You are correct. FM2019 was the last one you could buy a perpetual license for. Adobe no longer sells FM2019. I'd be wary of anyone claiming they still do unless you can verify that they are Adobe authorized resellers for retail software. On Mon, Feb 21, 2022 at 4:48 PM Michael Heine wrote: >

CDW is a reputable company. One thing to check: 2019 was available as a 32-bit or 64-bit program. I am not sure of both shipped in the same box, but you should get the 64-bit version if you want to take advantage of more memory, etc. Be aware though, that any existing 32-bit plugins that you might
