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
My family member had the last version you could buy and its not supported anymore so you can’t really even install or run it. I think it was Photoshop CS2?
Affinity Photo Best Photo Editing Software | Affinity Photo is what I bought to try to replace photoshop but it doesn’t really, or a lot to relearn, and I’m so used to Pshop. I’m stuck with the subscription.
Photoshop CS6 was the last perpetual version. (I bought it back then) Haven’t installed it in years though, or any Photoshop license for that matter.
