Question

I pay for PS each month for few years now, however for about a year new version of PS (2021) is broken for me and I am forced to use 2020 (reported issue on forum many times, no progress).

I see 2019 was available in Creative Cloud but currently I only see 2020.

My question is - will be 2020 be available forever or it will also disappear?

Because in that case I would need to search for alternatives.

It's a safe bet that no application will be forever. With the changes in technology, it's difficult for companies to support older versions.

It should be removed from CC with the next full version, though the installer will probably still be available over on prodesigntools for example:

But as you already have it installed that should not affect you anyway, should it?

Can you restore the SSD’s content from your back-ups? 

 

You might also want to download and back-up the installer.
