Photoshop without subscription - If you want to use Photoshop CC and Lightroom as a photo package from Adobe as a full version, but without a subscription with monthly costs, you can buy a kind of prepaid license key from Amazon. The activation code or Redeem code from Adobe gives you access to all professional components of the photo and image processing programs Photoshop CC and Lightroom. Usually the key costs around 140 euros; According to user reviews, it can sometimes only be 110 euros thanks to promotions and discounts.
Buy Photoshop without a subscription - with Lightroom and more
The "CC" in Photoshop CC stands for Creative Cloud, however, you do not have to be permanently online to use the code and the two programs. Of course, you need an internet connection to buy the Serial Key, and you will also need to visit Adobe's website to activate your one-year usage. After that, it should be enough to go online about every three months - for updates and the comparison of subscription data, etc. So you can use Photoshop CC and Lightroom without a subscription simply by prepaid.
Complete Adobe Creative Cloud for MAC or PC
Sometimes you can also find the entire Creative Cloud package on Amazon. Sometimes the package was already available for around 450 euros (with a discount of 30%), which is of course much cheaper than buying the monthly subscription from Amazon for 69,99 euros (12 x 69,99 euros = 839,88 euros ) concludes. For this reason, the annual licenses that you can get here at Amazon are usually much cheaper. The overall package then also includes software such as Premiere, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Illustrator and a lot more.
Alternative for a one-time fee of 55 or 22 euros
If you already use Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom, then the annual package from Adobe might be a good alternative to the monthly subscription price. Especially since you can be sure that after a year you will not accidentally have to pay more because you did not give notice in time. However, there are also alternative programs that are just as extensive as Photoshop and Lightroom and come at a one-time price of well under 100 euros. I mean of course Affinity Photo for Mac and PC as well as Affinity Photo for iPad the software company Serif.
How do you feel - rather use the well-known image editing programs with a subscription, use the prepaid service or buy the Photoshop alternative from Serif? Feel free to leave a comment on the topic;)

Hi John,
When was the complete Creative Cloud package available on Amazon? I have never seen it before. How do you find out that the complete package is available as an offer?
Thank you for your reponse.
Regards
TT
I answer because I made the addition in the article. I read the info in a forum where two people wrote about these offers. It's not always 30% (that was probably the best snapper), but 20% would be more likely. And that every now and then within a year. Personally, I have the subscription that I got for 49 EUR / month instead of 69 EUR / month at some point. I think that was because I was able to present the serial number of my CS5 ... there was a discount for those who switched. ;-) VG! Jens
The heading suggests that it is not possible to take out a subscription and buy something, but if I understand it correctly, it is not possible at all! The only difference I can see is the method of payment, so ultimately only a subscription with annual payment. Regardless, it feels like a dangerous development that everyone is relying on the subscription train. Adobe, Spotify, learning apps etc ... .. and if you get worse financially you have to quit and you are left empty-handed.
Thanks for the alternatives, I'll take a look at them.
Hello Micah! Yes, you have to be clear about that: Since "CC" there hasn't been a Photoshop version that you pay once and can use forever. If you are looking for that, you should look for Adobe Photoshop CS5 or CS6. Of course, Adobe is reluctant to communicate this because they want to sell their Creative Cloud subscriptions.
But this article informs about the possibility to buy the Photoshop version without a subscription (i.e. without automatic renewal of the payment). And of course that can only be used for one year. I hope that makes it clear what is meant. As an alternative, you might also call Pixelmator Pro. The new "Pro" version is aimed explicitly at professionals and has the corresponding functions. LG!
