End-users
Risks of purchasing illegitimate software

  • You dramatically increase the risk of viruses and spyware

  • Adobe support may not be available to you when you need it most

  • You may not be able to upgrade/cross-grade your products

  • You won’t be able to transfer your products to another organisation

  • Your business reputation could be severely damaged (Business Software Alliance are much more vocal when piracy is discovered in organisations, and publish names on their website)

  • You may run the risk of legal action (infringement of Adobe’s licensing agreement can be damaging and expensive)
Always remember:
  • Downloads of Adobe software are ONLY available via the Adobe.com store

  • If the price seems too good to be true, beware!
