That's interesting, thanks.
(And, if the corpo-drivel in that blog post is any indication of how they really do business at Adobe, it's not surprising that they'd create these two public relations fiascoes in the same week!)

The test several days ago and was and then resolved. The Orcale thing may or may not be valid. It has only been a day and most knee jerk reactions have an answer.

Did I say it wasn't real?
Adobe's software model since CC sucks you in and churns you around the wringer to find new ways of lock-in, lock-out and extortion for something you used to be able to buy once and just enjoy using.
I used to handle corporate licensing for Adobe products for my last company before I retired and went through the whole gamut right back from early days through to "Creative Cloud".
I just love the veiled, not quite real but nevertheless designed to intimidate, 'threats' that you may be out of licence with one or more product......... Classic!

The comments on their own official forums are horrendous. People literally in their droves up in arms, helpless, desperate, freaking out about how they have been, and are being, screwed over. Seriously, some of these comments need to be looked at...

Yes, it's not nice being dependent on a corporate "bully", though I've certainly seen worse examples.
I'm not an apologist for Adobe, but inevitably you see the unhappy customers on such forums, not the satisfied ones.
However, in my experience, once a company makes clear its preferred operating model, you will always be better served by adopting it. If you can't or won't, then I would say look for an alternative - life in the backwaters will become increasingly uncomfortable.

I've never understood why people go crazy trying to change Adobe or expecting Adobe to change its business practices (regardless of what one might think of them).
It's much easier to just switch software.
I'm a happy Creative Cloud subscriber. The value is the absolute best in the industry, However, if that great value goes away tomorrow, I will just switch to something else and life goes on.
No need for all the drama and hatred. Why spend energy hating a faceless corporation???? That does not make much sense...
Yeah, that's why I called it the "18-hour test."
And Oracle-related or not, the fact is Adobe *did* sent that vaguely threatening email.
I believe there's no disputing that it's rather odd behavior from a large well-established company.
Who then if not Adobe ? Their product their customers.
I would be very worried if Oracle sent that email.
There are people that hate corporates bc they are all evil and they need a target for their BWM.
I wish DPR would ban those who spread FUD ( but in this case they should ban themself too ).

I don't think people are denying there are worse.
... says every Adobe apologist on DPR.
Do you mean it's okay if Adobe threatens its legal, paying customers, but not if Oracle does?
Don't get your point.
If that's the case, doesn't it mean that there isn't any "licensing issue"?
No, not what I mean.
Just that Adobe knows who is using their products that are possibly affected by Oracle change.
My guess is if there is an issue with Java or something like that then they probably can't have on their site and provided a warning because they had to. As for us using it I don't really know. How many have been using pirated versions for years when the older versions were current and how many were penalized for it?
You ask a good question. I'll see if I can find out more.
