Not knowing why you want the perpetual rather than a subscription I can only suggest that you devote your attention towards bridging whatever gap impairs your ability to utilize a subscription. (I am speaking as someone who has owned and upgraded perpetual licenses of Harmony since TB Animate Pro was discontinued). Internet access aside, it can be viewed as a bargain and miracle that you have access to Premium in the form of a subscription without the large outlay of money even though you do not own the license. Maybe you have an inheritance coming to you soon and need something to tie you over.? A student discount would not come at a price making that a sound investment but that is subjective. It is simply an outlay of money that cannot be used as a springboard (financially) to a future version. You will eventually have to fork out the price of a full version license or a subscription and you cannot sell the student license if TB allows the sale of any of their licenses. If this is the case with TB it means it will eventually be useless. However, every student discounted version of software I purchased in my life could not be upgraded. But do realize that, once you stop paying the rent, you will lose access to your source animation files, which can only be opened and edited in Animate CC.My guess is that you want a perpetual license because you need to work offline. If you have your heart set on Animate CC, your only option is to rent the software. Moho® Pro 12 – 2D Animation Software for Professionals Moho (excellent for cut-out 2d animation) Toonboom Harmony (one of the industry standards): TVPaint (arguably the best traditional bitmap 2d drawing animation package) OpenToonz (professional level 2d animation software, open source and free!): But even then you might run into activation problems.Īlternatively, look into professional 2d animation software alternatives of which a perpetual license can be purchased or are open source and free. Ideally you want an unopened box with an unused serial. You might be able to purchase an older version of CS6 or earlier on eBay, but I would advice against it: too many frauds and illegal versions are being sold on eBay. As John Smith already mentioned: no, not possible to get a perpetual license anymore.
