Moving from Creative Cloud to retail software. Will there be updates offered?

The company and I will be leaving the Creative Cloud in the next few days. When Adobe has stabilized the "cloud" and can offer a stable platform we will try again, but right now, from a business stand point, there are just too many "glitches" with the system. The software Ps/Dw/Lr/Pr/Il and Acrobat seem to work fine so we will be upgrading our individual copies of those.
There have been rumors from customers, Adobe Experts and Adobe customer service that retail software, meaning software purchased individually and not as part of the cloud will not be receiving updates and only the software from the "cloud" will receive these updates. I'm not talking about UPGRADES I'm taking about updates and bug fixes.
Can an Adobe rep either confirm or deny these rumors, please? Can I get a link to Adobe's official policy on this please? The Customer Service people I've talked to so far do not know what the policy is and it seems that they cannot find out the policy. Speaking with "people in the know" at the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, they are also unable to provide a definitive answer on this policy.
Since Adobe's current policy concerning the cloud allows individuals to cancel before 30 days; if cancelling the cloud after 30 days Adobe will still collect 50% of the yearly subscription, I think it is only reasonable for Adobe to be forth coming with this answer prior to May 8, 2012.

I cannot offer you the precise, official, definitive answers or links you're seeking but my layman's understanding of Cloud vs perpetual licensed products is that both will receive bug fixes and security updates (dot releases) when available.
However Cloud customers will have access to new or improved software features earlier than perpetual licensed customers. Perpetually licensed customers will wait until CS7.

  • Can't access software from creative cloud-says license software???

    I am a creactive cloud user, but when I try to use my software it  say "your trial has expired" I am  logged in, but the only option it gives me is "License this software" what is the deal I am VERY frustrated!

    What happens when you click on "License the software"? Does the application launch or you get any activation error?
    Try clicking on "License the software" and it should work fine. If not, tell us the error message.
    Which application are you trying to open?

  • Moving from Creative Cloud LR 5 trial version to the purchased version?

    I'm currently in the trial period for Lightroom 5, but I went ahead and bought the full version on a CD. I can't locate where to enter the serial number to move out of the trial version??

    Sadly you can't enter the standalone version's serial number into the CC trial version.
    You'll need to uninstall the CC version and then install the standalone one, 
    The version you have on disk will not be the latest version so best to go to one of these links and download the latest one which will accept your serial number.

    Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

    the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs).  but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
    click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

  • Accessing multiple PSD layers in Adobe Photoshop Touch from Creative Cloud is important to me.

    Accessing multiple PSD layers in Adobe Photoshop Touch from Creative Cloud is important to me. When will Touch be updated with this function? Want the ability to view multiple layers the same way Creative Cloud website can. Having the ability to turn multiple layers on an off in Touch from and uploaded PSD file. As it stand Touch flattens imported Layered PSD files. (Not very useful)

    Hi Bford225,
    I moved your post over to the Photoshop Touch forum because it seemed mostly about Photoshop Touch.
    Currently, I'd recommend converting RAW images to Jpeg in either Photoshop or Lightroom and then uploading them to Creative Cloud for working with them in Photoshop Touch. I know raw support is something our developers are considering so please add your vote here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1227
    How you best incorporate Photoshop Touch into your workflow is hard to say. What works best for one person may not be true for everyone. Photoshop Touch obviously doesn't have all the capabilities of its desktop counterpart but it does have the ease of use and portability of being on a tablet. Personally, I like using Photoshop Touch for editing images taken with the iPad or my iPhone for convience versus transferring to transfer to the computer, or even if I still do, I can do some of the initial edits from the tablet first. Its nice when I only have the tablet available and not a computer. For images I take with my DSLR I always do my editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. I'm able to make any adjustments on the computer much faster than on a tablet.
    If you have the option to shoot in both Jpeg and RAW that might be good option (best of both worlds). Do you have the ability to import images from the camera without using a computer - using a camera connectivity kit or something like that? My recommendation would be expermentation, test out different workflows on the tablet and see how you like it and find what works best for you.

  • Applications missing from Creative Cloud Desktop application

    If you are unable to locate a specific application then it is likely the computer you are using does not meet the current system requirements.  In the following example you can see that After Effects and Premiere Pro are missing from the list of available applications.
    When I look at the System information for my Windows installation I am informed that I have a 32-bit version of Windows 8.
    This means that I will be unable to install Premiere Pro or After Effects as my current computer does not meet the minimum system requirements.  You can find a list of Creative Cloud system requirements at Adobe Creative Cloud – Tech specs.
    For additional information please see Not all apps displayed for download | Creative Cloud desktop app, Adobe Application Manager.
    If you have confirmed that your computer meets and exceeds all of the listed System requirements then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.

    Hi Jeff,
    I have a lot of problems. First og all the system will not accept my account and even I have downloaded CPLauncher and can see the software, I will not genereate password. Nothing works, and if do not, I have to stop paying, because my boss are a little angry.
    He says: We pay and it do not work. Find other software. We can’t afford you sitting doing nothing. If Adobe makes such a software that causes us trouble, we will change to something else, we do not need Aobe for our projects.
    So Jeff – The software are very complicated, it can run, It can’t genereate license,  and on top of all this, I have to defend Adobe. Well – I will not. I have been fighting in 3 weeks and this week is the last. Monday morning I will stop using Adobe coud and stop my membership.

  • Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture?

    Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture? I know that Captivate is not offered but are there other software applications available that do the same job? I am not wanting to make tutorials but I am a filmmaker wanting to integrate sequences with screen capture (which I will edit on Premiere)

    Thanks Brian,
    Spent some time yesterday doing research on this. There are good reviews and bad reviews for just about every screen capture application out there it seems.
    The top-ten reviews gave their gold medal to CamVerce, which I'll probably buy today.
    http://video-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
    Yesterday I bought the Sonne Screen video which is rated 5th on the top-ten site. (I figured as I'm going to be editing on premiere I shoudn't need to pay for extra editing packages and as I'm not using it to create tutorials I really just want a good quality screen capture for Windows 8). However, I'm not really happy with the image quality on playback and I'm finding the technical assistance really poor from Sonne. I still haven't received an email confirmation from them.
    The others that I thought sounded right for me were WM Capture (though the top-ten review had a few negative things to say about it).
    Tried a couple of the free ones also. EZvid is very popular.
    Will see how I go and let you know. I'm sure this is very subjective and I'm probably not being as clear as I need to be about purpose of use.

I have followed the instructions provided in the error above which says to uninstall the previous Edge Preview and restart the machine.

  • How do I launch Lightroom 5.3 from Creative Cloud?

    I downloaded and installed Lightroom 5.3 from Creative Cloud.  I have been trying for 4 days to launch Lightroom.  Each time I try,Adobe asks for a serial number or wants to know if I want to try Lightroom 5.3 for 30 days.  I use an iMac 10.9.1.file:///Users/cawhet1/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202014-02-18%20at%207.55.37%20PM.png.

    Hi Crystal
    I believe there have been a good number of similar instances affecting CC users. It’s worth checking your purchase history to ensure you are properly subscribed. Go to Adobe.com and near the top right of the page log-in to My Adobe, unless you are already logged-in; in which case it will say welcome next to your name.
    Click on My Orders and this should show your latest invoicing. You can expand each section by clicking the small disclosure triangle icon to the left of each date.
    Then click on My Products and Services. Under the products section, which sometimes takes a few seconds to refresh, you should find Lightroom and if you expand the details it should contain an automatically generated serial number.
    The only suggestion I have is to Launch Lightroom again and if you see the trial screen click on licence this product and enter the serial number.
    It should not really be necessary with a CC app but let us know if that works.

  • Accidentally deleted Adobe Acrobat XI Pro from Creative Cloud account - how to reinstall?

    I have an Adobe Creative Cloud account and it will not allow me to reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI because it thinks it is updated. However, I accidentally uninstalled it, trying to prevent it from over-riding an older Adobe Acrobat install I had. I now need to reinstall it.
    How can I get the Adobe updated to recognize that Adobe Acrobat is not installed? I've had it recheck several times over the last 2 months.
    The Adobe site will not download it, even though I select the "download" button, nor will the Creative Cloud account installer.

    Shut down Acrobat and any Creative Cloud application before doing this procedure.
    1    Rename caps folder.
              a.  Using the Finder menu Go>Go to Folder.
              b.  In the "Go to Folder" window put the following path:  /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
              c.  Rename the folder named "caps" at this location to something else (i.e. OLD_caps):
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    2    Install Acrobat from within the Creative Cloud application.
    3    Rename new caps folder.
              a.  Using the Finder menu Go>Go to Folder.
              b.  In the "Go to Folder" window put the following path:  /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
              c.  Rename the folder named "caps" at this location to something else (i.e. NEW_caps):
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    4 Rename the OLD_caps folder back to "caps"
    5 Now you should be good.
    *Note:  The "caps" folder contains the files that the Creative Cloud application reads to show what IS and IS NOT installed.

  • Trouble with Adobe Acrobat Pro installation from Creative Cloud

    When I attempt to install Adobe Acrobat Pro from Creative Cloud, it will always fail on the first attemp. If I retry, it installs it. Then, when I open a pdf document, the application quits in seconds. I get a modal window with the license agreement. However, it is blank and the pull downs are empty. I hit a dead end.
    This is so aggravating; especially when Adobe is charging me for my membership every month.
    What gives? Can someone help with this?
    Brian

    Brian which operating system are you using?  Do you receive any specific errors during the installation process?  If you are using a Windows operating system then please uninstall Acrobat using the Programs and Features control panel.  Once done then please try using the Acrobat Cleaner Tool available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.
    Also you mentioned that the EULA window is blank you may also want to see Blank EULA screen appears on Acrobat XI launch - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/blank-eula-screen-appears-acrobat.html.  Solution 2 is not likely to be relevant unless you are using an operating system not currently supported by the Creative Cloud Desktop application.
