$50 a month.

"We are excited to announce that membership to the Adobe Creative Cloud will be available in the first half of 2012 at a price of $49.99 per month for individuals and $69.99 per month per seat for workgroups, both for an annual plan."

Finally! I was considering their subscriptions for awhile, but it was close to $40 per application, so that would mean spending almost $200/month to use the suite. Now that it's $50 for the whole thing, it makes perfect sense (especially because I only need it for side freelancing).
- Me too, seems like a really good price point, and you get 20G of cloud space...i want to see more detailsrusty_ace

I think a lot of enterprise software licensing is eventually going to go this route.
There's nothing in this article about the nitty-gritty of the 'flexibility' of the Creative Cloud. My guess is that it would utilize a token-based system where you exchange a token for the service(s) you require. The only problem with this is that tokens are ultimately limited because you only get so many of them to use at a time - and that's the catch 22.

So, this means you need to pay a whole year in advance to get that price, right?

I think they've been pushing up the price of upgrades so that this will look like a better option to us. I like owning the software. There probably are benefits to the cloud, like getting ongoing updates. But if you were comfortable with the features of an older version of the app you didn't need to keep paying.

If this is what I think it is (I haven't gone over the fine print) it's perfect for me. I want to be legal but I don't have that kind of money at the moment.

I teach a night class at my old Alma mater so I'm eligible for Student teacher discounts. $400 for Design Premium :-D
I'd rather own the software too but this does sound pretty good.

wow. that is pretty epic.
- prophetone0
interesting, $600 per year to lease or $2k for a 'cycle' and own it...
- I would assume you would not have to buy the software again, and again.dibec
- aka upgrades. so it may work out financially the same.dibec
- and now with the .5 updates arriving almost yearly, $600 sounds much better then 2krusty_ace
- that's assuming you NEED to be on the latest version of the thing, most people don'ternexbcn
- agreed, this sounds pretty decent. you don't really 'own' software anyway if i recall...prophetone
- Has there ever been a .5 CS release before? I don't think so.CyBrainX
- CS2, CS2.3...popovich
- Yes. CS 5.5 was a paid upgrade.Gucci

Would one be able to use the software if they didn't have an internet connection?

I really don't understand the need to own a version of software...what does it gain you to own a physical copy, of outdated code, stored on a disk, that is just collecting dust and wasting space.
- alicetheblue0
@arthur along with an internet connection you would needs loads of bandwidth, too?
