Creative Cloud doesn't change how you access or run your Adobe apps, just how you pay for your license.Īdobe's application manager handles app installs Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Premier, Acrobat, and rest of the (former) Creative Suite titles are still native Mac and Windows apps running on your computer locally, not apps running in your Web browser. The reality is that you download those apps, just as you did with a perpetual license for Creative Suite 6, and they live on your computer. The Creative Cloud name seems to have caused a little confusion because people think that means they're using Web-based versions of Photoshop, InDesign and Dreamweaver. Turns out all of those complaints are wrong. Within minutes of Adobe announcing the new Creative Cloud, the rants were already flooding my Twitter stream with complaints about being forced to use Web-based apps, needing always-on Internet connections, and losing all your files when your subscription expires. Since that isn't what happened, it's time to bone up on our Creative Cloud facts. Until Monday, there was still speculation that Creative Suite 7 would be unveiled and that users would have the option of choosing between perpetual and subscription licensing, just as they could with Creative Suite 6. It was clear Adobe wanted to push its customers into the subscription model, but I wasn't expecting the change to come so quickly. It was first introduced along side Creative Suite 6 last year as an alternative to traditional perpetual licensing, and this year replaces Creative Suite all together. Get ready for subscription software, because that's where Adobe is taking usĬreative Cloud is Adobe's subscription license model for its professional Mac and Windows content creation and editing applications the familiar Adobe apps, like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Premiere, Flash, and Acrobat. We decided to cut through the noise and get the straight answers because you can't decide if Creative Cloud (CC) is right for you without good information.
That was promptly followed by wailing, gnashing of teeth, the falling of the sky, and plenty of misconceptions spread as fact. Adobe announced on Monday that Creative Suite is no more and that moving forward Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and the rest of the company's professional content creation apps are available only as part of Creative Cloud.
