I tried to cancel my subscription six months in advance of the termination date, and they refused to cancel it, saying I would have to call up the month before it was due to expire. In the interim I misplaced my credit card and had to cancel it - my adobe account subscription was automatically suspended when the payments didn't go through and I never heard another word from them (I deleted my adobe account just to be safe...). For an unexpectedly joyous role-model, Microsoft Office subscription plans are delightfully drop-in/drop-out - I've done several one-month office subscriptions to do stuff in excel.
