Re: OT: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription

No, the WebWorks subscription expires, just like a trial version. It'll be another $800 (or whatever) in a year or the software will stop working. A perpetual license is available, but it's considerably more expensive. On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 5:51 AM, Writer wrote: >>Truth in Advertising Disclosu
