Adobe announces Creative Suite 5.5, monthly software subscriptions | Technology | Los Angeles Times

Adobe Systems announced an update to its Adobe Creative Suite 5 software, which for the first time will be available by way of monthly subscriptions.

Creative Suite 5.5, as the new refresh is called, features new tools
that will enable users to more easily create content for smartphones and
tablets and do more using HTML5.

The rollout of Creative Suite 5.5, which will take place in about a
month, will be Adobe's first shot at a new software release schedule,
with more incremental updates between fully new versions of its main
product package.
