Thanks for the links. It’s often hard for those of us without the Perpetual Payment Plan to find download links that AREN’T CC.
Still running LR6 and PS6 as long as I can. I’ll eventually need to join the cloud, meanwhile I’m enjoying the lack of Adobe’s hand in my wallet on a monthly basis.
Eric Reagan says
I never picked up the CS6 perpetual license or I might do the same. At $10/mo. though, I can live with it for now.
Jared says
I had no choice with Adobe Premiere, so I joined the cloud for only that product. I got in on the Black Friday sale and paid up front.
Paying the equivalent of $20/month is still better than $50/month right now. When my needs change, so might the diameter of the pipeline from my wallet to Adobe.
Still, I wish there were a substantial discount for paying the whole year up front.
Eric Reagan says
The whole “renting software” thing is such a big turnoff for many people. I do wish Adobe would do something that rewarded people who subscribe for a minimum timeframe. Something like, “after 18 mos. you get perpetual access to the software that was new when you signed up.” So, even if you cancel, you can still access files for editing if you need to.
Jared says
That would be fine with me. Even if the perpetual software was locked at the version it was 18 months ago. At least you’d have SOMETHING, rather than get completely cut off.

I went CC about a year after, hoping it would be a failed experiment. I’m in AE and PPro almost daily and CS6 just cannot do the job for the work I need to produce, let alone even open some project files accurately. Really was left with no other choice.
What is more aggravating about Adobe these days is the actual CC app, the implementation/delivery of the updates, and almost ALWAYS having to completely uninstall an application before an update will take, and having to log into a “clean” user profile each time I update. I’m plagued with errors, bugs, glitches… I miss the days of installer files that I could EASILY go back to or download once (not 3+ times on both desktop and laptop). I want to turn off Adobe Stock pushes and all the automatic startup garbage. I’ve been moderately successful, but I still cannot kill a process or two.
