How to return the money earned through Cracked version of Adobe Software

[Fatimah.262626262]

I want to pay back the money I earned through a cracked version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. In the past 3 years, I used it 7-8 times and earned money. Recently, I got to know that it's totally prohibited and I would be answerable to God for the money I earned through it. 

First, I want to appologize for downloading a cracked software through a website named getintopc.com. I will never use Adobe's cracked software for my earnings, ever again. 

Secondly, I owe some money to Adobe, how do it return it.  And if it's not possible, tell me should I use it up?   Or give it to someone else?   As an owner of the money, Adobe company is the one to tell what to do with that money. 

Please help, as I'm so much worried about it. What if I die without returning it?

• Thank you for replying. I searched in the forum list, but couldn't find help.  I just want an answer from an Adobe representative, about what to do with that money?   I'm extremely uncomfortable in keeping that money, unless I get an answer from Adobe company, if they accept my apology.

report the site/vendor where the software was downloaded.

[Fatimah.262626262]

Yes, I have told Adobe about the website from where I downloaded the cracked software. 

It's not one, but hundreds of them. 

Do I have any hope regarding the acceptance of my apology?

re: your apology acceptance.

like all financial crimes, returning the money doesn't negate the crime.

[Fatimah.262626262]

You're right. It's a crime, and I am extremely ashamed of using a cracked software. I didn't know it was prohibited. 

What should I do now? 

[Fatimah.262626262]

Is there any way I can pay the money I earned through Adobe Acrobat Dc

be kind to others and maybe help others less fortunate than yourself.

[Fatimah.262626262]

Sorry to bother you again. One last question, 

Will Adobe owners hold me accountable on the day of judgement for the money I owe Adobe?? 

Because the one who uses someone's property without paying them, their good deeds will be exchanged by the bad deeds of the one who's property was stolen. 

Will Adobe claim this on the day of judgement? 

[kglad]

i suspect if you legally subscribe/purchase from adobe, they won't pursue legal action against you in this life.

as for judgement day, adobe won't be a factor, and it's never too late to atone.

Thank you for replying. I've sincerely repented and I'm quiting my freelance services in which I used Adobe Software, since I can't buy it. 

I will make my country's freelance community aware of the fact that using cracked software is a major sin. 

Thank you
