Perpetual Photoshop legit?

Hi all. I am looking for a 3rd party site that sells legit Photoshop one-time buy license. I thought i found one on Licendi, but a week later I get an Adobe alert saying its Ingenuine. I feel like Im going to be in this endless cycle.
Has anyone else had any luck on a legal 3rd party perpetual licence purchase?

I saw something on mashable. Anyone ever use that site?
Or is this one legit?

There’s no way to get a perpetual license for Adobe products. Even if someone bought one in early 2000s, they usually get forced to switch to a subscription. If you see any website claiming they can sell you one - it’s always a scam. If you’re a student you can get a discounted license on a 3rd party website, but that would only last for max 1 year.

You have to either use something free like Photopea or Krita, or if you want a more polished piece of software - get a perpetual license for Affinity Designer. The only way to get Photoshop legally is by getting a subscription.

I think like the only exception is Substance on Steam
