I would like to purchase the software (a perpetual license) without a subscription. I am unable to see the option on the Adobe website. I would be happy with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI but that is no longer available and supported. Does anyone have suggestions?

Correct answer AnandSri

Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

You can purchase Acrobat Pro 2020 and Acrobat Standard 2020 by contacting your Adobe Authorized Reseller.

If you would like the most updated non-subscription version of Acrobat, Acrobat Classic desktop software provides three years of paid access to Acrobat desktop and is available as a one-time, upfront purchase. Learn more at Adobe Acrobat Classic FAQ.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

For students and faculty edition (you need to have an .edu email), I found where I can buy Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 with a perpetual license, no annual renewal.

Hi all,

Is there still a Permanent License offered in the US for Adobe Acrobat PDF (which version? Pro? Standard? others? and prices? Links?) in 2024?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions...

Best,

Serg.

Adobe have behaved VERY very unethically here and I would have to suggest that you are 'perpetuating' this nonsense.

Adobe offer NO SUCH PRODUCT as a non subscription version.

What you are describing IS a subscription where the terms are;

1. Renewable every three years, (if you so choose).

2. Payment frequency, every 3 years.

The Adobe wording that you have copied an pasted is VERY poor and misleading. Unless I have no choice I will never buy an Adobe product again.

Beware buying lifetime subscriptions! Do you research, big push for subscriptions only.

Cant afford that price for the pro or standard version. I dont really want to use pirate versions but dont see I have much option. I would be prepared to pay up to 200 Euros but not 600 Euros!!!!

The way Adobe handles their sales is exteremly confusing. I'm cancelling my subscription for the sheer fact that I can't simply access the one product I want, without the CC bloat... awful UX!

I just installed this on a W10 machine--UG from 2017 Pro. It reaked havoc on my Adobe products. Requires login even though perpetual and reset license information on all. I have been using Adobe products since they first came out. 2017 is my last version of this product. I am going to try a product designed for individuals not interested in subscriptions. Terrible support.

The solution offered only takes you to the subscription page.

Perhaps the question was not understood.

How do you get Adobe with a one time purchase WITH NO SUBSCRIPTION?

The question was certainly understood and answered. However, Adobe are forever rearranging their web site to hide the non-subscription product ever more. If you can find "Acrobat 2020", which Adobe don't want you to do, then that's what you need.

I had this same problem and DID finally find the flat out "buy it" instead of subscription. ($445!) Just use the search bar to type in Adobe Pro 2020, and it's one of the two options that comes up. For that amount of money, I'm going to look into a few other third party products, as all I REALLY need is just the Form editor.

$449??!! I've been using an Education Edition of Acrobat 8 for years. Has Adobe lost their minds?? First I can no longer activate my copy after I changed computers and now you want $449? Way to screw your customers.
