[Aindreas Gallagher] “that is a lot of monopoly. The creative cloud show was – and remains – a PR construct masking forced customer subscription.”
That is not a monopoly. That is people obstinately refusing to use anything other, even as they bash Adobe with all the hatred they can muster.
It’s a strange dichotomy, almost like those who return to Apple time and time again, paying to be beta testers and grudgingly accepting whatever they give them.

Almost every time I need a particular font for a client, it’s not in Typekit!

One leads a charmed life if hanging on the phone for an afternoon to get something fixed is the ultimate injustice.
It was just a PR product announcement and demo, people. Relax, sit down, have a sandwich, drink a class of milk, do some f-in’ thing, eh?

I’m not quite following how this works yet. I have the photoshop deal. So I open up the creative cloud app and click update on the Photoshop CC (2014) icon.
Now that it’s done my undertanding is I should now have 2 seperate Photoshop CC applications on my computer. Is that correct? If so where is the new one hiding? Search program and files didn’t bring it up and it’s not hiding in the usual Adobe Program Files (x86) folder.
So I assume the old icon is the new app but it doesn’t seem to have motion blur gallery or any of the new additions. Could someone explain it to me? I’m feeling dumb.

[Dominic Deacon] “Adobe Program Files (x86)”
It wouldn’t be in there, that’s for 32-bit software.

Ahh right you are Sir. Found it.

In the past, with the Final Cut Studio, I would simply rename my app file with a unique name so that the new installer would simply create a new file and NOT delete the old one. I did this with the CS series too. I ALWAYS ran both the old version and the new updated version, at least for a while.
In fact, I just deleted all CS 5.1 versions from our computers today as we upgrade to Mavericks.
Isn’t the renaming workflow viable with the CC versions? In other words, by simply renaming the old app file will the new installer create a new app file? Then you could run both and dip your toes into the new stuff without breaking the tried and true installation so you can get work done!

CC 2014 installs as a new application — no renaming required. It does not replace the previous installation of CC, and you can run both.

Really, Scott. It’s only software? I think you just called me out as a troll. What’s the rational there, Ace?

[Gary Huff] “That is not a monopoly.”
for starters it is Gary – AE PS ILLUS and ID represent massive market specific monopolies – if you don’t think those effective monopolies are informing board level decisions on forced subscription then I have a bridge to sell you.
[Gary Huff] “That is people obstinately refusing to use anything other”
none of us have any form of market level client realistic alternatives available. The problem is that we know it, and adobe know it very well.
that is why they just stripped all license ownership from nine million people and set about engaging remote DRM licensing for local software you previously owned and now are asked to rent.
this is not rocket science.
