Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard customer FAQ
Why should I buy Creative Suite 5 instead of an individual product?
With Creative Suite 5, you get more for your money. Depending on the edition, it can cost up
to 60% less compared to purchasing the individual products separately. Because you’re likely to
need more than one software component during your creative process, buying an edition instead
of individual products is a smart and more affordable option. If you’re already using individual
Adobe products, you might be eligible for special pricing when upgrading to a Creative Suite 5
edition. For information on eligibility, visit www.adobe.com/go/upgradeinfo.

Why do I need all of the products in a Creative Suite edition?
With Creative Suite 5 editions for design, web, and video, Adobe has selected the products that
are most useful for those specific functions. The premium editions include a broader set of tools
to enable cross-media work. In most cases, you will find that you use each tool in some capacity
throughout the creative process. And even if you don’t use every component now, you have the
flexibility to use them later.
