Hi I was looking on Gumtree to purchase Elements disks for my laptop and there is a user offering $17 downloads of the 2021 version. He says after payment he sends an activation code which is good ‘for life’. Sounds dodge and I'll probably buy the disks.

NOPE!  That is a 100% scam. Sellers like that usually resell the same liscense over and over and, or they sell OEM liscenses meant to go on brand new computers, wit h preisntalled software, or they sell blocks of educational licenses that were purchased by valid instititions, for dirt cheap sales to faculty, staff  / students.  

"Does not require an activation key"- that is a clear indeication that they probably edited the software to bypass the registration process- AND they will include a link

I have never seen  a price below $59, with perhaps on exception that a persone spoke about last month.

I just checked that sellers page- a lamp for sale is the only legal thing for sale.

Thanks Glenn, especially for protecting my feelings in not being gullible. I’ve not used Photoshop before and am learning to use a mirrorless camera and didn’t want to dive in for the full version. Heard that Elements is a good starter. Thanks again, I wouldn’t even buy a lamp from that guy now (or lady)!
