The bigger scam is Adobe trying to get people to rent its software...

Why do you have a password for Adobe - is it for Photoshop charged updates?
I only use Reader from Adobe - still using Paint Shop Pro ...

Adobe has moved to a subscription model so you pay for your software on a rental basis. If you stop paying you lose access to the software.

Didn't know this, what are the prices like? Sounds like a bit of scam to me.

Didn't even know people paid for software these days anyway

Photoshop CC is £17.58 per month...

If you were a graphic designer and needed a page layout program, an illustration app and Photoshop, you'd be paying about £47 a month.

and how much are those products previously? £4-500 each? so if you are upgrading every couple of years, sounds about the same. you'll be writing of the cost as business expense eitherway. or just stay with an older standalone package (if like most softeware, i bet the features are diminishing returns these days)

well done you. and thats exactly why publishers want to go online only.

If you use the programs regularly its worth it - in fact if you use just one of those programs regularly it means you get use of every Adobe program across 2 computers.

I normally find the people who never pay for a product they use are the first to complain about people using their stuff without permission of contribution

So long as my CS5 still allows me to illustrate, and edit photos, then I have no need to upgrade, and in light of what you've explained, I doubt I will.

Think its great value €29,90 per month for software which would of cost me around €5,500 to purchase out right and then I used to spend a few hundred more every couple of years upgrading. Works out much cheaper.

Maybe fine for business users but I use my Paint Shop Pro for roughly an hour every month .... certainly no more than 12 hours per year.
How much would be a fair price for me to switch to CS5 with similar usage?
