I remember YEARS ago I tried to buy and download some fonts from Adobe. To
do that, I first had to download some sort of 'Adobe Downloader' software to
then download the fonts.

Of course, this didn't work and we must have had a dozen exchanged with
Adobe support on the phone and email. They finally just emailed me the fonts
and gave me a refund.

While 'spying' isn't out of the question, i wouldn't doubt that it's just
really bad and bloated software design. The bigger the software company, the
more absurd their software logic seems to be.

Or in other words, it's a way of spying on those "different apps" across
our networks? Most likely to check validity of ownership?

So when are they going to require a blood sample/DNA check in order to
validate software? ;) It seems, these days, that everyone complains
about big government but "Big Business" tends to enter our lives more
often. I digress.

And why is this useful?

It's used by the CS Suite to ensure that different apps within that suite
can communicate with each other across a net.
