I own an ancient box copy of Adobe Photoshop CS4 and use it just because of muscle memory. Since a year or so, periodically it bullies me with a popup that my unlicensed software is going to be disabled and it shows every 15 minutes regardless if I run Photoshop or not. Can't close it without going to Adobe website.

I'll never going to buy or support anyone in buying anything produced by Adobe. Not going to cry if they go down either.

I'm also nursing along CS4 but (very fortunately) haven't seen that error. I'm woefully out of date, so maybe got lucky with that.

After many sleepless nights fighting with Adobe's licensing servers, which had erroneously declared my installation no longer valid, I keep an extra desktop offline with my 2nd licensed install ready for their next round of shenanigans.
