I still own the CS6 suite, the last one before Adobe went mad with subscriptions. Even back then they tried to switch CS6 users to CC users by accepting some ridiculous license agreement that would lead to losing access to CS6. Adobe became truly horrible when the current CEO took the reins.

Its cool how adobe has web scraping robots like bots that scans countless computers in search for adobe software that doesn't have a ongoing subscription. Oh wait. They can't.

As a person who doesn't need to do adobe software, I'd pirate their software just out of spite. Let them fight me.

I guess they don't need bots to scans computers, they have telemetry in the software that send home who is doing what.
