Steve, apparently you can make an "annual commitment" and get lower
prices as well as reduced checkin frequency.

i made an annual commitment 12 months ago and it checked in at least monthly
the link is a bit ambiguous; the two possible interpretations are:
1) there is now also an annual *prepaid* option, which will please some
business users
and/or
2) Adobe has changed the check-in period on the annual commitment (though it is
billed monthly)
in the latter case a user could theoretically cancel the credit card and keep
using the software for 5 more months unpaid; i don't know whether Adobe would
consider the attendant hassles a worthwhile risk
the language (from your link):
Q: I don’t want to have to be online constantly to use my software.
A: You only have to be online to download and activate your software. Customers
with an annual membership, who have provided a credit card to be used to renew
their 12-month prepaid membership, will be able to use products for 3 months
(99 days) when offline. Month-to-month customers will still need to validate
every 30 days. The validation process is very lightweight and can be done over
dial-up, tethered/connected to a mobile device, or at a wireless access point
at a coffee shop.
(180, not 99) days per a comment on the posting)
