![]() Besides, I am shocked about this and just stubborn enough to pursue it a little further. I am now 70 years old and do not want to learn a new software just to do a little simple editing. I don’t want or need anything newer, I don’t want to spend any more money, and if I do, why would Adobe think it would be with them? Why not use Audacity or something similar? After using Audition for about 15 years, I am very proficient with it. The final insult came today from chat support who glibly advised me to just upgrade to Cloud Whatever. Is the legal clock ticking on my use of them as well? What’s the difference? Is there something in the pages of fine print, that we all agree to, that allows Adobe to do this? I also have old copies of Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements. When you attempt to drive it, the manufacturer won’t let you. It runs fine and you only need to go to the store. Suppose you have a car that you haven’t driven for five years. Adobe no longer allows it! How can Adobe refuse to allow me to use something, however old, that I paid for? I can understand them no longer offering updates and discontinuing support for older versions like this, but how can a company unilaterally rescind a purchase? The other day I wanted to do a little audio editing for my grandkids so I tried to install 2.0 or 3.0 from archived executable programs, using original passwords and identification. ![]() I also have a malfunctioned Mac G4 and fresh OSX 10.4 DVD - and I'd like to revive that machine.some of this software would be perfect.About 2002 or ‘03, I started digital audio editing with Cool Edit Pro, changed to Audition 1.0 when Adobe bought CEP, and faithfully upgraded through versions 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 until I retired five years ago. ![]() I'll probably never use Photoshop - because I have other editors for XP that I prefer.īut sometimes these are worth installing just for the extra fonts. I downloaded the two Photoshop products and Premier Pro 2.0. Even if there is just one or two features in Audition, it's worth having. GoLive? I kind of remember using that tool once upon a time. I think giving away CS2 isnt much of a big deal. With XP facing a 2014 expiration date - Adobe may have seen a year window to advertise their products to a whole bunch of people who will be looking for new computers once Microsoft shuts off their XP update servers. That CS2 demographic has probably decreased more quickly.Īnd Adobe knew people running new Macs wouldn't bother/benefit since apparently its not compatible with the more recent versions of OSX. Just a guess - but back in 2005 Apple/Mac may accounted for a lot of the CS2 users - particularly folks who used it professionally.īut, since Apple herds it's users to newer products. So - They probably want to decrease legacy maintenance/support costs - with the side effect of some free advertising. A corporation like Adobe never does anything to "help out customers."Īdobe took their money 7 years ago.and the bottom line on maintaining these increasingly obsolete activation servers was too high.
