Greetings friends!

I am currently working in Russia and using Adobe Creative Suite, but I got a notification from local official distributor SoftLine who I pay for subscription, that Adobe will turn off their products in Russia due to some renewed sanctions against Russia. Will I be able to use Adobe products still legally if my subscription will be paid by non-Russian card? Or regardless of payment origins all Adobe products will be blocked if they are under Russian IP? Thanks a lot! much love!

    sales are banned in russia, not usage.

    This is a public forum, not Adobe support… other users here can’t answer legal questions

     

    The Adobe employees who do answer questions here are support staff, not policy makers

     

    If the distributor says the programs will stop working I will **GUESS** that is the true information
