Re: [AE] CS is DEAD
Actually, the $49 a month version requires a 12 month commitment. To pick and choose to use it will cost you $75 a month.
In Europe we are looking at $80 a month (12 months) or $117 a month (pick and choose)!
The point is that if someone is going through a tough patch, they can choose to hold off for a while on a upgrade. Not possible with a subscription.

One thing that is nice is that if you are an occasional user you can choose to buy a month here and there for $49 a pop. Doesn't seem to bad to me if you can manage to make money with the tools. Also, a monthly bill seems to be easier for some folks to handle than a $600 upgrade. If your business doesn't make enough to cover $49 a month you have issues.

There is no option to buy a new perpetual license or upgrade an existing perpetual license.
Unless you switch to Creative Cloud you are stuck on CS6 forever.
Sucks eh?

But bottom line is that, whatever you want to call it, we still get the choice between paying as you go or buying a perpetual license new or upgrade for "CS Next" ...correct?
Thanks,

For people who are always in work and who upgrade every time a new version comes out, it makes no difference if they are upgrading the perpetual licenses or subscribing to Creative Cloud.
The people this will negatively impact are the ones who maybe can’t afford to upgrade every time and therefore can’t afford to pay $600 a year for a subscription. With the current model these people could still work with the version they have. Once using the cloud model, a lapse in subscription means they can’t work and therefore can’t earn the money needed to pay for the subscription.
I personally like to own the licenses of my software. Some packages need a subscription to keep up to date but if I stop paying that, for whatever reason, the software still works. I just don’t get my updates.
I would have liked CC to have been running parallel with CS for a few versions before forcing everyone over to it.
