<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Nobody--including Adobe--can say with any certainty that perpetual licenses (as opposed to monthly or annual subscription licenses) will even exist in a couple of years. Do you think that anybody could have told you two years ago what the terms would be for a TCS subscription license today? If you know someone with a crystal ball that is that good, you should be asking them for stock tips and not fretting pointlessly about license policies that haven't yet been formulated.<br><br>-Fred Ridder<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 17:37:37 +1200<br>From: rebecca.officer@alliedtelesis.co.nz<br>To: framers@lists.frameusers.com<br>Subject: TCS subscription model: Illustrator version, and can you go back to buying TCS outright as an upgrade later?<br><br>
<div>Hi everyone</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm thinking about moving to the TCS subscription model (please don't all flame me at once).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does anyone know what'd happen if I wanted to change back to outright ownership in a couple of years? E.g. If I stayed on the subscription model until TCS6 was released, would I then be able to buy TCS6 outright, at the upgrade prices? Or would I be stuck with buying a full TCS6 licence? I'm not keen on breaking our upgrade chain.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, does anyone know if the TCS version of Illustrator stays in sync with the Creative Cloud version? Or could there be a delay while Adobe integrate a new version of Illustrator into the TCS?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
