[UPDATE – Also see our all-new Creative Cloud 2021 Giveaway!]

Last week Adobe shipped the all-new “CC” lineup of products, the next release following last year’s CS6.  The CC version contains hundreds of new features compared to CS6, and it is available only via Creative Cloud membership… And that is exactly what we’re giving away below.

In all, the Creative Cloud includes 15 new CC desktop applications (Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC, Muse CC, and all the rest), together with other comple­mentary tools and services (Acrobat XI Pro, Lightroom, DPS, Typekit, and many more). See the entire contents of what’s in Creative Cloud, where all ongoing product upgrades are automatically included at no additional charge.

Also now available are all the free CC trial downloads, if you want try them out to see what’s new for yourself – and they will install and run side-by-side with any older CS versions you may have, without difficulty.

Meanwhile, Adobe is continuing to sell the older Creative Suite 6 software for those who want a static version with traditional licensing, and the free CS6 trials are still out there as well.
