Unexpected problems with creative cloud

I have MasterCollection CS6 (see this as MC6) installed on my computer and was considering to be creative cloud (see this as CC).    The problem is that if I get a CC subscription now, and then a year or two years from now decide I can't but he and must stop.

According to my chat with support line - in this case, all the applications that I installed CC will stop working.  That in itself is not good because if I developed things for clients with CC, then I'm not able to serve these customers.   So I would need to be very careful not to develop anything for a client who could only be maintained by using components in CC.   Very well, but that doesn't make much less valuable CC?  If this is the true state of things, I hope that Adobe allows you to keep the applications you use regularly after a subscription mistakes; Adobe might have a limit on how much you can keep tools, but not allowing a subscriber to keep everything seems stupid.  Yes?

This makes me reluctant to subscribe to the CC, but my next concern is even worse and I don't have an answer at this time.

My second concern is that CC interruption might cause MC6 to stop working and I need to reinstall if I disconued my subscription of the CC.  It is a kind of nightmare scenario, because I install configurations for my tools over long periods of time, and all of a sudden having to re-install everything would be a problem.

The online chat couldn't give me a full answer to my second area of concern.

If I were to add functionality to my Photoshop MC6 using CC, CC would recognize that I already had a license and not take ownership?  Forge, I lose these extra features if I interrupt CC, or my entire Photoshop application would cease to work even if I have the license?   Because even though I was very careful never to use CC for adding features to Photoshop, certainly more than a year this would happen by mistake very easily through automation.

I really think that Adobe needs to rethink its policy in these areas.   Creative cloud looks great, until you start to look at the details.  Then, this looks like a very bad deal and seems to cause enormous technical problems.

You're too thinking that it. Sorry to say, but what would be the point of the use of any software on this planet that uses formats owners if you're afraid that one day you no longer have access to the tools to be able to modify or create? Yes, even a simple Word file is a proprietary format and will be different in OpenOffice or something else. It's the natural order of things, and if your tools are becoming unusable for technical reasons, because they simply does not work on a current version of Windows in 2030 or they will switch off for licensing reasons is secondary. The only reasonable support is that the newer versions of the same programs will always be able to open files at the back of a single version. It's as good as it gets and you won't find any software provider leaning out the window and saying more than that. Keep your software up-to-date and compatible versions is yours and your clients responsibility. The rest isn't even the question - of course, chances are that you will need to install a different version then current product from Adobe, if you interrupt your CCM, but otherwise, nobody is forcing you to make updates / upgrade during his execution, at least not until the next larger and the latter version is out the door for at least six months. Of course there may be some resons that adobe will finally cease support of previous versions and require you to move to CS7 or whatever. However, how who would be otherwise than with autonomous versions? If Adobe won't give you an activation, it is just as useless. And just to get this straight: you do not have the software, not with CCM, not with a boxed version. You are allowed to use it in the licnes, but that's all. If it is somehow comparable to the possession of soemthing, is a matter of legal debate...
