I think the monthly check will happen in the background, you won't even know about it.
Your subscription I guess will be an auto payment every month via debit or credit card.

At the moment its easy to download and hack the PS file, a subscription method requires a monthly check online. It will be this online check which will stop pirate copies working. As Adobe works on this then the encryption and methods to circumnavigate will get tighter as with Sky cards years ago. I think this is the main reason to go subscription to switch off all those pirate copies circulating. edit - I should have asked you why you think the subscription licensing model will stop piracy?
I don't think there will be a time out limit I think once the check come backs as a fail then Adobe will be able to deactivate the software on the computer.
Eventually people will get bored trying to circumnavigate it every month.

I've already mentioned, but amateurs like us are not Adobe's main user base for the CS Suite and professionals will not want to spend the time, money and risk on migrating to a new system, that will probably cost more than the software to start with.
There are 2 issues with the new policy - 1 Cost, 2 Tie In. If you are a pro then you probably upgrade every year regardless and therefore won't see as big an increase in cost as someone that used to skip versions. Pro's don't care about being tied in as I've already said, they would rather stay with what they know.
If Adobe do increase profits from this then it's very hard to argue it's not the correct decision. If they don't then maybe it will revert back.
Why is this wrong? Do you doubt a subscription method will not stop piracy? Sky used to have a problem with chipped cards and their technology department soon found ways to stop that.cabstar wrote:

lets be honest here the only reason people are unhappy is because the most pirated software in the world will no longer be pirated. The hackers may have found a workaround yesterday, but this wont be so in the future. I am pleased with this and as creatives we should back companies that find ways to stop their business being destroyed by infringement. This will result in mire r and d by adobe and a better product for the future that we can all enjoy.
With respect that is just wrong - this will do nothing at all to even slow down piracy, I think the only way to stop piracy completely is to make it a 100% cloud based application, which may happen in many years ... ...

I also dont get what you mean about the cost and the tie in, if you pay the full £600ish for PS then surely that is a huge investment and tie in, also with the subscription methid there is never any worry about future upgrade costs. I still think Adobe are right to do this to protect their business and their goods, its like complaining about having security guards at the front of Tesco, we all know why they are there.
I also dont get the migration issue here either, soinstead of paying up front i pay monthly and download the software and run it, hardly much of a migration is it?

But the cost if renting it is cheaper than buying it even if you rented it for nearly three years.

I just don't get the negativity around this. No one ever owns software whether paid up front or by monthly subscription. We pay for nearly everything else on a monthly basis now, sky or virgin subscriptions, broadband, Spotify, zune or xbox music rtc etc.
all adobe has actually dinr has reduced the major barrier to buying PS the huge initial outlay. Surely that's a good thing.
i've heard if pro photographers complaining about not being able to afford photoshop if there us a recession well uf your business cannot afford a key tool for around £20 a month then to be honest you dint really need photoshop as surely you have nonpaid work to edit.
