With Adobe shifting from the CS6 platform to the Creative Cloud subscription model, a lot is going on in the Adobe world. If you're looking for a (or Creative Cloud free trial), there are a variety of ways you can go, depending on what type of image editing software you require. Though it can seem a bit complicated, DoNotPay can help you obtain free trials and refunds with Adobe to make sure you're getting the right services to suit your needs.
What You Need to Know About CS6 Free Trials
The Creative Suite (CS) software packages have been enormously popular since CS1 was rolled out by Adobe in 2003. A decade later, CS6 was announced as the last version of Creative Suite and Adobe has since been in the process of transitioning to its next generation of software packages. Although a CS6 free trial is no longer available as Adobe phases it out completely, here are the basics you should know about the transition to the Creative Cloud (CC) subscription model:
- A variety of free trials are available under the Creative Cloud umbrella
- CS6 users can check out new features with a free trial for CC
- You can choose the full package or individual apps (like Acrobat Pro and Photoshop)
- Free trials are seven days for individuals
- Student and teacher discounts unlock significant value
- Teams and businesses can access 14-day trials
Like much of the cloud-computing world, Adobe is now moving exclusively to the subscription model, providing recurring revenue for the company but also making it easy for users to stay up to date. Although the $52.99 per month overall price for the full CC package is on the pricey end, individuals can also choose individual services for less (e.g., Photoshop is $20.99 a month).
Getting a CS6 or Photoshop Free Trial on Your Own
If you have CS6 and are curious about the new offerings by Adobe, you can move forward in a variety of ways. Consider these steps to get started:
- Sign in or sign up for an Adobe account
- Begin a free trial for the full Creative Cloud package
- Add a valid credit card to your account
- Test out the most important apps for your needs
- Cancel your Adobe subscription within seven days (or 14 days for a business account)
The full Creative Cloud package lets you access more than 20 different apps, ranging from classics like Photoshop and Acrobat to lesser-known products like Audition and Substance 3D. With a seven-day trial, you will be able to test out the apps that you will use the most, allowing you to pick and choose individual apps at the end of the trial period and save money.
In any case you decide to purchase the software, you can find the costs below:
| User | Cost | Benefits | Refund |
| Individual | $13.14/month
$157.68/year | Inclusive of:
| Cancel within 14 days to get a full refund |
| Business | $50.50/month
$606.00/year | Inclusive of:
Plus Cloud services:
| Cancel within 14 days to get a full refund |
If you only plan on regularly using one or two apps, follow Adobe's guidelines for canceling your subscription and then sign up for the individual apps you wish to use. Later on, you can always upgrade to the full suite of apps, if needed.
