    As of May 8th, CreativeLive shut down registration to their site. https://www.creativelive.com/company-update

    They claim it's an attempt to better serve their paying customers, but it really does appear that the writing is on the wall for them. If you've purchased anything through their site before May 8th, 2025, then your account on the site is active and you can access your old purchased content. They're pushing a new streamlined downloader (for Mac and Windows) that will allow you to batch download your content. I highly recommend you download your stuff ASAP! Who knows what's going to happen, but it seems clear that they're trying to encourage people to download their courses for other reasons other than out of the goodness of their hearts. Remember, Fiverr purchased CreativeLive not all that long ago and they ruin everything they touch, so I imagine you won't even be able to download or access your courses before long.

    Its still working. That message has been on since May. You can still login if you've bought anything before, and you can still buy classes and or monthly subscription for $29.
    But, i would err on the side of caution and take your advice to get everything you own downloaded as I too dont trust Fiverr. And also, the message they show and they dont let you see the free live shows anymore or even any of the catalogue of classes list unless you have been a paying member before - those are not good signs. Looks like they're so cheap as a company now that they're trying to save a few bucks a month in bandwidth fee's by doing that, and if they're doing that - bad sign as curiousdude suggested.
