Adobe b-tards
« on: Wed, 14 November 2012, 19:48:38 »
I ran into a delightful change in Adobe's ToS during my latest Creative Cloud automatic renewal. When I first subscribed to CC I was allowed unlimited activations, and then about a month ago I was only allowed to have up to three computers activated at a time. Now I can only have two. Well, I use three computers regularly that all need the software installed, and like hell am I going to go through more work of deactivating/reactivating everyday when I could just steal it like the other 75% of people using these programs.

But if that were the end of it, I wouldn't be posting :)
No, there isn't a "Cancel subscription" button on Adobe's various websites, and yes, you are expected to contact them over the phone or through their Livechat service. Fearing incomprehensible conversation with the former option, I tried the Livechat service. Here's what I got:

I posted to their forums with my experience and that image an hour ago and still nothing has come of it.

Warning: don't waste money on Adobe. It's really sad that it's easier to steal something than it is to purchase it...

Well, considering they're my way of livelihood and hobby (when not keyboarding), I would expect myself to own it. But after all of this, ugh. No way.

Agreed, if you are practicing I think it's cool to pirate Adobe stuff, but I wouldn't dare publish a game without a license.
