 But all Adobe’s stuff is rentware now. Stop paying and you lose control of
your own work.

And Autocad, Solidworks, M$ Office 365, QuickBooks Desktop,
and several others too.  I personally despise rentware.
Autocad and Solidworks are now so expensive to rent
that it puts small businesses out of business or on to
other products.
These customers have older revisions.  And often times
they are on the latest OS and are pissed that their
old stuff stopped working properly.
Best solution is to run an older OS in a virtual machine
with their old software loaded on it.  I do this with
Fedora 39 so I can run Wine 9.1 to get around all the
accursed bugs Wine has added to their current versions.
