Company will sell Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign downloads.
Adobe Systems is overhauling the way it sells its most popular software to spur more frequent purchases by distributing programs over the internet.
Chief technology officer Kevin Lynch plans to release what Adobe calls its Creative Cloud software package early next year. The company will let customers rent programs on a monthly basis and share their work across PCs and mobile devices, rather than make larger purchases, such as Photoshop CS5 that can cost more than $1,400 in Australia.
