If you buy the software and use it, you have done nothing "illegal". However, the EULA could be another matter altogether. If you violate that, it is not illegal, but it is a breach of contract. Big difference.

Vague enough for you? 🙂

Doesn’t the new Photoshop CS have a product activation similar to WinXP? If the product serial number has been activated on one system, then it can’t run on a second one. I may be wrong about this, but its worth checking. "Getho" wrote in message

Maybe call Adobe and see if the US English version upgrade would work with your serial number. I have no idea if you can cross upgrade language versions, for example a French PhotoShop 7 being upgraded to a German CS version.

You assume his sister sends him the update that she has already used herself. That’s obviously illegal, but that’s not what he is saying. He may want his sister to send him the update from the US because software is notoriously more expensive in other countries.

They have an Australian language version of Photoshop?

I think he’ll find that Adobe says that each and every operation of it’s company in each and every country is a separate organisation, though a subsidiary of Adobe. And that, consequently, they expect you to purchase in the country where it is being used. Anything else breaks the EULA.
