So Adobe has a licensing issue with Dolby or an "other third party" as they put it - and end users who paid for the software as recently as 3 months ago are supposed to switch versions in the middle of a project, or be "subject to infringement claims"(!?) in some IP proxy war? It seems like this is Adobe's problem. I don't know if throwing their customers under the bus was a sad attempt at fomenting pressure on Dolby to capitulate, but it's really scummy and a bad look for Adobe.

They should release a patch to remove that feature or add a replacement then, but I guess forcing people to upgrade sounded better to the finance folks.

Dolby sued Adobe and as part of the settlement or bad blood the licence was terminated https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/14/a_dolby_sues_adobe_for_dodging_cloud_license_fees/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/14/a_dolby_sues_adobe_... https://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/3:2018cv01553/323769 https://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/3:2018cv...
