ey everyone, I’m in a bit of a situation and hoping someone here might have a tip:

In about three months, I have some part-time exams coming up heavily focused on design work. That means I really need access to Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign to properly prepare.

The issue: My school doesn’t provide licenses, and there’s no way for me to get one through them. So the only option left is to pay full price which is currently almost $100/month in my country. As a student, that’s simply unaffordable for me.

Adobe is currently offering a 50% discount for 1 Year , but here’s the catch: if you don’t cancel within 14 days, you’re locked into a full- year subscription at the regular price. Honestly, it feels like a trap. The only plan that can be canceled monthly is the full-price one. Even the student plans are locked into an annual commitment just slightly cheaper. I really don’t need a year-long subscription, just something short-term for exam prep.

To be honest, I think Adobe’s pricing model is extremely unfriendly to students and learners. The website seems intentionally designed to nudge you into accidentally signing up for a yearly plan – it feels shady.
