Pay for old Creative Suites 5, 5.5, and 6 to get patched?

[sl2942243]

I'm looking to buy Creative Suite; 5, 5.5, or  6.

Support is an issue with these old but still useful versions of Adobe product.

However, If someone already has 5, 5.5, and 6, I thought to myself, what if updating patches could be bought rather then straight out denied?

Your thoughts please

In my opinion it is pointless to discuss what if. Such old applications are only partially compatible with the new version of the operating system and this compatibility becomes less and less as time goes on.
Adobe has discontinued and will not resume support for these products.

You do realize that you'll be getting pirated and illegal software that is likely full of malware?

That's not a probability, that's a dead certainty. This old software hasn't been legally available for many, many years. All serial numbers once issued are exhausted, either in use or revoked because of piracy and misuse.

In short, don't even think about this. Don't say we didn't warn you.

If you're thinking second hand, that ship has also sailed. To be legal that would require formal transfer of ownership, but I cannot imagine they will still do that for 12-15 year old software.
