Before, when a "major" update hit, you had to shell out usually over 150 bucks for the update. With their photoshop only subscription, I get 2 computers, every update and it's not that expensive on a monthly or yearly basis for me. I was concerned when I just replaced my 5 year old laptop, but after installing, it said I had too many computers given my subscription, allowed me to "unlicense" one, which I did and everything was good to go.
