Why Not to Buy Adobe Software on e. Bay, Craigslist or Amazon MktUPDATE Adobe just stopped selling CS6 entirely heres why This means the CS products are no longer being made by the company, nor legitimately for sale through any channel in any country, from any vendor or reseller. Some folks think it might be a good idea to try to save a few bucks and buy Adobe software off of e. Bay, Craigslist, Amazon Marketplace, or from any vendor who is unfamiliar. It could be Creative Cloud, CS6, Photoshop, Lightroom, Acrobat, Elements, or any other title in a retail, student, full or upgrade version or sometimes its the OEM scam, or the plausible sounding extra volumeenterprise license swindle. But its actually not a very good idea at all. Why The first problem is that Adobe does not recognize these venues as valid or authorized resellers, they are fully disregarded and invalid. So as a result, Adobe will not officially recognize any of those buyers as actually owning their software.

Yes, you read that right. Meaning, you think you own the genuine article but effectively you dont. You cannot provide an accepted proof of purchase so you cant formally prove you own the products. You may not be able to transfer the software to someone else, nor be able to get product support or upgrade to the next version, etc  You also arent able to return the software to get your money back from Adobe like you normally can. Why doesnt Adobe recognize the people that go through those places Doesnt that seem unfair Cant these software vendors who youve never heard of be trustedNo, because in this area, reputation matters a lot. The simple reason is and the real problem is that 9. Bay is counterfeit Yes, its true. And its not a new problem. Adobe states, Purchasing from known and trusted sources is the best way to avoid risks. Avoid all online auction sites theyre rife with counterfeiters. The only safe way to purchase genuine software for download is through the Adobe Store. So you can be pretty sure that what someones getting on those auction and vendor sites is not legitimate, not able to be legally transferred, and possibly even quite unsafe. That last part is the real kicker. A great deal of the hacked and pirated Adobe software out there now is embedded with malware. These infections include viruses, worms, and trojans that can do significant harm to your computer, personal data, and privacy like quietly stealing your sensitive information such as logins, passwords, and credit card numbers. Or increasingly, install ransomware to hold your entire hard disk hostage with no fix available. Or put another way, you dramatically increase your risk of exposure to viruses, spyware, or adware that can destroy or, worse, publish to criminals valuable data. But unfortunately, many people dont learn about this until its too late. Often they do this unknowingly and are essentially paying someone to do it to them by buying the unauthorized software.

The risk seems obvious for older or usedsecondhand copies, right  But even advertised new in box NIB items in seemingly original packaging can easily be fake see what the FBI says about this here and its often very difficult to tell the difference from the outside of the packaging, or even from the inside. As Adobe says, it can come with sophisticated looking cases, manuals, and even registration cards. Youll only discover software is pirated when you try to register it and cant, often rendering the software unusable. Or worse. But even if the software within is authentic, its still breaking the law. Per the SIIA, As this prosecution demonstrates, it is both a crime to create counterfeit software and a crime to sell authentic software without authorization. So in any event, these buyers still face all the other issues above. And if anyone ever offers a download or serial number thats coming from anywhere else other than Adobe its definitely not genuine, or legal.
