Adobe will stop boxed sales of its Creative Suite software, making its packages for creative pros available online or by subscription only, reports “TechHive” (http://tinyurl.com/a8vp32o).
“As Adobe continues to focus on delivering world-class innovation through Creative Cloud and digital fulfillment, we will be phasing out shrink-wrapped, boxed versions of Creative Suite and Acrobat products,” an Adobe spokesperson told the publication in an email. The company continued, “Electronic downloads for Creative Suite and Acrobat products will continue to be available — as they are today — from both Adobe.com, as well as reseller and retail partners. We are in the process of notifying our channel partners and customers, as plans solidify in each region.”
