One of the first questions many business owners and managers ask when introduced to the new Adobe Creative Cloud is, "How does this affect my budget?" The good news is, many businesses will actually be able to save money by switching. Whether you need just one license or many, Adobe Creative Cloud offers a streamlined solution that comes with other financial benefits.

Financial Benefits of Creative Cloud

 
In addition to easy file sharing, streamlined version control, and all the other advantages that Creative Cloud has to offer, you also get built-in benefits simply by making the switch: 

    • Predictable monthly costs - Memberships are are paid annually, so you always know what to budget for your Creative Cloud software.

 

    • Upgrades are included - With Creative Cloud, every time a new update becomes available, you have instant access to it at no extra cost. This means that you can operate with the latest software version at all times without seeing a dent in your monthly or annual budget.

 

    • Expert advice - If you use Creative Cloud for Teams, you get the benefit of two one-on-one sessions with an Adobe expert. This represents a $200 value and it is included with your membership.

 

Membership Discounts for Existing Customers

 
New members get all these great benefits, but existing Adobe customers can save even more by switching before August 31, 2013. 

    • Creative Cloud for Individuals - If you have version CS3 through CS5.5, you can save more than $200 on your first year of membership. CS6 owners save more than $350, so it is worth making the switch in time to take advantage of these discounts.

 

    • Creative Cloud for Teams - For offices that need more than one license, Creative Cloud for Teams makes it easy to manage users and permissions. This membership type also gets the biggest savings with a discount of $360 per user license. These savings add up quickly in larger offices, so don't delay if you're planning to make the switch.

 

    • Single-app Plan - If you only use one app, such as Photoshop or InDesign, you can get a discounted single-app annual membership. Existing Adobe customers save $10 per month no matter which version you currently use.
