I'm never going to subscribe to the Creative Cloud, I can't justify paying every month for my favourite tool without really owning it. At present I own Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4, and as far as functionality goes I could go on using that for decades to come, I have all the tools I need already. I do however have a couple of concerns:
- What will happen when Adobe shuts down the activation server and my hard drive dies on me and I need to install the software on a new hard drive but can't activate anymore even though I purchased a perpetual licence?
- How long will Adobe (if they do at all?) keep releasing updates for CS6 and LR4 so that the software can read RAW from the latest cameras? (NEF etc...)
If anyone has any answers, advice, workarounds or anything that might help please let me know!
