Hi Guys –
Okay – I’ve read all the postings on the pirated cd’s but I have not found one that matches exactly what I’m looking at. on eBay, for $275, a Photoshop 7.0 OEM cd is being offered. This cd is supposed to be in Adobe OEM packaging, still sealed, and with an unused serial number. However, what concerns me is that it has the same "cannot be registered for technical support" clause in it. Can someone please explain to me just exactly what services/support/upgrades true, authentic OEM software is eligible for? I mean, no OEM software qualifies for phone based technical support, does it? And if the software is distributed with a computer, doesn’t that make it legal? and finally, if it is in the true Adobe OEM packaging (I have some Adobe Acrobat OEM software so I know what it looks like), can it still be pirated? I would greatly appreciate any and all help.
Sincerely,
Patrick
