How much Bandwidth Does it use?

May 16, 2012 5:33 PM

My ISP charges me if I go over 5 GB a month I'm sure other people have the same issue

this is my concern about cloud computing and I know Windows 8 will be cloud-based

is there communication going on all the time between your desktop and the cloud when you're using Adobe's cloud-based apps?

 

I don't want to pay Adobe for a subscription and have to limit my bandwidth so I don't have to pay my ISP more money if I go over, see the vicious circle am talking about.

    No.

     

    The Cloud apps phone home once a month to check your subscription is up to date. That's all. The rest of the time they function just like the normal, perpetually licensed, boxed software.

     

    Other than that the only data transfer is when you upload or download files to or from the Cloud.

    Thank you John. This is correct. The licensing check for the desktop applications just happens once a month.

     

    From the Adobe Creative Cloud FAQ here: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html

     

    Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Suite applications?

    Because your Creative Suite applications are installed directly on your computer, you will not need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis. However, you will need to be online when you install and license your software, and at least once every 30 days thereafter. The software will alert you when you need to connect to the Internet for a license status check.
