Yes, Steve, it's true.
There will be no CS7, just CC (Creative Cloud) apps.
<http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html>
Single apps can be rented for $20/month, the entire suite is
$50/month. There are first year discounts for some current users.
CC requires that your computer get on-line and renew your
subscriptions (licenses) every 30 days.
I have just heard a rumor that the CS Suite is going to available in
future only on an SaaS basis, by subscription. TCS/FrameMaker could
follow?
I do wonder whether the accountants that run large corporates like
Adobe understand how important their software is to the countless
thousands of freelances who have to scrape every last penny to buy
it - but at least then they own something, not vapor that goes phut
as soon as you stop paying for it.
For the last two decades FrameMaker, Illustrator, Acrobat and
Dreamweaver have been the rocks underpinning what I do. I'm far less
sure about the future, though.
