Based on my other question here I started googling the price of Adobe Illustrator and it looks like they only let you subscribe to a monthly payment. I couldn't find a direct way to buy AI and permanently own a license. Do you have any idea about this?

Until recently it was possible to buy the Adobe CS6 pack permanently as a one-time payment. But that is no longer an option and Adobe CC software is currently only available via subscriptions. Yeah, like going to the gym :)
There is a free 7-day trial where you download, install and use the software for 7 days and then it becomes locked until a payment is made.
There is an yearly plan where you pay 12 months in advance.
There is also a monthly plan where you can use the software for 1, 2, 3, etc as many months as you need (until you cancel the plan or it expires). When your plan expires or it gets cancelled, the software remains installed, but you won't be able to use it until you renew your payment. You can go for the monthly plan, make 1 payment, then cancel the plan so it does not renew after 1 month (otherwise it will automatically renew).
At any point in the future you can make another 1-month payment and reactivate the software for another 30 days.
About 4 years ago Adobe closed the support for Creative Suite 2 including Illustrator CS2. That product was in wide use because it had and still has enough functionality for detailed professional graphic work. People couldn't run their CS2 because the software couldn't check from the activation server was it paid. Adobe published as a band-aid the last CS2 versions in their support&download pages modified to work without internet connection to the activation server. The working serial numbers were also available.
Obviously a massive downloading started and very soon Adobe moved all behind sign-in. That affects to me nothing because I am a paying customer. They ask nothing. But they know who I am because I can see my name in the upper corner of the browser.

You can check do they give anything to you. If they do, be sure that the software is unreliable in today's operating systems. I have seen that CS2 runs ok at least in Win7.

Want to learn how to use Illustrator but don’t want to subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud? Or need to access its features on the go while using someone else’s computer? With Gravit you get a lot of the key features offered in expensive standards like Illustrator or Fireworks.
Best of all, Gravit is completely free. You just have to sign up for an account to use it. Gravit includes basic vector tools: a pen tool, line tool, and a Bezigon tool, as well as shapes including a rectangle, ellipse, triangle, polygon, and star.

Beyond creating shapes, Gravit also has tools similar to Illustrator’s pathfinder and alignment tools, as well as layers, and you can add text and images to your design.
When creating a new document, you can choose the size (including handy presets like Facebook and Twitter covers, standard print sizes, and more) or you can select from some pre-existing templates. These templates, together with Gravit’s showcase, give a great idea of how much you can get out of this web app.
Once you’re done creating your image, you can export it to your computer as JPG, PNG, or SVG. You can also save it online in your Gravit account with the layers in tact and come back to it at a later time.

Hi There & thanks for this article very helpful! I was in a rush to find a good alternative to Illustrator as I needed to draw few logos and I have to say that, after few trials on Vectr and Youidraw, some tears of joy nearly came up when I read this article and once I tried Gravit! This is an excellent free alternative to Illustrator using the same commands so easy to very quickly handy, used online without any bug, very friendly environment and I can't believe this is bloody free - so it's not even a 30 days trial! Of course, depending on which version you use of Illustrator, Gravit will provide the essentials - but professional essentials for free are hard to find - so for me this is amazing! Thanks for sharing this article Nancy, and thanks Gravit for your great work on this! Cheers, Ced
People are getting frustrated since adobe started to rent out their product, but there are no possible replacement yet. I don't mind paying for a great product with a reasonable price.
Give Inkscape a try. Many research and reviews say it is an alternative to Illustrator (these research and reviews are done by professionals who switched from Illustrator to Inkscape.) I also find it great.
I have not tried it yet but will soon thanks for the tip though Ill be back with a review!

This article is incredibly misleading and shows an incredible lack of knowledge. If you want to learn to use Illustrator for free, how about using the free version of Illustrator that Adobe gives out? You can download any of the Adobe CS2 products for free. They have been free for years. You will not learn how to use Illustrator by using a free alternative, that notion is preposterous and incredibly misleading. That's like saying learn to use Photoshop or Illustrator with Corel Draw. Doesn't work.
They don't exactly give that out. The serials were released by mistake and by the point Adobe found out it was already all over the web.
Granted it asks, but it's more than obvious selling the point of 'Free'. Though some of the key features this is offering, very similar to Adobe's, it is selling an alternative without having to subscribe. Nothing misleading about this article. Key Point in this article is 'Free Alternative'. Not Adobe Illustrator guide.

To say that Gravit is an 'alternative' to Illustrator, is like saying that a skateboard is an alternative to a car.
If you used AI for any length of time, you probably know that it has features and toolsets that were developed for nearly over three decades (first release being in 1988)! You can't simply say that a browser based app that can draw a few boxes and ellipses is an 'alternative' to such a robust program.
You might say that Gravit is an alternative to Method Draw (http://editor.method.ac) or Janvas (http://www.janvas.com/site/home_en.php) - which are both browser based vector tools, but they are not even the same league as Adobe Illustrator just because they have a Pen Tool.
For anyone asking, Gravit supports EPS and SVG import along with standard image formats. We are working on adding PDF export to our already existing SVG, PNG and JPG export.
Can Gravit open all files created with Illustrator and vice versa?
The problem with Gravit vs. Illustrator is the same as GIMP vs. Photoshop. The free products may suffice for the casual user but the pros need Adobe products.
Inkscape is great, and I use it all the time, but as a technology instructor for an elementary school that is equipped with Chromebooks, this is a very welcome app. Inkscape cannot be used on Chromebooks due to the fact that it needs to be installed on a local hard drive. Previously, Vector Paint was the only option I could find. Will be trying this one out today!
I just tried inkscape and it SUCKS! Click on a tool in the toolbox and nothing happens. I got stuck in the node tool and no matter how many times I clicked on the select arrow tool, nothing happened, I was still in the node tool. only reason I got into node tool was I used F2--clicking on it did NOTHING. After a few hours of going thru the tutorials only to have option boxes ignore being clicked on to change everything from stroke width to whatever, I gave up and uninstalled it. what an enormous piece of crap and I used Illustrator for years before it became a rent instead of buy cash cow. 50 a month to RENT it?!?!? puh-leez. still trying to find a decent replacement and inkscape is not it.
If you are on a Mac, you could give Affinity Designer a try. 40 €, no rent, many features and professionally developed.
Or PC now :-)
Affinity is also on PC now :-)
I already use Inkscape, but this does sound like a great entry level way into illustrator. I will give it a shot to try it. Thanks Nancy
For those interested, also check out Inkscape. Very capable piece of cross platform software.
