What kind of infrastructure do you need to run Adobe Photoshop? Other than your own storage I can’t think of anything else. I used the same version of PS for years before they switched to a subscription model, forcing users to choose between staying on the old version forever or “upgrading” to their subscription model.

This is the real problem, Adobe made kick ass software that was so good it cut off their future revenue stream, so they decided to rent it out instead of letting people own it. Fine, that’s their decision, just like it is mine not to continue paying for something I use once a month as a photography hobbyist.

Adobe sent an update that made your old, paid for version of PS stop working?
No, you’re right. I misspoke on that. I’ll edit my post.
