Creative Cloud is a mistake, and neither an option.
Yes. I am not a common Adobe user, however, it is easy to see the effects of such monthly-based subscription, in general.
I wanted to post this in the feedback site, but I couldn't. -.-
It is quite clear that, who do use Adobe 24/7 or very and very often, find this Creative Cloud system pretty useful and much cheaper, saving even the 700% of the total cost of the *full* group od softwares.
But many.. TOO many problems such will cause. Have you considered this, Adobe? I think not.
1) WHAT if I juse JUST ONE Adobe program pretty often?
Oh, I just save MUCH and MUCH less money. First of all.
2) WHAT if I created projects like 2 months ago and I didn't use Photoshop for a full month.
Seriously... do I have to pay A FULL MONTH SUBSCRIPTION to open my file again? Who assures us that with the CC series the projects are opened with the old CS ones?
This is, tremendously, maybe worse than someone cracking the software. I make some work, and I can't open or edit or reuse my OWN personal work, if I don't buy another month subscription. Sorry, this is a theft.
3) WHAT if I don't use Adobe 24/7?
That's another point... who is into business or busy because school and job, must pay a monthly subscription to access to CC like..10 times, or even less? Come on Adobe, this is really too much. I assure you, just for this reason, you are going to lose at least the 10% of your customers.
4) Adobe, do you think to be the only one making these softwares?
Absolutely NO. And, watch out. Because the other companies right waited this moment. Monopoly is an illness... not your main weapon. Many won't see your Photoshop CC.
5) Making an day-based subscription?? No?
Someone of your team - no offense - is quite an idiot. Making a smarter option? For example - expecially for those who don't use photoshop 100 times per month - can't we just pay according to how many days we use the software? Like a sort of access in trial license? Too much hard to think that? I think you thought this, but you just want to earn more, I suppose. That's why you are going to lose customers.
6) After all this mess, you discriminate Europeans, too?
Why Europeans must pay like 25-30% more for the same service? No way. And do not put taxes or other stories in between, because people are going to buy directly through your servers, and there is NO extra cost if I do this from USA or Ireland. Indeed, maybe you are going to earn extra money because you made an invented exchange from dollars and euros. The last time I hear this story was from a scammer, not from such a professional company like you.
Good luck to who supports this ''new future'' whatever it is called.. don't count me in.
1) WHAT if I juse JUST ONE Adobe program pretty often?
They have a single use subscription for $20/mo. Similar to upgrading extended version every 1.5 years.
2) WHAT if I created projects like 2 months ago and I didn't use Photoshop for a full month. Who assures us that with the CC series the projects are opened with the old CS ones?Or don't use it every day?
Same problem if you own it. If upgrade price is $400 every 1.5 year that is same as $16/month. You can choose not to update and version will be same as when you last used it.
3) WHAT if I don't use Adobe 24/7? and 5) Making an day-based subscription?? Same problem if you own it. If upgrade price is $400 every 1.5 year that is same as $16/month.
4) Adobe, do you think to be the only one making these softwares?
Competition is always a factor in market.
6) After all this mess, you discriminate Europeans, too?
Taxes charged by Governments and municipalities are not controlled by Adobe.

Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !
Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
Max activation allowed = 2 computers.
Student discounted price will be valid for one year.
Later you can purchase with different Adobe ID , with valid proof of eligibility .
Once you had purchased yearly prepaid subscription , it will not expire for another one whole year , whether you are still student or finished graduation. It will expire after year. -
Creative Cloud both on Mac and Windows on a second computer
Is it possible to use Creative Cloud both on Mac and Windows on a second computer with one license? At home I work with Mac, and out I work with Windows.
In 2.1.5 of the Software License Agreement it says that you have to own tow separate licenses if you use Mac and Windows on one computer. Is this not also the case if you have two computers, one operating with Mac and one operating with Windows?
2.1.5 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. Customer
must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example,
if Customer desires to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a
device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then Customer must first obtain two separate
licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating
system platform, are delivered to Customer on the same media. -

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

If the apps are installed fine and close after launch see this link:
CC applications close immediately after launch
If the problem is something different, please let us know the error you see or what is happening on the screen so we can advise you on a solution

The license allows YOU to install on a 2nd computer... it does not allow someone else to use your license

I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.
Thanks.I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.

I just upgraded my Photoshop CC to PS CC 2104 but eventhough my previous PS language is english Creative Cloud installed Turkish PS and there is no language choice other than Turkish in preferences menu. Pls let me know how to change language to English from Turkish.
Hi BulKa59,
Thats strange. Could you share a screenshot of the CC desktop app preferences panel?
May i also know the operating system on which you are working?
Try to sign out from CC desktop app and then sign in back and check if you get the option to change the language.
Also, what is your operating system language?
