You do have a choice of the perpetual license ( Acrobat 2020) or a subscription ( Acrobat Pro DC or Acrobat Standard DC). The software is also supported as long as you have a current subscription with new features and fixes. There are some major advantages to this for our many of our customers including the fact that the software continues to be updated to acccommodate new operating system versions (especially under MacOS), new hardware (like those very high resolution and large monitors), interoperability with other software (such as Microsoft Office). There is nothing “evil” or “disgusting” about a subscription model. Such software does not provide free upgrades to accommodate issues that occur due to Microsoft or Apple making incompatible changes to the operating system or adding options for incompatible hardware after the application version is no longer current. Please understand that the “perpetual licenses” allow you to use the software on the computer platform (including operating system version and hardware) that was available at the time you purchase the perpetual license. To be very clear, you purchase a license to use the software you are not purchasing ownership of the software. That will take you to the appropriate screen for purchasing a license. and then click on the either the box that reads Acrobat Pro 2020 or the box that reads Acrobat Standard 2020 (Windows only for Standard). Are still able to buy a perpetual license to Acrobat 2020.
