Why is Creative Cloud so expensive in Europe

I've watched the Adobe conference and as an amateur photographer I was exited by information that Creative Cloud for photographers can now offer 99.9% of people as it costs $9.99 + tax only. Adobe "forget" to say that in Europe this subscription plan still costs the same 13Euro which is about $18.

Adobe Inc sets the price for the US, the other international offices set prices to suit their region. Many reasons for price difference have been given, few if any are plausible in the eyes of customers. The key point here is, the debate as to why one should be relatively more expensive than others has been going on for years, and will likely do so for years to come. Nothing we as customers have said in the past has made the slightest difference. So, instead of asking why so expensive in Europe ask yourself is the european Cloud deal better than the european perpetual license. Then choose the one that you feel offers better value.

  • Wow, why does Creative Cloud suck so bad?   Why are there no FAQs in the Creative Cloud FAQ?

    I am new to Creative Cloud.   I found some PSD event poster templates on line and I would like to be able to download some of these templates to create event posters.   I have modest goals.  
    1) I found a link on the Adobe site for $9.99 monthly fee for photoshop + lightroom.   ok, seems reasonable to spend $10 for a month to see how it goes, I think
    2)  Once I get my CC account set up, there is no upgrade option or the $10 / month deal... only options are more expensive than $10 / month... but I can try it free for some time... ok I'll do that.  Hopefully, I will be able to do what I want to do with the free services?  
    3)  Install create cloud app on my computer
    4)  click on install photoshop...   after 20 minutes only 3% downloaded.   darn!   Looks like I am not going to be creating any flyers tonight!
    5)   Is there something wrong?   Maybe I have done something stupid (I mean besides signing up for CC)... lemme check the Creative Cloud FAQ.   Oh!   There are no questions in the Creative Cloud FAQ.   Excellent...
    It takes a special kind of talent to transform a potential customer who knows nothing about a product and turn that customer into a hater in one evening.
    I just want to say congrats!

    That's the page from which I started this troubled journey.  I clicked on "purchase"  and since I didn't have an account yet, it took me off to some other page to create an account, verify my email and all of that and then finally to a blank page... seemed like there was some delay from the time I created the account until the account became useable.   In the meantime I was continuously directed to a blank page every time I tried to log in.   After some time I was able to look at upgrade options, but the $10 offer was not one of my options.   Now, if I go back to the original page which had the $10 option and click on purchase, it seems like it is giving me the option to purchase.   The whole process seems very poorly designed and poorly executed.   Does the software work any better?
    In any case, what I am looking to do is download some of the cheap or low cost event poster templates on the internet and edit them to create my own event posters.    I am not sure which Adobe application I need to do this.
    Here is an example of the template
    thanks,

  • Why does Creative Cloud Desktop App invite me to Install a program that I already own?

    I am a recent subscriber to the Creative Cloud Photographers Program, which includes three programs: Photoshop, Bridge, and Lightroom.  When I launch the CC Desktop app, the "Installed Apps" section lists three programs:  Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (2014), and Bridge.  Lightroom appears under "Find New Apps" with a button that says "Install."  But Lightroom is already installed!  Why doesn't the CC desktop app list Lightroom under "Installed Apps" and why doesn't the button say "update?"  I am hesitant to press "Install" unless I am assured that it is safe to do so.
    Details: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
    Creative Cloud Desktop app Version 1.7.1.418
    Lightroom is 5.5

    Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately the URL you gave is a non-functional web page.  The chat button on Adobe's Contact Customer Care page is also non-functional.  I get the feeling Adobe doesn't want to chat, or maybe they went home for the weekend, so I came to the forum.

  • Why does Creative cloud cost 33% more in the UK than in USA?

    Creative cloud cost $49.99 per month in the US - which is the equivalent of £31
    In the UK Creative cloud cost £46.88 which is the equivalent of $73
    Sorry why are we charged so much more?
    It's the same service?
    Why?
    Looks like a rip off to me.

    Why does the starting price of a MacBook Air differ between the US and the UK. In the US, the price starts at $999, while in the UK it starts at £849 (or $1329.11) That is a 30%+ price difference.
    This is standard for most products and services that originate in the US. First, you have the added UK VAT which is not applicable in the US. Secondly, companies build in a larger margin for their products and services when currency exchange rates need to be factored in. Finally, they also add additional margins to cover the US corporate tax for repatriated income from sales overseas, a tax which is the highest in the industrialised world at over 45% on the net profit.
    So, all these factors make the price in the UK EQUAL to the price in the US in accounting and administrative terms.
    Three things need to change to balance the equation from an end user perspective.
    1. VAT must be eliminated. (This is an EU and UK HMR change...thus highly unlikely).
    2. You will need to be able to choose the currency. (This is something that Adobe can configure to allow the end user to elect what currency they wish to use to make the payment. If you have a UK credit card and elect to pay in US dollars, you will carry the burden of the exchange rate, not Adobe. Having said that, it all depends on how the cost centres of Adobe are set up for accepting multiple currency payments on a per-country basis. I am assuming they do not accept multiple currencies in different jurisdictions and as such, this would require a complete reorganisation of their accounting practices, which may impact their tax obligations, but certainly will impact their financial operations in general, so I believe this will be highly unlikely to change).
    3. The US corporate tax code needs to be simplified and modernised so as it is not a penalty on corporations for earning money abroad. With the current state of stagnation and a Democrat in the White house and a Democrat majority in the Senate, a snowflake in hell has a better chance than any movement on tax reform. The Democrat principles state that corporations are bad, evil and must be subjugated to draconian controls and taxes.

  • Why does Creative Cloud continue to ask me to update CC apps, when, they've been replaced by CC 2014 apps?

    This is silly. I don't understand why, when I installed the 2014 apps, that it didn't overwrite the CC apps. Why does it keep the CC apps? And, why does it continue to tell me to update them? I've actually uninstalled all three of them.
    Thanks.

  • Why did creative cloud install new 2014 software instead of updating the previous installed CC software to CC (2014)

    With the update to creative cloud and the new CC (2014) version, I am wondering why the old CC versions were not updated. The reason I ask is that I now have two versions of Photoshop CC, where one is the 2014 version.  I have the same with Premier Pro, Illustrator and muse.  Is it safe to uninstall the the CC versions or is it adviseable to keep both versions.

    Indeed, only preferences, presets and assets are being transferred.
    Also make sure to first start all the new apps before uninstalling the old ones if you wish to migrate your presets, aso.!
    btw. I just had to realize that Illustrator (WIN) doesn't seem to work properly anymore as because of unfixable registry issues, ID and PS are fine so if you are a Pro user with lots of plugins, presets, aso. it may be a good idea to keep the old versions for some time.

  • CS6 Perpetual License Only - so why a Creative Cloud Directory

    As the title mentions I am running CS6 with a perpetual license. Have never signed up for the CC version or any other product.
    So was a little surprised when trolling through my directories - bored sitting on a conference call - I discovered a Creative Cloud directory in the x86 file structure for Photoshop CS6. The directory is empty and it has the creation date of the last CS6 update. Now I did have problems getting the update installed took multiple tries and really not convinced it really took - but it works fine after a manual download. The thought that ran through my mind was the Adobe Installation Manager was messed up (not the first time) and really was trying to install the a CC version update. Hence the Creative Cloud Directory.  So is the normal?
    By the way the Creative Cloud directory does not show up in the x64 bit version
    mike

    You could be right - and if that is the case raises more questions and an ethics concern.
    The question would be - why only the x86 version and not the x64 version - which leads me down the path to believe that the Adobe Installation Manager is the culprit.
    But if true that the versions of CS6 and the Cloud version are the same with not only features being unlocked by the product key but also bug fixes - and this could lead one to believe that Adobe was using bug fixes as well as new features as an incentive to move to their subscription model - while new features are an OK incentive - bug resolution, in my mind, is not an ethical way of doing business, and I am sure Adobe's Cloud plan would not stoop that low

  • Why is Creative Cloud showing applications that are not installed?

    For some reason Creative Cloud is showing applications that I don't have installed as installed (see below).
    I posted the VERY frustrated question of "why won't Creative Cloud uninstall?" and was met with NOTHING useful, and ended up having to
    "manually uninstall" (delete the program folders) all of the programs I didn't want including CC, which I then re-installed.
    The programs that I don't have installed below are: inDesignCC, PhotoshopCC, IllustratorCC, InCopyCC, and Bridge.
    I was able to run the Adobe Cleaner on Indesign CC and Bridge, but nothing else.
    Does anyone know why I can't get rid of the rest?

    CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed
