(Realistically not likely to succeed - but hardly baseless.)īut it would be an argument about real/assumed/implied breach of contract with buyers/license users, and not over copyright terms or DRM. None of this justifies Adobe's actions, and a class action against Adobe would also be reasonable. (It's a little more complex with other content because the content is assumed to have an existence independent of its realisation or distribution model. This is a deliberate choice on their part. And it's up to the rights holder to decide whether or not they want to free it.

So software items with DRM can't be "stolen from the future public domain" because the DRM is part of the product or item. Nothing is in the public domain unless it's explicitly handed over to the public domain. In fact it's perfectly consistent to enforce copyright through a combination of DRM and legal challenges. You seem to be attempting to conflate them because you just don't like the idea of copyright.īut that's a different issue. Legal status and practical enforcement are unrelated issues. This is like arguing that front doors shouldn't have locks because burglary is illegal.

I occasionally need a vector editor and would probably pay another £5-10/month for Illustrator, but instead I’d have to jump to paying for full CC, so I use Affinity Designer instead! I do pay for their Photography package (Lightroom, Photoshop and cloud storage) and actually the cloud storage and iOS versions of Lightroom make it worthwhile for me. I guess maybe this is based on projections about whether (in Adobe’s case) those customers unwilling to pay a subscription are likely to ever buy upgrades, maybe also it’s easier to focus on pleasing a smaller number of more “committed” customers? Not sure really, I’d be interested to read more.īut it’s probably a conscious decision on their part, unfortunately, so I doubt we’ll ever see “one off” purchase software from Adobe again.
my assumption is they’ve made a decision that they are better served going after the customers who can pay more and leaving the rest to the competitors. I’ve noticed a few companies seemingly pricing things higher than you’d think was sensible (the one that struck me recently is Contentful, who’s pricing tiers quickly jump up to “far too expensive for a small company”). Or there was a new bug or incompatibility in their license generator, perhaps due to a server upgrade, but the source code for the licensing software was lost so there was no way to rebuild it.

Or they lost the database of who had which product and serial number, so there was no way to verify anything when someone needed to reactivite an old product or move their license to a different system. How could they lose the ability to create licenses? I can think of many scenarios: The one server that ran the legacy license code crashed, and they had no backups. My own theory about the motivation of the original giveaway is that they lost the ability to generate new licenses for those old versions, so they made it free. This seems to suggest that they are not individualized - at least for some product & platform combinations.

That was an excellent summary of Adobe's software giveaway.Īre you sure that the replacement serial numbers are individualized? When I tried googling, some of my replacement serial numbers are found on the web, some aren't. All CS3 applications are only 32-bit, but they're also the final versions with traditional UIs before they gave everything a shiny new Flash-based UI in CS4, so I'm fine with it :)

I am so thankful I got them while I was able to since aside from needing to tweak the high-DPI handling the CS3 apps work beautifully on my Windows 10 圆4 machine. I don't know exactly when, but some time around the end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020 they ended the offline installer program for CS3, removed the ability to generate offline serials in my Adobe Account page or even re-access the offline downloads for my already-generated serials, and have seemingly scrubbed their Knowledge Base of any mention that they ever existed. This resulted in a bunch of press about it being a /!\ omg completely free Creative Suite /!\, so for CS3's 2017 shutdown they made you register your original serials to your Adobe Account in exchange for an individualized offline serial and the offline installer. For CS2, they offered Activation-free replacement installers and generic serial numbers on their support page.
There are special no-activation-required versions of the entire CS2 and CS3 product line!Īdobe killed the product activation servers for CS2 products in 2013, and for CS3 products in 2017.
