Creative Cloud is confusing me

I have a local version of CS6, bought before all the CC stuff started. I just updated Application Manager and it is now called "Creative Cloud". All the suggested updates refer to themselves as "Creative Cloud" updates. I DO NOT want CC. Can I apply these updates without inadvertently signing up for CC?

Updates have nothing to do with CC.

  • Photo's not syncing between Elements 12 and Photoshop Touch ------ revel or creative cloud - very confusing

    I have photoshop elements 12 (updated to 12.1) And i use Photoshop Touch (version 1.6.1) for my Galaxy tab, (which is stock - un-rooted)
    I know when i first installed it, any photos i dragged into mobile albums showed up in my Photoshop Touch app.
    Now something seems to have changed. The app only has import images via local/creative cloud/camera/google/facebook.
    I know Elements 12 is uploading them to Revel, because i can see them online in my Revel Account.
    I've installed the Revel app to my tab, and the photos are there.
    So if the photos are in the cloud and my Revel app see's them, why are they not showing up in my Photoshop app.
    And why is there a creative cloud import option, but no revel import option.
    Can someone explain the difference between CreativeCloud and Revel....
    All i want to do is edit a few images every now and then on my Tab. but PLEASE how do i get it working again?

    If I remember correctly, Revel is a different service than Creative Cloud, hence the confusion. And if I also remember, Revel was around before Creative Cloud and PS Touch. Revel seemed more or less to be aimed at consumers whereas Creative Cloud is more or less aimed at professionals.
    Creative Cloud is free (up to 2 GB; most of the Creative Cloud subs provide an additional 18 GB for a total of 20 GB).

    Adobe Creative Cloudのアップデートでこの問題を近日中に解決する予定です。

    Dear Mr. Smith,
    I have since cancelled my CC Premiere Pro account.
    Adobe sent a verification email to mbattaglia@1100kfnx_com. Since I am not that person, I had no access to that email account; therefore I could not activate the account.
    The Creative Cloud exe file wouldn’t work. I opened it and it looked like it was going to run and then it just disappeared off of the task manager.
    Since Adobe pulled an email address from my email account, I can only assume the Adobe is involved in the act of Data Mining and now they have all of my email contacts and more.
    Five stars for Adobe and their Creative Cloud of Confusion.
    Very disappointed… but not surprised,

  • Confused about Adobe IDs + Creative Cloud + DPS App Builder.

    The "Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Getting Started Guide" recommends having the multiple email/multiple Adobe IDs for Accounts. (Master/Admin/Application/Builder/Designer) Great! I love being extremely organized and worked with my IT department to set these up. Now, initially, we are only going to release a couple SE apps (free w/CC), but hope to do a multi-folio down the road. So, for the SE app, I'm working through the "Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing iPad Apps with DPS, Single Edition" and I get to the page about building the app with DPS App Builder. Here it states (on page 49 for those following along) that if you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, you must use the same Adobe ID that you use to sign in to Creative Cloud. Well, of course I'm a CC subscriber. But with the company that I work at, the CC Adobe ID is associated to my work email address. So this is where I'm confused because back over in that Getting Started Guide it talks about not using an account tied to a person (which is what using my work email does). So what Adobe IDs am I suppose to use and when?

    Ok, so we had a whole bunch of internal emails about this The person you were working with on Twitter was kind enough to reach out to me to make sure we gave you the right information. Turns out that SE *is* now available with Creative Cloud for Teams. This was news to me!
    Back to your original question: you should sign in with your Adobe ID. If your Adobe ID for CC for Teams is your corporate email address then that's the Adobe ID you should use.

  • Confused about the new Creative Cloud

    Dear all,
    Since I read adout the new Creative Cloud I am confused about what is going to happen to my license for Adobe Lightroom. Are they going to still maintain the desktop applications as well or will I have to pay for a yearly license if I want to use the new versions of Lightroom?
    I am a casual photographer and I love using Lighroom for my pictures but I don't think that paying for a yearly license because I am not spending a lot of time editing pictures.
    Can someone clarify this for me?
    Many thanks,
    Lucian

    The CC is geared towards Pro users, schools etc. LR spans both Pro and casual users. So from what I can garner Lightroom will stay as it is for the next iteration at least. I quoted that bit as my opinion is that that is the very reason why Lightroom will be available outside the cloud with a cloud version available with intergration features with the rest of the CC suite.

  • Confused by multiple versions of Creative Cloud apps

    I now have Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (2014), Muse CC, and Muse CC 2014 installed on my machine and listed in my creative cloud applet. The Creative Cloud applet says they are all up to date. I am presuming that the versions with (2014) appended to the names are the latest versions. So can I safely remove Photoshop CC and Muse CC without any issues? Also I am curious why when the updated apps became available the Creative Cloud applet did not upgrade over the old ones instead left me with two versions.

  • Need Photoshop and Bridge: does Creative Cloud for students/teachers include both?[was: I'm confused, need help]

    I'm a photography student about to start University. And I need Adobe Bridge and Photoshop for me to edit my photographs. The cheapest Creative Cloud for students/teachers is £8.78 a month, does this include both Bridge and Photoshop? If not does that mean i'll have to buy the Complete Creative Cloud for £15.88 a month?

    Bridge is included with Photoshop.  The package you are asking about also includes Lightroom, I believe.

  • CONFUSED CANNOT INSTALL LIGHTROOM VIA CREATIVE CLOUD.

    Hi there - many thanks for your help in advance...I am using Lightroom 5 (Vs 5.7) which sits on my dock and in my applications folder (Mac) I see it is available as an update via Creative Cloud and I have the full Creative Cloud license. Each time I try to install it via the creative cloud 'Find New Apps apps' interface it does not do so. Also I am attempting to uninstall older CC versions of Photoshop Indesign and Illustrator vis the CC platform but although a waiting bar comes up they still remain. Am I doing something wrong. Thanks again, Steve

    Thanks very much for your advice, have done what you suggested and logged out and in again, rebooted Mac and clicked on install for Lightroom and uninstall for others. So now - its now about three hours later and Lightroom install is frozen at 42% with no sign of movement and the uninstalling of other older cc versions of Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator still in 'waiting' mode. Wonder what might be the problem? Thanks again Steve

  • How many computers can I install my Creative Cloud apps on?

    You can install the apps available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for example, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.

    Jeff,
    Here is a concern I have.  I called sales support yesterday and asked the following questions.   I have 3 computers (1) PC tower, (1) iMac and (1) MacBook Pro.   When I first started using Adobe all the way through CS5 Master Collection I always owned the Windows Box Versions.  I have been waiting for months for this to come out so I could move my workflow over to MacOS X.    Since the Creative Cloud supports both MAC and Windows installs the question I asked was can I install it on both my 2 Mac Computers.  Then if I need to use it on my PC can I simply deactivate and then activate on it for use?
    The answer your support person gave was "YES"  So the answer in this topic don't even flow with the answers from calling the 800 number!
    So now reading this forum topic I am really confused.   I like many others have definate reasons why I may want to flip flop the machine I am using the software on  (1) I have $4500 worth of AE plug-ins.  $2000 worth of these are platform specific.  So they only run on a windows machine.  Even, though I intend on my primary workflow to be used on a MAC there may come a time when I need to use one of these plug-ins and then would have to switch my activation to the PC to use it. 
    Another scenario,  Let's face it Apple has not been to keen on upgrading the Mac Pro system's.  iMac's are great but have their limitations with graphics cards, drives, and memory.  So if you go a complicated AE render to do,iIt makes a lot more sense to run it on a PC at this time for me.  So my hope here is I would de-activate one of my MAC's activate my PC then render away.
    I like many others completely understand that we are only suppose to operate our software on 1 machine at a time.  I am cool with you checking this.  Other posters have asked what if I forget to turn one machine off leave with my MacBook Pro and then fire it up.  Will I be in trouble?  Not sure how you handle this if you don't have a connection.  But Spotify the music streaming company license their software to me the user.  If I fire up one machine,  Then grab my iPhone and try to listen it turns it off on the other machine.  Apps in the app store like MotionX Drive do the same thing.
    I am an Electrical Automation Engineer by day and a Graphic/Video Designer Enthusiast at night.   In all the programming software that every vendor provides they provide a licensing server software service that sits locally within the location.  It manages concurrent licenses, without the need for online connections.  Any computer needing to run simply pulls the license from the network connected license server software service.  When the program is done it releases the license.  The only issues with this is if your license server crashes.  It can be a bit of a headache with support to get your license back.   Others simply have an online site (like Apple) Where you simply log in and de-activate devices as needed.  (Heck even Hulu, and Netflix offer this.)
    I think if Adobe wants the Cloud thing to take off then they need to re-evaluate this.  The license needs to follow the user not the device.  The user should have a painless simple way to activate and de-activate their license back to their Adobe ID.

  • Creative Cloud: Nothing But Daylight Robbery?

    I work for an academic institution in Surrey that has been using Adobe CS3 Suite since 2009. Many of the Adobe tools are used around the school between students and staff, and it has become a required resource for many.
    With the last few PCs around the school being moved to Windows 7, and our Media department's request to move to Premiere Pro and After Effects, it became clear that we would need to upgrade. We looked at the CS6 Master Suite and the possibility of beginning a volume license agreement that could help keep us up to date in the future.
    Then Adobe announced that there would be no CS7 and that the Creative Cloud subscription service would be the only way to access the CS suite in the future.
    Last month we received a quote for CS6 that would cover our whole school. We would own all of the Adobe CS suite applications, we could put them on all of our PCs (where relevant) and it would cost us approx. £9.5k
    Hearing that CC was replacing CS7 we received a revised quote to see what the equivalent would be on the new CC system. The quote for CC was £19.5k (!?!)
    I have since contacted Adobe support to question this, as it seemed implausible that Adobe would just start charging academic institutions double what they were being charged a month ago. After speaking with several people on Adobe's "support" line I have received no explanation. No clarification. I have no idea where we stand with these products now. The only thing that has been explained to me is that with CC "you get to always have the most recent version of the application". How is this a benefit worth paying double for? Under the old license scheme I could have purchased a completely new version of the CS Master Suite every year on site license, and it still would only be costing half what the Creative Cloud now costs..
    One support lady even quoted me £15k per month to use CC based on our staff numbers. Have Adobe gone literally insane? The world is under a global recession and you are quoted academic institutions with 150 FTEs £15k a month to use your software?!?
    From everything I have seen so far, the Creative Cloud is an enormous scam. It is a way for Adobe to halve its costs, yet charge double. There is no benefit to what is now offered for us. There is also no choice.
    Unfortunately as Adobe owns thus entire sector, there are no other competitors to look at. I will have to purchase (the now end-of-life) CS6 suite. Hopefully this will last us a few years, and by that time Adobe's "visionary" management will be gone and there will actually be an academic licensing system of use.
    From Adobe’s website:
    ”The Adobe Education Enterprise Agreement (EEA) offers substantial savings to primary and secondary schools and higher education institutions on volume software purchases of creative and Adobe® Acrobat® software. EEA provides your institution access to feature releases and updates for the products licensed over the EEA term”
    So our costs going from £9.5k to £19.5k is Adobe’s idea of “substantial savings”. Is this incompetence or just a flagrant lie? To keep this price in perspective, £19.5k is more than we pay for Windows, Office, VMWare, Veeam, Symantec Backup, SEP & Altiris combined.
    Are there any other schools in the same boat? Have we been horribly mis-quoted? Have Adobe lost the plot? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi ghsadmin, welcome to the forums,
    You are certainly not alone, here is one such article on the topic:
    Inside Higher Education -- Confusion in the Cloud
    http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/05/22/adobe-pricing-plan-raises-concerns
    Here are a few quotes from the article:
    College officials are concerned and confused by new licensing terms from Adobe they fear will dramatically raise costs.
    "There is no question about it, there are some customers that will see a price increase," said Johann Zimmern, a director in Adobe’s education unit.
    Allan Chen, the chief information officer at Menlo College, has taken a look at the licensing terms and is ready to stop using some Adobe products altogether because he thinks the university could face a roughly 700 percent increase in costs. Even though its user base is small – only about 20 people – that is an unaffordable increase, Chen said.
    But one procurement official at a large university system said college officials across the country have been slogging through terms and conditions and are now appalled at Adobe’s plans, which the official estimated would cost five times more than the official’s system could afford.
    So no, you are not alone concerning the education sector, as well as your counter parts in other areas such as non-profit organizations, small businesses, freelancers, corporate users, are all voicing concerns over this new "subscription only" idea, it's pricing and overall concerns, etc.
    A few others whom are concerned in general:

  • Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers

    Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.
    See http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html

    Eugene:
      Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
    There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
    I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
    You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
    I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
    You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
    If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
    At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
    Yes, you can do that.
    If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
    It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud syncing/updating/installing problems

    Hello Forum,
    I am experiencing problems with the Adobe Creative Cloud application. It is telling me that 13 Adobe applications that I have deleted from my hard drive using the included uninstall apps are, right now, "Up to Date" on my hard drive. Additionally, when I try to re-install one of these deleted yet "Up to Date" applications (Acrobat Pro XI), I cannot because it's listed as "Up to Date."
    Does anyone know why the Cloud app is not updating itself since my uninstalls? Or what is lingering on my system that may be confusing it? If it's the latter, is there a universal uninstall app for all Adobe application files on one's hard drive? I figure if I can do that, I can start over fresh. I already used the Creative Cloud's own uninstall app to delete it and re-install it, though that didn't change the information it's giving me.
    Thanks in advance for anyone's help,
    Scott

  • Why move to creative cloud?

    I still don't understand why Adobe forcing us to move to Creative Cloud?
    All those "benefits" that Adobe served us, is just a marketing trick.
    Adobe said something like this: "All the newest updates and features are immediately available to the Creative Cloud users" This is the new benefit? Prior to Creative Cloud updates didn't exist? When Adobe release an update I don't see why "from the box users" also couldn't get them (updates) like Creative Cloud users? In both cases user must download the update (if she/he want to). Also, Adobe said something like this: "For Creative Cloud members updates are available immediately" - this is discriminating to the people who are for some reason couldn't/doesn't want to buy Creative Cloud membership, and who are using "from the box" Adobe software. Why is their money less worthy than the money of the people who are subscribed to the Creative Cloud? When I buy an car with the same interior and with the same engine but in different color than my neighbour's car, I expect to have the same car but in different color. Why that is not the case with Adobe? Those statements are perfidiously way to force people to register with Creative Cloud. I presume that CS7 (or some later edition) will be available only for Creative Cloud users and that Adobe will stop issuing "from the box" editions. Why Adobe won't give users the ability to chose where to spend their money and what to buy and how to use it (online or offline)?
    "Every Creative Cloud subscriber have 20GB of storage available"!? Hey! How much HD footage we can store there? With 1-2 TB external HDDs that anyone can buy for 100-150$ Adobe offering us 20 GB of storage as a better solution? What is faster solution: HDD or Cloud service? "Files stored in the cloud are safer than those on user's HDD(s)"?! Anyone at Adobe heard for backup? I have a PC for about 20 years and still haven't any single problem with HDD malfunction. So, Adobe, please tell us what is the REAL reason why you want us to store OUR files on YOUR servers? Anyone can share their files with who ever they want using e-mail (for smaller files), and there is so many FREE web storage services, so why do we need to pay Adobe for something that we already have for free? I can use some free web storage to keep my files there and open them with current Adobe software, directly from network like from HDD, and they will be automatically updated as soon as I save them. Also I can access them from wherever I am and share them with who ever I want. So I really don't see why people buying this marketing trick called Creative Cloud?
    Only REAL reason for creating something like Creative Cloud, as far as I can see, is to stop the piracy, and this is something that I really support. But I would really like to see that such a big company stop using those discriminating methods on their users!
    I'm using Adobe Premiere from version 6 and After effects from the first edition so many years ago... For all those years, never cross my mind that Adobe might one day discriminate their users in such manner!
    Adobe, please give us ability to CHOOSE from equal products - not from the same but different products (at the same time)!
    Thank you!

    I'm not here to give a lesson in trade laws. Nor am I defending Adobe.  I'm just telling you that a publicly traded U.S. Corporation like Adobe, Apple or Microsoft must abide by the laws of the land in which they are headquartered.   It's the same for companies whose headquarters are in France, Germany, Singapore, Russia, Japan, etc...
    I didn't talk about major updates. I talked about all updates 'cause Adobe said that all updates will be immediately available to the Creative Cloud users (only).
    I think you're confused by the differences between a regular cycle update and a major product upgrade.   These are two different things. 
    Licensed users continue to receive all the regular cycle updates just as before.  And as before, they can't buy a major product upgrade until Adobe officially releases it.  Nothing has changed in that regard.   Perpetual License users still get the updates as they always have.
    While it is true that Cloud users don't have to wait as long for major upgrades, it could be argued (and I would not disagree) that Cloud members are being used as "beta testers."  Some of the immediately released upgrades have been sloppy and less than successfully received.  I think that is one downside to this new policy and one which Adobe needs to address in coming months.
    I also asked why all Adobe software isn't available for the "from the box" users? Why I can't buy Adobe Muse without Creative Cloud membership?
    If "from the box" you mean a Perpetual License, I don't know the answer to that.  All I can say is Muse is a relatively new product.  Perhaps Adobe hasn't determined just how or where MU fits in to the Adobe product family.  Same goes for the Edge products.  You would have to ask Adobe about that.
    Incidentally, after May 1st, "boxed" software will no longer be offered.  Adobe Creative Suite products purchased on a Perpetual License will be fulfilled by digital download only.
    Creative Cloud users don't have the same opportunities. Adobe forcing users to move to Creative Cloud by giving them immediate updates, more software to buy etc.
    It's called incentives and it is fundamental to good marketing.  You have something new you want people to buy so you give them some good incentives for trying it.  I don't have a problem with this. 
    Nancy O.
