For a limited time, students and teachers who have never signed up for Creative Cloud can get the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite for only $199.00 for the first year – which works out to rougly $16.58 per month, which is the same as getting two free months of service on top of the promotional rate of 60% off ($19.99/mo, $359.88/yr) – when the full one-year membership is paid up front.
This is a great deal as the normal Creative Cloud subscription for students and teachers is regularly $29.99 per month ($49.99/mo for regular customers).
Here are the fine print details from Adobe:
