Are no perpetual license you serious?

I have just the head that Adobe intends to give up his license for an online rental only program. At first, I thought this must be a joke. I have been using for 18 years adobe products. Mainly Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. I currently own 6 CS Master collection and of course upgrade my products and have always done over the years. I am not connected to the internet full time and actually my work computer is never directly connected to the internet. So, how does this work? Is adobe now forcing me to connect to the internet - it seems to be the case.

Regarding the upgrade of cycles, I can't rent my software and be bound to a rental agreement. I want to improve when I choose, not rent my software as a kind of loan program!

I want to buy the software, then worry not. For example when I travel, I don't want to be bogged down with downloads and upgrades to chew my bandwidth. I have traveled to many places where internet access it is very limited. Download a map in China wireless is painful, I don't want to be bogged down with no software or large megabyte downloads costing me a fortune across the planet.

Adobe, I know that I am just one person and you won't listen to me probably, but someone has requested? Nobody asked me to this topic. How simple it could be - I want to buy the software, then use it when I want where I want, is - too much to ask?

Please allow me to continue using this software in the way I used it for so long. If others wish to have the creative cloud then great! More power to them, alienating users. Please provide two alternatives.

Best regards - Matt

Matt,

There is a lot of confusion over this and if all goes well, I can help clarify some of them.

You don't have to be online to use the software. It is covered in our FAQ:

http://www.Adobe.com/products/creativecloud/FAQ.html#

--

Do I need a continuous Internet access to use my apps desktop creative cloud?

N ° your desktop creative cloud (like Photoshop and Illustrator) applications are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need a continuous Internet connection to use on a daily basis.

You may to be online when you install your licensed software. If you have an annual membership, you will be asked to connect to the web to validate your software licenses every 30 days.  However, you will be able to use products for 99 days even if you are offline.

--

(Note, we plan to expand this to 180 days).

So, you need to be online when you install, but after that, you just to be online once every 3 months (99 days).

Hope that helps...

  • Which (if any) cloud services are NOT included in a perpetual license for Acrobat DC

    I'm having a hard time nailing in what services cloud are not included in the perpetual license for Acrobat DC. As far as I know, Adobe is a web page that directly compares the features of a perpetual license of Acrobat DC (Standard or Pro) with the corresponding version of the subscription.

    Since few can have the patience to read until the end of this post, I thought I would cut to the chase with my question (s):

    • Is what cloud services are not included in the license for Acrobat DC on the adobe site? If so, could you please give a link?
    • Alteratively, if you know the specific online features that are not included with the perpetual license, I would like to know what people are.

    This is substantially incomplete or ambiguous information that I could find.

    The Acrobat FAQ on purchasing Acrobat DC says "you can also buy Acrobat Pro DC or Acrobat Standard DC as a one-time purchase. It includes desktop software and allows you to work with Free Adobe Document Cloud services"(emphasis added).  I understand this means that there is no free Document Cloud Services that are not available to users who have purchased one license.

    Web page: Plans and prices: compare plans | Adobe Acrobat DC compares Standard and Pro, and within each toggles between subscription and license.  Thus, for features, it is possible to compare standard subscription with pro license (for example).

    Also, since Pro subscription has all the features listed in the table, it is easy (by activating / deactivating the license subscription) dismiss only two characteristics: they are:

    • Send and track documents online
    • Add or edit text in a PDF document on your iPad
    • Reorder, delete or rotate PDF pages on your iOS or Android tablet
    • Collecting electronic signatures of others and track responses in real time

    Most of the functions listed in the section "sign and collect" seems to be available in the office and subscription services, but it is possible (probable) that these features are available on the desktop (and not on the web) for those who do not subscribe.

    The FAQ of Acrobat (which can I with Adobe Document Cloud services when working in Acrobat DC?) implies that the subscriptions are needed "to complete essential tasks of PDF of anywhere, including your web browser and Acrobat DC mobile app:" he mentions the following. ' "

      • Convert files PDF, documents, and images
      • Combine multiple files into a single PDF file (desktop and web only)
      • Transform PDF files into Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or RTF files editable
      • Use your mobile to take a photo of a paper document and convert it to PDF format
      • Send documents for signature and then to track, manage and store online
      • Send, track and confirm delivery of documents by electronic means rather than use faxes or night services (tracking is not available on mobile)
      • Edit PDF files from your iPad (Acrobat cc Pro only)
      • Organize the pages to your iOS or Android (Acrobat Pro cc only) device
      • Store and access files online with 20 GB of storage.

    The answer to this FAQ States expressly that these online features are not available to license office buyers.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi chicagolaw15,

    You can compare between subscription & perpetual function using this link Plans and price | Adobe Acrobat DC.

    With a perpetual license, you will receive the document cloud services, you will only be able to use the free space of the cloud of the 5 GB document.

  • Redownload and Lightroom 5 perpetual license

    Hello

    I bought 5 Lightroom under a perpetual license, but my computer crashed and I got it to resinstall. I did it using creative cloud but I can see now that I am on a 30 day trial for the product. How can I register the product I bought already, so I won't have to pay the cost of creating cloud after the trial is over?

    Thank you

    If you have a perpetual license, you want to get the product through the creative cloud.

  • Bug fixes are available in perpetual license 6.1?

    I have licensed perpetual for LR 5.0 and downloaded the demo of 6/CC LR which I use now (about 20 days left). Certainly do not get CC I want to own, not rent, software.

    I see that it has 6.1 update. Because I am on trial version, I wonder how can I find out what features I'll actually get if I buy a perpetual license?

    From the Adobe site, it seems, bug fixes may be included:

    "Is there all the features of Lightroom available exclusively to members of creative cloud?

    Mobile Lightroom is exclusive to creative cloud.

    From the update of Lightroom CC (2015.1), the following features are exclusive to members of creative cloud:

    Dehaze

    Local adjustments for black and white.

    I have read conflicting about what declarations happen to be available in 6.1 perpetual license. Will I have the latest bug fixes?

    Thank you.

    All bug fixes, addition of camera and the objective applies to both versions. It has that are the difference. Lightroom 6 will have only the features that existed in version 6.0 for the duration of the continuous cycle, with all these features (and some new they add) added to Lightroom 7. Lightroom CC will be other new features added when Adobe decide to add them as they are not restricted, with additions of features to the software subscription.

  • Perpetual license of more creative Adobe - CS6

  • CS6 perpetual license and Nikon D5

    My version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 extended it's up-to-date (MAC) version 13.0.6 x 64.  He reports that he uses v.9.1.1.461 unicameral raw. But this version does not see the images of the Nikon D5.  To see images of D5 seems to need ACR v. 9.5.  Downloaded and says it installed, but said CS6 it will always use 13.0.6 x 64. What is going on? Issue of "not readable" also in Lightroom 6 perpetual license

    The LR program currently operates in one of the four modes of operation according to the license status:

    1. LR but without license in the 30 day trial - features of LR CC
    2. LR without license but outdated test - LR limited except develop them and print modules are disabled so that you can not make adjustments more but can still see photos of the way they were when the licence was in force.
    3. LR has a serial number-CC features only went from the user interface, but any image adjusted with them continues to be made in this way, so if an image has an adjustment that rendered Dehaze will remain, but can not adjust the amount of Dehaze other than resetting the image so that there is the amount of default Dehaze generally zero.
    4. LR under license with an AdobeID that has a subscription current CC associated - features of LR CC connected

    If you stop paying a subscription of CC and LR, then returns to the mode without a permit - to-beyond - trial period described in step 2, until you license with a serial number, although you might have to join this serial number to an another AdobeID, I'm not sure, because I've never been in this situation but maybe you know because you have?

    All four of these modes use the same LR being the same program catalog. The catalog is the same, that LR is authorized as LR 6 with a number of series or LR CC 2015 with a subscription of the CC.

    When things change when catalogs become incompatible, and it may be your question, is when the next big pay-for LR upgrade is out, I'll call him LR 7/2017, assuming there's a LR 7 and everything has not disappeared to CC at that time here.   LR 7/2017 would be a new version of the program, with a new structure of catalog database and you can't open LR 7/2017 databases with LR 6/2015.   So if you have a subscription to LR CC 2017 and then stop paying but don't have a LR 7 serial number then you will not be able to use your 7/2017 catalogue LR 6 LR.  The catalogue is incompatible, as released a new version of LR, not because it is allowed with a subscription of the CC and one with a serial number.  When you think about a subscription to the CC, use the indication of the year with her, CC 2015 vs CC 2017, then things will be not as confusing.

    But if you don't want to stop paying a monthly subscription amount, you can probably buy a serial number update and continue to use LR, just without any Interface to the features that have been added to LR CC since the version.0 of each came out, assuming that there is a version under license number-series LR still available.

  • Adobe perpetual license CC 2015

    Hello

    I came across a site the other day that sold 2015 the CC of the Adobe Master Collection with a full lifetime license.

    From my understanding, you sell are no longer the perpetual licenses.

    These online stores are selling a legitimate product?

    Thanks and regards,

  • Failure of the Code U44M2P28 update: Lightroom 6.1.1 to 6.5 (perpetual license)

    I have Lightroom 6.1.1 installed (perpetual license) and you want to update to 6.5 (perpetual). I find the update downloaded and tried to install it. But Adobe Application Manager tells me that the installation failed, error U44M2P28 code. [I tried with previous updates and got similar results.]

    Here are the details. To prepare for the update, I applied the fix permissions of Simon Chen (2015.5 Lightroom: does not start.) Ask to change the permissions of the files, but it does not solve. | Customer of the Photoshop family...).

    I downloaded the update 6.5 and activated the installation. But I got the following failure window:

    Adobe_Application_Manager.jpg

    The error log is a page with this on it:

    Lightroom CC/6 Update-March 2016

    Update is not applicable. Error code: U44M2P28

    Any help would be appreciated. I'm starting to think that I won't be able to apply the updates.

    _______________________________________________________

    If I need to uninstall and reinstall my current version (section 6.1.1), where can I get a new copy of install? If I uninstall 6.1.1 how? The Manager of Adobe Applications will not open. Can I use any other uninstaller which deletes files from the application all the?

    I got a response. The key was to find a source for LR 6.0, I got (with the 6.0 updates) of this link Adobe: Installer Photoshop Lightroom.

    I then used the AppZapper (Mac) to remove LR 6.1.1. I used Fixer permission of Steve Chen, installed at LR6.0, then updated to LR6.5. It worked and all is well. Thanks tipsters!

  • Perpetual license excluded features

    I use:

    Lightroom version: 6.3 [1052427]

    License: Perpetual

    I do not see the function "off haze' in development > module effects, I do not see the RGB channels in the Panel"tone curve ". I guess this is a feature of exclusion that adobe provided for those of us who prefer the perpetual license model of pricing.

    Everyone knows this as well?

    Dehaze is only available to subscribers of creative cloud.

    The RGB tone curves are available to the holder of perpetual license.  Make sure you that you click on the small button at the bottom right of the tone curve Panel to activate Point curve. Then you will see the RGB.

  • How we stop to resume my perpetual license CS6 creative cloud?

    I have a perpetual license for CS6 Master Collection / Windows I have installed on my PC and laptop a couple of years.  12 months ago I registered for the creative cloud / plan of all applications.  I canceled the plan creative cloud yesterday and my perpetual license CS6 has stopped working.  After several chat sessions with Adobe engineers, told me to completely uninstall CS6 Master Collection and re - install with my serial number.  It has worked to resolve the problem of activation.

    It is also the same thing on my Macbook.  I have only a perpetual license of Photoshop CS6 on the mac, not the Master Collection. I had installed creative cloud and then out of the CC that caused the CS6 ask login when I try to run it.  I have not had Photoshop CS6 works again on the Mac. I guess I'll need to uninstall and reinstall as well.

    I never installed CS6 on any of the machines through creative cloud configuration.  CS6 has been installed before CC on all 3 machines using the DVD and serial numbers.

    Even though I cancelled my CC/plan of applications, I wanted to start a new plan CC for Photoshop only.  I am now reluctant to do this because I don't want to pick up on my CS6 activations.  Is in any way to prevent that from happening?  In addition, no one knows why this happens? I think that maybe when CS6 works it automatically updates is pass the license on behalf of CC license if there is one installed.  In any case, I would avoid it for that if I install Photoshop CC but then disconnect my CS6 would continue to operate without having to re - install.

    You need to reinstall CS6 after the cancellation of the CC that both were of the same Adobe ID. You can still use & solidarity two CS6 & cc.
