1. Our office has two individual CS5.5 licensing on two machines. We are interested in pricing for CS6 for several machines within the building to replace that program. What is the first step?

   • Hey there Lindsay, Adobe has just announced their new “CC” release to follow CS6, and generally are recommending Creative Cloud for Teams for smaller numbers of licenses like in your office.

     However, you can still purchase CS6 if you want, and get an upgrade quote based on that if you prefer.

     Does that answer all your questions? If not, then just post back.

2. Hi there,

   I am teaching at a secondary school in Zimbabwe and am interested in the most cost effective way to purchase group licensing for our school for the Creative Suite. We currently have it installed on numerous Macs at the school but would like to install it on the students’ personal computers (Mac/Windows) so that they can work on it both at home and at school.

   Is the group licensing for a limited number of computers?

   Can we uninstall the program on a specific computer when the student is finished the course and reinstall it on an incoming students computer?

   Would Creative Cloud be a better option?

   I have read a lot of the information on this website and am still unclear as to which would be the best option for us.

   Look forward to your response!

   • Hi Jenna, thanks for visiting. With the launch of Creative Cloud for Teams, Adobe has changed up their volume offerings somewhat and we’re not sure what is available in your country…

     Definitely Creative Cloud allows each license to be installed on up to two computers (e.g., work/school plus home), including both Windows and Mac OS at the same time.

     And definitely Creative Cloud for Teams allows for flexibly reassigning a license to another primary user/login at any time, whereas the standard Creative Cloud for Individuals does not.

     Generally Adobe’s group licensing programs are based on purchasing a certain number of seats for use within your organization – although for education (only) they do also offer a flexible concurrent or floating licensing plan.

     There may also be the possibility of getting perpetual CS6 licenses instead of CC memberships if that’s what you prefer.

     All in all, your best bet is to contact Adobe directly and find out what they offer for you in your region.

     Good luck, and feel free to stop back anytime if there’s anything we can help with!

3. Hi, please provide a quote for Adobe CS6 32-bit. This will be for K-12 public schools. I am interested in 25 to 45 licenses.

   • Hello Susan, not sure if CS6 is still available for volume purchase, as Adobe discontinued it in the channel earlier this year…

     However, customers can still purchase individual copies of CS6 direct from Adobe – either for home/commercial use or for student/teacher.

     Or instead of CS6, you can check out the newer Creative Cloud for Teams (which is also available for education, and includes free upgrades).

     Essentially, CS6 is over two years old now and Adobe has moved all new volume licensing to Creative Cloud, with the recent CC 2014 release.

     Hope that helps!

4. I have been looking for photoshop cs6 and other cs6 products as a volume license with commercial & international versions because I have a big request from Korea.

   Could you help me out to get these products please?

   Thanks

   • Greetings Paul, you can still download CS6 free trials and if you’re an individual customer, then you can still buy CS6 direct from Adobe – however, if you want to make a volume purchase, then that is no longer possible because Adobe stopped selling it in the volume channel last year…

     See the previous comment just above yours for more details on this.

   • Sorry Rosmery, Adobe actually ceased selling CS6 on their website last year. The reason is because it’s nearly 4 years old now and increasingly unsupported; they stopped releasing updates for it some time ago as the newer CC quickly grew and took over. With the CS6 software EOL and end of support, there are no updates, no bug fixes, and no guarantees it will run on future operating systems. So at this point we’ve stopped recommending it as a good or viable option going forward.

     Now, to use Adobe’s desktop tools you just sign up for a Creative Cloud subscription instead. There are various different plans & bundles available, offered either monthly or annually. Subscribers can access multiple versions and can use either CS6 or CC as desired.
