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.
I can easily imagine it. I’ve still got boxes full of software on floppy disks and CD-ROMs that I “perpetually licensed” (a.k.a. bought), so don’t try to bullshit me that it isn’t possible!
Because it’s a product ( CD ROM ) not service ( gog or steam ) so don’t bulshit me
The same software purchased digitally doesn’t magically become a “service”. Coincidentally, you can absolutely download and backup all your GOG games and then “own” them the same way you own your old CD ROMs.

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 then the eula
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
