Hi, I'm Yashodhan Gokhale, Group Product Manager on the Creative Suite Team at Adobe.
I am excited to tell you about a brand new way to buy the Creative Suite software,
the Adobe Creative Suite Subscription Edition.
You can now subscribe to any of the Suites and almost all of our individual applications
for a fixed, low monthly fee with no big upfront cost.
You'll also have access to the latest software upgrades
as long as you're an active subscriber.
Subscriptions are ideal if you are on an older version of the Suite
and don't qualify for upgrade pricing
and would like to affordably get current and stay current with your software.
Maybe you're just out of school or starting a freelance business
but haven't purchased the Creative Suite yet
because of the large upfront cost.
A subscription is a great way to get access to all of the creative tools you'll need.
Subscriptions are also an excellent way to go from using one or two individual applications,
to an entire suite.
So if you're an existing Photoshop or Illustrator user,
this is an easy and affordable way to experience the entire suite of products.
Buying, installing, and managing a subscription is easy
and is just like buying any other product on adobe.com.
You can even convert a Creative Suite software trial into a subscription.
As a subscriber you will get to choose from
a one-year plan for a lower monthly cost
or a month-to-month plan that you can stop and restart based on your business needs.
Either way, your credit card will be charged a fixed fee each month,
making budgeting really easy.
You'll even install the exact same software on your computer
that you would if you were to buy the software outright.
And every time there is an upgrade to your software,
you will have access to this at no additional charge.
Subscription editions are being sold exclusively on adobe.com.
So let's dive in and see how easy it is to get started.
Say you want to buy a subscription edition of InDesign.
Once you've chosen the product to buy,
simply choose a subscription,
a plan, a platform, and delivery.
Delivery is either download or download with a backup media.
Back up media is great if you're on a slow internet connection,
but you have to wait seven days to receive it.
Go through the checkout process, and you are done.
At the end of this process your subscription is ready to go.
Download the software from the link provided on the page,
and after the download is over, double-click the installer
and follow the instructions on the screen.
Once the software is installed, you're good to go.
We will also send you an email with all the details
in case you miss then during the purchase process.
If you're currently using a trial version of the Creative Suite CS5-5 product,
you simply need to enter the serial number off the subscription you purchased,
and follow the instructions on the screen, to start using it as a subscription.
If you want to manage your subscriptions,
go to adobe.com, log in to the subscription manager,
and you'll notice details about your subscription.
In the subscription manager, you can edit your subscription level,
you can edit your renewal term,
or you can edit your billing information.
If you'd like to learn more about subscribing to a Creative Suite product,
be sure to check out the Creative Suite subscription page on adobe.com,
where you will find an FAQ, pricing information, and more.
Thank you for your time, and we hope to see you as a subscriber soon.
