Adobe is offering big discounts on its Creative Cloud subscriptions, but offers end August 17

Adobe has launched a surprise sale just in time for the back-to-school season, and there are some big savings to be had now - if you're quick.
In the US and Canada, you can can get 40% off a year's subscription to Creative Cloud Pro, which now costs $42 a month (was $70).
The deal also extends to small business users, with Adobe discounting Creative Cloud Pro for Teams by 40% - right now, the cost has dropped from $100 a month per license down to the $60.
In the UK, there's a half-price discount for the first three months on both the Creative Cloud Pro plan, which goes from £67 a month down to £33 a month, and Photoshop subscription plan, now £10 a month.
As usual with Adobe offers, it only applies to new subscribers (sorry, existing users) - so check out all the Adobe discounts and deals below.

Save 50% for the first three months The Creative Cloud Pro subscription is packed with all of Adobe's top apps, like Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign, and more.

Why I think this is a great deal
There's no denying that Adobe has set the industry-standard when it comes to creative software. There aren't many software houses whose products become everyday verbs the way Photoshop has.
Having extensively tested out pretty much the full suite of apps on offer, I know they rank as some of the best photo editors, best video editing software, and best PDF editors around. If you want pro-grade tools for design and content creation, there's not much that can beat Adobe's line-up.
However, recently, the company raised the price of its Creative Cloud Pro plan (formerly known as Creative Cloud All Apps) - which went down like a lead balloon with users. So, I welcome this current discount for students, teams, and individual users, particularly as minds are turning to back to school thoughts.
