My girlfriend bought Adobe CC Lifetime license from a shady site.
As the title suggests,
my girlfriend paid $ 360 for a site claiming to sell Adobe CC licenses that last a lifetime.
Sounds great, but only after what she told me that she had bought and I started looking into it I am more worried.
Some info on the website: they have a page of testimony that is often used to make fraudulent sites to appear more convincing.
I found this site several times with always a different url.
Example:
The site where she bought: http://softdepotsupport.com/product/adobe-cc-2015-master-collection/
Same thing but different site url: http://nsbkilbrgrujyifp.luxsoftdepot.com/product/adobe-cc-2015-master-collection/
After that what she paid, she was taken to a page where to download what are able to install exe, I think she had to run in track mode, and then use an Activator to unlock.
Very similar to a technique used to pirate software...
They stated that they have given the download links as it is cheaper than sending cd, but as much as I know that CC Adobe don't excist on the disk
and the only way to give someone a legitimate license is with a working serial key and not a software activator.
You guys think this? Is this an obvious scam, or will I be paranoid?
And if it's a scam can she still get his money in a way? (Paid by VISA)
Thank you!
Tell him to contact VISA immediately and protest against the accusation as being a fraud
There is no such thing as a "forever" of license to cloud... programs only a subscription with Adobe
If it extends what this site, his computer can be infected and supported by the crooks... so be prepared to have to completely WIPE the hard drive and start with a fresh install of Windows
I don't know exactly what link, but you have to be able to announce the site... see below

I bought Adobe Acrobat Professional and tried to turn it on for a while. I also had this same program on my old computer. How to disable enable it from this computer so that I can activate it on my new computer?
Hi larrygoynes,
To transfer the license from one pc to another how to proceed is to 'Disable' the license first of the older machine.
To accomplish this, you need to launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'disable '.
On the new machine, you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Turn on' the software and it will complete the transfer of license.
You can refer to the KB Doc: Activation & deactivation help

You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your COMPUTER administrator or Adobe customer support for assistance.

I contacted customer service and they told me that they are unable to support me and directed me to the forum. Please help as soon as POSSIBLE.

How to get my serial number lost? I bought my Adobe Creative Suite years from a retailer. This is an installation CD.
Janneh82309070, I looked at the e-mail address you sent me via private message and there is no Adobe software titles registered under this account. By the document referenced by Ned in the message #1 this discussion, please contact our support team directly at contact customer service if you are unable to locate your serial number. You want to be prepared with any other e-mail addresses or telephone numbers that may have been used to record the Creative Suite 4. If the software title was never registered then Adobe will not have a record of the serial number.
I apologise for the difficulties you have find your serial number Janneh82309070. Future versions of the Creative Suite registration was automatic to help reduce this type of events.
