About Illustrator

Illustrator is a tool for creating vector designs.

It is widely used for designing logos, icons, infographics, and illustrations, taking advantage of vector graphics that do not lose quality when scaled up or down.

About a Lifetime License for Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator is available for desktop (Mac, Windows), iPad, and web.

Under Adobe Creative Cloud, all plans, including all versions of Illustrator, are subscription-only.

A lifetime (perpetual) license or one-time purchase option does not exist.

Updates are included for free with your subscription, so you will always have access to the latest version of Illustrator.

The last lifetime license version was offered as the CS (Creative Suite) version until 2013. Since then, it has been the current subscription-only system.

It is unlikely that a lifetime license version of Illustrator will be offered in the future.

Illustrator Plans and Pricing

Next, we’ll break down the subscription plans currently offered.

There are three types of Adobe plans that include Illustrator.

Plan Pricing Notes
Illustrator US$22.99 per month
Creative Cloud Pro US$69.99 per month 4,000 credits/mo for Firefly premium features.
Creative Cloud Standard US$54.99 per month Illustrator on iPad is not included.

* Annual, billed monthly

Additionally, each of these plans also offers different payment methods, such as a monthly plan and a prepaid annual plan.

A 7-day free trial is available for all plans except for Creative Cloud Standard.

As the image illustrates, Adobe offers a full refund if you cancel within the first 14 days of your paid subscription.

By combining this 14-day grace period with the 7-day free trial, you can effectively use Illustrator for 21 days at no cost.

Special Offers On Adobe

You can find the special offers such as latest deals, promotions, and discounted plans on Adobe’s official website.

Conclusion

In this article, we’ve explained the details about a lifetime license for Illustrator and its current pricing plans.

We recommend the “Creative Cloud Standard” plan if you use two or more Adobe apps, and the “Creative Cloud Pro” plan if you use three or more.
