I just purchased this for my account and it extended it one year from the date I started my subscription. In other words, my subscription was up for renewal on 4/12/2017 and after adding this code emailed from BH, it now says it's renewed until 4/12/2018.

There's a trick question when renewing in the Adobe system, they ask if you want to automatically renew and will ask for a billing method.... Just skip that and it will continue with the renew code.
I genuinely don't understand why people are so opposed to this business model for a piece of high-end software. Photoshop is/was one of the most pirated software titles and its retail price and use case is well above what the average user needs. Retail on CS5 was $700 back in the day - that's the equivalent of almost 8 years worth of Cloud subscriptions.

In addition to all the capabilities of the software, does this also function as an off site safety back up for all our images?

I agree with you - I hate this model. However, this is about the cheapest I've seen it.

Is this for Photoshop and Lightroom only? No Illustrator?

I'm still on 10.6.6 and CS5 because of this crappy business model... but I guess I'm going to have to fall prey to it before long.

This is a great deal. Just extended my sub out to 5/2019. Honestly not a big fan of the subscription model either, but the cloud syncing has solved a huge pain point of mine - shooting mostly with a phone camera but some amateur stuff with a mirrorless. With the cloud edits, I have all my pictures with up to date edits in the same spot. That alone is worth $7-10 a month for me.

If one only wants lightroom, price was frequently <$100, sometimes half that. Now we're stuck with subscriptions.

Wrong or not, I think one of the reasons Photoshop grew so much was because it was a decent application AND easily pirated. Teens and young adults spent all their time learning the application, which later provides commercial license sales. For Photoshop though - newer versions still don't do anything more than I need from my 10 year old copy, and much of the time I just jump into Paint.NET for basic editing.

I use lightroom a few times a year to only process raw images from my rarely-used camera, and would prefer to pay maybe $30/year for updates. My Lightroom 5 software has tint issues with raw images from my newer phone, and I assume some upgrade would fix it, but I don't want to pay $10/mo forever to process 100 photos/year. This commercially-acceptable licensing method isn't compatible with what I find acceptable for private use. On the software-creation side of things, I understand the reasoning for this licensing model. I may have to start looking into alternatives soon, when an upgrade becomes much more needed.

Edit:
A search online suggests that this licensing model isn't curbing piracy. Seems it only pulls more money out of businesses by keeping them on the latest software, rather than allowing software purchases to lapse a few years between upgrades.
