I've been using CS since v1 but of late haven't been keeping it up as my business has changed. I now have need to upgrade just my InD from CS4 to CS6 in order to read someone else's files. I realize they could export them for me but it's a lot of files and I won't bore you with the long story why that isn't happening. It appears that I have NO option to simply upgrade InD to CS6 and that I MUST do a subscription. That said here are my questions:
- If I do the trial first will those files be useable or are they crippled in some way?
- It will be a lot now and then not again for many months. Can I pay by the month ($30) for just the months I need to use it? Or is there a start up cost each time or some penalty?
- Or is it smarter to pay a year ahead even with light usage (so $240/year)?
- Am I missing any options?
Thanks.
