[UPDATE – Also see our new Summer CC 2018 Giveaway!]

Last June Adobe shipped the CC lineup of creative tools, the new product line that replaces 2012’s CS6.  The CC version contains hundreds of new features compared to CS6, and it is available only via Creative Cloud membership.

Last week, Adobe announced that they will soon be shipping a major milestone upgrade to CC that will be called the Creative Cloud 2014 Release… And that is exactly what we’re giving away for free below, and it’s open to everyone world­wide.

In all, Creative Cloud 2014 will come with 15 new desk­top applica­tions (Photo­shop CC 2014, Illus­trator CC 2014, InDesign CC 2014, Muse CC 2014, and all your favorites), together with other comple­mentary tools and services (such as Acrobat Pro, Light­room, DPS, Behance ProSite, Typekit) and much more. See the entire contents of what’s in Creative Cloud, where all ongoing upgrades are auto­matic­ally included at no addi­tional charge.

So this means that all current Creative Cloud subscribers will automatically receive the new CC 2014 Release whenever they want it. We expect this software will be available to download immediately on the CC 2014 launch date, and you’ll be able to install and run it alongside any older applica­tions you may have, including CS6 and CC 2013.
