Yes, _exactly_! Which is what I consider unreasonable from Adobe - the rate for 
a single tool (i.e., FM), given their subscription pricing for suites, is too 
high.

Now, if you are more than one version out of date with FM, you may as well kiss 
that old license goodbye ... unless you can keep it using without upgrading or 
bug fixes.

I suppose this may work for those who are willing to consider subscription 
licenses - I am not! "Your mileage may vary", of course! 😊

Extreme point: For me, for the occasional use I give many of my tools, having 
to pay monthly (even a year at a time) sub fees, in total for everything, would 
be expensive!

This subscription model, adopted by _many_ providers now, misses that important 
point (of total amounts) entirely - they assume that their own charges are low 
enough for each user. 

It is why I am changing towards free software, for the most part, for 
everything I do. They are getting _way_ good enough for many things. 
Particularly when most commercial software now comes attached with bells and 
whistles which the vast majority of users do not use.
