What is an outright purchase for Adobe Acrobat

You will find a chat exchange that I had with a sales advisor at Adobe® Acrobat® regarding the ability to purchase a lifetime / non-subscription license for Adobe Acrobat DC.

Even though it is rather hidden, it is still possible to make an “outright purchase”.

From chatting with the sales advisor, it is not clear what is included in free updates and how versioning / end-of-life will work for non-subscription purchases….

From the purchase page, it seems that there is still a yearly version number and considering a software life cycle, I am pretty sure that there will be an end-of-life based on this version at some point in the future.

Chat with a Sales Advisor
Can I buy a lifetime license for Adobe Acrobat DC?
It’s nice to have you on chat. How may I assist you with purchase today?
But with the subscription plan, you will get upgrades to any new features or new version as soon as available without additional cost.
Let me provide you with a direct link to place the order
I’ll standby to hear the order number and the order total since it helps me to verify the order and confirm that the order has gone through successfully.
Let me help if you face any issue while placing an order .
Since we are from online sales team, we do not have information on this.
What is the version number on the Adobe Acrobat DC for outright purchase?
Adobe always add new features to enhance the software.
If you will purchase subscription plan, you will get free updates and upgrades for free(no additional cost) on subscription as long as the subscription is active.
With outright purchase, you will get only free updates.
We do not have information on future version but Adobe is always working to release new features to make software for more user friendly.
For ever or will version 2017 be end of life at some point?
We haven’t heard from you for a while, would you like to continue with this chat?
I understand I can continue using it. But will it be end of life at some point where Adobe stops support and security upgrades on a given version (for instance 2017).
I am not purchasing immediately. Thank you for your help.

Here is a screenshot of the purchase page on Adobe’s website:

Applies to: Azure Information Protection

Relevant for: AIP unified labeling client and classic client

Note

To provide a unified and streamlined customer experience, Azure Information Protection classic client and Label Management in the Azure Portal are being deprecated as of March 31, 2021. This time-frame allows all current Azure Information Protection customers to transition to our unified labeling solution using the Microsoft Information Protection Unified Labeling platform. Learn more in the official deprecation notice.

This article describes the protected PDF readers that are supported for Azure Information Protection (AIP). Protected PDF readers enable users to open those encrypted PDFs and view the sensitive information contained.

Encrypting your PDFs with AIP ensures that unauthorized people cannot read the file's content. Protected PDF readers that support AIP verify that you've been granted permissions to open the document, and also decrypt the content for you.

For example, the following image shows an encrypted document open in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The bar at the top indicates that the document is protected by a Microsoft Information Protection solution.

For instructions, see the following sections:

Tip

If your document doesn't open after installing a recommended reader, the document may be protected in an older format.

In this case, try one of the readers listed as supported for previous formats. For more information, see Support for previous formats.

ISO standards for PDF encryption

Download Adobe Acrobat For Mac Catalina

The PDF readers referenced on this page can all open protected documents that adhere to the ISO standard for PDF encryption.

This standard is used by default by the AIP client.

Note

Classic client only: If you have the AIP classic client, this may have been disabled by an administrator.
