Until today, there are still many people using the CS version, compared to the CC version, CS6 does not have too high requirements for the computer configuration, and the use of functions will not have much impact, and beginners with low computer configuration can use the CS version.

In 2013, Adobe upgraded the previous CS version of the packaged service and launched the Creative Cloud service, which was “cloudified” and officially entered The era of “cloud services”. Creative Cloud can directly install and upgrade Adobe’s various products online, users can not only store and publish files in the cloud, but also synchronize settings between multiple devices, and change the previous one-time purchase form to a monthly or annual online service subscription model. This subscription service is not yet available in China.

The CC version decision is another major commercial move by Adobe, CC (Creative Cloud) can not only collect user data, but also use Adobe’s creative services online, which is of real significance Through CC, Adobe can also accurately deliver services to users, and based on these data and services, Adobe can also conduct big data analysis to make decisions for business development and strategy.

However, this kind of move violates the privacy of users to a certain extent, and if Adobe leaks this data, it will be a loss for both users and businesses. You know, Adobe has a big history in terms of cybersecurity.
