Organizations with more traditional perpetual licensing for CS and above can maintain them indefinitely, but there will be no updates or future long-term support. SomewhatĬustomers rebelled and Adobe relented – somewhat. Individuals and small enterprises are especially worried that this signals a transition to an all-cloud/all-subscription model that may cost more. Future updates and enhancements target subscription-only Creative Cloud. VIP Creative Cloud users also appreciate automatic program updates and support, which simplify licensing compliance.Ĭoncerned reactions are based on the Adobe simultaneous announcements that while Adobe Creative Suite will continue to be supported and available for traditional licensing, there will be no future updates to CS 6. Positive reactions are due to several new “CC” desktop applications, enhanced cross-device collaboration and publishing capabilities, and a series of promotional pricing offers under their Value Incentive Plan (VIP), Adobe’s monthly subscription plan for Creative Cloud. Mixed reactions best describe the update to Adobe® Creative Cloud announced last May.
