It just would not update? Or would it at some time disable itself so you could no longer use it? That is my fear. what if a few years down the road it gets too expensive for me, so I decide I can no longer afford it, not being a professional. Would I be able to still use what I have? Have I paid for it or just rented it and it will be repossessed? so far CS6 does everything I want and of course my LR is mine, all mine.
