@isabelle_8544 That's an excellent and very important question about what happens at the end of the 3-year update offer! It speaks to the fundamental difference between perpetual licenses and subscription models, and you're wise to clarify it before making a decision.
If you accept the offer to update to the 2025 version for 3 years, you are almost certainly entering into a subscription agreement for the newer software. This means:
-
During the 3 years: You will have access to and be able to use the 2025 version of Adobe Acrobat (likely Acrobat Pro DC) and receive all updates, bug fixes, and new features released during that period.
-
At the end of the 3 years: Your access to the 2025 version will cease unless you renew your subscription. You will no longer be able to use the 2025 software.
The subscription to the newer 2025 version does not remove or alter your existing perpetual license for Adobe 15. So, if your Adobe 15 version was functional and licensed before you started the 3-year update period, it will remain functional and licensed afterward. You can always revert to using it, keeping in mind its age and potential compatibility limitations with newer operating systems or file formats that may have emerged since its release. Therefore, you won't be left with "nothing at all," but your access to the newer, updated 2025 version is contingent on maintaining the subscription.
