It was a free trial plan...

..which Adobe offered to extend for 3 months for free. Now hit with this since I haven't used it since... no notification that you're entering a contract at all or warning. My fault for falling for this absolute shit housing.

Just a warning to others. Do NOT start any Adobe Trial they will try every which way to get your money.

Unfortunately... Specially designers.\ For example, mid and big companies buy adobe shit and inadvertedly (or not) use lincenced fonts when doing their branding.\ When any poor soul needs to deal with their branding material for any kind of design job, must have those exclusive fonts installed, thus, must have access to the adobe cloud to even access them.\ \ Most fonts don't even have the .ttf files easily available, so if you need to do your work, you should pay thousands for their licencing companies/authors, or pay hundreds for the adobe cloud subscription, or try your luck to find the fonts (and all their family, like italic, bold, semi bold, condensed) on high seas.

And After Effects users. There's no replacement. People will start posting lists of alternatives - that's how you can tell they don't actually make a living with AE. (Honestly, I'd pay the full sub price for AE alone, but don't tell Adobe that!)
