Looking at Creative Cloud, with its 5-star customer reviews? Adobe has announced new and unprecedented special offer that we have to share with you…

Using a limited-time promotion code, you can now join the Creative Cloud for $29.99 a month for the first year, which is 40% off the regular $49.99 price of an annual membership.

No previous ownership of any Adobe product is necessary, but the price reduction is only available during this very brief window.

This deal comes via the big annual NAB show and is aimed at video professionals — though it’s apparent that anyone interested can use it… It’s valid through April 19, 2013 in North America, and available one-to-a-customer direct from the Adobe Store only:

With a new version of Creative Suite expected soon, one of the key benefits of Creative Cloud is that all members automatically get access to the latest upgrades and new CS features as soon as they are released for no additional cost.

[UPDATE (May 2013) – The 60%-70% discount is back! Get the CC Student & Teacher Edition for just $19.99/£15.88/€19,99/A$14.99 a month, with no coupon code required.]

The regular pricing for Adobe’s new Creative Cloud all-in-one offering is US$50/month with an annual membership. Recently, the company extended their introductory offer for existing CS customers, which gives a 40% discount off that price…

How about for education customers? On price, the offer is similar – all students and teachers can now pay just US$29.99/month with an annual plan (under $1/day) – but importantly, no previous ownership of any Adobe product is required and no coupon code is necessary.  Outside of North America, it’s an even greater level of reduction at £22.46 or €30,74 or A$24.99 per month (including VAT), which is up to 52% off.

Get every CS6 tool — everything in the entire CS6 Master Collection — plus more, including exclusive new products and features whenever they’re released — at a special rate for students and teachers… Just $29.99 a month.

The Adobe Student and Teacher Editions look like a great deal. They offer big discounts, as much as 75% off normal prices. They’re available for most of Adobe’s most popular products, including Creative Suite 6, Lightroom 4, Acrobat XI, Elements 11, and the Creative Cloud.  They can be purchased by anyone who qualifies – primary and secondary school students, homeschoolers, college or university students, faculty, teachers, and administrators.  Even part-time students or teachers can be eligible, and there is no age limitation. They’re available pretty much worldwide in many languages on both Windows and Mac, and you don’t need any kind of coupon or promotion code to get the deep discounts.

So what’s the catch? Is the Academic software different or limited somehow? Is there any sort of time restriction, time limit, or time out – do Adobe Student Editions expire? Or are they unusable for commercial purposes?

[UPDATE (January 2013) – All existing Creative Suite owners from CS3 through CS6 can continue to receive this special upgrade discount off the regular price of Creative Cloud.]

It’s a busy time of year, but Adobe recently confirmed they are extending the 40% discount Creative Cloud introductory offer for existing customers of CS3, CS4, CS5, CS5.5, or CS6:

“Based on strong customer demand, Adobe has decided to continue to provide Creative Suite customers worldwide (CS3 and later) the option of joining Creative Cloud for 40% off or $29.99 / £27.34 / €36,89 / A$29.99 per month for their first year.”

The updated terms and conditions no longer show any ending date for the special… This is important because starting in 2013, only owners of CS5.x will be eligible for discounted upgrade pricing to CS6… In other words, Creative Suite is changing to a “one-version-back” upgrade policy.  But this upgrade discount to the Creative Cloud from all versions (CS3-CS6) will remain.

If you don’t feel you’re ready for the Cloud at $29/month or would just need/use a single Adobe tool at this time, then there’s also the option of individual product subscriptions such as Photoshop CS6 (including the latest updates) for $19/month.

So if you’re trying to decide which path to choose, there are different strengths and weak­nesses to consider. If you prefer to continue with perpetual licensing, that’s fine as it works the same way it always has. If instead you want to check out the Creative Cloud (even with a lifetime free level of membership), Adobe has recently been adding good value there.

[UPDATE (April 2013) – Check out Adobe's new coupon for 40% off Creative Cloud!]

A year ago Adobe featured probably their biggest promotion ever, the extremely popular “Switcher” offer for 50% off Premiere Pro and the Production Premium suite…

Now that CS6 is out, they’ve just relaunched the deal in a smaller but still very attractive form – they’re now offering 30% off the price of the Full CS6 Production Premium suite with coupon code SWITCH, or 40% off membership to the new Creative Cloud, which includes all CS6 tools and more.

The offer is geared for owners of competitive software as well as owners of older Adobe suites who can now buy the latest CS6 release (Windows or Mac) at a terrific savings, and these discounts are available all over the world…

The promotion is officially targeted at video users and creators, but because the suite contains top products like Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, Flash Professional, and Audition in addition to Premiere Pro, After Effects, Prelude, and SpeedGrade (see the complete list of applications included), many customers can take advantage of this sale.  For example, the normal price of Photoshop CS6 Extended is US$999, but with this special you get that plus an entire suite of 8 other top products for US$1329 total.
