It was just a month ago that I warned you to keep your installer files. Now this from Adobe:
"Users of older versions of Adobe Creative Cloud apps including Photoshop have been told to stop using them or face potential "infringement claims" from third-party companies who are unnamed but suspected to be Dolby. Adobe cites only "ongoing litigation" as the reason for the abrupt announcement."
"Adobe recently discontinued certain older versions of Creative Cloud applications. Customers using those versions have been notified that they are no longer licensed to use them and were provided guidance on how to upgrade to the latest authorized versions," said Adobe in a statement to AppleInsider."
"Unfortunately, customers who continue to use or deploy older, unauthorized versions of Creative Cloud may face potential claims of infringement by third parties. We cannot comment on claims of third-party infringement, as it concerns ongoing litigation."
"Instead, users are receiving the equivalent of a cease and desist email, informing them that the apps that they are using are discontinued."
If you're an individual user in a private lab, you may not become the focus of Adobe's attention. But, if you're a part of a large organization or government lab, I'll bet that Adobe will see the potential profit in coming after your agency.
Stay tuned ...
