No no no. No other company holds you work hostage. If I dont pay to upgrade maya. I can still open all my maya files. If you dont pay adobe you cant even open your files anymore. Thats just wrong.

I don't like subscriptions either but often found that software companies have ways to force you into regular upgrades anyway.This doesn't have to be as brutal as a banking software which simply refused to work after a while - for example Adobe Lightroom adds new camera models only to the latest version.If you have to buy a new camera you have to buy the upgrade which may be at least as expensive as a subscription.I guess if you have to use commercial software you are always at the mercy of the manufacturer.Laurenz2014-07-27 4:41 GMT+02:00 Andrew Davidhazy <andpph@xxxxxxx>:
Dan Mitchell asked me to facilitate the inclusion of his message onto the list as it was rejected by the listerver as containing a word that prompted it to act because it contained the word S**bscription in the message. This is something to “think” about … if anyone on the lust gets a similar “rejection”. The program that runs the list is sensitive to certain words especially if they appear on the firs line of a message body. It “thinks” you are trying to execute a command … like adding yourself or deleting yourself from lust, etc. So I have modified the offending word and hopefully the message goes through as intended.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Personally I just do not like, or will ever buy, any software on su*scription. It's simply a way for vendors to forever collect money, and only benefits the vendor - it's pay-up or we brick your software. Users never did buy new versions of P.S. everytime one became available; they stuck to their tried and tested older version until something significant was added - not good for the vendor.
Just as with Cloud based software you are giving away your total control - but Clouds fail as we know and licence servers can also fail. Beware, it is just as possible to sell hardware to run the same way; you are at the thin end of an awfully big wedge !

I'm pondering upgrading to PS on the cloud.
Can anyone using this service speak to the ease of using it, any highlights or pitfalls to watch out for.
Thanks so much,
Lea
