I have found alternatives - Affinity Photo and EverWeb. Other than that I can live without Adobe as I also have Authoring and publishing software. All much cheaper than Adobe and with less learning curve. ... View more

So I would want to pay Adobe for CC and rent their software when I use two programs and I use them infrequently? How stupid do you believe I am? I guess I should just over look the  fact that they would not let me do the second installation for my CS6 which it was licensed for after spending 1 hour 27 minutes in Chat and getting directed back to the same site I was on at the beginning? ...

There is a phone number because I actually talked to someone. Just can't find it again. ADOBE is run by East Indians and their support is mostly all East Indian. They are rude, and all they want is for you to get frustrated and go away. Or they tell you they will give you a discount for CC. Rent software? NEVER. I want it in my hands so that I can reload in cases like mine when the computer fully fails after two weeks. ... View more

Did all that. Didn't work. So the result of the CS6 was a Chat session for 1hour 47 minutes after which they cut me off and invalidated my license stating it was pirated software, even though I sent them pictures of the box and explained everything numerous times. Now I went to install my CS5, which has a 2 activation license, and it failed even though it's only been installed ONE SINGLE TIME. Seriously, I am so finished with Adobe and it's poor customer service and support. They are the worst of the worst. I would never "rent" software from anyone. It's economical and it's poor service. ... View more

Again I'm going to take exception with your comment about Apple. Apple specifically has and open door for developers. Adobe just isn't interested in helping out customers is the bottom line. They are more interested in us renting software from them even though we use it occasionally and it would be a waste of money. My 2010 MAC is running Sierra just fine and it still brings up CS4 and Dreamweaver CS6 so I don't get where you come off blaming Apple for your support and customer relation problems. ... View more

You are wrong - I cannot even migrate my Premere Elements 13 to my new MAC - it simple won't work properly. I also have CS5 running on an old MAC. So my guess is you are from ADOBE - right? If so, then tell me why Adobe has complete cut off support for all products except CC. I wrote that I found other software that works probably as well as Photoshop and Dreamweaver, some for free and one that cost $49.00 and is wonderful. Yet you won't show that on this forum Why? since you don't support the software that I purchase legally any longer and you have cut me off from migrating it. I can't even re-register my Elements 13 again so I guess that is another piece of useless software that I can uninstall. Again - I have been through all your links and still am unable to even load my CS5 and cannot load Dreamweaver CS6 which I purchased the upgrade for. So tell me again how great ADOBE is? ...

Just spent over 1 hour in Chat only to get transferred 5 times and got no information. Finally they transferred me from Tech Support to someone else and they just stopped and sent me to the forums. I have to agree this is the WORST company I have ever tried to deal with and their customer support is awful. East Indians, not Americans and they expect me to take out a subscription for CC.... no change in hell. Now I am stuck with an old MAC that is dying and can't figure out how to transfer my CS5 to the new one because it only allows one MAC at a time. If I try to use migration assistant the software is inoperative. I HATE ADOBE. ... View more
