Right now, that the exchange rate has gone down, and the $ and € are pretty much the same in price, it's gotten a bit better, but when I updated my CS5 with my CS6, the exchange rate was very unfavorable, and when the US version was US$599, I paid €799 for the exact same -English- version, which at that time was the equivalent of just over US$1,100. I agree with God I hate Adon'tbe that it's turned into a money thing.Īdobe doubles the price for stuff in Europe, even if I buy the English version, I pay twice as much as the English version in the US.

In the time that people still would buy their perpetual license, Adobe had the "pressure" to come up with something in the new version that made it worthwhile to upgrade. The Creative Suite hasn't really seen any MAJOR update since they went to the Cloud.

It's either Photoshop and Lightroom for €12,39, or the whole package for €61,99. If I now want to get InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Acrobat Pro, I have to get the full package, because they cleverly took out the design software. When I was still able to skip a version, I would pay around €500 for the upgrade (also one of those things, but I'll get back to that a little later). Then Adobe figured out that people didn't buy every version, so they basically forced you to buy the upgrade of the next version to be eligble for the upgrade price.
