I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Account, Payment, & Plan forum.

May not be possible due to US Government sanctions

Hello John T Smith, but what is it <link removed-kglad>???
It is looks like avoidance of sanctions! Ups 

[kglad]

purchase only from adobe.com or authorized resellers, http://adobedealreg.force.com/PartnerSearch?lang=en

(if you are able)

But officially Adobe stops all new sales in russia. (Shantanu Narayen 03-04-2022) 

A precedent of avoiding sanctions on sales in russia 387 official resalers!!!
HOW IT CAN BE POSSIBLE NOW WHEN RUSSIA KILLING THE UKRAINIANS?
Sorry for the caps, but this is not good, not good.

if you can't purchase legally you risk being victimized further by a scam seller of adobe apps.

[Valentin Grischenko]

My point is that even having official resellers in russia is now a law breaking and sanctions avoidance, the russians are using software created in the US and making money from it and then creating their propaganda against the US itself and Europe. My message is a protest against sales and continued cooperation with the Russian Federation, at least as long as the war is going on. 

I understand that you don't want or have no right to answer for this, but let it stay here. People need to know who's who.

your messages will remain here.  but these are user-to-user forums.

for applicable apps, you can make (some) suggestions to adobe here, https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/x-productkb/global/how-to-user-voice.html

for others, use https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html
