Can I purchase Creative Cloud now but delay installing it until I get my new iMac?

I want to take advantage of the current offer on the Creative Cloud Suite but my iMac does not have the necessary system requirements.

I intend to buy a new iMac next week (by which time the CC offer will have expired).

So am I able to purchase a plan now but delay installation of it until I have my new Mac?

Thanks

Correct answer kglad

they're independent.

your payment is based on the date of your subscription.  when you install, what computer you install on and how many computers you install your programs on isn't related to your subscription date.

ie, you're payment is due and subscription is active when you subscribe even if you never install and use the programs.

no, your subscription starts when you make your purchase.

I don’t have a problem with my subscription starting as soon as I purchase. Just wanted to know if I could wait to install CC after I purchase it. Is the purchase/subscription starting and the installation one and the same process? Or are they independent?

Thanks

You can install (or not) anytime you want - but delaying the install does not get you any extra credit for the subscription.
