Anti-piracy
With genuine Adobe software, your programs are safe, stable, and backed by a partner you can trust.
Pirated software is software that's illegally copied or sold or improperly licensed. Besides being illegal, pirated software may also threaten your professional reputation, data, and privacy and waste your money.
With Adobe® Genuine Software, you'll receive technical support, important updates, and future upgrades. Your programs will be safe, stable, and compatible with your computer.
Adobe works with several organizations around the world to prevent software piracy. These organizations act as industry watchdogs to identify and prosecute offenders, create legislation to protect software manufacturers, provide tools to identify unlicensed software, and offer useful information to help organizations stay compliant.
