To buy or Rent

Hi, I have a couple different questions.  I am trying to decide between buying Light Room or doing the monthly subscription to Light Room and Photoshop.  I do like the Idea of having Photoshop at my disposal, but am curious if it's necessary.  Also, I need to have my editing software on two seperate computers.  does this mean that I have to buy two seperate licenses?  Lastley, is there a difference between the student/teacher version and the normal version?

when LR6 comes out, it'll be a free upgrade vs whatever the cost is for an upgrade.
I wouldn't call paying $9.99 per month a free upgrade.  Based on an average release cycle of 19 months between previous Lightroom versions it will cost you £189.81 for the Photoshop Photography Programme verses $149 for Lightroom 5 plus £79.00 per version upgrade
Of course there are numerous other factors that need to be taken into account such as
Is having Photoshop available to use in addition to Lightroom worth £110.81 per upgrade cycle
How long is Photoshop Photography Programme going to remain at  $9.99 per month
Will the next version of Lightroom be subscription only
Are you happy providing Adobe with your Credit Cards details
Are there non subscription options such as Photoshop Elements that would suit your needs
You would have no software if you decided to end your subscription for any reason
Do you need mobile Lightroom
It's the second and forth reasons are the main stumbling blocks for me at the moment, but the decission is yours

    you have a different issue then, sounds like your appletv cannot get access to the internet.

    there's no point emailing apple, as the issue is most likely internal to your network and not a fault with the appletv.

    that would have no affect on the appletv being able to access the internet.

    My apple id is set on France app. Store, how can I buy or rent a movie from the American store??!

    You are very welcome.  I lived in France for a couple years and wish I could buy books from the French bookstore but cannot so am very familiar with this issue.
    Part of the problem is concerned with international copyright laws.

  • Learning Essbase and Planning - Buy or Rent a Server?

    Hi All,
    If I was planning on learning Essbase and Planning, would it be better to buy or rent a server? I renting is a better option, which companies would you recommend?
    I'm planning on installing some mail servers and issue tracking websites on the server as well.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nathan

    When you say renting, do you mean in the cloud or do you mean short term leasing and having the server on site (your office, your house, etc.)?
    I'm doing (almost) all of my 11.1.2 puttering about in Amazon Web Services using a prebuilt machine image from Full360.com. No, I do not work for either company. No, they do not pay me to mention their name.
    If you're planning on doing installs and infrastructure work, you likely don't want the Full360 AMI. When I do infrastructure, the resutls aren't pretty, so for me a prebuilt and tested AMI with the full 11.1.2 stack is worth the monthly cost.
    What I like about AWS (and I suppose any cloud offering) is that I only pay for what I use and I can scale CPU, memory, and drive space as needed. I won't deny that there's been a learning curve to it but for the most part it's not been bad. If I can just get someone to show me how to set up SSL so I can securely connect in, I'll be 100% happy.
    I thought a lot about buying a big desktop/workstation and then accessing that but I travel all the time -- I'd have to open up a hole in my home firewall, always have the desktop running, etc., and in the end thought that was too much hassle.
    Just my $0.02.
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour
    P.S. Shameless plug -- I'll be co-presenting this at Kaleidscope in Long Beach this year and will go into depth about how much pain/joy I've received from this approach.

  • HT1657 Do I have the option to buy a rented  movie?

    Do I have the option to buy a rented movie? In other words can I preview it by renting it first, then purchase it at the original purchase price minus the rental fee?

    No, if you decide to buy it (assuming that it's available to buy in your country) then you will pay the full purchase price, there isn't a discount for having rented it

  • HT204411 if im flying to australia and i want to watch a movie from itunes is it better to buy or rent?

    If I'm flying overseas and I want to watch a movie on my Ipad is it better to buy or rent?

    You can pause it as many times as you want. You can also replay it if within the allowed time period
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library

  • Buy VS Rent on Apple TV

    Okay so I have a huge question. Why am I paying retail prices for movies and getting horrible encoding. At least with a physical disc (which is the same price) I can rip it off at least with the 5.1 Surround Sound and with a MUCH MUCH better encoding. But if I buy a released one from Apple it's only in ipod format. Which is great if I wanted to watch it in stereo on an itty bitty screen. So Apple what's up with this? Why no HD love to the buyers? and why am i pigeon holed into buying when really I want to rent new releases?
    I don't get the Apple Media experience at all anymore, before it was buying a small selection of movies, then it's rental of a large section of movies, now it's buying only at retail physical disc prices with no rental option of new releases. How many personalities are at the wheel here?

    What content is available and what you can do with that content is controlled by the rights holders, the studios. So, in a sense, yes, there are many personalities at the wheel.

  • HT1657 Can i buy a rented movie?

    No

  • Unable to buy or rent movies

    Hello,
    I wanted to rent a movie today but was unable to do so - every single movie's rent or buy option was grey, but everything else TV-series, music etc was available. How can I fix this?
    Thanks
    Tom

    Thanks; I just wanted to confirm that you were using a recent version. Some people have been running iTunes 7 and finding that they couldn't connect to the iTunes Store or that some functions didn't work.
    Sorry, I don't have any immediate suggestions. Perhaps someone else here will have an idea.
    Regards.

  • Where to buy or rent IDS appliance for CCSP?

    Hi All,
    I am currently studying for the CCSP, I have taken 3/5 exams and have CSIDS and SAFE to complete. I am working on the CSIDS and would like to be able to work with the command line. I would like to purchase or rent a unit for little money (if that's possible). I would hate to go into the exam without having actual hands-on experience. Has anyone had this problem and know where I may find a solution?

    Your best bet is eBay unless someone makes an IDS simulator.
    I did a search on google, and I really don't think anyone makes an IDS sim. There's plenty of router sims, but nothing for IDS.
    These are not cheap devices. Additionally, there are licensing agreements. I don't think you'll find anyone who will "rent" an IDS to you. If you can find someone, best of luck and give me their contact information :-)
