All Adobe software products require a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud. There are two types of subscriptions available...personal subscriptions and device subscriptions.

A device subscription is tied to an individual computer (with me as the contact person for all such subscriptions), and can only be installed on that single computer. Individual applications cannot be purchased with a device subscription...only the "Creative Cloud All Apps" option (which would be the replacement for Adobe Design Studio, which included Photoshop/Illustrator/Acrobat Pro).

As of March 2023 perpetual-license version of Acrobat Pro is no longer an option.
