What do you mean by "can't get access to any of your files"?

That doesn't sound right.

Subject: [AE] CS6 upgrade paths

Not sure whether I am grasping the new Adobe upgrade path options fully, can someone explain the benefits of signing up to creative cloud (special intro offer £27.34 a month) where it states that all CS6 apps plus additional cloud based apps can be downloaded and used, as opposed to the CS5 to CS5.5 upgrade offer where they send CS6 as a complimentary upgrade?
If all the apps are available for £27.34 then £46.88 (after first year) a month then surely that is a much more cost effective option working on the basis that there will be a CS upgrade at least once a year?
Best,
Darren
 
 
 
It looks like a good deal - I agree. I was tempted myself, especially as Adobe have now got us all locked into the upgrade cycle with their 'one step back' upgrade policy.
 
Two things to consider:
 
Once they've gotn you hooked, will they rack the price up over time?
 
With all those lovely applications at hand you'll start using many of them - then realise that if you stop paying, your software disappears - and you can't get access to any of your files...
 
You've gota hand it to them...
