however our IT staff have no information on DPS, or at least they are unaware of it at this time.
Currently I am working on writing a grant with a deadline of next week, Friday January 25. I want to include costs for licensing of DPS for Education, however I have requirements to adhere to.
In particular, I am not permitted to allocate monthly subscriptions into a grant of this type, rather, the licensing costs must be based on 1-time outlays.
If there were additional charges necessary to upload a finished magazine, that would be fine, but monthly charges (ie subscriptions) would not be possible.
Thank you again Bob. I have attempted to contact Adobe Education via this forum and email however it remains (now, and in the past) challenging for me to actually speak with someone.
Cordially with appreciation for your expertise, and willingness to share your perspective-
Timothy

How will the scheduled changes in DPS affect Creative Cloud Subscribers effective May 01, 2015?

I would think that with Adobe's public announcement to retire DPS SE, the company would have the courtesy to inform its Creative Cloud subscribers, who seemingly will be affected, of the impact the change will have on them. I am calling on Adobe to address its customers concerns without further delay.

Here are two threads to look at:
The end of DPS Single Edition
What is going on with DPS?
Single Edition, SE, apps are available to CC members until 1 May 2015. These apps will remain on the App store but will be unable to be updated after 1 May 2015. That means they will not run on any new version of iOS.
There is now one DPS license. Pricing is done on a per client basis. Click the request for consultation link in Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS pricing options to receive a price estimate for your projects.
The alternatives to using DPS are using a competing product (outlined in the threads above), using a tool such as PhoneGap (html5, css, javascript hybrid app) or Appcelerator Titanium (native development), learn/hire/contract a developer for native development, and fixed-layout epub.
Others have suggested partnering with someone who was a top tier license to continue to keep your apps current.

How can we use Adobe's Digital Publishing Suite given this scenario

I have a question regarding a very specific scenario as it applies to Adobe Digital Publishing that I am having trouble finding an answer to.
We are a small design firm that produces small-run, proprietary-information, official documents.
Each document is branded to one of our clients, but each document title's design is entirely unique even when done for the same client.
Our clients then selectively distribute these documents to a small number (max 200) of their propective clients (NO GENERAL DISTRIBUTION -- NO APP STORE or iTUNES -- NO CHARGE).
It would be nice that each of our clients could have a branded Adobe Viewer with which their selected prospective clients could view only those documents sent to them (PUSHED); NOT everyone with a client-branded Adobe Viewer would be PUSHED the same document.
And similar to the documents being PUSHED to only specific prospective clients of our clients, that our client could subsequently PULL / delete a document from the prospective client's viewer when the document has expired (besides being promotional documents, they are legal as well, and when expired, need to be withdrawn from readership).
So, how is something like this done? What Adobe DPS pricing plan applies?
Would it be a Single plan, but for each client branded viewer? The Professional and Enterprise pricing setup is excessive given our extremely small scale of extremely specific directed distribution for no revenue from that distribution.
Please help me understand, since I cannot find such an answer online.
Thank you.
Mark

If I understand you correctly, you would need an Enterprise level account for that.

Virus protection for my macbook pro

Does anybody know of a good Virus protection for my macbook pro? Some people say i dont need one is that true? I was hoping to get a cheap/reasonable priced protection for a lil extra help. Im worried about my laptop getting a virus.

Thomas A Reed wrote:
sigh. Discussions about anti-virus software here are a hot-button topic, and often cause virtual fistfights. Not your fault, of course, but now there's a lot of confusing information being thrown back and forth here. Let me try to clear the air a bit.
First, regarding ClamXav, Kappy's link is fine, but I would refer you straight to the official ClamXav site rather than the MacUpdate page:
http://www.clamxav.com
There is another ClamXav site, ending in .org, that is fake. It's not related to the actual ClamXav. Don't go there. I'd love nothing better than to get that site taken down, but alas, that is not within my power.
I have mixed feelings about ClamXav. I like the guy who develops it, and I like the way it works... but it's not always on top of things with regard to malware definitions.
Regarding Avast, it is certainly not "the worst of the whole wretched lot" of anti-virus software. Neither is it something I would recommend highly. It has a tendency towards false positives, in my experience. Beyond that, I have not used it for a lengthy period of time, and cannot say more.
Go to my Mac Malware Guide and get the information you need to learn how to protect yourself, and then make your own educated decision about anti-virus software, based on your needs and behaviors. I have some recommendations there, and you can also take a look at the results of my testing of Mac anti-virus software. (Be sure to read the whole thing, and don't just skip straight to the results, as the results are meaningless without understanding what they mean and what they don't mean.)
With respect to your site and your basic research on the matter and limited time spent with these engines running, you have to see this from my side as well. I have over 20+ client networks that run nothing but the full licensed version of Avast with just the AV filters turned on (none of the Firewalling built into it of any kind). 2 of those clients are full Mac networks with 15+ Macs on them and they run the Mac version without issue. Their systems run at the same speed as they did without anything else on them. I also run the software myself daily an my system has no issues with slowness or anything. I have run Avast for the past 6+ years without problems with false positives or system corruptions of any kind, the same cannot be said for other platforms like McAfee and Norton who's bad signature updates have crippled entire networks. I have looked at numerous options from ESET to AVG Free and none of them have as small a footprint on the system as Avast in my professional opinion (one backed by over 15 years in the IT industry). While as of late I'll agree that the PC version of the software has had some additions to it that I don't agree with (like the newly added features of 8.0), the Mac version is still pretty basic in contrast. As such, even the PC side isn't bad, you just have to do a custom install and just exclude the additional options you don't want. Ultimately, they're adding it in there to try and protect idiot users more, but there's only so much you can do to keep people safe without piling on the security layers.
Anyway, as Thomas said... discussions about AV on Mac forums can go on for hours, but the fact remains that you run a risk with and without something on your system. Utimately it's your call to make, just be open minded and do your research instead of just taking the word of some home user of Macs with lot of points who've used these systems for over 10 years and are more proficient at protecting themselves than you are as a novice user. That is the best suggestion I can give you.

How to add security to App built using InDesign?

We are using DPS (Single Edition) to build an App that will contain some sensitive information, and we will need to protect this somehow by restricting this content so that only current employees may use it - meaning it should be inaccessible to people outside the company, as well as to former employees who have since left.
What is the best way to restrict access? Adding password protection seems like the most obvious answer, but is this doable within InDesign? Alternatively, is there another solution, and should it be done within InDesign, or by limiting access somehow with DPS?
Thanks!

Ah ha! thanks, but got all the way to the bottom of the blog, quite excited by the info; only to find I need an enterprise adobe account. Why Why Why, as per the other comments, there is a huge demand for clients that only need limited distribution ie hundreds, not ten's of thousands as per large publications.
Enterprise Dev account for Apple is cheap, DPS enterprise is well, a lot of money.
There is an opporunity here for Adobe, The Pro-License needs to evolve for non magazine customers, I create Apps for a very large Automotive company, they love my low cost "brochure Apps" they would love to do more but to distribute to retailers, so we are only talking many hundreds. This number seems to be very common - Hundreds.
DPS Enterprise is geared up and costed up at major magazine publishers, correct?
I dont need all the publishers subscription stuff, and web folio's and limited articles etc etc.
But Enterprise limited distribution, and analytics, and yes, even Gold support, is what I would pay for.
As mentioned on other threads, my clients and myself have decided that we will just make do with SE Apps, so wave good bye to the Pro Licence.
I doubt I'm alone here, no infact, I know I'm not alone, just hope there will be enough of us to make financially work for Adobe.
Just a thought, maybe hopefully, you guys are ahead of me here, and working on something :-))
Cheers
Alistair

Windows 7 on late 2006 MBP?

Does anyone know if Windows 7 will run on a 2.33GHz MBP? This is the 17" model from late 2006 with the "MacBookPro2,1" model identifier. I'm mulling the idea of getting a copy of Win7 under the cheap student pricing. I don't currently have Boot Camp set up on my computer, so I can't run the compatibility checker Microsoft provides.

Hi,
should be no problem.
Fact might be that Windows 7 will provide all needed drivers itself for all non-Apple-specific hardware components of your MBP.
Regards
Stefan
