Hey!
I use some Adobe apps more than others, so naturally things like Photoshop, Illustrator etc are all regularly updated - but the ones I use less frequently are just old versions that I use once in a blue moon.
On Friday, I noticed an email from Adobe that essentially read:
'We have recently discontinued certain older versions of Creative Cloud applications and as a result, under the terms of our agreement, you are no longer licensed to use them. Our records show that you may be using the following version(s) of these applications.'
<It went on to list apps that I downloaded ages ago, use sporadically but still need>
'Please be aware that should you continue to use the discontinued version(s), you may be at risk of potential claims of infringement by third parties.'
I understand what they're saying, - but it seems like a clumsy move for Adobe to go to a monthly subscription model (which was contentious to begin with) then allow older versions to become legally illegitimate?
I know the upgrades are 'free' and that the solution is simple, I now need to download a bunch of brand new versions of extra apps that I hardly ever use.
Just got under my skin a bit, what are your thoughts?
