CS5.5 activation limit reached - The Adobe theft.

I have 2 computers, an old one and a new one. I’ve had CS 5 on the old computer for probably 10 years, and on the newer computer for about 5 years.

My newer computer had problems so I had to take it into the shop. In the meantime I used my old computer which I haven’t used for probably 3 years. I pulled up Photoshop to do something simple on my old computer and closed it.

A few days later I got my newer computer back, opened Photoshop and got the message about the activation limit reached. I’m allowed to have it on 2 computers so….why am I getting this message?? But I thought no big deal because I was going to sell my old computer anyways. So I did the deletion of the software with the deactivation button while online on the old computer, finished, and figured I was done. 

I go back to the new computer and….. I still get the same message. I called Adobe and they basically said “It’s a legacy product. We can’t activate it anymore because our servers are closed for that; we haven’t offered that for 13 years”.  Yeah, well….. that’s YOUR problem. I bought the software, you made it so it wouldn’t work. What’s so “legacy” about you making it not work? Why is it that you can’t activate it, but you have no problems DE-activating it, you stupid slobs? 

This amounts to nothing more than stealing. Abode basically says ““We don’t care. We want you to buy new stuff”. 

Sorry chumps, but I don’t buy from THIEVES. 

I did an AI search of steps to take to reactivate my software, but ….why do I have to go through all this time and effort, just because Adobe sabatoged the software? Shouldn’t they be paying for someone to ressurect this for me? 

Assuming Adobe is too poor to pay to have someone fix this for me, what steps do the rest of you have to ressurect the software? I’m not buying their new stuff.
