Gerrit, "mechanically" the CC apps behave like Adobe apps of old when
you bought the download (no-box) version. Ie: you download a
multi-megabyte file which you install, then run the app entirely on
your workstation. Load and Save works as before for local files;
nothing has changed there. No forced storing in the cloud.
So the Cloud moniker is a bit of marketing hype.
yes, it's a software subscription with a very misleading name; use of the
software has nothing to do with "clouds"; i have completely ignore the cloud
storage part (and refuse to use Adobe's name for my software subscription)
If you subscribe annually the legality check only occurs every 180
days, so you could go off on a long trip and not worry -- in theory.
Who knows in practice?
i have had an annual agreement (monthly payments) since last May and it
definitely checks in at least monthly, and has caused me hassles when i don't
use at least one app in the suite once a month; others have had big problems
when the associated credit card expired (Adobe just turned off the software,
and it was not easy to get it restored)
or do you mean if you pay for a year in advance? if that's possible now it's a
new feature, probably in response to some very pointed complaints from people
who would have preferred an annual invoice
