heavily discounted “full access” to Adobe Creative Cloud

Hi, I’ve been seeing a number of sites and sellers online offering heavily discounted “full access” to Adobe Creative Cloud (often under names like Adobe_King / Design.King / Design_King / Real_Design_King).

From what I understand, these appear to be based on shared or third-party team/enterprise licenses, where users are invited into someone else’s plan rather than having their own individual subscription.

I’m trying to better understand how this works from Adobe’s perspective:

  • Is this type of resale or shared access allowed under Adobe’s terms?
  • Are these considered legitimate subscriptions for end users?
  • Can Adobe revoke or cancel access to these accounts at any time?
  • Why would a user pay a third party for access instead of subscribing directly through Adobe?
  • Are there any risks around account security, data access, or long-term availability?
  • If these setups aren’t permitted, how are they able to operate for extended periods without being taken down?

It would be helpful to understand whether these setups are compliant, and what Adobe’s official stance is on them.

    Buyer beware of scammers & crooks who will say anything to separate you from your money. 

    When something’s too good to be true, it’s not worth having. Run away…

    This is a public forum with mostly other users
    This is where you report Fraud-Piracy-Phish https://helpx.adobe.com/security/alertus.html

    Do be aware that there is very little Adobe can do about someone in another country
