Adobe Creative Cloud is a service from Adobe Systems that gives users access to a collection of software for graphic design,video editing, web development, photography, and Cloud services.[1] Creative Cloud is hosted on Amazon Web Services.
Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) works on a software as a service model, a monthly/annual subscription service based on the cloud[2][3] whereas Adobe Creative Suite (CS) is purchased via a perpetual software license.[4] The CC is downloaded once from the Internet, installed directly on a local PC and used as long as the subscription remains valid. While online updates and multiple languages are included in the CC subscription, the CS requires a fee for access to new features and services in only one language. Both products can coexist in the same environment, are compatible and available as a set of applications installed individually or collectively. Adobe first announced the Creative Cloud in October 2011.[5] Initially, they maintained the perpetual license model and released another version of Adobe Creative Suite (CS) the following year.
On May 6, 2013, Adobe announced that they would not release new versions of the Creative Suite and that future versions of its software would only be available through the Creative Cloud.[6][7][8] The first new versions made only for the Creative Cloud were released on June 17, 2013.[9]
On October 4, 2013, Adobe announced that hackers copied from their systems encrypted data of 2.9 million customers, including passwords, names and credit card numbers.[10][11] Hackers also stole source code of Adobe's software, consequently paving the way for further attacks.[12] On October 20, 2013 the number of compromised user-names/passwords was increased to 38 million, but could go as high as 150 million.[13]
