If I terminate my subscription, I can continue to use old applications?

Hi everyone, I have an iMac that doesn't support the latest operating systems. So I can't update Adobe desktop applications. If I stop the subscription, can I continue to use the installed applications? Thanks so much.

Luca

luca_fabiol,

Which operating system do you have?  

 

The Creative Cloud desktop app has the following requirements:

  • Microsoft® Windows 10 (64 bit only)
  • Mac OS X v10.12 or higher
  • Internet connection

OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

I should buy a new iMac, but with the money I spend on CC, I can't. Now I'm using photoshop, illustrator, InDesign 2017 ... It is absurd to pay € 600 per year for nothing.

Professional designers often pay several thousand dollars per year for just 1 software title.   Modern equipment and software are essential tools.  If you cannot afford the tools of your trade, something is wrong.

You DO NOT need the newest version of OS X to run trhe NEWEST versions of the Adobe programs.

 

All the 2020 versions of the Adobe programs run fine on OS X 10.13.x and 10.14.x.

You would have to have a Mac that is at least 10 years old not to support OS X 10.13.x

Did you previously purchase and install older Creative Suite software on your system?  If yes, then you can keep using it. 

 

Ending your Creative Cloud subscription will terminate access to all CC apps and services.

Hi Luca,

If you cancel your Creative Cloud subscription then you lose access to the Creative Cloud apps.
