Adobe has long become a brand and serves both ordinary people and large companies. Creative Suite began its work in 2003. This software package has been offering users all kinds of software products combined under one “roof” for a long time. People could acquire the licenses of the software that they needed. Also used synchronization and storage of their projects.
Over time, an alternative to this software package appeared - Adobe Creative Cloud. Moreover, this set came to replace the old version. Of course, Creative Suite was not closed, but work on it was suspended, most likely, for a very long time. The fact is that the new tool has become more convenient at times, more comfortable to use and much more functional. Why do we need the program Adobe Creative Cloud - we will understand further.
Change for the better
The main difference between the two versions of the sets remains accessibility. If earlier Creative Suite had to be downloaded in huge volumes, then Creative Cloud fully lives up to its name and works with the cloud, which, incidentally, is hosted on Amazon Web Services. The meaning of the innovation is that now the user does not need to buy programs and every time follow their updates. Everyone can take one or another software “for rent” for a fee. New add-ons will be downloaded independently to your PC.
Despite the fact that an Internet connection is still necessary, all programs work offline. Just if updates come out, you need to connect to the server.
Not just a cloud
Those who first met Adobe CC Creative Cloud for the first time in 2013 decided that it was an ordinary cloud for data storage. But in fact, the functions of this program are much wider. The user has access to 20 gigabytes of workspace, as well as synchronization, expansion, hosting, etc. Now users can synchronize program settings between different devices, create applications and magazines, work with Behance publication.
But the main thing is that this is not just a data storage program. The main thing here is the availability of a set of software provided by Adobe. It has long been known that Creative Suite is the standard for many users. But such a luxury is very expensive and forces those who cannot afford the application package to turn to third-party resources, risking the security of their PC.
Savings and Utility
As mentioned earlier, in versions of CS had to overpay for those software that were not needed. The "cloud" version saved buyers from this problem. Now you can not only purchase the most necessary, but also get the update on time, without paying extra for it.
With such “goodies” the company made life easier for itself. The fact is that earlier with the release of the update, I had to spend a lot of money on presentations, videos and reviews. It was necessary to release such innovations that could be remembered to everyone who was going to purchase a new version. They were supposed to be effective and attract buyers.
In practice, the company was forced to release updates that were insignificant, but helped to improve the product and save users from errors and bugs. In the SS package, updates come regardless of their importance. These can be global improvements, as well as minor fixes.
The developers were able to pay attention to the most important errors. Now they do not need to create new and vibrant functions that small groups of people will use. There was a time to carefully study the reviews and suggestions in order to improve the product, and not add to it not too demanded innovations.
How it works?
The company has made it very easy to get started with Adobe Creative Cloud. What kind of program is this, we already understood, now let's move on to a more detailed discussion. To start working with it, you need to go to the software website. There you need to pay for a package of documents, pre-registering. After that you will need to install a small application, literally in a couple of minutes. Then you should go into it and log in.
We have several tabs available. The most popular and most important is Apps. There are all the programs Creative Suite. It is worth noting that all softwares are installed on a PC and are by no means web applications. They work correctly and offline. To install, click the "Install" button.
Adobe Creative Cloud can update programs. Even the most minor fixes come to SS users right away. Therefore, you can install the update in the same tab. Otherwise, users can use Behance, font and file management.
Details for professionals
Adobe Creative Cloud (what kind of program is it - we already know) has a whole set of CS applications. All updated versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and so on came out under the code name CC. There were all the same programs for working with video, Acrobat XI Professional appeared. The developers have added here and new software that was not previously presented to users.
Since 2013, Adobe Muse has been helping to create sites without involving codes. InCopy CC edits text material directly in layout. Photoshop Lightroom, already a favorite among photographers, edits, converts and performs batch processing of images. One cannot but mention the new line of Edge Tools and Services. Thanks to it, you can develop any interactive content, the basis for which will be web technology. In these softwares, you can create codes and animations.
Benefits
So, let's take a look at the pros of Adobe Creative Cloud. What kind of program is this? It is worth highlighting the most obvious advantages. All of the above software should include a convenient tool CC Packager. This is a convenient addition that will help you deal with the installation of applications, their updating, activation and audit of licenses.
The rest of the SS series has the following advantages:
- A set of creative and innovative tools.
- The presence of cloud storage.
- Synchronization.
- Access to licensed fonts.
- Publish content.
- Reviews, operational support and help.
Payment
With the release of the "cloud" service, the price of a software package has become much more affordable. A full set costs 2200 rubles if you want to pay monthly for products. If you sign up for a year, then a month will cost you 1,500 p. One application costs an average of 600 rubles. This option is great for those who use only a couple of softwares. For those who can not afford to pay a set of programs at such a cost, discounts are possible. For example, students or teachers can get apps cheaper. The best option is for large companies.
Pirated versions
It just so happened that pirated resources often violate the license agreement and can post hacked versions of programs on their websites. The company decided to secure Adobe Creative Cloud. What this program was, many knew, so those who could not afford the purchase of applications dreamed of free access.
It's no secret that it was the program from Adobe that became the most popular on torrent trackers. Photoshop has always been and will be searched. This program is pirated even more often than a package of office applications.
As a result of such incidents, the developers created the software in the cloud, thereby intending to outwit the crackers. But ironically, Adobe Creative Cloud managed to “crack” on the very first day. Therefore, all the software found themselves on a popular pirate site.
Of course, installing from such resources is not only dangerous, but also illegal. Still, millions of people around the world use Adobe applications. But not everyone has the opportunity to pay a monthly subscription. Moreover, such a problem would disappear if the most popular applications had free analogues. But what is not, is not. Therefore, everyone decides on their own - to steal software on a third-party resource or to officially issue a license.
2015 update
By 2015, the Adobe Creative Cloud software package was able to gain popularity. What this application is - everyone already knew. In addition, a big update appeared this summer. It is worth noting immediately that all the software over the years received updates on their own. But the company decided to release a major update for the overall cloud system.
Adobe Creative Cloud 2015 has become more global. It's about synchronizing the application. Now you can continue to work on the project on another device. The program library at this time synchronizes all the resources that were involved.
There was an additional function - Adobe Stock. Service for many will become useless. Now you can search for third-party photos without leaving the application. Perhaps this is convenient, but has ceased to be free. The fact is that earlier it was possible to go to Google and steal all the necessary images. With Adobe Stock you have to buy them. You can do this with subscription or one-time.
Product Activation
On the Internet, a product such as Adobe Creative Cloud - X FORCE. This keygen will help to crack any "cloud" application. In the window, select the product that you need to install in an unfair way. Next, click "Generate." So you will have a serial number.
The problem is that using Adobe Creative Cloud 2015 X FORCE, it’s not enough just to enter the received code. You need to install the desired software, open it and select "License Now." Manually enter the serial number we received . On the next page, select "Connect later."
In the program itself now you need to go to the "Help" tab and only there select Sign In. In the window that appears, indicate that you are unable to connect to the Internet. Thus we use offline activation. Now we request the code from the program, copy it and send it to X FORCE. Keygen must be open all this time.
Now click “Generate” again and get the response code. It must be inserted into the program. The Activate button will turn blue. Click it and use the resulting application.
Software Removal
If you suddenly needed an installation, but you do not know how to remove Adobe Creative Cloud from your computer, you need to carefully understand this issue. The fact is that the application contains many important functions, the removal of which can lead to errors. But there are situations in which file corruption occurs, or it becomes impossible to install the update. Then you should turn to the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner add-on.
If you have an error with the code “2”, then you need to download and run the file responsible for uninstalling the software. In this case, use administrator rights. An archive called Creative Cloud Uninstaller.zip is also available on the site. You should download it and get the executable file with the extension .exe. After successful removal, you need to install the application again. This option is designed for Windows.
If you have a Mac and don’t know how to remove Adobe Creative Cloud, the following instructions will be helpful. You need to download the same archive and connect the DMG file. If you see a window with a security warning, click "Open." Now select “Uninstall” and the application will disappear from your PC.
Summary
Adobe Creative Cloud Pro turned out to be much more functional and affordable than the CS version. In addition to regular improvements to the software, which is included in the toolbox, the company does not forget to make more global updates. They affect the optimization of the application and the synchronization of all programs. Often there are updates that contribute to the emergence of new options. Thus, Adobe allows its users not only to work with popular tools, but also to use modern technologies for optimization.
