just take the file on their cloud back to your own drive and you're fine.
a .psd is a .psd- the cloud doesn't remove the files from your drive...evermonospaced

As I understand it, when you cancel your account, you have a grace period of 30 days to still use the software to open files.

"if you stop paying you can no longer open your files."
what are you talking about??
I just cancel my account last week and everything is fine.

Creative Suite 6 - £799 - £1200
Creative Cloud - £46 × How many months you work for the rest of your career assuming the cost doesn't increase which it will and if you stop paying you can no longer open your files.- That's cheap for CS6. I just checked and it goes for 2600€-3600€ in France.

I've moved away from thinking about a CC membership, but lately realized I have a decent amount of work soon that could benefit from upgrading from Illustrator CS3 to CS6. Cost is $249. The site shows that I can still upgrade from CS3.
Thought about InDesign upgrade eventually, but looking at the site, it looks like you can only upgrade from CS 5 or CS5.5 for InDesign. I only have CS3. Anyone know if they recently cut some old versions from upgrade eligibility?
My thought is, the CS6 versions of anything are likely to work great for me for a number of years.

I'd feel uncomfortable uploading my photoshopped boobie pics into the Adobe cloud.

I'm just upgrading from CS6 to CC - when I install through the Creative Cloud panel it doesn't give me the option to select either the 32 or 64 bit versions. If I'm on a 64 bit platform, does it install that by default?

I actually think it would be cool to have a stand-alone Cloud app that would act as an interface to files you store on the web. Kinda like Bridge, or even incorporated into it. I would love to have a great, searchable, taggable database of my online files and be able to choose which ones are automatically updated online when I save. Something like that in addition to the web interface, something that can interact with local files as well.

I just wish the Creative Cloud web interface (Files) was more user-friendly. I should be able to drop a file structure into it and have it translate, for example. Or select a set of files to download instead of one at a time.
- I assume it's all a WIP. Just having the subscription model alone is a big step in the right direction, I'm sure the web interface will improve over time.Continuity

- What's WIP? Yeah, it's a great idea and it's helped me many times already. Can't wait for ugrades.monospaced

Cloud is great. I like how updates happen easily

anyone have experience how well creative cloud works if your wifi is flaky, or if you're in a place with no internet for a while?
(i.e. does it let you download some run-time and use it productively?)
- The app isn't on the cloud. You download it like a normal app and install it.fyoucher1
- it's just a fucking ftp as far as I can tell, ftp with a pretty face on a websitemonospaced

I'll wait for the crack to come out.

I assume when you use Cloud, you don't need to necessarily save your work to their server, and can save your work on your machine and work from there as normal?
- yes, works as normalmonospaced
- you just toss 'em in the cloud when you're donemonospaced
- Cool, thanks man.
I might actually look into this ...Continuity

Wow, switching to The Creative Cloud opens up a huge number of new options.
What are some new tools you've found yourself using on Creative Cloud that you didn't use before?

I have it (cloud) and it works great.
Upgrades from cs3 and cs4 at the reduced rate are only available to the end of the year. From then on it will be cs5+ only to get the special intro price.
Only thing that it lacks are a team package where you could buy multiple subscriptions as a single user. At the moment it's one license per user which could be improved upon.

And as far as I've figured, the "cloud" just means they allow you to use their site like an FTP. It's not like you "work" from the cloud in any sense of the concept except to pull a file remotely, I suppose. I have asked this here before, but am I missing something?

- Right. Just asking if there's anything else to the "cloud" besides manual file storage.monospaced

Month-to-month it's $75/month USD. The $29 only applies to people who bought the last version or something, or education discount.

It's $50/month USD if you get a year's subscription. This is what I do and I love it.
