Last week I was having some problems with my computer (crashes), buddy thinks it's the hard drive. So I will say that at least in my experience, the upgrade process works. Everything has been working fine for a year and I use multiple apps (Ps, Ai, Id, Fl, Dw) several times a day. I read through this thread this time last year and decided to take advantage of the free windows 10 upgrade offer, hoping that my CS5 apps would carry over through the upgrade and they did. So I think it is still relevant because it's the top hit for this issue. Really a shame ! I hope they will come up with physical versions again which can be bought or upgraded without being stuck with the monthly fees.Įvery time I search this issue I land on this thread and check to see if anyone has said anything new. If one day my CS5 isn't compatible anymore, it will stop for me.which I will regret.It's not because I'm not a pro that I don't like working with their software.Īdobe counts on professionals and companies but excludes this way a lot of people.


I hoped with my bought CS5 version to continue many many years without investing again a lot of money. I make things for my friends, family and all for free.There's one guy who asks a flyer or a folder each year which I charge.Maybe I earn 300 euro per year with that.If I have to pay 60 euro per month for the CC version, It will cost me a lot more and I can't afford that. I've bought Creative Suite 5 a few years ago because I like working with Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign (Dreamweaver and Fireworks sometimes). Not everybody using their software has a company or enough money to pay this. I still didn't upgrade to Windows 10 as for the reactions above and therefore my doubt and fear that my Adobe CS5 won't work.However, the last comment gives me hope.Īt a side note : I find it 'not done' from Adobe that they oblige people who consider this update to Windows 10 to subscribe to the CC version online.
