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 really sucks. As a fellow cs2 user, i switched to krita some years back, perhaps its good enough for your work.

      I don’t support piracy of Adobe, because you’re still using their ecosystem and still supporting it by propagating its use. Just stop using their trash, seriously.

          he’s piggybacking off your top comment to make his own thoughts more visible. it’s what we in the business call a “pro strat” 😎

          It’s on sale right now and has a 180-day free trial even if you tried it before.
