Adobe's chief product officer, Scott Belsky, on the company's slashing their education prices
Scott Belsky comments on his company drastically reducing the price of its software for K-12 students.
❝ Adobe will offer K-12 schools its full suite of Creative Cloud software for $5 per student per year, starting May 15, it said Thursday. That's a radical discount compared with the regular $600 annual price for the software, or the earlier education pricing of $240 per year for an individual student -- a price that jumped to $360 after the first year.
Creative Cloud titles also include Lightroom for photography, Illustrator for vector graphics, Audition for audio editing, Dreamweaver and Muse for website creation, XD for design, and more than a dozen other programs. Kids can use on home computers when they sign in, Adobe said.
"This makes it accessible to everyone," said Scott Belsky, Adobe's chief product officer and leader of the Creative Cloud products. [CNET.com]
