Cloud enthusiasts – something to think about.

[Tom Daigon]

Greg. I get your POV. As long as you trust that once your hooked (need to be activated all the time) they dont raise the rates.

Maybe they wont be greedy like cable companies or gas stations or phone companies…or maybe they will. At that point you have little recourse.

Thanks for the 10 buck correction. I have made that change when posting on Twitter about the charges.

So tell me Mike, will I be able to get a perpetual license when I upgrade/purchase CS Next/CS7.

Please let us know since it of great concern to many customers. You could put many minds at rest by letting us know what our options are.

Heres the corrected version of the 1 year contract rate. $49.95

Adobe Cloud enthusiasts.Consider this.

Now- 29.95 monthly. Special offer.
Soon 49.95-signed year contract/ 74.95-monthly
Future- 89.95? 99.95?

Once you buy in you have no choice but continue to pay or be deactivated.

This is how it currently stands with the Cloud. No other options mentioned anywhere yet. Soon, hopefully.

I don’t have a different response than what anyone else has given you when you have asked before, which is that we havent announced pricing and availability yet.

When we have more details on the release, we will post them in the normal ways (i.e. press, social, website, etc…).

Hope that helps…

nice try but they will not answer. though i think it will be stupid for them to cancel the uograde for perpetual lic. its not beyond the posibility.

Yeah, well I thought I would give it a shot.I doesn’t surprise me that I haven’t gotten a response.

[Mike Chambers] “we havent announced pricing and availability yet.”

come on. could we give him a break? That we is the corporate we. He can’t just go spitballing the nature of the licensing system a month in advance for a major revision that they’ve got a whole “next” branding thing around.

CC is very important to adobe as a reliable future profit generator – everyone is very focused on setting out the stall for it. good luck to them.

like I say, if we enter bizarro world and adobe choose to nuke the licensing model covering 80% of their current customers – seriously everyone please read that aloud and consider how likely it sounds – but if they did make that zany leap, I will formally eat some part of a hat.

The only thing that calms me is that I doubt they will do anything to pissoff the hundreds of thousand perpetual lic. users. Most new cloud users on the forum are new users or want to try it out. Can a companay be so stupid to screw their user base? (dont say the obivious because i think that apple did on purpose to go for a different segment of profesional.)

Hey Tom,

I get your point too. I guess my recourse would be to switch to whatever software is good at the time. Just remember a few years ago, Avid was on top and Final Cut pro came in and cleaned up. If Adobe decided to get greedy, some other company would come out with a cheaper/better solution. I’ve worked on Media100, Avid, Final Cut pro, and now Adobe. I really have no loyalty to software. It’s whatever is affordable and works at the time. Currently it seems to be Premiere Pro. I really like how Adobe seems to be listening to it’s customers. Avid, Media100 and Apple, never seemed to be good at that. As evidenced by the fact someone from Adobe responded to this thread.
