Where are you getting that $47,000 figure from?

I'm impressed that you can find the software for $47,000.
2,500 x n = 47,000
Where n is the number of computers at his/her office? Or where n is an F in math.

He has 18.8 computers?
Thinking of buying the Production Premium instead of Web premium that I have now for a student price. Should save with money instead of having a cloud account.
I barely create any sites, but I'd like to keep the ability to do so, so doubting a little bit. Not sure how useful inDesign, Fireworks, and Dreamweaver are. Well, I
worked with Dreamweaver, but Notepad++ works fine for me.
It's weird that the cloud has even more features than the Master Collection, even when they are few.
How long does it take for a new CS to come out? You don't really get cheap upgrades right? Especially when I still have my student edition then.

Yeah, that's why I'm tempted. I've been buying the Mac editions for years now but I bought a PC last year mainly for gaming but I'd like to work on a bigger monitor sometimes.
I just purchased the Adobe Photoshop CS6 1-year Subscription ($20/mo). If I like it, I'll upgrade to the full suite. Although Photoshop is really the only program I need/use anymore since I don't do AS3 stuff anymore.
I wish there was like a $5/mo Lightroom subscription. Oh well.

Hoooly crap. I just downloaded the Photoshop trial on a whim and the performance boost is incredible. The program boots in like three seconds.
Design Standard is like $350 with my student discount, I think I'm going to bite later this summer.

yea i just upgraded from CS 4 photoshop to CS 6 photoshop. I love that I can be saving photos while working on others. Photoshop installed on a SSD using it as a scratch disk as well is a godsend.

Hm, how many activations do the non-subscription suites come with? Anyone know?

Yeah, really thinking of going for the year contract. $600+taxes/year ain't bad for the full Adobe CS, not bad at all.

CS6 is incredible. Lightroom and Photoshop are all I really need. With Photoshop anything is possiiiiiblllllle

You can have it activated on 2 computers at a time.

Perfect, one on the lappy, one on the tower.
How did you subscribe for just Photoshop?

Do you only get the Creative Cloud stuff with the subscription, or is it part of the regular upgrade as well? Still debating if I want to just pay the upgrade, or do the subscription.
Looks like you get 20gb with the subscription. I believe if you cancel or your subscription runs out you lose access to the cloud though.

Meh subscription doesn't appeal to me. I may upgrade to 6 from 5.1 (purchased on a couple weeks before 6 was announced) since I use it a lot. Only if I can get it for a reasonable price with my student discount though. Wish there was a student upgrade price.
That's reasonable. It's been a really long time since nearly every new Mac (and I presume most Win boxes) have been x64.
It's also good for the software. More time spent leveraging the performance enhancements that 64-bit can provide.
There's still a 32bit version of photoshop no? 64bit is amazing, seeing after effects swallow up 14gb of ram rendering out a video feels good.

Can these apps, or at least Photoshop, be used without a contract as a stand-alone application? You know, like every single version before it? Can you just use PhotoShop without a cloud? Or is CS now a cloud-only monthly-payment-required program suite?

This link is good through April 19 for getting Creative Cloud at $30 a month for a year. I already had a sub from when it began, but that runs out early May, so I cancelled its auto-renew and signed up using this and was able to lock in the $30. A little bit of an overlap, but still saving over $200 this year.

Looks like the cloud is finally here. I tried to buy MS Office at my school and they only have the Office 365 now. Lame.

Um so, what's Creative Cloud? I see the Student/Teacher Edition is at $19.99, but would I get DreamWeaver with that? If I pay this monthly, when the new Creative Cloud software comes out next month, do I get to upgrade to that for "free"?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Creative Cloud is the successor to Creative Suite. I don't know the details of the student plan but yes, it should come with Dreamweaver. As long as you have a CC membership you can access every new version of every Adobe program.
I want to warn you guys, I bought Creative Cloud on the student discount while I was in the UK (for school) and when I came back, I wanted to change my account, since I closed my UK bank account.
I have spent the last two hours in stupid live chat trying to get this figured out. Apparently, it's region locked. And because my school is in the UK, I don't "qualify" as a student. Thankfully, they're taking care of it, but I have to sign up for another year, even though I'm halfway through my UK subscription.
DO NOT BUY CREATIVE CLOUD IF YOU PLAN ON LEAVING WHATEVER COUNTRY YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN.
It is a nightmare.
Edit: I'm on an international internship, hence why I moved back to the US early.

So I signed up for a year, Photoshop + Lightroom. Why the heck is it that when I launch Photoshop, it says it's a trial good for 30 days??
Another stupid thing is I got no confirmation for what I signed up for, other than Creative Cloud itself. There's no email about the one year license.
