This is from the Adobe Creative Cloud FAQ page ( ):ĭo I need ongoing Internet access to use my Adobe® Creative Cloud™ desktop applications?
Adobe only requires a once a month for license validation. They are downloaded and installed like any other desktop application. Septemat 11:34 you don’t have to stay connected continuously to use the apps. If you have already purchased Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop at the original price it will automatically be switched to the new cheaper price. We shall see I guess.ĭon’t forget, you MUST sign-up by December 31 st to get this bundle at a reduced monthly price. Adobe only stated that this is not an introductory price for previous owners, but didn’t go as far as saying “for life”. He is a very well-respected Photoshop educator, author, publisher of Photoshop User Magazine and president of the NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals). Kelby is someone I think, surely hope, we can trust. It wasn’t from Adobe, but it did help take the edge off that fear. One fear of mine was that Adobe could still jack-up the monthly fee in coming years at will, but I received an email today stating the $9.99 monthly fee is for life.
Yep, if you bought the most expensive full suite, you won’t qualify! That part sucks, and I feel for those owners/businesses.ĭespite this still being “rental” software, IMHO this is good news for many enthusiast photographers like myself. A caveat – you must be a previous owner of CS3 or higher, and unfortunately, owners of the Adobe Creative Suite products do not qualify. Don’t look for the deal yet though, it won’t show up on the Adobe CC site until the week of September 16 th. Adobe is calling this special bundle the “Photoshop Photography Program”. They also sweetened the offer significantly by adding Lightroom 5.2. During a recent Photoshop World conference in Las Vegas, Adobe announced a significant drop in the Photoshop-only $19.99 monthly fee to a $9.99 monthly fee.
