Each edition consisted of several Adobe applications, e.g., Photoshop, Acrobat, Premiere Pro or After Effects, InDesign, and Illustrator that are the industry standard applications for many graphic design positions. The last of the Creative Suite versions, Adobe Creative Suite 6 ( CS6 ), was launched at a release event on April 23, 2012, and released on May 7, 2012. CS6 was the last of the Adobe design tools to be physically shipped as boxed software as the model for future releases and updates would be delivered via download only. On May 6, 2013 Adobe announced that CS6 would be the last version of the Creative Suite, and that future versions of their creative software would only be available via their Adobe Creative Cloud subscription model. Adobe also announced that it would continue to support CS6 and would provide bug fixes and security updates through the next major upgrades of both Mac and Windows operating systems ( as of 2013 ). The Creative Suite packages were pulled from Adobe 's online store in 2013, but were still available on their website until January 2017.

History Creative Suite 1 and 2 The Adobe Creative Suite 2 logo The first version of Adobe Creative Suite was released in September 2003 and Creative Suite 2 in April 2005. The first two versions ( CS and CS2 ) were available in two editions. The Standard Edition included : Adobe Bridge ( Since CS2 ) Adobe Illustrator Adobe InDesign Adobe Photoshop Adobe ImageReady Adobe Version Cue Design guide and training resources Adobe Stock Photos The Premium Edition also included : Adobe Acrobat Professional ( Version 8 in CS2. 3 ) Adobe Dreamweaver ( Since CS2. 3 ) Adobe GoLive Creative Suite likely helped InDesign become the dominant publishing software, replacing QuarkXPress, because customers that purchased the suite for Photoshop and Illustrator received InDesign for free. Due to Adobe 's closing of the CS2 activation servers on December 15, 2012, Adobe offered existing CS2 users the opportunity to download a version of CS2 that no longer required Adobe server authorization in January 2013. This release was intended to allow existing users of CS2 to reinstall their licensed copies without needing authorization from the now - closed servers. Adobe published serial numbers on the January 8, 2013, but it was not until the January 24, 2013, that Adobe announced that download was intended only for people who had `` legitimately purchased CS2 ''. Many users ignored this announcement, or were not aware of it, and continued treating CS2 as either freeware or abandonware. Creative Suite Production Studio Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio ( previously Adobe Video Collection ) was a suite of programs for acquiring, editing, and distributing digital video and audio that was released during the same timeframe as Adobe Creative Suite 2. The suite was available in standard and premium editions. The Adobe Production Studio Premium edition consisted of : Adobe After Effects Professional Adobe Audition Adobe Bridge Adobe Encore DVD Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Adobe Dynamic Link ( Not sold separately ) The Standard edition consisted of : Adobe After Effects Standard Adobe Bridge Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe Photoshop Since CS3, Adobe Production Studio became part of the Creative Suite family. The equivalent version for Production Studio Premium is the Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium. Macromedia Studio Macromedia Studio was a suite of programs designed for web content creation designed and distributed by Macromedia. After Adobe 's 2005 acquisition of Macromedia, Macromedia Studio 8 was replaced, modified, and integrated into two editions of the Adobe Creative Suite family of software from version 2.3 onwards. The closest relatives of Macromedia Studio 8 are now called Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium. Core applications from Macromedia Studio have been merged with Adobe Creative Suite since CS3, including Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks. Some Macromedia applications were absorbed into existing Adobe products, e.g. FreeHand has been replaced with Adobe Illustrator.

The final version of Macromedia Studio released include : Macromedia Studio MX Released May 29, 2002, internally it was version 6 and the first incarnation of the studio to use the `` MX '' suffix, which for marketing purposes was a shorthand abbreviation that meant `` Maximize ''.

MX Plus was a special edition release of MX that included Freehand MX ( replacing Freehand 10 ), Contribute and DevNet Resource Kit Special Edition in addition to the existing MX suite of products. Macromedia Studio MX 2004 Released September 10, 2003, despite its name, it is internally version 7. Studio MX 2004 included FreeHand along with updated versions of Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks. An alternate version of Studio MX 2004 included Flash Professional and a new interface for Dreamweaver. Macromedia Studio 8 Released September 13, 2005, Studio 8 was the last version of Macromedia Studio.

Some Creative Suite programs also began using the Presto layout engine used in the Opera web browser. Adobe began selling CS3 applications in six different combinations called `` editions. '' Design Standard & Premium and Web Standard & Premium began shipping on April 16, 2007, and Production Premium and Master Collection editions began shipping on July 2, 2007. The latest released CS3 version was version 3.3, released on June 2, 2008. In this version Fireworks CS3 was included in Design Premium and all editions that had included Acrobat 8 Pro had it replaced with Acrobat 9 Pro. Below is a matrix of the applications included in each edition of CS3 version 3.3 : show Adobe Creative Suite 3 Software Design Web Production Premium Master Collection Standard Premium Standard Premium Photoshop CS3 Photoshop CS3 Extended Illustrator CS3 InDesign CS3 Acrobat 8 Pro Flash CS3 Professional Dreamweaver CS3 Fireworks CS3 ( in v3. 3 ) Contribute CS3 Soundbooth CS3 After Effects CS3 Professional Premiere Pro CS3 Encore CS3 Shared applications OnLocation CS3 ( Windows only ) Ultra CS3 ( Windows only ) Bridge CS3 Device Central CS3 Stock Photos Version Cue CS3 CS3 included several programs, including Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks that were developed by Macromedia, a former rival acquired by Adobe in 2005. It also included Adobe OnLocation and Adobe Ultra that were developed by Serious Magic, also a firm acquired by Adobe in 2006. Adobe dropped the following programs ( that were previously included in CS2 ) from the CS3 software bundles : Adobe GoLive ( replaced by Adobe Dreamweaver ) Adobe ImageReady ( merged into Adobe Photoshop and replaced by Adobe Fireworks ) Adobe Soundbooth ( replaced by Adobe Audition ) Adobe had announced that it would continue to develop Audition as a standalone product, while GoLive had been discontinued. Adobe GoLive 9 was released as a standalone product on June 10, 2007. Adobe Audition 3 was announced as a standalone product on September 6, 2007. Adobe had discontinued ImageReady and had replaced it with Fireworks, with some of ImageReady 's features integrated into Photoshop. Creative Suite 4 Adobe Creative Suite 4 logo Adobe Creative Suite 4 ( CS4 ) was announced on September 23, 2008 and officially released on October 15, 2008. All applications in CS4 featured the same user interface, with a new tabbed interface for working with concurrently running Adobe CS4 programs where multiple documents can be opened inside multiple tabs contained in a single window. Adobe CS4 was also developed to perform better under 64 - bit and multi-core processors. On MS Windows, Adobe Photoshop CS4 ran natively as a 64 - bit application. Although they were not natively 64 - bit applications, Adobe After Effects CS4 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 had been optimized for 64 - bit computers. However, there were no 64 - bit versions of CS4 available for Mac OS X. In early testing of 64 - bit support in Adobe Photoshop CS4, overall performance gains ranged from 8 % to 12 %, due to the fact that 64 - bit applications could address larger amounts of memory and thus resulted in less file swapping -- one of the biggest factors that can affect data processing speed. Two programs were dropped from the CS4 line - up : Adobe Ultra, a vector keying application which utilizes image analysis technology to produce high quality chroma key effects in less than ideal lighting environments and provides keying of a subject into a virtual 3D environment through virtual set technology, and Adobe Stock Photos. Below is a matrix of the applications that were bundled in each of the software suites for CS4 : show Adobe Creative Suite 4 Software Design Web Production Premium Master Collection Standard Premium Standard Premium Photoshop CS4 Photoshop CS4 Extended Illustrator CS4 InDesign CS4 Acrobat 9 Pro Flash CS4 Professional Dreamweaver CS4 Fireworks CS4 Contribute CS4 Soundbooth CS4 After Effects CS4 Premiere Pro CS4 OnLocation CS4 Encore CS4 Shared features, services, and applications Bridge CS4 Device Central CS4 Version Cue CS4 Dynamic Link Creative Suite 5 The Adobe Creative Suite 5 Logo Adobe Creative Suite 5 ( CS5 ) was released on April 30, 2010. From CS5 onwards, Windows versions of Adobe Premiere CS5 and Adobe After Effects CS5 were 64 - bit only and required at least Windows Vista 64 - bit or a later 64 - bit Windows version. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition was no longer supported. Adobe Version Cue, an application that enabled users to track and manipulate file metadata and automate the process of collaboratively reviewing documents among groups of people, and the Adobe Creative Suite Web Standard edition, previously available in CS4, were dropped from the CS5 line - up. Below is a matrix of the applications that were bundled in each of the software suites for CS5 : show Adobe Creative Suite 5 Software Design Web Premium Production Premium Master Collection Standard Premium Photoshop CS5 Photoshop CS5 Extended Illustrator CS5 InDesign CS5 Acrobat 9.3 Pro Flash Catalyst CS5 Flash Professional CS5 Flash Builder 4 Standard Dreamweaver CS5 Fireworks CS5 Contribute CS5 Premiere Pro CS5 OnLocation CS5 Encore CS5 After Effects CS5 Soundbooth CS5 Shared features, services, and applications Bridge CS5 Device Central CS5 CS Live Dynamic Link Creative Suite 5.5 Following the release of CS5 in April 2010, Adobe changed its release strategy to an every other year release of major number installments. CS5. 5 was presented on April 12, 2011, as an in - between program until CS6. The update helped developers optimize websites for a variety of tablets, smart phones, and other devices. At the same time, Adobe announced a subscription - based pay service as an alternative to full purchase. On July 1, 2011, Adobe Systems announced its Switcher Program, which will allow people who had purchased any version of Apple 's Final Cut Pro ( or Avid Media Composer ) to receive a 50 percent discount on Creative Suite CS5. 5 Production Premium or Premiere Pro CS5. 5. Not all products were upgraded to CS5. 5 in this release ; applications that were upgraded to CS5. 5 included Adobe InDesign, Adobe Flash Catalyst, Adobe Flash Professional, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Device Central. Adobe Audition also replaced Adobe Soundbooth in CS5. 5, Adobe Story was first offered as an AIR - powered screenwriting and preproduction application, and Adobe Acrobat X Pro replaced Acrobat 9.3 Pro.

'' On March 21, 2012, Adobe released a freely available beta version of Adobe Photoshop CS6. The final version of Adobe CS6 was launched on a release event April 23, 2012, and first shipped May 7. Adobe also launched a subscription - based offering named Adobe Creative Cloud where users are able to gain access to individual applications or the full Adobe Creative Suite 6 suite on a per - month basis, plus additional cloud storage spaces and services. show Adobe Creative Suite 6 Software Design Standard Design & Web Premium Production Premium Master Collection Photoshop CS6 Photoshop CS6 Extended Illustrator CS6 InDesign CS6 Acrobat X Pro Flash Professional CS6 Flash Builder 4.6 Premium Edition Dreamweaver CS6 Fireworks CS6 Premiere Pro CS6 OnLocation CS6 Encore CS6 After Effects CS6 Audition CS6 SpeedGrade CS6 Prelude CS6 Shared features, services, and applications Bridge CS6 Media Encoder CS6 Dynamic Link Extension Manager CS6 Extension Toolkit CS6 Story Plus CS6 Discontinuation Main article : Adobe Creative Cloud On May 5, 2013, during the opening keynote of its Adobe MAX conference, Adobe announced that it was retiring the `` Creative Suite '' branding in favor of `` Creative Cloud '', and making all future feature updates to its software ( now appended with `` CC '' instead of `` CS '', e.g. Photoshop CC ) available via the Creative Cloud subscription service rather than through the purchasing of perpetual licenses. Customers must pay a subscription fee and if they stop paying, they will lose access to the proprietary file formats, which are not backward - compatible with the Creative Suite ( Adobe admitted that this is a valid concern ). Individual subscribers must have an Internet connection to download the software and to use the 2 GB of provided storage space ( or the additionally purchased 20 GB ), and must validate the license monthly. Adobe 's decision to make the subscription service the only sales route for its creative software was met with strong criticism ( see Creative Cloud controversy ). Several online articles began offering replacements of Photoshop, Illustrator, and other programs, with free software such as GIMP and Inkscape or competing products such as CorelDRAW, PaintShop Pro, and Pixelmator directly offering alternatives. In addition to many of the products formerly part of the Creative Suite ( one product, Fireworks, was announced as having reached the end of its development cycle ), Creative Cloud also offers subscription - exclusive products such as Adobe Muse and the Adobe Edge family, Web - based file and website hosting, Typekit fonts, and access to the Behance social media platform. The new CC versions of their applications, and the full launch of the updated Creative Cloud service, was announced for June 17, 2013. New versions with major feature updates have been released regularly, with a refresh of the file formats occurring in October 2014. Adobe also announced that it would continue to offer bug fixes for the CS6 products so that they will continue to run on the next versions of Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X.
