Even if you technically paid for all of them. (~15% /year definately covering any update (mostly very faint updates, particularly for SI) ) Being entirely arbitrary (& quite noticeably very self-serving) rules, preventing the use of previous versions (which can be pretty important) unless you basically commit forever, and/or preventing things like transferring the license which you "bought". Essentially making what should normally be yours, to never really be yours (with conditions and strings attached all over), like completely blurring the lines between 'leasing' & 'buying' While reserving (all) the rights to basically do anything with 'your' license, such as declaring it (or all licenses) as invalid, as they did (and just as soon immediately un-did) for SI. I don't think it's unique to AD (or Adobe), but fairness often seems to be proportional to how much market 'hold' is had Personally can't wait for competition.
