Photoshop Photography Program incorrect price?!

Hello, to start off positive, I'm VERY happy that Adobe decided to make such a Photoshop Photography Program
Now, the negative: I'm irritated because, as usual, per the statements before the release it said that the price will be 9.99 USD for EMEA non-EU countries. In Switzerland it costs 14.04 CHF (Swiss Francs) which means ca. 15.37 USD. Switzerland is an EMEA non-EU country. The same was stated on the Swiss Adobe site (9.99 USD). Swiss VAT is 8.00%.
So per my calculation 9.99 USD + 8% = 10.7892 USD which is 9.86 CHF.
9.86 CHF to 14.04 CHF, that means I would be paying nearly 50% more than was stated.
If this is not how it Adobe works then they should, from now on, write European Union (including Switzerland) and EMEA non-EU (except Switzerland).
Here the offer from both sites:

Hi ray
I know this doesn’t really help you but Adobe have always used pricing differentials for each separate market, claiming that the cost of doing business is higher than in the US. So we have traditionally paid more in Europe vs. the dollar. Also Adobe delivers on-line products across Europe from the Republic of Ireland where VAT is charged at 23% not 8% as in Switzerland. It looks as though this latest offer allows qualifying customers to lock in a 50% discount compared with the single app pricing, whilst membership is maintained.

Photoshop Photography Program UK Price Increase

I have just received an email from Adobe about my Photography Program renewal: membership will automatically renew on 01-September-2014 (PT) at the price of 11.11 GBP, plus applicable Tax/VAT. I am currently paying 8.78 GBP per month.

Oh I wasn't forgetting VAT! I just focused on the pre-VAT value as I figured it was a better comparison with the US price (because they have a different tax system). Actually I just checked my last monthly payment and oddly they charged me VAT at around 18.7%, not the 25% Irish rate I've seen them use in the past. Anyway...!
I see that Adobe are still advertising the Photography Program at £8.78 (+VAT) on their website, so unless that's due to jump up imminently, they're charging new customers less (bearing in mind that this is, according to Adobe, no longer an "introductory offer"). Got me thinking: what's to stop someone cancelling at the end of the 12 months when their subscription is about to increase, and then just taking out a new one at £8.78 instead? Apart from the hassle, I don't see that there would be any problem in doing that?

Does Photoshop Photography Program include use of Typekit?

I subscribe to Adobe's Photoshop Photography Program and notice that the Creative Cloud desktop application indicates that I can turn Typekit on. However, it's not clear if Typekit is included in my subscription.
In the Creative Cloud FAQ I see this:
What is the Adobe Photoshop Photography Program offer?
This offer includes access to Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5, Lightroom mobile and web, plus feature updates and upgrades as they are available; 20GB of cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration; and Behance ProSite for your own fully customizable professional portfolio. That means you get all the benefits of a Creative Cloud single-app membership for Photoshop CC, but with Lightroom 5 and Lightroom mobile included as well, for a terrific monthly price.
In the Creative Cloud single-app overview I see this:
Creative Cloud single-app plans include:
Full version of one desktop application
20GB of cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration
Adobe Typekit library of fonts for use in desktop applications and websites
Behance ProSite
Limited access to services
This seems to suggest that Typekit is included in the Photoshop Photography Program with no additional costs. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi Wolf Eilers,
Thanks for your interest in Typekit! The Photoshop Photography Program includes a Typekit Trial plan, which allows you to sync a selection of fonts from the Typekit library to your desktop and use them on the web as well.
If you would like to have full access to all of the fonts in the Typekit library, you would need to upgrade to the Portfolio level. If you would like to do that:
1) sign in at https://typekit.com/login with your Adobe ID and password
2) visit typekit.com/plans, and select the "upgrade" option underneath Portfolio. Your Typekit plan upgrade will be billed separately from your Creative Cloud payments. The Portfolio plan is $49.99/year.
There are links from the Typekit plans page which show you the fonts that are included in each subscription level:
Pricing | Typekit
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,
-- liz

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.

Adobe Photoshop Photography Program offer

Adobe Photoshop Photography Program offer page says December 2 is the last date, while the "terms" say December 8 is the last date for registration. Which is correct?

Bev,
For the Photography Program offer still available until 31 Dec for existing CS3+ customers, I note the offer is stated as including LR5.
What happens when for example LR6 is released? i.e. within the Program, would I get that as replacement for LR5? Or is LR6 to be added as some incremental option (including potentially a price increment to the LR5 version of the Program)?
Thanks,
Mark W.

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.

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

Adobe CC and Photoshop Photography Program on the same computer.

Hi!
I'm currently using Adobe CC (very happy with it!). And I'm also about to install it on a laptop which the EULA allows. However my SO is thinking of signing on the Photoshop Photography Program on the very same laptop.
1. Is that possible? Does it involve switching users back and forward when she is working there and when I'm working there.
2. Or is it simply that she can use PS and LR on my installation if she buys the licence so we can use PS and LR simultaniously, get it? she buys the licence but doesn't need to install anything beacuse the software is already there?
Thanks!

The Elements 12 shortcut can't find the Elements12.0.exe file so the program will not load. I can load the editor from its .exe file but not the organizer.

I purchased and installed the Photoshop Photography Program last year but my computer crashed and now I need to re-install it again...can someone help?

Hi Sangeeta,
For a fresh download on a new hard drive, it's best to start with the CC desktop app. Sign into adobe.com and download it here: creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud
You can then launch the desktop, sign in and download PS & LR.

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

What file(s) do you want to associate with Shockwave Player?
SW player is a browser add-on, not a standalone player.
You can test it at http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

I have the Photoshop Photography Program and every time I try open Photoshop CC it asks me for a Serial Number. It keeps saying my trial period has ended. How can I get this working since Adobe doesn't issue Serial Numbers for CC.

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

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?

Hi BernardB,
You may switch the plans according to the requirements.
You may also refer to the link under "Upgrade Single app membership":

How to change from Photoshop CC to Photoshop Photography Program?

Is it possible for me to do this change? I don't mind to get tied for another year.
Please let me know. Thanks!
P/S: I saw some support staff has been helping to cancel the subscription for Photoshop CC and allow them to subscribe the Photography Program, can I have the same treatment as well? Thanks!

Well it’s not easy it seems. Some got help in two minutes others, like us, nothing?????
Perhaps it only works in the USA not in Europe?
Regards
Jean-Luc.
