Question About Creative Cloud in a Family Setting

My wife and I both use Adobe products. I'm more of a casual user of programs like Illustrator and Flash, whereas whe's an artist and uses mostly Photoshop like a fiend. Honestly, she's got PS open 8 hours a day, actively.
If I subscribe to Cloud, can we use the same account? Can I use, say, Illustrator while she's using Photoshop?
Or am I going to have to buy 2 subscriptions?
Thank you!

Per http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html:
On how many computers may I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
You can install the desktop applications 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 instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.

Management needs to address this question about Creative Cloud subscriptions

Hopefully there is a satisfactory solution for this question. Then and only then will I feel comfortable giving Creative Cloud a try. I own Production Premium CS5.5 and Design Premium CS6. In addition I have stand alones of Photoshop CS5.1, Premiere Pro CS6, Acrobat Pro 9, Lightroom 4 (2 copies) and probably another package I'm not thinking about right now. If I convert to Creative Cloud and two years from now when CS7 or possible CS8 is the current version and I decide end my subscription to Creative Cloud reverting back to the disk version ownership, I will be required to pay additional money because I didn't keep my disk ownership current. I used to upgrade my Production Premium Suite every other version. I owned CS4 in that suite and when CS5.5 was released, I was required to pay an additional $250 (if memory is correct) because I hadn't upgraded to Version CS5. I think that subscribing to Creative Cloud should not open me up to my license being devalued because I chose the subscription (at essentially the same price for what I use) over buying the disk. Adobe, will you comment on this situation and add it to management discussions to assure faithful customers we won't have our current licenses put into jeopardy?

I like the idea of Creative Cloud but subscribing to it for a mandatory 1-year is binding.
Thare are two joining options: monthly (higher monthly fee) or 12 month contract, billed monthly(lower monthly fee)

And after the one year, do you go on a month-to-month or do you have to sign on for another year? I'm sure that's in the fine print someplace but I haven't noticed it.
Auto-renewed unless you cancel.

At the end of my annual membership, what do I need to do to renew it?
If you would like to renew your annual membership for another year, you do not need to do anything. Your account is set to auto-renew so that you will not experience any interruption in access to your Creative Cloud products and services.
How do I cancel my one-year membership?
To cancel a one-year membership, you can either go online to the Account page on www.creativecloud.com or contact Adobe Customer Service. If you cancel your membership before meeting the 12-month commitment date, you will be charged 50% of the remaining amount left on your contract.

I hope a lot more people ask the question and do as I'm doing, not buy into Creative Cloud until a satisfactory solution is arrived at. I like the looks of the CC package and I think it has value but not at the loss of value for my Creative Suite.
Not sure you'll get a definitive answer to that before CS7 arrives.
And you'll need a CS6 perpetual license in order to upgrade to CS7.
So I suspect a CS6 purchasing/upgrading decision (Cloud or traditional upgrade) will have to be made based on the info currently available.

Question about Creative Cloud Support

I believe I still have about 20 days left of the original support that came with my subscription to Creative Cloud. How do I use that support? I don't think I've talked to support other than in the product help questions yet. I also need to find out what type of support I should buy after that runs out. I'm a designer who has started building websites with Muse. I am also trying to understand Business Catalyst hosting. "Thank you", in advance!

certifies the Domain, or is that for GoDaddy to do?
Not clear on what you mean by certify the domain? If you mean purchase and register a domain, then yes, you can do it with GoDaddy
    - can direct me to the web Business Registration site. Is there a cost for web B.Registration?
Again, not sure what web business registration you are referring to?
- can generate or provide a SSL certified domain certificate for use on my client's web-site?
Yes, all BC sites use a shared certificate under the worldsecuresystems.com domain.
- provides SEO, and what exactly does that include?
Business Catalyst has all of the SEO features such as Meta tags, SEO friendly URLS, etc.
    - has custom targeted lists available for different industries & businesses in your e-mail marketing program?
Absolutely. BC has a great email marketing setup. It does what you mention and more ....
- has a way to e-mail the support department directly? Or communicate in a way other than chat? I am new to web-stuff. I've been a Marketing/Advertising/Print designer/production guy for 30 years.
      (I remember squeeky marker & chalk layouts, and keylining!)
There is an additional support forum for paid partners as well as faster track to Live Chat and second level support.
- can tell me how to become a partner. I don't want to pay a thousand dollars. But I have at present, 4 sites I will be doing. I would guess I'd be an "individual" or "developer".
You can become a Free partner. It doesn't have all the extra support features and many of the perks though. Any paid partner such as myself can send you a promo code for a small 5% discount on a paid partnership as well.
If you have already created a BC site, you are already a Free Partner. Go to anyone of your BC sites you created and add /partnerportal to the address. Example; mysite.businesscatalyst.com/partnerportal
Login with your ID that you used when creating the sites. You can access all of your sites from that one location.
Hope that helps!

Questions about Creative Cloud

Hi
I bought Lightroom 5 from a retail store maybe a year or so ago and I have had that set up on my computer and it serves me great and I love it. However it has come to my attention that I need photoshop as well.
I'm a bit confused by the set up of creative cloud. I am able to use my desktop app for Lightroom without needing to pay annually or monthly, but if I pay for creative cloud monthly or annually, once that term is up will it stop me from accessing the desktop app?
Is there a way I can pay for Photoshop outright, with out needing to subscribe to monthly or yearly terms
Thanks

The current Photoshop is by subscription, so when you stop paying the program stops working
If a 3+ year old version works for you, go to Creative Suite 6 for a one time payment

This is a MacBook Pro 15" (Model number A1286) running Mavericks. Hard drive is fine but system software has been corrupted. I cannot simply restore from Time Machine as it will copy the corrupt system.
Will I have to find all of my serial numbers before I can launch any of the programs?
Thanks

For the Cloud, you log in to your paid Cloud account and download & install the same way you did the first time

Simple question: Are Creative Cloud apps currently or will be compatible with the new Amazon Fire phone? My friend owns one and says since it's a fairly new operating system that nothing is compatible except the Amazon apps. Is this correct and does Adobe plan to support that OS in the future?

If that uses the Android operating system, anything for Android works

As far as future plans, I don't work for Adobe so have no idea

Concerns about Creative Cloud

I'm concerned about installing After Effects render nodes on a render farm once Creative Cloud becomes ubiquitous.

Check the AE forum. Todd Kopriva answered that question in one of the threads.

CReative Cloud Premiere Pro Family CS6 not downloading Premiere but it says it's installed

I've run the AAM install for most of the programmes from Creative Cloud, including Premiere Pro Family CS6. However, Premiere Pro is not showing as an app downloaded alongside the other packages on my hard drive (although Encore is). How can I get Premiere Pro installed from Creative Cloud?

Hi Jayne,
I would try uninstalling it from
Control Panel > Programs & Features (Windows 7)
Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
and then reinstalling it
