In the nearly daily Flash Update I received an offer for a "Free Beta Photoshop Lightroom" and for once took Adobe up on one of their offers. I figured even though it was a Beta it would be nice to have a free program to go along with my paid version of CS Master Collection. I installed the flash update and recieved no notification that Lightroom had been installed. First bad sign. I checked my applications and yes, it was there, great. I clicked on it and it then asked me to decide to enter my license number or to choose the 30 day free trial.
Free Trial?
The offer was not for a free trial. It was for a Free Beta version with no mentinon of a trial period. Is Adobe familar with the false advertising laws in America? I am saddened with the direction that Adobe seems to have taken with their advertising and promotional inaccuracies. Had I known this was a free trial I would not have accepted the download. Considering it was advertised as free I want my free light room.
I dont think it is wise for Adobe to be making their long time customers unhappy. Is adobe going to stand behind their advertisement in the updates?
I was told by the chat help that they do not know anything about this as well. How can adobe not know what ads they have with their flash player updates?
I am getting very dissappointed with the games Adobe is playing.
I have to add, that Mohammed in the chat window was very good and patient. Adobe, your slipping and I for one do not like it.
