Adobe Forums | Update your bookmarks

Posted by Vikrant in Creative Cloud on April 12, 2013

Last weekend, we were doing some streamlining down at the Adobe Forums. Nothing much, basic house cleaning, and other mundane stuff. Overall you should get a better experience, when you visit the forums. However, a few forums were renamed or moved around, and as a result, if you had bookmarked any one of those, you’ll receive an error that Item does not exist. The forums are still live and well, you’ll just need to update your bookmarks.

  1. Go to http://forums.adobe.com/
  2. Navigate to your forum.
  3. Update your bookmarks.

Again, sorry for any inconvenience caused. Please help spread the word around so that everyone knows. See you back the forums!

How to upgrade to Adobe Creative Cloud

Posted by Vikrant in Creative Cloud on January 9, 2013

totem-creative-cloud-80x80Adobe Creative Cloud is a simple monthly membership gives you the entire collection of the latest applications, tools, and more. Print, Imaging, Web? You can do it all. Plus, Creative Cloud members automatically get access to new products and exclusive updates as soon as they’re released. And, with cloud storage and the ability to sync to any device, your files are always right where you need them. Creative Cloud is available for individuals or teams.

You can read reviews posted by our customers on the Creative Cloud review page. You can also read my earlier blog post, How Creative Cloud can change the way you work.

All said and done: if you feel that Adobe Creative Cloud offers your business a compelling value proposition, and you already have an existing perpetual licence to Creative Suite, Adobe offers an easy upgrade path. And some special pricing.

Upgrade to Creative Cloud

To avail of the special upgrade price for Creative Cloud, you must have a registered copy of Creative Suite.

  • If you haven’t registered your copy yet, open any CS application and choose Help > Register.

Switch to the Cloud

Switching to the Adobe Creative Cloud is easy. You can do it online, and you should be up an running fairly quickly.

  1. Visit the Switch to the Cloud page and review the current offer.

  2. Sign in with your Adobe ID to see if you qualify for the upgrade. You need sign in with the same Adobe ID that you used to register your existing product.

  3. Continue with the on-screen wizard, and complete joining the Creative Cloud.

 

Downloading Apps

After you’ve joined the Creative Cloud, you can continue over to http://creative.adobe.com and sign in with your Adobe ID.

CS3+

If you’ve upgraded from CS3 or later, you can download the Apps from the Creative Cloud website. See an earlier blog post: How to download my Creative Cloud applications?

CS6

If you already have a CS6 Apps installed, you do not need you re-download them. You can convert a trial or a licensed version to a Creative Cloud version.

  1. Deactivate the product by choosing Help > Deactivate in any CS6 app.
  2. Launch the product again.  It will now launch in trial mode.
  3. Click the License this Software button located at the bottom of the screen.
