Editing Adobe Subscription (section)

==Access to files==
With the exception of Lightroom Classic, which offers a limited mode that can no longer edit, but still export images after cancelling a subscription, the file formats of Creative Cloud apps are completely proprietary and can only be opened, edited and exported without restrictions from Adobe Creative Cloud applications. This means that cancelling the subscription also leads to the user losing all access to the files created with their applications until they re-subscribe.

Moreover, when Adobe cancels a product (which they regularly do), the corresponding applications can in some cases no longer be installed. In this case, the user no longer has any way to access or edit their files. A prominent example of this is Adobe Encore, a DVD authoring program. If a customer needs to re-visit an old DVD project and re-export it with a minor adjustment, they now need to re-create it from scratch in another software at their own cost.
