Just to be totally clear this isn’t an article bemoaning Adobe, but a loophole I found which could help folks that feel like they were duped into a situation and they can’t really afford to get out of it.

Thanks for posting this. I don't use Adobe products but I have been caught in binds like this and had to find the right sequence to escape without paying a fine. I've never thought to share but after reading this I think I will!

One suggestion: it would be best if you followed up once in a while and tried to check when this no longer works. Then you could preface the article with an "UPDATE: as of XX/XX/2021" alerting future Googlers that it doesn't work. I always appreciate that when troubleshooting this stuff.

Good idea, I find that the first person it doesn't work for they usually reach out to ask if there's another way.

So far there's been quite a few DM's asking me if I got into trouble going through this process, and that is worked for them.
