One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say “revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller”

Yeah… untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy…

sold by adobe themselves

Contacted support, they said that they won’t do anything about it because it’s EOL.

Moral of the story: don’t do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.

    This is what drives people to piracy. Then they whine about how pirates cost them money.

    If the program is EOL why do they care if you use it or not? Like fuck thats really a nasty way on making you buy the new software. But you know what? If you are looking for a better version. Translate to Spanish Pirate Artist and you can find it there.
