Following recent discussions on this, I just found one advantage of using the subscription model for both Adobe and Microsoft. I had a frustrating experience with my desktop (W10 pro, 64-bit, i5 CPU) running very slowly, like 2 minutes to open any Office 365 program, multiple seconds to respond to a keystroke, and finally a message that Windows itself could not operate. I tried all the usual fixes, cleaning, defragging etc., none of which made any difference. So, in the end I decide to reset Windows, which I knew was going to mean re-installing my apps: however, with both Adobe and Microsoft, all I needed to do was to log in to my account and magically the latest versions were available to be installed! Other apps I either had the original DVD's or had the setup files from the original downloads, so the whole process to get back to a working PC took only one day in all, and it's also meant a significant clear out of software I only used very occasionally. It's just like having a new computer!
