What happens to your Lightroom library after you stop subscribing to Adobe CC?

So I have been wondering about this.  Will Lightroom keep working with no updates, or will Lightroom just disappear along with all your photos/libraries?

I might be completely wrong, but I do believe it just have access to develop and library.  I believe I have read that somewhere.

Technically speaking your lightroom may stop working because Adobe apps call home. Though your library settings and your files will remain on your computer.

I'm sure you would still have access to the files.  Adobe most likely just limits the features of your copy of LR.

 I have a working license again now: I did not get any during the time I had no subscription, but that could be just because Adobe didn't released any update during that period.
