Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
The promotional price is for those who are switching away from Final Cut Pro.

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
An Adobe software owner who wants to upgrade can also benifit.

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
However you are not required to provide any proof that you actually own Final Cut Pro or Avid, so really its open to anyone.

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
I was wondering about that (eligibility requirement enforcement) but was hesitant to say as I haven't 'been there'.
Maybe someone at Adobe marketing has a sense of humor? :-) Andrew |

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
Really? So if I go to my local reseller and say I want to buy the suite at the promotional "switch" price they won't ask me for proof? I kinda doubt it... Would be nice though...

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
Except they never asked for any proof that I own a copy of FCP (I do) when I switched. So as long as you have the code it appears to be open to anyone.

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
I'm not surprised in a way. Just as we have to wait for a while for the downloadable trial versions to come out, it would also take them a fair bit of time (and away from programming the wonder-features for CS6) to create and manufacture a specific version that asked for proof of FCP ownership upon install.
Especially with the speed at which Adobe offered the 'switch' discount to disaffected FCP owners. There simply wouldn't have been the time. Andrew |

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
Yes, off course. But it's the reseller who should ask for proof of FCP/Avid ownership in the first place not the program. And this is what I am having a hard time believing. I'll try this in the next week. I'll ask my local reseller for the switch promotion and see if they ask for proof of ownership or something... I doubt that they would just hand the suite with 50% discount without me handing them some proof of Avid/FCP ownership.

I have no idea what the arrangements for resellers are, but it's 2011 and frankly buying software through a third party is pointless unless they have some special offer.

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
I tried to go the Adobe store and proceeded to checkout where one must type in the code. If I understand it correctly all that you have to do is to type in "SWITCH" and that's it. Didn't see no requests for a product serial or anything.
Has anybody done this? Does the request come at a later time? |

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
That is all they want. The promotional code is SWITCH.

Re: Adobe Suite PRICING
I bought it from videoguys and also got a 5% discount on top of the sale price for being a DVinfo member.
Videoguys.com - Now In Stock The secret is that it is a promotional thing, I think any body can get the discount. Dan |
