Other software companies like Microsoft, Quark, and Corel work exactly the same way – you couldn’t go to one of them and say you switched computers and could you please send me an old version of Word or Office for the Mac… But you’re right in that Adobe is not alone in the requirement to repurchase if you change platforms with an older release. I know it sounds childish, but the whole thing is completely unfair and I, like many others, am frustrated at my lack of control over the things that I buy and the companies lack of respect for the people who pay their bills and keep them in business. Apple is notorious for forcing their customers to buy everything Apple at a highly inflated price. That’s another thing that’s keeping me from taking the plunge to Mac. To try to force me to upgrade, just shows how greedy Adobe and other companies have gotten. There is nothing wrong with it and there is no valid reason for me to upgrade. ![]() I bought the software, with the intention of using it for life. I wouldn’t even be considering a new computer if the other idiots in the world would stop making viruses to damage other’s hard-earned investments. It’s completely unfair for a company to expect someone to repurchase software just because they get a new computer. ![]() ![]() The problem is that if I do, I will lose Photoshop unless I’m willing to pay (I’m not) for a crossgrade upgrade. I own a PC and have been thinking about upgrading to a Mac. I bought the software, I own the software, and it is my right to now use it for as long as I want without being forced to spend gobs of money on an insanely priced “new and improved” version. ![]() I have an older version of Photoshop and have no desire to upgrade. I just think it’s ridiculous how these companies gyp their paying customers.
