Other than that I think it’s fair way to license and an incredible value if you use 3 or more applications in the Creative Cloud suite of tools. I’ve never had that much of an issue with the monthly Adobe subscription licensing model other than wishing there was a video focus bundle that could save me a few bucks every month.

#AdobeĪdobe had been testing this trial reduction back in January it seems and some users were seeing 7 day trials when the CC install stated 30 days. Trial Period is now changed from 30 days to 7 days.

This feels to me like the first scary change in the Adobe cloud licensing model. No reason was cited other than to “ensure that trial lengths align more accurately with how trials are being used” which means absolutely nothing other than the beans counters were counting beans and the end user will be the ones who lose out. That’s about a 75% reduction in time that you can run the Creative Cloud suite before you have to pay up. Word came down from the Creative Cloud yesterday that Adobe is changing its trial period from 30 days, reducing it down to 7 days.
