ethergeek 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 Why not just use a peer to peer network to download a pirated version for the cd image. If you bought the software, and have your own unactivated license key, you aren't violating anything in the EULA by using someone else's media to install it.

jimmy89 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 Another idea yes, but personally I don't like using peer-to-peer networks because of the fact that they can be littered with virus's! I would prefer to download it from a reputable source (like adobe's website) and not from some person who could have tampered with the software ( god only knows what they could try and steal from my computer!)Thanks for the suggestion though!-jimmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would prefer to download it from a reputable source (like adobe's website) and not from some person who could have tampered with the software ( god only knows what they could try and steal from my computer!)I completely agree with you on this general point. Usually, these peer-to-peer sites are not agreed for officially selling software, they usually steal a software and give it to you. So, they help you stealing software. And, of course, if you accept that they steal from the software manufacturer, you should accept that they steal from your own computer.I think that the only way to work safely is buying your computer with an original software, and buy each piece of additionnal software you put on it, and reading the warranty terms concerning this.Even in the freeware world, there are sometimes bad surprises, which make me recommend that you have an efficient backup/recovery methodology in case of bad software install leading to minor or major system troubles.

yordan 10 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Have you tried thishttps://forums.adobe.com/welcomeLooking at adobe forum is a great idea. However, if you have a look at the answers to this post, you will see that the problem has already been solved by Xisto forum people. Downloading the last version of the software directly from Adobe was the trick. The only remaining question was the way to get some money back from adobe because of the scratched CD, I think it's hopeless. I guess the money paid to Adobe is for licencing the software, whether the software was obtained by conventional mail or by a download from Adobe server.

Herbert1405241469 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2008 I had the hardest time trying to install Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 on my laptop for work... I shelled out over $1000 for software which costs way too damn much and the install takes 45 minutes... and then failed. I finally managed to get Dreamweaver working, but for Photoshop, I had to revert back to Photoshop 7, which totally defeated the purpose of spending $500 on the software in the first place....
