Subscription-based models are a plague, but at least Jetbrains products eventually offer a perpetual fallback license for if you stop paying.

It's absurd that Adobe can just take tools you might depend on away after years of paying the subscription.

What do you mean with perpetual fallback license?

If you stop the subscription, you don't get upgrades. But you keep whatever the last version you had, it's not locked out by a license check.

That’s good, I think that’s a much better and fairer model than being locked out completely of a thing that you did pay for.
