> A number of those issues are present even without subscriptions. For example, let's say you take it back to 2003, and buy Photoshop outright instead of subscribe. $700 piece of software, but when your computer dies and you need it on a new system, can't find the license key?
This is the same with losing anything of value. It's called a valuable lesson.
- hn_acker 2y agoPossibly just a nitpick, but back when Photoshop had permanent licenses did the terms (and the software itself) allow customers to make functional copies (with the one license key, I mean) and store the copies elsewhere? For me, the lesson is: use free as in freedom software over proprietary software whenever practical.
