You can use or not use any early version or the latest of Lightroom for which you have a perpetual licence for as long as you want under the licence conditions that have applied from the very first. There is no obligation to move to the subscription model for Lightroom. If you use both Lightroom and Photoshop in working with your images then you can get that bundle if you want. Basically a 12 month commitment to start. For me, that deal is excellent value. So much so that I don't even use the couple of perpetual licence models I have of both Lightroom and Photoshop. I really like the integration and the immediate availability of the new features Obviously how much you use the programs will influence their value to you. Or if you consider Adobe (and Microsoft I suppose) as devils incarnate determined to feast on your soul!
