This is a crazy idea, altering software that we use for business without asking or an option to op out of trials. Even worse when the so called helpline is a farce.
The worst of it was that I had no warning, idea, or explanation, as to why I could not open my licensed copy of Photoshop CS6 that I have been using for over 3 years, (only getting a Trial Dialogue Box with no opt out), not sure how to proceed, and no directions on what would happen as far as additional fees if I did choose to license the trial, how long the trial was for, to continue with the trial, or if I would ever see my copy of CS6 again! To compound the issue ever further the Dialogue box that was opening was an ad for $29.95 to upgrade to the "Cloud", that said nothing about Photoshop.
It was like the old opening lines from the vintage Outer Limits TV show..."There is nothing wrong with your TV, Do not try to adjust your TV, we have taken control of the transmission...
I find it amazing that Adobe has the power to essentially hack my computer.
It is also fascinating to me that earlier in the day, I was notified by Norton Security Suite, that a malware intrusion was detected on my Internet connection, IE11 was closed down for protection, and I would need to re set my Home Page, since they could not do that for me .
Coincidence... I think not!
oh yes and the "Help Lines". don't even get me started on that subject!!!!.....
