Good bye Creative Cloud

Another metered usage here, yes it's a drag. Like @cbay, I wouldn't trade this environment either. Keep us posted on how all aspects with adobe pan out.

Well for the last couple hours it wasn't working out well at all. The serial number for the product as stated on the receipt and on the disc cover was only 18 digits, not 24. I tried all sorts of stuff including contacting adobe. After an hour on hold i gave up on that. Finally out of disgust i thought i would rip the box apart to see if there was some sort of tag with a proper serial number.......I tore out the inner box and there it was on the outside of the box within a box. Holy cow.
Also you have to create a new adobe account in order to keep adobe from being confused about your cc subscription in order to enter the serial number. It's installing now, we'll see.
I'm not sure, but i think the license agreement allowed me to keep the deed to my home.

Thought i would mention to you that exede is pretty good for what it is. It's worth checking out. We had wildblue for years and going from that to exede was huge.

Looked up Exede "Affordable, high speed broadband satellite internet anywhere in the U.S." [FONT=arial, sans-serif]I'm only about eight hours from the USA - heading south (Alaska is even further away heading north). [/FONT]

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]I have what looks like a satellite dish on my roof (like the ones you get TV reception on) but it is actually aimed a a tower that is sending a radio signal and not a a satellite. People tend to speak of them as satellite internet hook up but it is radio signal based. But weather is a factor. Snow or even a heavy fog will cut it off - a good rain will slow it down a lot. I think when they say they are my "ISP" they mean my "internet sometimes provider" Truthfully we get internet most of the time. And when it is snowing I need my rest anyway so i'm good to go shovel when it stops.

Just a thought, one I would not have had but someone hit me in the head with it. In the States there is Verizon lte something or another that uses cell towers. They mount an antenna at your home and setup with a wireless router. It is totally satisfactory in the speed department but cost $67 for 10gb and $97 for 20gb. Never lost service in 3 years despite severe weather.

My fee is $69 for an advertised rate of 6 MBPS - but I was just looking up their specs and noticed they are now offering 8mbps for only $79. But I think they need to install a new dish - at a cost of $399 - less if you sign long term contract. Advertised downloads are like the gas mileage car dealers advertise - true only if you are going only downhill, with the wind at your back. I check periodically and have never hit six - got a few five point somethings and felt I was getting close - but mostly fours, somedays three.

I think I'll go make a cup of coffee now while I wait for this post to upload. (just kidding... these posts only take a few minutes to go)

Hmmmmm..... Looks like their legal team isn't performing up to par!.....

I'm curious. If you're using that much data just by launching Lightroom CC, does your library automatically sync all your collections to the cloud? That's the only thing I can come to figure is using that much bandwidth unless you're reinstalling Lightroom onto the same computer weekly.

Not saying you aren't hitting the bandwidth caps and that Lightroom CC isn't the cause, just real curious to get to the bottom of exactly what causes that.

Even living just 10 minutes outside of downtown Dallas, I can't get any service greater than 18Mb from the local providers. At least I'm not metered though.

Actually I have similar to this. Dish on the roof aimed to a tower on the mountain for radio relay. My speeds are "Up to" 1.5 Mps DL and "Up to" 512 Kps UL. These are Max and usually are slower. No data limits though. $50/month. I can get a little faster for more $$$, but hey, I don't need to pollute the area with more smoke and it is not worth the extra money. Ha!

I had sync turned off. In fairness, it's more of a cumulative factor - as i come close to my limit every month. It was pushing me to the limit though. I could add it all up looking at my task manager and maybe i'll do it later. Even though i uninstalled cc yesterday and installed my stand alone, they still reinstalled cc!!! And they give you no way to access from any other way than through cc. So,,,, after much trial and error i was able to find the executable file for the stand alone myself on my c drive and make a shortcut to my desktop and pin to start. They are some sneaky little buggers. Even so, if i'm on the net or even have my network connected they will still connect via "adobe ipc broker".
I guess in such a connected world with so much speed it's of no issue for most people and these companies know and take advantage of that - as well as provide all these connected features.
I heard there was dsl service at the nearest highway from our home which is just a few miles but being on the outskirts of Dallas probably has more willing subscribers. Our little subdivision goes unnoticed.
