This applies to programs such as Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, Premiere, Animate, and Media Director.
The company explained its decision by the fact that they stopped supporting some older versions of the programs and therefore, according to the terms of their agreement, users no longer have licenses to use them.
Note that the company did not explain the reason for this decision, but implied on its Twitter account that it was due to “current litigation”. Maybe we’re talking about a lawsuit filed by Dolby Labs last year.
Recall that Adobe switched to a subscription distribution model in 2013. This resulted in significant revenue growth for customers, despite the cost increase.
In response, Dolby Labs accused Adobe of copyright infringement regarding the new licensing model. In its statement, the company confirmed that the letters sent to users are genuine, but did not provide any additional information.
