   The major software companies seem to want to make everyone to switch to   
   subscription based services rather than buying the software.  You have   
   to hunt around the Microsoft website to find how to actually buy the   
   software.   
      
   I don't upgrade Acrobat often but I saw a message that seems to suggest   
   that is now just a subscription based product.
