CS6 perpetual license after Photoshop Photography Program

It has been my understanding that if one takes advantage of the Photoshop Photography Program (PPP) offer for current users of PS CS3 or above (the one that expires December 31), that the existing perpetual license will remain in effect, and that CS6 (if that is what one owns) could be used concurrently with the new CC version, or that one could revert back to CS6 if the CC subscription is cancelled. But there seems to be a persistent perception in some quarters that the PPP offer is an upgrade offer, and that one effctively surrenders the earlier CS6 license in favor of the CC license, and would not be able to use the CS6 perpetual license thereafter.
Could someone (preferably Adobe staff) authoritatively clarify which scenario is correct? I am specificaly asking about the CS3+ offer expiring on December 31, not the open-to-anyone offer expiring on December 2. However, if the answer is different (that it, if the CS6 license would be usable if the PPP is purchased before 12/2, but not aferward) then that would also be valuable information.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave
Your understanding is correct.  Your perpetual license qualifies you for promotional pricing but you don't lose that license and can continue to use it.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

  • Cost of Photoshop Photography Program after the first year

    Hi,
    If I sign up for the Photoshop Photography Program today (at $9.99 per month for the first year), what will the subscription cost be after the first year?
    Will I be charged for 3 single-apps?
    Thanks,
    Henrik

    Budget that it will go up in year two to $15 then in year three to $18 and year four to $20 and year five to $25.
    If inflation kicks in you can expect some major price rises

  • Lightroom 5 upgrade to Photoshop Photography Program

    Using Windows 7.
    I have Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5.3 installed on my machine.
    I have purchased and installed Photoshop Photography Program.
    The Photoshop version has upgraded to CC but the Lightroom 5 version still has my original Serial Numbers showing on the Help/Registration/License.
    How do I fix this without uninstalling Lightroom?
    I have searched all over but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.
    Thanks,
    Roy

    You now have two LR licenses, and each of those licenses can be installed on up to two different computers, so effectively you have 4 different installs you can use. 
    If you have not already installed LR on 4 computers, just choose which version, CC or non-CC that you have not already installed two times, and use it until you have time to reorganize what is installed, where. 
    LR-CC also makes it easier to migrate which two computers you have LR-CC activated on.  Upon installing on the third computer, something I did, recently, you'll be asked to deactivate it on the other two.  After that, you can just log into whichever other computer you still want to use it on and it'll reactivate that one and the other one will revert to deactivated.  Presumably you can do this several times across multiple computers, only having two activated at a time, but I'm sure Adobe has some way to watch for abuse of using your two licenses across many computers by repeated activating and deactivating different ones, and would eventually blacklist your login or serial number.  Years ago with Photoshop, there used to be a hard 20-deactivate/re-activation limit, but that was done away with so no one knows what it is, now. 
    If you really need LR on 5 or more computers then you'd need to buy more of the two-activation licenses.

  • Not qualified for Photoshop Photography Program

    I just went on adobe site and entered my serial number for my Photoshop cs5 extended and it said I was not qualified for the Photoshop Photography Program at 9.95 mo--I also own lightroom 5
    Please advise as I read it was for owners of an existing cs3 or higher

    Adobe's educational licenses have never been upgradeable. Typically they're sold at a great discount. You probaboy can buy new full educational licenses at educational discounts, if you qualify as a student or educator.
    Adobe's recent, perpetual license upgrades - such as, to Photoshop CS6 - have accepted a student license as a qualifying product. Not the suite license since that is a completely different product, but student versions of Photoshop.
    That acted as the affordable entry point, for people who might manage a commercial upgrade, but not an initial commercial-price purchase at many hundreds of dollars. Otherwise these people were never realistically going to become commercial software users, so were never going to contribute any real revenue to Adobe going forward within the perpetual license model.
    The Cloud offerings can now be considered as the affordable entry point instead, IMO, given that they don't involve any large lump-sum purchase at the start. You can be up and running, for the expenditure of your first monthly payment only. Even a year's commitment is much cheaper than buying a perpetual license, and comparable to buying a commercial upgrade under the perpetual license model.
    So, a person who does not possess any commercial license for the software, only an academic one, is only disadvantaged in that they fail to get this discounted membership.
    But AFAICT this discounted membership is given on the strength of having in the past shelled out a lot of money buying a perpetual license. Someone who has not done that, IMO should not feel aggrieved at missing out on this particular discount.
    It is specifically not aimed at them. I read it as a goodwill gesture / incentive / sop to other people, who have got to this point much more expensively, than this hypothetical student will have done.

  • Combining yearly Photoshop Photography Program with monthly Complete Program?

    Hi all!
    I'm planing to subscribe to a discounted 1-year Photoshop Photography Program. However, I sometimes need other apps from Complete Program, like AI or AE, too (probably worth 3-4 months a year).
    For money saving reason. Is it possible to maintain a membership of Photoshop Photography Program while enrolling month-to-month Complete Program as needed along the way?
    Or I need 2 Adobe ID?
    Thanks!

    If you have the trial or any other perpetual license version you will need to uninstall that first. After that log out of CC, restart your machine and then log back into CC. LR should then be available to download.

  • Photoshop Photography Program advertised, but not available in Hungary?

    After filling out the order form for Photoshop Photography Program the PS + LR boundle, after processing the payment the website gave an erroe message: Payment System Unavailable and offered me to try again, or place the order over the phone. I have spent about 2 hours total on the phone, mostly waiting and on hold calling a UK based number. Adding up the charge for the minutes calling UK from Hungary, the phone bill might be as much as a full PS license.
    I also spoke to a manager at the sales, I told him my story and he told me that they extended the special, so it did not end on the 2nd of December. The special will remain 'til the 8th of December. He transferred my call to another sales agent. She was helpful, but she couldn't process the payment either. She told me that I can not purchase this type of plan, because ungary is not registered. Whatever that means, it is mindblowing that they advertise the plan that not available from here. What a bunch of BS!
    I am wandering, if anyone has a little more info on this matter!
    Thanks, ZFoto

  • Two different Photoshop Photography Program offers?

    In mid-September, the Photoshop Photography Program was introduced. I first read about it here: http://blogs.adobe.com/creativelayer/introducing-the-photoshop-photography-program/?scid=s ocial11524994
    It states that the $9.99/month price is not an introductory price, but THE price for anyone who owns Photoshop CS3 or later, and that you have until Dec 31 to sign up. The Black Friday offer that is currently being promoted seems to be open to anyone and the $9.99/month is only for the first year. Will the original offer be made available again after the Black Friday deal is over? I don't want to rush to sign up for the Black Friday deal and face a huge monthly subscription increase in a year.
    Also, if it's even relevant after the answer to the previous question, would the original offer be available to owners of CS5, or does it have to be the standalone Photoshop program?
    Thanks!

    The only difference between the Black Friday offer and the original one is that the Black Friday offer is available to everyone until Dec 2.
    After that, the original offer kicks back in. Owners of standalone CS3-CS6 are eligible (and no-one else) until Dec 31.

  • Trying to start Photoshop Photography Program

    I'm trying to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program.  I have a working copy of Adobe CS3 and have registered it online.  When I try to subscribe, Adobe says that I don't qualify.  What is wrong?

    Only Photoshop CS3 (or CS4 or CS5 or CS6) full retail standalone version qualifies.
    Suites, Educational versions and Volume Licenses do not qualify.

  • Upgrading and downgrading between Creative Cloud and Photoshop Photography Program

    I am interested in subscribing to the Photoshop Photography Program, but occasionally need to use Premiere and After Effects - is it possible to "upgrade" from the Photoshop Photography Program to the full Creative Cloud (on a per month basis, as needed), and then "downgrade" back to the Photography Program afterwards? Or would separate accounts be necessary to achieve this?

    You may switch the plans according to the requirements.

  • Using Creative Cloud Photoshop Photography program on 2 home computers

    I have a license for the Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop Photography Program (Photoshop CC 2014 & Lightroom 5). I believe I should be able to be signed in on both computers at the same time as long as I'm not using Photoshop or Lightroom simultaneously on both pc's. Or, do I have to always be signed out of Creative Cloud on 1 of the computers when using Creative Cloud on the other one?
    Looking forward to clarification on this.
    Thanks, Ian

    Hi
    you will be able to use it on two computer flawlessly , i have been using it on two computer and it works great
    however if you will try to sign into the third computer them rest two computer are signed out.
    so as long as you are signed into computer it will work

  • CC update: is Lightroom out of Photoshop Photography Program subscription?

    Greetings!
    After the recent CC update my Lightroom had "detached" from the installed application list and now suggests to "try" it:
    When I launch Lightroom it suggests me to download update to 5.5. I looked at my account and see that I have Lightroom registered as a product and Photoshop Photography Program as subscription:
    When I was subscribing for the plan in November 2013 Lightroom was part of the subscription, now it is out and the CC application is not even aware that Lightroom is installed on my computer.
    Please let me know if the Lightroom is taken away from my CC subscription. If not, how can I return Lightroom into CC manger so that it alone tracks for the updates to all my subscribed CC applications?
    I would appreciate any advice or insight.
    Thanks!

    Okay. Thanks a lot.
    So for the 25 € per month you get only Photoshop CC (+ Bridge).
    Und for the 13 € per month you get Photoshop CC (+ Bridge) and Lightroom 5.

  • Photoshop Photography Program & CC Suite aplications

    I signed up for the Adobe Photoshop Photography Program, which is supposed to include just Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5, and Bridge CC, as far as I know. However, after running the CC installer I now see the full suite of Creative Cloud programs available with "Install"  buttons beside each one. Do I just ignore these and why are they there if I only subscribed to the Photoshop Photography Program?

  • On my recent receipt it only lists photoshop photography program and not lightroom 5 -.why?

    Just curious as to why on my recent purchase on the receipt it does not list "Lightroom 5" only  "photoshop photography program"

    If you have any trial /beta version of lightroom installed in the computer then you need to uninstall it (Manually uninstall Lightroom) or use CC cleaner tool(Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
    Or
    uninstall it completely by checking the preference boxes too.
    Now restart the computer & download & install from the CC desktop App. It should work.
    Then you need to install it from the CC Desktop App (www.creative.adobe.com)
    Hope it helps you.
