So, basically you get 20+ apps for the price of a single app. A single CC tool could instead be purchased by itself via a Single-App Subscription – but there is no academic discount on that plan, meaning it could work out to be more expensive than just getting everything for a student or teacher. So if you want it all – and all in one complete package – then Adobe offers full Creative Cloud membership at a 60-70% discount for students and teachers (at just $19.99 or £16.24 or €19,50 or A$21.99 a month for your first year, or less than $1/day)… This gives you the entire “Master Suite” and much more – essentially, the new 2023 versions of all the latest and greatest products that Adobe makes, with thousands of new features and improvements compared to CS6 – plus ongoing upgrades included at no additional cost, so your tools are always up to date with current technology and innovations.Īdobe only offers an education discount on the Creative Cloud “All Apps” subscription – meaning you get all CC tools and services for one (reduced) price.

And while there are a lot of misconceptions about CC, the main products like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, etc., still download and run on your computer desktop as normal. Several years ago, in fact, they increased the discount on Creative Cloud to up to 70% off the regular prices. As cool and powerful as that software was, it was hard to afford in school – even after the student/teacher discount.Īdobe stopped selling CS6 over five years ago, as the version reached EOL and end of support – but fortunately the company still offers deep discounts for education customers on the latest Creative Cloud release.

The last perpetual version available, Creative Suite 6 from 2012, historically had full prices ranging from $399 for Dreamweaver through $999 for Photoshop Extended and on up to $2,599 upfront for the Master Collection suite, which contained all CS6 applications.

Let’s face it, Adobe’s product prices have traditionally seemed expensive in past years, especially on a student’s budget.
