Switching back to an owned version won't be an issue: in a couple of years TCS will be subscription-only. That's the path Adobe took with Creative Suite-- first year or two subscription was an option, soon it will be mandatory. They get more $ by forcing all users to upgrade with each new release whether they want to or not, so barring the CS subscription-only model causing mass migration to other products (sadly, not likely), TCS will go the same path.

Monopolies are decidedly not consumer-friendly.

Hi everyone
 
I'm thinking about moving to the TCS subscription model (please don't all flame me at once).
 
Does anyone know what'd happen if I wanted to change back to outright ownership in a couple of years? E.g. If I stayed on the subscription model until TCS6 was released, would I then be able to buy TCS6 outright, at the upgrade prices? Or would I be stuck with buying a full TCS6 licence? I'm not keen on breaking our upgrade chain.
 
Also, does anyone know if the TCS version of Illustrator stays in sync with the Creative Cloud version? Or could there be a delay while Adobe integrate a new version of Illustrator into the TCS?
 
Thanks!
Rebecca
