  > In most jurisdictions, buying a copy of Photoshop is the purchase of a good. This may be how you wish things were, but not how they actually are. Read any software licence and see what you are actually getting for your money.

    Old version of Photoshop (3.0, 4.0, ... CS5 up to CS6) gave you a license key you could sell. It didn't include a time limit. It was yours and you could sell it or use it forever. That's gone. You can try to find old licenses for CS6, sure, but at some point, but it's a very different purchase and licensing system from what they have now.

      Exactly a licence key - which you could transfer to someone else. You didn't own the software. You owned a licence to use it.

        That's false. When one purchases a copy of a (book|software|video), one then owns that good. A typical proprietary software licence text is irrelevant when it comes to terms of ownership, transfer of ownership, use of the good etc. as the law applies and determines "how [things] actually are". A contract, let alone a unilaterally dictated licence text, is legally unable to take away certain rights the consumer enjoys.
