Can I buy a stand alone version of Adobe Illustrator, or am I forced to pay the CC subscription fee?

I really want to buy a copy of Illustrator becuase I have seen it to be an incredibly useful tool for work I do, however I want to buy a copy and own it forever, and not pay a CC subscription? I'm a student with a very limited income and so paying the subscription (even with student discounts) is not the path I want to take. Is there a way for me to do this? (Same applies with Photoshop and Premiere)

Thanks

      Jamie,

      You can buy the CS6 versions, and whole suites at student discounts:

      You may calculate the sums of prices of individual products and compare with suites, keeping in mind that  you get a completely different price when still a student.

      This may make it worth really considering which applications you might wish to use in the future, or maybe rather which applications you are completely certain you will never wish to use (to the extent that is possible), as part of the comparison and decision.

      I think what you are asking is what I am trying to find out.. and no one has answered it.. Can we buy the program .. out right.. no monthly payments just one time buy and have it for the rest of eternity.. The whole monthly fee thing is whack.. leads to increases and then you are always incurring an expense. If I buy CAD I don't pay them a fee every month.. I think this is why you have so many illegal downloads of your software..

        There are several links in this thread to the CS6 versions of the software, which are still available for perpetual license purchase (pay once; use as long as your hardware will support the programs).

            Jamie,

            If you want all of Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, it is cheaper to buy them in the Production Premium Suite with a number of other applications.

            You may also consider the Master Collection Suite, which is somewhat more expensive but has more applications.

            Strangely enough, none of them have Acrobat Pro, as have the Design Standard and the Design and Web Premium which do not have Premiere Pro.

            There may be other strangenesses.

              this is what you can actually buy at this time

              https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_education_sl_creativesuite6.edu.html

              However if you look you might find it economicl to just go with the suite for 19.95 per month. $240 per year and get the whole suite. I do not believe there is a standalone student version of AI as it would be difficult to offer the application for less than 19.95 per month hiuch is what the standalone reail vrsion of Illustrator cost which is he sme price as thw whole cloud for student.

              You can buy stand-alone versions, but as soon as you buy two stand-alones, the complete one is cheaper.
