Cheap(ish) download

Don't groan - I'm sure this has been done to death! I can't really afford AeCC so I'm looking for an old copy of CS6. There is a version on, yes, ebay, where you download from helpxadobe, so presumably it's a genuine version, but the serial number is provided by the seller. Is this legal and will the version work forever?  I know I can't upgrade it.

Hi ColinW,

Before purchasing another license from another party:

If they're just selling a serial number, especially "for cheap," then that is suspicious.

 

Why Never to Buy Adobe Software on eBay, Craigslist or Amazon Marketplace
