The Great Adobe Purge of ’19

I remember people expressing concerns about this exact scenario back when Oracle bought Sun.<p>Reminds me of a James Gosling quote: &quot;during the integration meetings between Sun and Oracle, where we were being grilled about the patent situation between Sun and Google, we could see the Oracle lawyer&#x27;s eyes sparkle&quot;

I understand the desire to not support older versions, but why just marking&#x2F;advertising them as `not supported`, insecure isn&#x27;t enough. Is this Adobe being unnecessarily aggressive or is there some other reason?

I am holding on to my copy of Adobe Creative Suite 6 until I die.

I know a large number of people who maintain older Macs and PC specifically to run older versions of Adobe Photoshop and Premiere. This is going to hurt the freelance video editors very hard.

Does anybody know the oldest version of Photoshop you can buy and not license? Can you still buy the software second hand?
