Adobe fully into the cloud field, charging the new reform

This week, Adobe formally announced that it will shift the company to a cloud service. Previously, the profit-making model of one-off offline software was formally transformed into subscription-based cloud service model with monthly subscription fee.

Adobe's family of software has been available as a Creative Suite since the beginning of the decade, with one or several versions of the software purchased separately or purchased as a package. Last year Adobe released the suite of online cloud services Creative Cloud, users can pay for the service, when Adobe did not plan to its services will be fully converted to cloud online mode.

However, on Monday, Adobe announced that it will cease all updates and updates to the Creative Suite in June of this year to focus on operating and developing its Creative Cloud cloud services.

Individual users who purchased a genuine Creative Suite C3 or later will get a discount in the first year at $ 29.99 a month to subscribe to the Creative Cload service. Other individual users need to pay $ 49.99 per month to subscribe to the CC service.

For the team, the package that has been purchased for the genuine suite costs $ 39.99 per month for each user. Non-preferential prices for the monthly fee of 69.99 US dollars. However, Adobe said Adobe can adopt a flexible policy for large companies that limit cloud services.

For unwilling to use CC full set of products, only willing to use a product user, monthly fee is 19.99 US dollars.

As Adobe's pricing policy shows, Adobe encourages users to use the full range of products.

Adobe's move may be to deal with piracy, but also to stabilize their income levels.

Even if users use offline versions of this cloud service, they must also sign up online once a month to confirm their purchase. Prior to Adobe once a year to update the software, to convince users to pay to upgrade the software has been troubled by Adobe.

After Adobe turned to cloud services in a comprehensive way, the previous serial code used countless times of piracy and the user refused to upgrade with the old version of the software will not be able to continue.
