As someone who uses more than 4 devices, it's a problem for me. Most people are not going to use CSP across so many computers or tablets so it's not really a major issue. There is an unknown limit to the number of CSP deactivations and once you reach the limit you will be locked out of all CSP apps. To use CSP on the 5th device, you have to deactivate a license from an earlier device, and transfer the license to the new one. With CSP, you can only install and use the app on four devices. Sign in more than two times on two separate computers and you'll be prompted to sign out from an earlier session. With Adobe Creative Cloud, you can install the Adobe apps on all your computers. There's a huge difference between how CSP and Adobe handles logins. This is unlike Adobe subscription where it's tied to 2 logins. The one thing I dislike about CSP is the subscription is tied to device and not to the number of logins. I also have 3 perpetual licenses on 3 computers.

I actually paid for the 4-device subscription which is USD 53.99/year.

If you're a digital artist and CSP is the main app you use to create art, I would say it's still really worth the money. Those who purchased the monthly subscription plan will get all the updates and latest features.Īctually their current subscription plan for a single device of USD 24.99/year is still quite reasonable since it's just $2.09/month. With an active Update Pass, you can update CSP to the latest version including the planned v3.1. To update CSP v2, you have to purchase an annual Update Pass. You can continue to use CSP v1.x for as long as your computer can run the software.ĬSP v2 will still be sold as a one-time purchase perpetual license and will come with stability updates but will not have update access to v2.1. Unfortunately for us, CSP is moving towards the subscription model for all license types.įor those still using CSP v1.x, there will still be updates until CSP v2 is released.

I've got to say that USD 49.99 for Clip Studio Paint Pro is a fantastic deal for digital artists. Clip Studio Paint is moving away from the business model of providing one-time purchase perpetual license.
