Thought I would resurrect this thread. Currently, I can get Adobe Creative Suite for about $130 off of my university license. However, it does not appear that my university will be taking part in the subscription based Adobe Cloud. The reasoning is that the Cloud would be cost-effective up to a certain number of users in comparison to the current contract. However, how does the university "pick" the people who get Creative Suite versus those that don't? If everyone on campus wanted Creative Suite, the yearly expense would far surpass our current contract. Basically, b/c the yearly expense would be unknown based on faculty demand and turnover, the university will not take part in the subscription-based Cloud. At least that is what I am being told.

Thus, the Cloud does not seem to benefit people like me who have been living the sweet life for years. Furthermore, my university never upgraded to the Creative Suite 6 license, so 5.5 is going to be it. A frowny for a sad day…I guess if you were paying the sticker price for Creative Suite all along the Cloud would be a bargain. I'm curious if any other university personnel are approaching a similar scenario as me?
