Comment on Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop (2019)parent

Comments

Is this about old perpetual licences or subscription?

If only there was a way to find out?

29 commenters and it would appear that none of them have read the article.

I think it assumes knowledge that the subscription is called "Creative Cloud". It is not immediately clear that older pre-subscription versions were not also "Creative Cloud". So, no, the article doesn't explicitly say it's about subscription versions becoming unavailable, even though that's what the article is about.

I believe the underlying issue (vaguely mentioned in the article) is that some older versions of some of the Creative Cloud projects had licensed sub-modules which have fallen out of licensing. So continued use of the subscription requires an "upgrade" which might remove needed functionality for some users.

Likewise you comment without actually saying whether it is or not.
