For products like Photoshop and AutoCAD, it would have been great to have the option to use it for a few months and stop. This way, I can subscribe when work is available and I can offset cost by earnings. Of course, I am speaking as a freelancer.

However, what I understand is that this level of on and off of subscription is very difficult.

I bought a copy of Photoshop 6.0 (2000) a few months ago for use on a modern computer. Works fine, has (almost) all the features of modern Photoshop, zero DRM with the exception of an easily saved serial number. One time purchase.
