What is genuine Adobe software, and why is it important?

Did you get a notification from us?

Adobe runs software validation tests to check for tampering and invalid licenses. When we discover an issue, we notify the end user or organization and we provide options to resolve the issue. If you or someone in your organization has received a notification about a particular machine, it means the software on that machine isn't genuine Adobe software. It isn't covered by a warranty or our support programs. And because it may not perform as we intended, it could pose risks to you and your work.

People unknowingly buy non-genuine or counterfeit software all the time. It's typically sold by unauthorized online resellers and auction sites offering special deals. Non-genuine software may be loaded or bundled with computer hardware so unauthorized resellers can make their offers seem more attractive.
