If I pay for a product, I want to be able to get permanent access to the software: your new model has no benefit for me whatsoever and in truth is inconvenient in every conceivable way. little did I know that you were planning to make all access transient and continually expensive. I've been planning to buy photoshop for years, and I wish I'd done it before you pulled this antagonistic move, but I was saving my money. Well, adobe, you lost another customer to your new creative cloud model. I will purchase and use software.I WILL NOT 'RENT' software which is what Adobe is proposing. I do not want to change.but Adobe's changes will force me to do so. There are several that will do most everything Adobe's software provides. If Adobe insists on this business model, I will probably use one of the other photo editing product available on the market. I have not purchase every upgrade, but have done so when I felt the changes warranted an upgrade.

I have been Adobe user since I purchase the CS2 Creative Suite and used lightroom since it's inception. If this is the case.and I believe it is.THIS SUCKS! This will allow all upgrades as long as you pay the fee.but if you cease to pay the fee, the software will be deactivated. It will only be available via the cloud and everyone will be required to pay monthly license fee to use the product. In other words.You will not be able to purchase the software either on a disc or download that is yours to use indefinitely once you purchase the product. I understand from a very reliable source that CS6 and Lightroom 4 will be the last photoshop software that will be available to actually purchase and own.
