Only the exclusive distribution of the software via the subscription service is extremely disadvantageous to the customer. The compelling customer loyalty to the subscription Adobe enters the position, prices, updates and scope of updates to make as the company wants. A penalty by the customer through product denial (For example, by raising prices or very little innovation in updates ...) is virtually impossible. While you always have the right to cancel the subscription, but you stand then no software for processing eg already created documents because - another work is thus impossible. The subscription gives the customer in a professional long dependency situation. I think it would be fair if subscription customers after 2-3 years Abozeit could assume that at the time of the subscription occurred actual product package at a termination time with unlimited license for further use, for example - if you will, with payment of a compulsory trip! I for one am the CS5 / 6 use until it is no longer ... Each of now enters into a subscription are advised to at least 3 years in the absolute Adobe cloud dependence - then the documents created are no longer backwards compatible to the last yet be indefinitely licensed CS version (6) ... I hope to Dato Adobe rethinks its distribution concept again or the competition brings similar products on the market ...
