Incidents[edit | edit source]
Transition to subscription based software[edit | edit source]
Adobe initially distributed their software with perpetual licenses, where the user would only pay once for the right to own and use a copy of an application (or, through Adobe's Creative Suite, a collection of applications). In 2011, Adobe introduced Creative Cloud, a service that gave users access to all of Adobe's current software for a monthly fee; Creative Cloud eventually superseded Creative Suite and all of Adobe's perpetual licenses, and as of today, the only way to access up-to-date Adobe software officially is through Creative Cloud.
