There WILL be a Premiere Pro CS7!!

[Richard Cardonna]

this is great to hear providing that the perpetual license has the same upgrades that the cloud has. the cloud idea to is only good for me only if i need an extra seat of cs7 but only as long as i have my perptual version.

I don’t know what the concern is about upgrades. I own a perpetual license of CS6 Master Collection, and I’m constantly getting updates to it through my online connection – I hesitate to call it The Cloud, because I own a hard license, and purchased discs. I get the same updates anyone else would as they come available. I just check periodically – usually from Bridge – to make sure I have the latest updates, and if I haven’t, Adobe pushes the information at me that there’s an update for such and such available. It’s pretty transparent…

The updates you’re getting aren’t as significant as the ones they are now able to offer Cloud users though. They’re basically maintenance updates and sometimes they add support for a significant new codec or things of that sort. With the Cloud they are able to offer significant new features that add new functionality to the program itself, like they did with Photoshop a while back. There’s something about the license agreement that’s used for disc-based software that prevents them from being able to do this.

The big drawback that I see with the Cloud versions though, is the fact that they have to phone home each month to verify that you’ve made your payment on time. What happens if your internet connection is down at the time when it’s scheduled to do this check? Or what if you’re on a laptop in a remote area that doesn’t have internet access?

They actually discussed that today. They supply a backdoor number that you can call to deal with issues ranging from Internet outage to a planned Internet disconnect of longer than 30 days. Basically, if there is an issue they want you to touch base with them, and they promise to be very flexible in terms of that 30 day ping. This was part of a presentation, btw, not a conversation, and was actually a bullet point on a slide titled Four Myths About Adobe Creative Cloud. FWIW.

Actually, they mentioned a couple of elements in Audition today that are available right now for Cloud users, that will not be available otherwise until the Next release.

I’m really glad to hear that. I still wouldn’t want the Cloud to be the only option available, but it doesn’t seem quite so bad now…

so this means that the clouders get the update first then the perpetuals? how long after?

[Richard Cardonna] ” clouders get the update first then the perpetuals?”

I’m a Clouder – cool!

Greg –

Is this something you know for fact, or are just speculating? I’ve gotten some pretty major fixes in the years I’ve had the CS; and no, I don’t mean the “dot” upgrades, or new functionality, but things such as additional GPU functionality and other things which had a major impact on my workflow.

When you say, “With the Cloud they are able to offer significant new features that add new functionality to the program itself, like they did with Photoshop a while back.”

What are these new features, and are they something that a perpetual license owner would not get, and a Cloud user would? Just trying to clarify all of this as an owner of the CS6 Master Collection perpetual license. Just sorting out my options…
