Starting on call, and I started Reading "1984" by George Orwell last night. Interesting little book.Here's to the weekend cheers
Little known fact: Orwell had a time machine, and he has shared it with people like Matt Groening and Mike Judge. They have used their knowledge of future events to subtly try and warn everyone... Hope you have been paying attention.
Simpson Creators? why am I not surprised ? LOL

That's because you have been.

so a program a client uses is moving to the cloud. I had a read of the information available and see that the client software will need to remain on client PCs.
Is that common amongst cloud based programs????

No. But is is common among piss poor shops that think cloud is magic.
I expect this software to die horribly.

The problem here is that "cloud programs" is not a thing. There's no concept of that. You have a service being hosted on a cloud, perhaps. In which case your question is "is client/server software still a thing"? And the answer is, yes, it's been ridiculous since the 1990s but companies that aren't discerning about what they install have been failing to filter out that garbage for forever and modern scalable hosting has had no impact on that.
TL;DR Yes

Thanks for the replies. Would I be correct if I said that that program is not truely a cloud based program due to it relying on that client software needing to be installed?

"Cloud based" really means so little here. Are you using cloud to mean "hosted"? Are you defining the entire program as both parts, or only the server portion?
Cloud based is kind of a gibberish phrase, it truly doesn't mean anything. Even web based programs just use the browser as the client and load the code dynamically. The fact that it is more easily automated and that the client is included as a de facto standard doesn't change what it is, an app platform.
So by normal logic, we consider something to be hosted (remove "cloud based" from your vocabulary, it will never do you any good as it means literally nothing when said that way) when the server portion of the application is hosted, we never care about the client side as logically, something always has to be local for us to see it.
This is just an antiquated ridiculous 1990s and old "client/server" app that is hosted. That's all. There's nothing cloud about what you are discussing at all, but the server side is hosted.
