Hardware and operating systems evolve, then old programs aren’t supported – so for most people, static software has a usable lifetime – exactly as you’re discovering here (sorry). What’s interesting here is that you think you’re making an argument against Creative Cloud, but in fact it’s the opposite… With perpetual software, just because you “own” it forever, doesn’t mean you can run it forever… You no doubt put up a lot of money for CS6, but regrettably now you’re finding you can’t move forward. That would be like getting Netflix for a few months but only watching one show and then deciding it’s Netflix’s fault. But it sounds like the decision to only use the tools for a few minutes (even though you had them for months) was yours. If it were the old CS model instead, you would have paid a lot more upfront (many hundreds or even thousands of dollars) just to get in the door, and then had no recourse or way to change your mind later. Greetings Diana, we’re not sure what you mean by “I was unable to follow through.” It sounds like you downloaded & installed the new software onto your computer, went through your free trial period, then subscribed for several months – but only found the time to “look at” the products for just 30 minutes? How is that on Adobe? This may be a great business model for the full-time user, but it’s heck on the rest of us. Then it was extremely difficult to turn off the subscription. $160 dollars later and a few months later, I’d looked at them for about 30 minutes. I signed up for the free trial of a couple of Adobe modules with the intention of evaluating them. I have folders full of old Photoshop files that I can’t even open to tweak for my websites without paying through the nose.Īnd the subscription model makes learning incredibly expensive. Now that CS6 stopped working on the newer versions of Windows, I am stuck. I like being able to pull out my trusty, stand-alone modules to use once or twice a year. However, it is a show-stopper for those of us who use Adobe products occasionally and don’t have the professional budget to pay every month. I realize it means more money in Adobe’s pockets to force every user to buy updates to keep using its product. The move to subscription model only is a sad one for me. Yes, CC for Teams is offered there, and shown on the countries list linked above – so you should be able to purchase it, even if only for 1 single license.įinally, while not everyone has full access yet, Adobe tells us they continue to work to expand the availability on an ongoing basis – so look for still more countries to be added going forward.īut whatever you do, avoid any illegitimate version at all costs! However, if you happen to have a billing address and form of payment (including PayPal) that is based in any one of those other countries where Adobe offers their products online, then you should still be able to purchase CC direct – even if your home address is elsewhere…īut even if that doesn’t work, then you should still be able to buy Creative Cloud for Teams from a reseller in your country. It appears that Adobe is not yet offering “Creative Cloud for Individuals” in the country where you live… The list of where CC can be purchased is now up to 94 countries (see the Country Availability List) and always growing larger. Greetings Boris, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Hope that helps explain the complete story here.
