Hi

Looked in curiosity what price for upgrade to PRE2018 would be.

Site tell $70 - but looking at exchange rate to SEK 795 - this is horrible?

This is plus VAT 25% after that.

Exhange rate is 8.45 SEK each US$ now, a week ago it was below 8.00 SEK.

What you get in store is paying 11.35 SEK each US$.

Even looking upgrade license 652 SEK this is 10% above exhange rate.

Seems to me the 30% off does not come into Adobe Store???

Is there a way to see charge in US$ in store - and actually charge in US$ and let my bank FOREX exchange that on my Visa?

Looks like 25% VAT is added twice or something.

Take full license 795 kr + VAT 198.75=993.75

Thanks.

    You can only buy Adobe product in your country of residence.

    You cannot pay in dollars, has to be Krona.

    Try Amazon UK they often have sales.

    Thanks all.

    Chat support told me this is for US, Canada and Mexico only - then site shouls say so I think.

    You are logged in with your Adobe ID which is worldwide, and go to worldwide Adobe store - and not all get the same discounts for a download product from the same worldwide Adobe servers?

    Kind of insulting even.

    Unfortunately not, if you want to buy you need to set the site to your own region.

    (at the bottom of the page: change region).

    Everybody outside the usa suffers the same that is not just Elements goes for Cloud apps too, It all has to do with taxes.

    Check out Amazon they usually have better deals then Adobe does.

    This is a user to user forum and stays focused on using Premiere Elements.  None of the usual participants have anything to do with Adobe marketing or strategy.

    My personal experience is that once or twice a year Premiere Elements will go on a promotional sale at one of the online retailers for less than the "upgrade" price offered by Adobe.
