Upgrading from Adobe's Photography plan to Adobe Creative Cloud's plan

I’m considering upgrading from my Adobe Photography plan to Adobe Creative Cloud while it’s on sale. What I need to know is whether or not I can sign up for two weeks on a trial basis for the 34.99/mo. without owing a year’s worth of payments if I cancel within two weeks? I don’t know that I will be able to get the value out of it. I’m mainly interested in the photography plan along with the adobe illustrator plan but think it will be less costly if I get Adobe Creative Cloud which includes both. Otherwise it will be 22.99 for each and it’s 34.99/mo right now. I just don’t know if it automatically signs me up for a year right away and I just need a trial of it right now to see if I would be able to use it. Thank you

The terms look pretty clear here to me, if we’re seeing the same deal:

The discount is for the first three months of the annual plan, paid monthly. After the first three months the price reverts to normal. Annual plans incur a cancellation fee unless you cancel before 11 Nov (trial period). Only the monthly plan (at the top) is ‘pay-as-you-go’ with no cancellation fee.

Just to add to ​@Doug A Roberts answer, I'd be particularly careful about the distinction between an annual plan billed monthly and a genuine month-to-month subscription.

The $34.99 promotion is currently advertised for new subscribers, with the price increasing to $69.99 after the first three months.

Since you already have a Photography plan, I'd recommend confirming with Adobe whether you're eligible for the promotion and exactly what cancellation terms would apply when switching your existing subscription.

Also, if Photography and Illustrator together would cost you $45.98 per month, Creative Cloud at its regular $69.99 monthly rate would actually be more expensive after the promotional period.

I'd check the full 12-month cost before committing, particularly if you're unsure how much you'll use Illustrator.
