Among the most significant changes with this year’s Elements releases has little to do with new features but instead concerns the ways users purchase and own the software. While prior versions of Photoshop and Premiere Elements have been lifetime licenses — the user buys the software and then owns it indefinitely — this year’s release has moved to a three-year license term.

    I wasn’t aware you could still purchase a license for any of their products. As shitty as this company has been, I’m shocked they still had a “lifetime license” for anything. Fucking sad… we used to just call this “buying software”

    My kid can use some of their products in a graphic design class. He has the opportunity to get a free “perpetual” license through his school so he can practice at home, but i guess shows what that is worth

        Yes, I consider it a win that my kids were brought up familiar with Libre Office
