[Aindreas Gallagher] "are we mad to think they could actually do that? I can't decide if I'm barmy to be concerned about it - simply because adobe can't say anything about upcoming licensing terms."
I have had all indications that there will continue to be perpetual licenses. Nevertheless, Adobe had a lot more success getting people signed up for the Creative Cloud than they had expected. A client site where I freelance called yesterday and asked for the cost to upgrade their group perpetual license (5 seats). The Adobe rep told them the only option that they could offer at this time was a Creative Cloud Team subscription. They were also told this at NAB. I presume we will have a definitive answer by the time of the Adobe Max event, but for now, the waters are a bit cloudy.
