OT - Cost of IDCS by Volume

[Arnold_German@adobeforums.com]

Our small company is planning to buy Intel Macs next year and we intend to buy licenses for InDesign 5 (English version) as soon as it's ready. For budget purposes, I was tasked to make a rough estimate of the cost of a license for 30 users. I've tried looking for answers to this query in the Adobe site but can't find any definitive answer. Maybe I just can't understand the terminology being used by their sales people. Since InDesign 5 is not yet in the market, let's suppose that I want to get a license for 30 users for InDesign 4 NOW. How much would that cost? Just a rough estimate.

Thank you.

That's enough to qualify for a site license. Call Adobe or an authorized
reseller and ask about it.

I think you'll end up somewhere a bit under the $1100 per license range. If you have any Photoshops you haven't upgraded, be sure and add those into the mix as they are cheaper. Similarly, any CS1's can be rolled into your site license too as upgrades BUT copies of CS2's you already own cannot be converted to site license copies (which is quite annoying!).

Eric,

Can you please clarify that figure you have mentioned. Note that a single InDesign 4 license costs US$699 while an ACS2 Premium costs US$1,199. You're not telling me that a site license is costlier than buying individual licenses, are you?

Oops, the price I gave you was for the CS2 Premium Suite. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the individual price for ID4 separate of the bundle is...

Sorry 'bout that, didn't read the question carefully enough!
