I get it. Fuck subscription based licences.
But I remember that you could keep the last version you subscribed to after subscription ended, which is way better (and the way Adobe products used to work).
Am I wrong? Or did they change that?
Jet brains does still let you keep the last used version when you unsubscribe
I thought they let you use the version you used when you started subscribing, not then you ended the subscription? This was something a lot of people were upset about. That if you subscribe for a year and stop, you end up with a year old version.

You’re both half right.
You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then every time a version has been out for 12 months while you’ve been paying you get that version perpetually (plus bugfixes).
So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.
It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.
It’s 1.1 in your fifth month. You get that perpetually after 17 months.
It’s 1.2 in your eighth month. You get that perpetually after 20 months.
You unsubscibe at 19 months but retain a perpetual version licence.
- You started with 1.0
- You ended with 1.2
- You have to roll back from 1.2 to 1.1
Previous version was incorrect. This is why I just distribute our licenses, not procure them!
Dunno, I’ve never touched an Adobe subscription because I’ve heard they’re like getting out of gym memberships to quit. 😬
Really difficult indeed, subscribed to the student sub a while ago, was cheap compared to normal prices for the whole suite. However getting out of the deal was forcing me to pay up the rest of the yearly subscription price, yo could get around this by downgrading the subscription to photoshop only and then it would let you cancel without any additional payments. Such a shitty dark pattern to do but it’s Adobe so it’s expected 🤷
