Pirated Software!

[defaultzqf1rx7sua50]

Do Adobe Allow users to Pirate their own Adobe Products? My friend recently told me they do, I just wanna get things clear.

Could you elaborate on what that friend said? 

There were quite a few misunderstandings back when the CS2-activation servers were retired and license holders for those obsolete versions were offered alternative solutions for example, but as @Ged_Traynor already explained what you describe »does not compute«.

Authorized use would not be Pirated Software.   Pirated Software is use without authorization its thief of Adobe property. Adobe can not prevent it and its hard  for Adobe prosecute all pirates they evade capture. Adobe software has no auto capture feature, and if added pirates would defeat it.

@banana_5329 , your reasoning appears to be specious.
