Oh, yeah, one more question. I have two photo processing stations, and also a laptop, all Macs. What provisions are there for using your various machines with the subscription suite? Can you sign off and on like you do with the stand-alone products?

You can have it on as many machines as you own as long as only 2 are signed in (aka activated).  You can also have cross platform installs.  I find this very convenient as I have a Mac desktop and laptop and a Win laptop (that I use occasionally).  When you start up the 3rd instance a dialog pops up and offers to sign your other machines off if you are already signed in on 2 other machines.

You can also have cross platform installs.
Which is new thanks to CC subscription. Not that pointing out a benefit of this new model is very popular.

well, what he did once many years ago (and that was a technical feat - nobody is questioning technical capabilities) has nothing to do w/ a question... so who is obtusing?

I stand corrected. However, cross platform serial's started with creative cloud meaning PS 6. That is the only perceptual license version that supports both Mac and Win.

Not unless you fork over the money for a Windows and an OS X license.  That particular constraint isn't present in CC.

I do not argue w/ that... but it is again just purely political/financial (for profit, to move move people to subscription only model) decision not caused by any technical (software or accounting) reasons...

I'm guessing Schewe already knows this but in case others haven't noticed, the ULA for the Adobe CC App Mgr seems to only display in a small window sized for an iPhone and, when extracted, results in 26 Word pages of single line-spaced 12 point text.

I stopped reading when a coworker reading the same on his separate machine took the link regarding fonts. He seemed to understand a user was not supposed to use certain fonts, though they were supplied by Adobe, because they are "restricted." We went searching further via links and then happened upon the ULA for Illustrator CS6 and the PDF is well over 600 pages of very small text and starts with a language, maybe Arabic.

That's when I called it day.

I thought this was USA only as checked Adobe UK website and cheapest CC option is £27.34 pcm (about $40). Yet linked press release quotes UK price of £7.14pcm?

On the basis that I might before have paid about £50 every 2 years to update LR, it equates to about £60 a year to keep Photoshop up to date, which funnily enough is equivalent to paying c.£180 every 3 years to move to newer version of PS. (Which of course is the option no longer available)
On the face of it I give Adobe some credit for listening and bringing the cost to the amateur back to, approximately, where it was before - well better really because you need to take into account the reduction in the cost of LR since summer 2012. :)

The new PS/LR combination is not yet available. The £27.34 introductory offer is for the whole CC package, it's £47 otherwise. Not sure why they don't have the info on the website that a new PS offer is forthcoming.

It's only opportunity cost for Adobe in the short term to meet their subscription numbers goal.

The pressure is rising for Adobe to meet their number of subscribers goal by year end.


Less than 2 weeks later --

Quote
... Adobe exited Q3 with 1 million 31 thousand paid Creative Cloud subscriptions, an increase of 331 thousand when compared to the number of subscriptions as of the end of Q2 fiscal year 2013 ...

... “We exceeded one million subscriptions during Q3, demonstrating that the transition to Creative Cloud is happening sooner than expected,” said Shantanu Narayen, president and chief executive officer, Adobe.
