Adobe Creative Cloud|Graphic Design|AI Features|PC/MAC|Digital Download

I bought this software on a Black Friday deal which was less than half the full price. Great price but be aware that the code doesn't arrive immediately - it can take up to 4 hours (mine took nearly 3 hours) so as a self-employed designer I've been stuck waiting to get on with my work! No issues with redeeming the offer once I got the code though.

Say what you will about Adobe's business model, buying the subcription through Amazon is a good way to save a decent amount over buying it direct from Adobe. Amazon has regularly given a good discount a few times a year for a while now, and I always make sure to renew when it is in this discounted period. You can redeem the code even while you have an active subscription and it will extend your subscription.There are plenty of other pieces of software that try to take the place of adobe's staple programs, and while some a very good, none of them in my experience match the functionality of Adobe's offering. And if you make use of a range of these programs then the All Apps plan is the only real option out there.

Slightly unusual for a one star rating, I absolutely love the product: everything I was expecting (and more). But, I was massively disappointed about the big brother bullying tactics employed by Adobe (although if you pushed me I would agree, not entirely Amazon's fault!).I have experienced giving my credit card details to American IT companies before (Network Solutions in my case) and invoking an "auto renew" relationship. Have you ever tried cancelling it? They make it incredibly arduous to the point of being almost impossible to cancel.So, I purchased from Amazon (at a little additional cost) so that I would buy ONLY a one year subscription. If I want to renew at the end of the year then I will choose to renew by myself.Got into trouble the moment I tried to redeem the purchase on the Adobe website. Basically they were saying that if I did not give them my credit card details then they could not validate my purchase as they would not have a valid credit card (their words) to renew at the end of the year - precisely what I was trying to avoid in purchasing from Amazon.Unbelievable for a product that I had already paid over £500 for. Anyway, to cut long story shorter, after 1.75 hours on a chat link to a (actually very helpful) Adobe guy they relented and somehow forced my redemption through.So I got what I wanted but came out of the encounter feeling slightly screwed and very angry that I had to fight to get Adobe (and thus by extension Amazon - they did sell it to me after all) to honour their agreement.So come on Amazon, use some of your might to stop this kind of thing happening, I trust you, but wouldn't trust Adobe with the proverbial barge pole!Still love the product though!!

I bought this license for my son so that he can improve his graphic design work. He is very pleased with the software.

The Creative Cloud code does work but you have to redeem it in the right place. If you are renewing an existing subscription do not try to register it through the Register a Product option in your account settings but go to "redeem dot adobe dot com" and make sure you are logged into your student account and paste the code there. It might take a minute to update on your account but I received an email saying that my redemption code was accepted and it appeared on my account after that.

I use several of the Adobe apps normally on a direct Adobe subscription but the Amazon deal was too good to pass on.Amazon would like me to comment on ‘warmth’ and ‘thickness’ neither are in any way relevant but rather amusing suggestions! Maybe they mean how hot do Adobe programs make your computer run causing the fan to kick in? Who knows 😂😂I use photoshoot and Lightroom on a daily basis as a photographer and honestly don’t think other programs come close to matching them on ease of use.Indesign and illustrator I also use regularly and find fairly intuitive and extremely powerful.If using 3 or more apps you really should be buying the all app bundle

I expected it to be easier with apps. It turned out that there are a lot of things that are actually not complicated, but they are not that easy to do either. You also need a good eye for images. Otherwise, there are quite a few programs and they have everything you need. The only downside is that it downloads all my applications to the computer's main drive. Which as you can guess is bad. I tried installing to another drive, but either I'm dumb or the app won't let me.

Last year I took out the CC subscription at a promotional price £13.15 (teacher), next month Adobe wanted to increase this to £24.96. Adobe only offers the promotional price for the first year and not on renewals, so if you want to get the best price buy the code from amazon and add to your account, my next bill is December 2023.
