[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 1033389"] As you know, several major companies offer now to buy a subscription to their software products that is located in cloud servers, instead of selling a product that we can install in whole in our computer (PC, laptop, etc.) They stopped selling standalone products, AFAIK this is the case with Adobe. I am not happy about this at all. I prefer to have a software installed on my PC and use it whenever I want for as long as I want. But now I have to pay a monthly or yearly fee in order to use their products and when the subscription ends, I have nothing!!! Two major companies I can think of are Adobe and Microsoft (Microsoft Office - will check if they still sell standalone or not). What is your opinion about this? [/QUOTE]
