   Just reinstalled the copy of Adobe CS6 I bought 11 years ago. The serial number verification service no longer exists so it will stop working in a week.

   FFS, when I spend THAT MUCH on something I expect it to last!

     @catmachine they emailed to say they’re revoking the license on all the copies they ever produced of all their software over the coming weeks, even if you did have it registered it would deauthorise

     @BethanyBlack Oh I didn't see that! Must have gone to spam. I don't use it enough to subscribe to Adobe CC (hence need for reinstallation).

     @BethanyBlack @catmachine good times. particularly for lightroom (last "you pay, you own it" version) which i still use to manage my 15,000 or so photos. time to look for a cracked copy of it then just in case i ever need to reinstall it

     @patrick_h_lauke @catmachine even if you don’t need to reinstall and you don’t have the online verification turned off I’d seen reports of it deauthorising
