Do I need a the Creative Cloud subscription of $10/month to use this?

The quick answer is no, you do not need the subscription. LightRoom can be a stand alone software that doesn't require the subscription. The $10 subscription is called the photographers bundle and includes Photoshop as well as Lightroom for those that want to do more with their images than LR can like making composites. The subscription also allows for the periodoc updates that occur with software to continually keep everything up to date. It's a good deal if you want PS as well as LR but don't need or want the other programs that are in the creative suite. The creative suite is the only other way to get PS now(it's no longer sold as a stand alone option) and is $50/month or more. With all that info, Adobe has a version of LR that is available for tablets(iPads right now) but that does need to be associated with the subscription.

There is no subscription fee. The use of the term 'cloud' is because you can have remote access to your data files stored on the physical device at your residence. Also, as the device sits on you local network, you can set up your mobile devices (if they can attach to the same network via wifi), to upload files like pictures automatically.

Old version of it. They won't be updating it. Nor will users be able to buy from adobe. Just rent the CC (Creative Cloud but I call it cash cow).

The software is not included. The amazon pricing is just for the hardware. Our POSimplicity software is required to make the hardware function correctly. The software starts at $39 / month. There is no contract but after the software is purchased you will be charged monthly until you cancel the subscription.

No. You can only upgrade from CS5 to CS6. Your best bet is the Creative Cloud Photography Plan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNDCCE6/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk (monthly) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O66FYRS/ (Yearly pre-paid) The old pricing model was $699 (Photoshop CS6) /$999 (Photoshop CS6 Extended). But consider this: at that price a customer can have the Creative Cloud Photography Plan @ $9.99/mo for close to 6/8.5 years respectively. The Creative Cloud Photography plan includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom & Lightroom mobile. Plus you get all the product updates/upgrades (e.g. Photoshop 2014, 2015, 2016, etc & Lightroom 6, LR7, LR8, LR9, etc) for OS compatibility and support during that time. With the old model, you'd have to pay extra for upgrades in that same time period. One of the reasons for moving to this model is to make sure customers can keep up with the fast changing technology landscape where Apple and Microsoft are updating OSes every 12 months and introducing new hardware and devices at a faster and faster rate. Hope that helps, Jeffrey Tranberry Digital Imaging Product Development Adobe Systems, Senior Product Manager, Chief Customer Advocate

No, the 3 month subscription is just to the online stuff. You have your software on your computer forever and you do not have to continue the online subscription.

The only charge is an annual subscription for the service. Everything else is free. Works really good so far I must say.

I had to add a dataplan for it to my account (cost about $50). I paid month-by-month so I was able to cancel it as soon as I was done, but can add it back if I ever need to.

The only paid subscription is if you want to use their NeatCloud service (optional). Otherwise, no fees.

No monthly fee. You need a controller unit as a base, then you add as many accessory devices you want.

This is a subscription license for the entire Adobe Creative suite that is paid/renewed monthly. You may install any of the software on two machines, PC and/or Mac and use the software simultaneously (e.g. Photoshop open on two machines at the same time). You may transfer licenses by revoking the license from another machine through the utility if you need to transfer the license to another (3rd) computer.

No, and that is a big negative with this product. You have to sign up to pay dropcam for their cloud based storage service ($30/month).

Go to their website and download the upgrade. It will tell you there if there is a charge. Seems to me I remember there is a fee based update structure.

No. No subscription is required, but the Android and Apple Apps are not free. The Android app is $19.99. There is an optional subscription based service that apparently simplifies setting the apps up to communicate with the device from outside your LAN. It is not required if you know how to configure your router to handle port forwarding.

If you're looking to use it with the official Nexia system, it does require a subscription. With Vera or HomeSeer, it does not.

Yes, however it's not a contract agreement. Basically you pay for it when you want to use it, by the month. It's $60 a month.

There is no monthly charge however, if you want to keep track of Vacation and Holidays, it requires an "Upgrade" to do that which cost me, I think, about $179.00. No charges after that.
