Adobe Cuts Perpetual License for Elements from Lifetime down to just three years (petapixel.com)

Among the most significant changes with this year’s Elements releases has little to do with new features but instead concerns the ways users purchase and own the software. While prior versions of Photoshop and Premiere Elements have been lifetime licenses — the user buys the software and then owns it indefinitely — this year’s release has moved to a three-year license term.

Isn't Plex FOSS and you only need to pay for the extras? You don't need PlexPass.

I did buy the lifetime almost 15 years ago. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

Plex is not FOSS. But I am with you. I bought Plex pass about 10 years ago and still use it daily

It looks like the media player is open source, but the media server is not.

I also bought the lifetime license a while ago, and am also happy with that purchase.

Ah, I guess that shows my ignorance. Thanks.

Good to know! Everyone says so many good things about it, I might just buy it myself
