Todd,

One of my main concerns stems from the 'misconcep= tions' video that was released yesterday. (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-creative-cloud/the-myths-of-ad= obe-creative-cloud/)=A0 During the answer to the question that starts a= t 2:20, am I to understand that if I'm a CC subscriber, I have one year= to upgrade to whatever the newest release is?

As it is now, I have hardware that supports CS4 at maximum, and a= s a nonprofit we don't have funds to upgrade that hardware anytime soon= . I use CS4 practically every day.

I can envision a time in th= e future as a CC subscriber that I'll be in the same boat - CC system r= equirements move ahead, and my hardware compatible. So what happens after o= ne year?
