I’m still concerned about the loss of my original work especially for new subscribers to CC who have never owned a perpetual license and who will not even have the CS6 export route. This becomes less and less backward compatible as new CC features are added over time.
This may be legal in the US, but probably constitutes unreasonable contract terms in the EU. Not much enlightenment was given by Mala Sharma, who is VP of professional business in Adobe’s digital media business unit; speaking on the 4th of June in an interview at Adobe’s Creative Days event in London.

“Another question that matters to a lot of users is what happens if they cancel their Creative Cloud subscriptions.”
“The community is telling us is that what we have in place today – where you can export from your CC apps to CS6 – is not an acceptable solution,” admits Sharma. “There are other ideas and expectations that customers have that we are actively discussing internally – but, more importantly, with our advisers and customers.”
Should I take the gamble?
