  Finally! I was considering their subscriptions for awhile, but it was close to $40 per application, so that would mean spending almost $200/month to use the suite. Now that it's $50 for the whole thing, it makes perfect sense (especially because I only need it for side freelancing).

  • Me too, seems like a really good price point, and you get 20G of cloud space...i want to see more details– rusty_ace

  I think a lot of enterprise software licensing is eventually going to go this route.

  There's nothing in this article about the nitty-gritty of the 'flexibility' of the Creative Cloud. My guess is that it would utilize a token-based system where you exchange a token for the service(s) you require. The only problem with this is that tokens are ultimately limited because you only get so many of them to use at a time - and that's the catch 22.

  So, this means you need to pay a whole year in advance to get that price, right?

  The day is coming that you won't own anything you pay for, you'll just lease it and EULAs will leave you high and dry when things go wrong.

  I think they've been pushing up the price of upgrades so that this will look like a better option to us. I like owning the software. There probably are benefits to the cloud, like getting ongoing updates. But if you were comfortable with the features of an older version of the app you didn't need to keep paying.

  • I'm running Cs5.5, but it's so bloated and slow. I remember when illustrator was fast.– Josev1/2

  If this is what I think it is (I haven't gone over the fine print) it's perfect for me. I want to be legal but I don't have that kind of money at the moment.

  I teach a night class at my old Alma mater so I'm eligible for Student teacher discounts. $400 for Design Premium :-D

  I'd rather own the software too but this does sound pretty good.

  interesting, $600 per year to lease or $2k for a 'cycle' and own it...

  • I would assume you would not have to buy the software again, and again.– dibec1/8

    aka upgrades. so it may work out financially the same.– dibec2/8

    and now with the .5 updates arriving almost yearly, $600 sounds much better then 2k– rusty_ace3/8

    that's assuming you NEED to be on the latest version of the thing, most people don't– ernexbcn4/8

    agreed, this sounds pretty decent. you don't really 'own' software anyway if i recall...– prophetone5/8

    Has there ever been a .5 CS release before? I don't think so.– CyBrainX6/8

    CS2, CS2.3...– popovich7/8

    Yes. CS 5.5 was a paid upgrade.– Gucci8/8

  I really don't understand the need to own a version of software...what does it gain you to own a physical copy, of outdated code, stored on a disk, that is just collecting dust and wasting space.

  • You have to upgrade at some point, yes. But there are users who work on old versions because they see no value in the latest features.– Josev1/2

    the latest features and upgrades.– Josev2/2
