Like student and teachers do a disable or senior citizen get the discount or they have to pay the full price. I have downloaded the free 30 days version and can not pay the full price when it will ask to buy it. Looking for discount.

Sadly, so true. Just like during the pandemic, seniors and the disabled are considered "disposible". And still are. 

The saddest thing is that Photoshop and AI are the two most horrid graphics programs with which I have had to work. So many others were so much more intuitive and able. But at seems that now an entire new generation is going to have to work with these cumbersome beasts.

I also am fully disabled. Before my aneurysm I owned a botique art gallery/framing/photography editing company. I purchased Photoshop CS6 for over 1200 dollars. Now that I would like to continue to pursue my photography I find that I:

1. Cannot access my old CS6 even though I have the seriel number minus the last 4 numbers.

2. Support will not help me because those last 4 numbers are redacted from the program files for "security"

3. Its been years so I don't have that business email anymore.

I just want to be able to exercise my creative juices. I am not even capable of leaving my apartment on my own.

In response to a disabled person being the same as a regular customer... My disability bearly covers my most basic expenses, not to mention those that I simply wish to have to stimulate my creative juices. 

I do not plan to make money off of the creative cloud, it would affect my disability anyway. Also I am not really capable of any type of schedule. 

I really think that a senior and disabled discount is justified Adobe... get on board and help those of us that aren't going to stoop to stealing or key cracking.... We do it because we respect your company and product. So please help us out also. It doesn't actually cost you anything but is a great example to other companies and genuine good will.

I would like to add a voice here as a disabled pensioner, adobe should consider giving all pensioners whether age, disability, veteran etc the same discounts as students get or better.  they are missing out on a massive influential audience of people that could teach and share and spread the love if they were not priced out of using  the adobe products .

I have to agree. Those of us taking up the Adobe way in the last century and sticking with it for decades should be rewarded for our loyalty and frankly for getting this far through watergate, aids, a couple of wars, Y2K, the Great Recession and a pandemic or two.

Wadda ya say Adobe?

I have been an Photoshop and Illustrator user since version 1.0.
I bought my laptop PC in 2010 and my version of Photoshop is 5.5 which i bought in '99 or so....  i used it on my last Mac which was a 2005 laptop because I had CDs for both mac and pc and as such have used it on my work PCs and that 2010 PC.  I am terrified that my PC will die and I will have to switch to a photoshop rental.  I only use it for photo touch up for personal use, and i use it to make silly montages of Trump or whatever... very simplistic needs.  I am 70 and when my Toshiba dies, i guess that's when my hobby will die unless Adobe develops a set of poverty balls... definition= money is not the only goal.
Dear Adobe: Offer a version that has most of the features akin to the old CD versions.

I draw single frame cartoons (new yorker style), scan them and then use PS to enlarge and clean up the image. Then I use the select tool to fill areas with shades of gray. That's pretty much it. My CS5 version for Mac that I bought did the job but stopped working then I updated the OS. Now I have no income and can't afford to buy what I had.

Since I purchased CS5 and it no longer works on my Mac, I feel I should get a discount on PhotoShop. I'm  disabled senior and only use in to touch up and ad shades of gray to the single-frame comics I draw freehand. I scan them and then open with Photoshop. No other app I've tried  allows me to do what I need to do so well.

I'm a retired photographer, age 70. I still shoot for my own pleasure but mostly I'm building out my website from my photo archives. I started using Adobe Photoshop in the 80's, then got into PageMill, GoLive and DreamWeaver plus Lightroom. Along the way I promoted Adobe products quite  bit too. In other words, I was a loyal user for many years and paid quite a bit to Adobe. Now I would like to use DreamWeaver along with the Lightroom/Photoshop package but for my light, personal use the current monthly rate is unreasonable and unaffordable.

I worked in graphic arts for 30 years. Worked with Pagemaker through InDesign 2019 and Photoshop since Photoshop 2 and the earliest Illustrators all through 2019 when I retired. Now I can't anymore and can't afford them.I was with Adobe from the beginning, now I'm out. Give seniors a break
