Suspicious website selling "lifetime" Adobe Acrobat Pro license

[catia_4413]

Hi everyone,

I came across a website selling Adobe Acrobat Pro with a so-called lifetime license for just €39.99. As far as I know, Adobe only offers Acrobat Pro through a subscription model, so this seems highly suspicious.

Here’s a screenshot of the listing: (Attach the image you uploaded)
And here’s the link to the product page: https://softkeyss.it/products/adobe-acrobat-pro-2022/

The website looks professional, and many people have already purchased from it, leaving positive reviews. However, I also found reviews stating that after some time, the product needs to be reactivated, which suggests it might not be a legitimate license.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a scam? If Adobe only sells Acrobat Pro via subscription, then this website is misleading customers by claiming to offer a perpetual license when it doesn’t exist.

Thanks!

The only way it can be legit is if it's a used license that is being re-sold. If so, they would need to do a License Transfer via Adobe for it to be legally owned by the new author. If that's what they are offering to do, then it's probably legit.

If they are only offering a serial number without the ability to register the software under the buyer's name it's most likely pirated software.

The packaging used on this site is not Adobe's, but was inspired by the outdated Acrobat 9 logo.
I smell a scam.

Hi @catia_4413, 

Thank you for reaching out. 

As experts rightly said, this can't be trusted. We no longer have EOL product downloads available publicly; people who have purchased the product can access download links from their account. 

Also, we can report such website here: https://adobe.ly/3F3niCf

Absolutely a SCAM!

They recently changed the domain from softkeys.it  to softkeyss.it.

I discovered this by helping a friend who received a zip file from them, containing cracked russian software.
