Hi!~
Adobe is coming up with new service call Adobe Creative Cloud whereby you can pay to use the software whenever you need to use the software. Monthly subscription required-around US$ 50 per month. My main question to the users of Corel and all die hard fans of Corel is how this will effect the users and artists of Corel world? Will new artist jump to use Adobe instead of Corel? What are the strength and weakness of cloud service? And strategically lets guess what would be Corel next move? I think this would be fun. What say ye?
I've looked into it and for us, the model does not make sense. We have four computers in one department that need to run Adobe software, mostly for using client supplied files. Internally, we don't use Adobe for original design at all because we have Corel.
Thus, we use the boxed set because it allows for installation on three computers. The fourth computer uses a previous version.
Using the Cloud model, we would have to pay $150-$200 per month. One $50 subscription per user. That makes NO sense to us because even over a single year cycle, it would add up to more than the boxed set! We will continue to purchase the boxed set.
