Lin, it has been a bazillion years since I've had to reinstall Adobe 
products so forgive me if my question is naive. I have a perpetual 
license to Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS5.5. Because they have "CS" 
in their names, I assume they are Creative Suite products. If Adobe 
retires its CS4-6 servers at some point and I need to install these 
programs on a new computer (assuming that the OS will support them), 
will I be able to activate them?

It just burns me when I purchase a perpetual license and along the 
way, the software company changes its licensing agreement. I just 
went through this with Intuit Quickbooks. I purchased a perpetual 
license in 2009 and now they tell me that the license was only good 
for 11 years and will expire this year. Huh?
