Thanks for clearing this up.. great to know.

One last question... with purchased licenses, it was easy to be able to have, say, your lead workstation using the latest and greatest version of Adobe software, and then previous versions that you bought could be installed on older workstations for stop-gaps / quick support tasks (I'm thinking older versions of Photoshop for temps or interns to clean up images, etc)

With Creative Cloud, is that out the window? like the license is only for the cloud usage itself? or once AE CS7 comes out, CS6 still has it's own registration of license on the servers for usage?

Say, in 5 years, I could have 5 different versions of AE running on 5 different workstations, because they are all their own version, and license separately under the Creative Cloud?


Not trying to abuse the system or anything, just poking at the fence to see how far the capabilities would be.

Thanks again for the quick response.

Again, there is no significant change, for better or worse, about where the application is looking for plug-ins. (This is a common refrain: There is far less different about Creative Cloud than people think, as far as the desktop applications are concerned. The differences are just about how activation works.)

Having the application and/or installer be smarter about where to look for extensions is a fruitful area for feature requests.

Currently, I use aliases/shortcuts, so the newer version of an application follows that alias/shortcut and looks in the old location. That's nothing new; I've been doing that for years.
