Software Compliancy - Supporting Genuine Software
 
When you buy authentic Adobe software, the benefits of ownership far exceed the software itself. With Adobe standing behind its products, you gain a partner you can depend on for technical support, important updates and future upgrades. You gain peace of mind knowing your products are safe, stable, compatible with your computer, and absolutely free of adware and viruses. You can’t put a price on that kind of confidence. Piracy free is worry-free.
 
By buying authentic Adobe software, you support the future development of new, creative and innovative products. You also protect the reputation of your organisation.
 
Recognising Genuine Adobe Software
Original Adobe software products have some common characteristics which can help distinguish them from pirated copies.
Pirated copies will usually lack proper documentation, have inadequate packaging, have handwritten or no labels on discs, poor quality graphics and printing on discs and no Adobe copyright notice.
 
Ensure your software has both SID code and IFPI number in the inner non-print area of your CD and that the CD is silver-pressed and not burned. The security sticker label on the jewel case must be plastic not paper and should reflect the SKU number. Starting with the Creative Suite 5 (CS5), all products will have a regionalized English SKU.
 
Adobe serial numbers consist of six groups of four digits and are unique for each product. Qualified Adobe Partners will never send the Serial Number noted on the invoice or printed on the CD, sleeve or jewel case.
 
The price of the software also gives a good indication of its authenticity as pirated copies are usually far below the normal retail price.
 
Always buy your software from a reputable Adobe Authorised Reseller. View our list of Adobe Authorised Resellers »
