Subscribing to Adobe CS but not immediately using

[elkins1995]

Maybe a weird question, But I'll explain. First, the question: Is it possible to subscribe now to Adobe Creative Cloud even if I do not (yet) have a computer that can handle it?

Explanation: I was a Print Production Artist 7+ years ago but pivoted into a completely different career after a layoff. At the time (7+ years ago) I had a mid 2012 MacBook Pro that could still handle the load of Adobe apps. In those 7 years my Mac is no longer supported by Apple and I'm about 3 or 4 OS's behind the curve. I'm looking to get back into Production Art work but need to update my knowledge of the Adobe apps. I plan to acquire a much, much new MacBook Pro soon but I want to take advantage of the current Black Friday special going on in anticipation of getting the new MacBook. 

Is this possible if I currently do not have a laptop that can handle the load?

My apologies. New here. Wasn't sure which category this belonged. Thank you.

yes, you can start the subscription now, and not install/use the apps until later.

Thank you. I appreciate the clarification. 🙂

you're welcome.

and it might be worth your while reading the deal's fine print to see if you can buy it now and apply it later.
