If said Photoshop had a nft licensing service, it could've stayed online for longer. Legit old versions of Adobe software that had one-time purchase licenses can't be activated anymore due to servers being brought down. And that's how they want it while pushing subscriptions for 10+ years.

    The exact same thing would have happened with an NFT licensing service. They would still link to obsolete servers. The problem is not a problem which NFT would solve, the problem is the problem of obsolete servers, which are very easy for adobe to fix without any useless NFT technology, if they really wanted to (but of course they don't)

    Trying to find any application for NFT, I came to the conclusion that it would work IF you and me could be the servers there, having a copy of blockchain and verifying validity of keys until we get bored and quit that. It would target one particular issue - cantralized validation on Adobe side. It'd be inefficient and all, but it may deny them some power over usage of their legitly purchased product.
