Fireworks Deactivation

I get EOL, and I get not supporting an EOL product. What I don't understand is why the software I paid for, which works for the tasks I performed, has been deactivated. Fireworks is what I use for my basic image editing tasks. Sometimes you just need a Volkswagen and not a Rolls-Royce. And yes, I am a Master Collection subscriber.  I am not trying to reinstall, I am simply trying to use the tool that I paid for and installed long ago. Worked just fine 3 weeks ago, and now I am on a 30-day trial? Do better, Adobe - do you really think that repossessing software purchased from you, which is still fully functional, is a good look? To me, this is outright theft. And yeah, there are alternatives - looks like it is time to find replacements for my other Adobe products. This is a chilling precedent to set and something we ALL discussed when y'all introduced the subscription services, explaining why so many of us bought our final "bought outright" collections.
