scammer alert : Cumputer Dukan <link for scammer removed by moderator>  i paid for a lifetime software and instead this fraud gave me a free 7 day trial for subscription.    i requested 2021 or 2023 software not the newest for my older mac catalina os.  he sent me a reciept saying 2025 software in the link to download it - BUT it did come up as 2023 in the icon after loading.  HOWEVER it does not open as software. instead, it shows a popup box THIS IS A 7 DAY FREE TRIAL FOR SUBSCRIPTION.  i live in rural india. we have no cloud access and 1gb per day internet. i need software NOT subscription for a book with many illustrations.  i do not have the access to internet for a subscription or cloud use.  this is why i need software and adobe only sells this by 3rd party.  it looked scammy (doesnt even spell computer correctly) so first, i actually spent hours in chat on adobe to purchase direct.  the chat agent gave me the SAME LINK i was already looking at so i bought it.  and i got SCAMMED.  his website says guaranteed but he refuses to give the refund so i am warning you all - stay away from this one. maybe all 3rd party are scammers and frauds i dont know.  i have never tried to purchase before.  but this one has my money and i got NOTHING. wasted 3 days and nights trying.

Adobe does not offer a perpetual license. Creative Cloud has been subscription only since 2013. They also only offer the current and one previous version, so CC 2021 and 2023 are no longer available.

 

May I ask how you contacted Adobe? It almost sounds like you reached someone purporting to be Adobe.

i reached adobe by the chat on their website.  and YES there is software (not subscription) available by third party legal sales in INDIA (where i live) because we do not have the capacity on internet and because of that also cannot depend on the cloud for anything.
