use creative cloud without subscription?

[deaftv84]

I could not find the subject "continue use CC without subscrption". I don't see or not find it. So here is my post. I own Abode for years and years then start subscribe Creative Cloud. Due to fininacial difficulites so I had to stop. I was surprised that I could not able to use CC with my old projects. I thought that when stop subscription, it will not be able to upgrade. Is there a way that I can still use CC without subscription?

No... when you stop paying, the subscription programs stop working

Is there another way? I miss old way. Bought DVD with Master Adobe. I can use them anytime.

No. No other way with Adobe. Adobe Creative Cloud apps are all subscription only.

As John T Smith says, when you stop paying, they stop working. You never actually own them, you rent them.

If you have a compatible computer, you may still install CS4-or-CS5-or-CS6 (Mac Catalina will not work)

You do need to completely remove all traces of CC before installing your old program

Read Cloud takes over https://community.adobe.com/t5/Get-Started/Get-off-the-cloud/td-p/8075485 for some ideas

That's bummer. I got new iMac. I don't have CS6 download version. I don't know where it was. Look like I had no choice to start again on subscription. I just wish they allowed us to continue using Adobe even without subscription. Just not allow support if I need or not update versions. They should be more flexible some way.
