Want To Know More About Your Adobe Licensing Requirement? Let Us Help You

/0 Comments/in , , /by

 

From Perpetual to Cloud licensing model, Adobe has come a long way. In order to suit the licensing requirements of each and every customer, they have constantly changed their licensing services. At present, Adobe offers its customers two types of licensing:

1) Adobe Cloud for Enterprise Also known as CCE

2) Adobe Cloud for Teams Also known as CCT

Although both types of licensing are available for Adobe customers, it’s important that you understand both of them before choosing one for your enterprise. In this article, we have tried to explain the differences between CCE and CCT in order to help you make the right choice!

 

Sign-On

CCE has a Single Sign-on option which makes it easier for the admin to manage license deployment. On the other hand, CCT requires every user to have a username that they can use to download Adobe software.

 

Cloud Space:

CCE offers a shared Cloud space which can be accessed by all the users. CCT, however, assigns every user his/her own Cloud space. Once that space is fully utilized, the user either has to delete the old files or transfer them to a storage device in order to make more space.

 

Terms of Purchase:

CCE can be bought via resellers and is available under 2 different licensing programs: VIP and ETLA (Enterprise Term Licensing Agreement).

  • If the customer chooses to buy CCE under VIP, the price is fixed for upto 1 or 3 years in US Dollars and has to be paid as and when the number of licenses are increased. The license count under VIP can only be reduced at the end of the anniversary date, which will fall after 1 year or 3 years, depending on the accepted terms at the time of order placement.
  • If the customer chooses to buy CCE under ETLA, the price is fixed in US Dollars for 3 years and the payment has to be made once a year on pro-rata basis. Just like under VIP, the license count under ETLA can only be reduced at the end of anniversary date, which will fall after 1 year or 3 years, depending on the accepted terms at the time of order placement.

 

CCT can be bought via Resellers or directly from Adobe website, and is available only under the VIP licensing program.

 

  • If the customer chooses to buy CCE under VIP, the price is fixed for upto 1 or 3 years in US Dollars and has to be paid as and when the number of licenses are increased. The license count under VIP can only be reduced at the end of the anniversary date, which will fall after 1 year or 3 years, depending on the accepted terms at the time of order placement.
  • If the customer chooses to buy CCT from the Adobe website, the only mode of payment is via Credit card and the customer can choose to pay either monthly or annually. The billing will be done from Digital River, Ireland in US Dollars equivalent to the local currency where you will be using the product.

 

So here’s everything you need to know about both the licensing models Adobe offers. Hope it helps you to choose the one that suits your requirement. If you have any more questions, send us an e-mail at <ashish@aisplglobal.com>.

Creative Suite vs. ‘Just a Few’ Apps: How to Decide Which Adobe Products to Pick

/0 Comments/in /by

Although you can still purchase older editions of the older Adobe suites such as CS6, most creatives and professionals are moving over to Adobe Creative Cloud.

Adobe Creative Cloud is a cloud-based system that stores all your programs, files and information on the web which can be accessed through your unique login details.

Not only is this more secure, but it also saves you space on your computer or external hard drive. Perfect!

But the range of great tools, security and storage comes at a price – with monthly subscription fees varying depending on the apps you use. To ensure you’re not spending more than you need to, you’ll need to consider what you actually need from Adobe Creative Cloud.

 

What will you be using it for?

All of Adobe’s individual apps do drastically different things – and while a creative professional may use them all on a daily basis, others may have absolutely no need for half of them. If you subscribe to the entire suite, you will gain access to:

  • Photoshop
  • Lightroom
  • Illustrator
  • InDesign
  • Experience Design (Beta)
  • Premiere Pro
  • After Effects
  • Project Felix
  • Dreamweaver
  • Muse
  • Acrobat Pro
  • Animate
  • Audition
  • Bridge
  • Character Animator (Beta)
  • Media Encoder
  • Fuse (Preview)
  • Flash Builder
  • InCopy
  • Prelude
  • Spark
  • Scout
  • SpeedGrade
  • Story Plus
  • PhoneGap Build
  • Gaming SDK
  • Extension Manager
  • ExtendScript Toolkit

Wow, that’s a lot of apps! But really, how many do you need? If your job (or hobby) is related to graphic design, do you really need an app aimed at app developers for example?

If you’re not going to be using the majority of apps on a regular basis, you may be able to get a better deal on just a few apps instead.

 

Add the monthly cost of your chosen apps. How does it compare to the cost of the entire Creative Suite?

Once you’ve determined which of the apps you actually need, take a look to see how much they cost to subscribe to individually. Prices range depending on the individual app, with some being higher due to their wide range of features or complexity.

Add together the cost of subscribing to each app individually and check your total. If it’s lower than the cost of subscribing to the full creative suite, that’s great – you’re saving money!

But in the event it ends up being more, you may as well pay for the Suite subscription and enjoy the option to use the extra apps should you ever need to.

 

So whether just an individual app is enough for your needs or you’d be better off going all out and subscribing to the full Creative Cloud Suite, check out your options here at AisplStore!
