Does CC take over my perpetual CS6 licence?

I have a perpetual licence of Creative Suite 6 and am running many of its applications - InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and so on. It is working perfectly for the print-based work I do. However, I may take on a job that requires me to subscribe to InDesign CC 2014 for a month or two. Just the one-app subscription, not the full CC. When the job is finished, I will stop subscribing.
I believe I have seen discussion that CC takes over your perpetual licence (search didn't find it). One comment was that their perpetual licence "disappeared" from their Adobe registered products. Apparently, when you drop the month-to-month subscription, it kills CS6 because it has become related to the subscription, and the only solution is to do a full uninstall, use the cleaner tool, and reinstall the perpetual suite.
Can anyone confirm that this is true?
On a related note, if I buy a single app InDesign subscription, will my other CS6 apps (Photoshop, etc) stop working during the job because I haven't subscribed to the full suite?

If you buy a single app CC, you will be able to work on the CC version as well as the CS6 version.
If you own a license for CS6 you own it for life.  Machine capabilities might advance beyond being able to use it, but you always have it.
If you have a full CC subscription it includes the option to install CS6 software but that software is part of the CC subscription, so if the subscription ends so does the use of the CC-acquired versions.  Your licensed software still remains useable if you end the subscription.
As far running both CC and CS together, it should be possible, though in my case CC decided to assume control of my suite programs to an extent where it changed how they are set up.  So I can't answer regarding how things get along when you mix them in the same system.
Your Creative Cloud membership also includes access to CS6 apps. So if you ever need the CS6 version, head over to http://creative.adobe.com/, sign in, and download a CS6 app. For instructions on how to install CS6 apps see: Install CS6 app with Creative Cloud

  • Why does it take over two hours to download a movie on Apply tv

    Why does it take over two hours to download a  movie on Apple TV
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netflix uses adaptive streaming and can reduce quality right down to produce a stream as low as 0.5 Mbps.

  • Why does Adobe take over?  Part 2

    Why does Adobe take over Part 2:  I attempted to use  http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/application-file-icons-change-acrobat.html  and on download got a box that said, Quitting     Raise without Handler!    
    Oh, and I had to uninstall the whole thing anyway just to be able to get to the Internet.  Any Adobe icon I hit tells me that there is nothing attached to it. 

    May be you can try other solutions mentioned in the link.

  • Why does it take over 30minutes for my brand new MacBook Pro to sign me in?

    I purchased a macbook pro 2 days ago. I am not familiar with mac's, but the first day it worked fine, but after i shut it down and attempted to start it up again it takes forever. The computer starts up and i enter in my password, but then the screensaver screen just stays on and doesn't actually log me in until about 45minutes later. When it does actually log me into the main screen with the deck, it freezes up if i click on anything. This is a brand new computer, why is this happening?!

    This is very unusual. A normally operating Macbook Pro should have you signed in and running in well under 60 seconds from cold boot.
    Most likely is that the software installation on you machine has been corrupted. It's not possible to efficiently work through all the possible problems over the forum. The root causes can range from a bad preference file up to a corrupted file system. Because your are a very new user and the problems are so severe, my approach to your situation would be to completely erase your drive and reinstall OSX and your applications from scratch. That way you eliminate nearly all variables.
    A more conservative approach would be to fix permissions on the drive and/or repair the drive using disk utility (after booting from the OSX install disc) That MAY fix things, but if things are this bad, AND you are new on the machine and presumably don't have much work saved on it anyway, I'd just start anew.
    This is very unusual for a Mac. Typical reliability on my Mac's lets me keep some up and running without reboot for 6 months. Yours is definitely in a bad state.

  • Why does it take over 2 minutes to get a database connection from the DataSource?

    Hello,
    It is taking over 2 minutes for my application to get a connection from a registered DataSource in iAS 6.0 sp4 on Solaris. The proper results are returned it just takes 2 minutes to establish the connection. The DataSource is an Oracle 9i database. I have the 9i drivers in the classpath. I also have a registered datasource that is an Oracle 8 database and have no problems establishing a connection quickly to that database. As an aside I have setup this application on JBOSS and both datasource's return a connection very quickly. If anyone has any ideas about what might be going on please respond. This issue is holding up a production release.
    Here is the code:
    try {
    log.debug("getting a new initial context");
    ctx = new InitialContext();
    ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup(bundle.getString("IW_DATASOURCE"));
    log.debug("after looking up datasource from initial context");
    } catch (NamingException e) {
    log.error(e);
    throw new FinstarException
    (bundle.getString("E-0001"));
    try {
    log.debug("about to get connection");
    conn = ds.getConnection();
    log.debug("after getting connection");
    Produces this in the logs:
    2002-05-29 08:55:12,859 DEBUG org.mitre.mii.project.finstar.FinancialSummary - about to get connection
    2002-05-29 08:57:24,963 DEBUG org.mitre.mii.project.finstar.FinancialSummary - after getting connection
    Here is the datasource registration file:
    <ias-resource>
    <resource>
    <jndi-name>jdbc/pdc/IWDataSource</jndi-name>
    <jdbc>
    <database-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx.xxx.org:1521:acisdb</database-url>
    <datasource>jdbc/pdc/IWDataSource</datasource>
    <username>XXXXX</username>
    <password>XXXXX</password>
    <driver-type>OracleThinDriver</driver-type>
    </jdbc>
    </resource>
    </ias-resource>

    Have you tried to eliminate everything extraneous. In other words, do you experience the same delays with a simple Java program (no lookups, JNDI) that loads the drivermanager and creates a connection.
    Do you have access to a traciong JVM or some program that captures run-time execution timing information? Even without the source, this will tell you the specific class::methos where time is spent so you can better determine where the delay is ocurring.

  • Why does it take over ten minutes for email to get through for my request for a signature

    Why isn't this program faster? It's been over 20 minutes emailing a test form, to myself, to see how quick this is? Is this normal? Not what I was looking for in a software program

  • Does LabVIEW take over keyboard presses?

    I'm using a C api in my LabVIEW application through a call-library-function-node. I'd like to be able to gather keypress info in one of the functions in the DLL, but it seems like LabVIEW is hijacking the values gathered by the C function from the keyboard. Any info on this? Thanks!

    Thanks for all the replies! I'll respond in order:
    "Instead of a DLL, can you compile your code into an executable, and then call it with System Exec?"
    Haven't tried this yet. The reason I'm using a DLL is that I'm using an API for an out-of-the-box device (an eye-position tracker), and I've written several functions that I need to access, so it would be kind of a pain to write code for multiple executables, but I can do this if it comes down to it.
    "Is there a reason you don't want to monitor the keyboard in LabVIEW? Look at the Connectivity>Input Device Control palette."
    "Another way to monitor the keyboard or mouse in LV is to use an event structure. There are events and filter events for keyboard and mouse."
    Putting these two together since they have the same answer... Long story short, I can't, once the function I'm calling is triggered correctly, it's waiting for user-input on the keyboard and thus the input read by labview will go unnoticed (I tried this several different ways).
    "IIRC, CLNs execute in the UI thread.  It seems to me that if you use a CLN to call something that also is trying to access the UI thread, they could deadlock (but I have never tried this).  Could that be the issue?"
    I'm actually a novice C coder and self-taught labviewer, this sound super intriguing, EXPLAIN PLEASE!
    Finally, I'd like to mention that I have made a small amount of progress on my own with this issue. I believe that I need to create a window using something like the function CreateWindowEx, part of the native windows user interface functions, because when one creates a window, one also makes a process to handle events like user-input. I suspect that whatever process is created by labview to handle user input in the VI is rightly in charge of handling key-presses (I also suspect that creating an executable might get around this as well since the exe might create a process to handle UI), so it's more like my DLL is actually the one trying to hijack the key-presses, not the other way around. If this is so, I should be able to simply create a dummy window (drawing it off screen so I can still see all my front-panel stuff in LabVIEW)  to handle the UI and then kill it when I'm done. I'm trying to do this at present, but my novice C coder status is making it a bit slow going. I was hoping some LabVIEW engineer or somebody else might have dealt with this type of issue in the past and could simply send me some code to make it all a moot point...
    Again, thanks for all the replies and suggestions!

  • Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix?

    Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix? FIle> get info>won't let me choose >Open this file with CS6. Forces me to use CC 2014 Illustrator which I don't want because I am doing client work in CS6 that I own and I do not have time to try out the CC version.
    I also do not like the black interface in illustrator as I cannot even see the layer icon at the bottom. I won't want to buy it if this is all that's offered.

    You can change the UI brightness in the prefs. Otherwise I'm not clear what your issue is. Handling file associations are operating system basics and you can look them up on a simple web search and from drag&drop onto the launchpad/ dock icon for CS6 to opening the files directly from within AI there sure are enough alternatives, don't you think?

  • How long does it take to extract CS6?

    How long does it take to extract CS6? Mine has been extracting for over an hour.

    Did you manage to install? If its Master Collection it may take a while, but I don't think that it would take more than an hour.
    A lot of it depends on your computer, RAM, free space on disc etc so its diffult to say exactly how long it should take.

  • How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
    Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
    If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.
