Buying Software...

    I've just returned to Ireland after almost a decade abroad. I'm trying to get on my feet, and need to get the usual apps to try to get started... but everyone is charging subscriptions now & its way beyond my means... Does anyone know where I can pick up slightly older, legitimate copies of software for a reasonable price?

    I need:
    Adobe Suite (CS6 or even earlier would be fine)
    AutoCAD (nearly any version would be fine)
    Office (looks like I can pick up a full license for about €90 on Amazon)

    ... I can't be paying over three hundred euro a month for software that I will use sporadically.

    Hi Bluefoam, welcome back!

    Is it the autocad that's making this expensive?
    The full creative cloud is only about two quid a day inc. vat

    Office, free alternatives available if you don't make your living from it.

    Just a gentle reminder that the OP has requested legitimate software. Please do not link to or discuss pirated software here.

    Welcome back!
