Why isn't a year better than a few days? The tar pit problem. Or better yet, see if Adobe Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements are good enough to meet your needs - those each have 30-day free trials and still offer low, one-time prices. If you just want to see whether you'd like the CC ecosystem or give the 2022 applications a go before committing, you may be better off getting the seven-day free trial and taking it for a spin before the promo ends on Nov. The discount is only available to new subscribers, and it's limited to one subscription per customer.Check Adobe's regional sites for details. The discounts are available in other regions, including the UK and Australia.And full price is what you'll be paying in perpetuity, because I've never seen a discount for existing customers. At the end of the year, it will automatically renew at the full price.If you opt to continue the subscription, the price goes up to $53 per month ($635.88 annually) for the Individual plan and students and teachers, and to $80 per month for teams.The Teams plan is for $60 per month per license. The Student and Teachers plan is for a year's subscription paid in monthly installments of $16, or for 12 months paid up front for $191.88. The Creative Cloud Individual Plan offer is for a year's subscription paid in monthly installments of $30 or for 12 months paid up front for $359.88.You also get access to all of Adobe's fonts, along with 100GB of cloud storage, and all the mobile apps, including Premiere Rush, Adobe Fresco, Adobe Spark, Photoshop on iPad and Illustrator on iPad.

That's 20-plus Adobe apps, including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom and Dreamweaver.

As attractive as the Creative Cloud pricing sounds, though, you may need to do some strategic thinking before plonking down your credit card. If you were planning on subscribing for the first time or upgrading from your dependable old (old, old) perpetual-license version and you qualify, this is a good time to do it.
