Hi just to view this from another angle:
If I understand the way subscription works I can always upgrage to the latest version at no extra charge. But on the Adobe website is looks like there is an upgrade fee. Is that fee only for the perpetual version? IF i'm already subscribed I can just download the file to run 9 and there will be no bill wierdness where i'm charged for 2 subscriptions.
Is that right?
Yes, exactly. With Adobe subscriptions, all upgrades or downgrades are included and you can run any recent version - but the software requires an active subscription to run.
With Adobe standalone or perpetual licenses, the software is static and upgrades cost extra - but the software does not expire.
