I would suggest you try out a legal version of some software as what you bought is illegal pirated software.
Also you do not know if what you bought has malware inside to steal your banking information.
Even assuming it has no nasties, it is possible that the first time it attempts to talk to Adobe that it will send data to their system that rings bells, says pirate pirate pirate and crashes the software off.

Sometimes when things seem too good to be true it's because that's really the case. If it's not an original copy and/or you're not the registered owner, I was under the impression that some software wouldn't work maybe, I'm wrong. Thought you needed an internet connection and a "key code" to activate the software. Five dollars is pretty cheap for Abode Photoshop CS5 extended. I don't know much about the others.

Seems to me that you might have pirate ware. This is a photo forum many view their selves as artist. I am sure that their work has been used with out authorization. Its a simple matter really. Mama always said to ask. If you can register the soft ware then used it.

Good luck in any event.

Sorry, I don't think you'll find too many on this forum laughing with you at your illegal find and whimsical attitude about piracy of software.

Just why would you want to admit the cracks etc. Adobe might just be monitoring this blog and now you may be toast. :cry:

Just curious. Would you buy camera gear that you were fully aware was stolen, even though you could take pictures with it?
I figured as much. Theft is theft and it will cost us all in the long run.
Maybe you can find a good deal on a conscience somewhere.

OK, if you like to work with stolen software and brand yourself as a thief or as the possessor of stolen items, feel free, but please don't come here and ask for help. Go back to the thieves you bought the stuff from.
I'm not even sorry I am this harsh....

Look, if you want to "try out" any of Adobe's software it is available for a free download and 30 day free trial through their website. You do not have to buy pirated copies from illegal street vendors and support the black market trade and likely drug cartels at the same time. This is innappropriate behavior and your attitude is typical of those supporting illegal acts worldwide. I suggest you take your attitude, language and childish behavior somewhere that it is more accepted. Like a schoolyard, thats where it belongs, not here.
