[UPDATE – See all of Adobe’s current deals & discounts!]

We have word of a new coupon code you can use to get an instant 10% off orders placed at the Adobe Store – for one week only…

This is a really special promotion, and here’s why: (1) You can use it to actually buy CS6 now at a discount, even before it has been released… (2) The offer is valid internationally, and, (3) It’s also stackable with other current deals.

You will receive an immediate one-time savings of 10% off orders of $375/£350/€400 or more containing full or upgrade versions of any Adobe software. In order to redeem the 10% discount, you must have the special promotion code SPRING10 applied in your Adobe shopping cart.

And good news for students: the offer is valid for both commercial and education customers – meaning you can get an extra 10% off the already-discounted academic prices for orders at that level.

What’s more, the coupon is stackable and may be used in conjunction with other deals – meaning you can combine it with the current $99 Lightroom 4 special worldwide, or whatever else is offered in your geography.

And most importantly, you can use it in combination with the special “grace period” offer previously announced where all buyers of the current version of Adobe software now (Creative Suite 5, either suite or individual, full or upgrade) will receive a free upgrade to CS6 when it comes out, with full support… This is already a savings for many people because with Adobe’s longstanding Tiered Upgrade Pricing Policy, it’s fewer steps and lower cost to upgrade to CS5.5 than to CS6.

[UPDATE (May 7th) – Creative Suite 6 is now shipping!]

This morning Adobe opened an official “grace period” for free upgrades to Creative Suite 6 for anyone who purchases the current Creative Suite software version today (full or upgrade), and for the next six weeks. This is a “first” for the company – formalizing and announcing a complimentary upgrade offer in advance – and means that if you buy CS5.5 or CS5 now (depending on the application), you will receive a free upgrade to CS6 when it comes out, which can save you significant money…

This news follows on the heels of the release of the free public Photoshop CS6 beta version last week (download here) – and opens the door for owners of older versions of Creative Suite such as CS4, CS3, and even CS2 with a clear upgrade path to CS6 at today’s current prices. Adobe puts this plainly in the Offer FAQ:

“If you upgrade to or purchase CS5.5 today, you’ll be paying the current price, plus you’ll get CS6 at no additional cost.   If you wait until CS6 ships, you’ll pay the price to upgrade to CS6, which may be higher.”

This Upgrade Assurance promotion is valid largely worldwide* for all commercial, education, government, and volume customers, and is good for individual applications as well as suites. It includes most current CS products (but not all – Acrobat, Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder, Con­tribute, and OnLocation individual products are excluded – although suites containing them are covered).  The free upgrades are definitely included for all new orders of Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5, and CS5.5 versions for all the rest.

We thought the deals were getting good with 20% off CS5.5 upgrades and Lightroom 3 for half price – but now we have two incredible new coupon codes to get 50% off purchases of the full CS5.5 Web Premium or CS5.5 Production Premium suites!

Web Premium is one of Adobe’s top-selling suites, containing Photoshop Extended, Illus­trator, Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro, Flash Professional, and four other major applications.

Production Premium is the package more focused on video production – with both Premiere Pro and After Effects, but also includes Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, and three others.

And now, the latest full Creative Suite 5.5 versions of either suite are available for half their regular prices – plus all other CS5.5 products for 15% off – to customers in the U.S., Canada (except Quebec), and Mexico when purchased through the Adobe Store… but you must have these coupons activated:

We have word of a new coupon code you can use get an instant 15% off orders placed at the Adobe Store – for eight days only…

You can receive a one-time savings of 15% off orders of US$375 or more containing full or upgrade versions of any Adobe software. In order to redeem the 15% discount, you must have the special promotion code LOVE15 applied in your Adobe shopping cart.

And good news for students: the offer is valid for both commercial and education customers – meaning you can get an additional 15% off the already-discounted academic pricing.

Outside of that exceptional case, the coupon may not be used in conjunction with any other offers – meaning you can’t combine it either with the current half-price on Lightroom offer, or with the 20% discount on CS5.5 upgrades offer (both of which are better anyway, and worldwide).

[UPDATE – See all of Adobe’s current deals & discounts!]

Adobe has just extended their popular current offer for all customers to save an additional 20% off the regularly-discounted upgrade price when you move up to CS5.5 (to either a suite or an individual product) from any earlier qualifying Adobe tool listed below.

This special was set to expire at year-end but has now been extended into March 2012 and continues to be available worldwide, with no coupon or promotion code required.  It’s valid for upgrading to all the latest CS5.5 versions, and also includes Photoshop CS5.1 and Illustrator CS5 as well.

The additional time comes following Adobe’s recent news of a major change in upgrade policy whereby only users with CS5.5 or CS5.0 would qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6 when it is released.

The new expiration dates for the additional 20% off upgrade savings are:

   North American Store:  Extended through March 15, 2012.
   European Stores:  Extended through 15 March 2012.
   Australia/NZ + Asia:  Extended through 15 March 2012.
