Your question, apart from its superfluous apostrophes, is not very clear.

Are you buying or selling?

Sounds to me like she is asking if Adobe allows people to post links in her forum to connect to the Adobe purchase pages and trial download pages.

I personally don’t know, but cannot think of a reason why they should, since this would direct people to legitimate purchase and trial options.

Adobe would probably complain if you downloaded the trial, and then offered to let others download it from you (which would also be crazy because of the bandwidth costs). And they definitely would be upset if you started selling the software (without getting a dealership from Adobe).

I don’t see any reason why Adobe would prevent one from providing links to Adobe’s own trial download and full/upgrade version purchase pages, but I suspect the poster is asking whether it’s okay to post links to sites other than Adobe sites for downloads. And if that’s the question, I’m sure the answer is no. Many or all non-Adobe sites offering Adobe products for download are engaging in piracy. And even the posting of links to legitimate Adobe in-box software sales could lead to pirated software sites, or, as a side effect, spam postings. There are plenty of official Adobe retailer sites, and there are undoubtedly other sites that are not official Adobe retailers that sell legitimate Adobe products, but I don’t think listings would be productive.

We’re all guessing.

Bainca is a funny name isn’t it?

Thank you all very much for your help. I have emailed Adobe about it and am waiting for a reply on the issue.
