I bought the monthly subscription for LR and PS. How do I get the registration numbers for the software?

Thanks.

Provided upon download from Adobe, should have been automatic when you registered, when you quit paying they disable the software in your computer. You don't ever "OWN" it, you are just renting it for awhile.

After about two hours of screwing around, I got it all fixed.

Actually, you never own software. You merely license it, usually indefinitely. Adobe just changed their rules and went from forever to a month at a time.

Thanks for responding. Case closed.

And that is the reason I will never join their "cloud" club!

Jim D, if you think about it, you have been a member of their cloud club for a long time. Not just Adobe, but also Microsoft, Apple and many other software vendors. When did you last install software or upgrades from a disk?

The big difference now is that you pay monthly forever rather than only once. And they probably cut down on piracy.
