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.

    gog services

    That’s for their services. Any software you buy from them can be used forever after you download it. Even if GoG goes out of business.

    Edit: wording

        Show me where anything I download from them won’t work if they go out of business.

        It’s not my fault you don’t understand the difference between a service and a product.

          Burden of proof lies on the person claiming so. Yes, indeed you don’t understand that difference

            I have games I’ve downloaded from them and they can be played fully disconnected from the Internet.

            You’re the one claiming a downloaded executable is a service. Prove it.
