minus-squareFriendlyBeagleDog@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前Subscription-based models are a plague, but at least Jetbrains products eventually offer a perpetual fallback license for if you stop paying. It’s absurd that Adobe can just take tools you might depend on away after years of paying the subscription.

minus-squareResoluteCatnap@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前Basically when you buy your subscription you also get perpetual access to the current X.Y.Z version + any future bugfixes (Z). So if you stop paying next year you still have access to the version from when your started your subscription.
