Purchasing Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 (Student version)

Question

Hi,

I currently own Acrobat Pro XI version and it no longer works on my Mac (since I have Catalina and it only supports 64-bit apps, I had to finally give up Photoshop CS4 as well). I have two questions regarding Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017;

1) Is the student version (Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017) a permanent license (it never expires)?

2) I find that Acrobat usually updates one every two years, is there an Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 version around the corner?

Thanks for your help,

Jesse

To be very specific:

(1) In the general case, Acrobat Pro 2017 is indeed a perpetual license; we do not use the word “permanent” in Adobe licenses. If Apple, for example, again makes dramatic changes to the MacOS or the Mac hardware (such as yet again changing the underlying processor, let's say from Intel to an Apple proprietary architecture), Acrobat Pro 2017 might not work on that new configuration. Also note that there are some student / academic group licenses for Adobe products that are time-limited; you buy a license via your academic institution and that license expires after a certain period of time. You need to carefully check on what type of “student version” you are obtaining from where.

(2) A this point, Adobe has not announced any new perpetual license version of Acrobat Pro and typically doesn't pre-announce such products.
