Now that I have retired, I will most likely settle on CS 6 (or maybe CS 7?), and just work with those. Then, I could easily amortize the cost, based on the income that they generated. They have run very well, and most have been upgraded, as new versions were released. OTOH, I have made a lot of $ with my various Adobe programs. Then, with Corel Draw 4.0, was informed that I had to buy the version 2.0 upgrade, then the version 3.0 upgrade, and finally the version 4.0 upgrade, costing more than just buying a new license for version 4.0. I had Corel Draw about version 1.5, but skipped two.

While I am not pleased with Adobe's decisions, the upgrade paths for many programs have been strict, and for a very long time. As I had skipped CS 3 & CS 4 (what was once called Production Premium with Premiere and After Effects), I did get the notice (plus saw many threads on these forums), and upgraded to CS 5, then CS 5.5, and finally CS 6. Then I had to check my calendar, and make sure that I did things within the changing rules.Īfter about CS 4, the requirements tightened, yet again. I upgraded that through every version, except 5.5, all the way to CS 2.

I have had at least one, stand-alone (usually two) licenses for PS, from version 2.5, bought the day that it hit for the PC. Then, with the CS products, things tightened, as John points out. I think that I went from AI 1.x to version 4, and all it took was my fee, and then some tweaking by Customer Service, as the S/N database had changed. Once, one could upgrade over several versions. If this policy stands, Adobe has lost a customer for life. I'm expecting fair pricing on upgrades - not being required to throw away the slightly outdated program and completely repurchase it for the minor tweaks.

I'm not asking for free upgrades from Adobe. Since I was an early adopter, I get free upgrades for life.

Even if they just did it for new customers and allowed their long-term loyal customers to receive the same service that they bought into Adobe for. Perhaps I will suck it up and learn to use Final Cut Pro X.īasically, I'm shocked that Adobe would do this. I was planning on buying both After Effects as well as Premiere to replace Final Cut Pro, but I'm glad I learned about Adobe's lack of loyalty to customers before investing. I don't see how that is an advantage over a $199 upgrade even if I was frequently online for work. I am not interested in using Cloud: I am frequently offline and even the $29.99 discount comes to $360/year. I did not receive a notice, though I am registered for CS4.
