Just note that Adobe's new cloud arrangement for their products, is not really cloud app based. You still need to install the applications locally. It just doesn't use a local key authentication, but requires net access to continually authenticate. A way to get a constant income stream from you. If you stop their subscription, you no longer have use of your locally installed applications.
Cloud subscription authentication has caused problems in enterprise environments. Not able to get past corporate firewalls. In fact, we purchased Adobe enterprise versions which will authenticate on a local machine, just like CS6 did, so no need to do so from the net. But had to purchase 100+ licenses, many of which going unused so far.
Which is one reason we hold on to Adobe CS6 Design/Production suite licenses on our current machines as if they were gold.
