I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS3 from The Violent Squirrel for the sum of $127.50. The price was low US$127.50 but I put it down to it being an out of date version of Photoshop. When it arrived, it looked like the real deal at first glance. But I noticed that the quality of the print on the box was surprisingly poor for an expensive Adobe product.
Although suspicious, I was still hopeful that I had just got a great deal and eager to try out the software so I proceeded with the install. When I reached the activation stage, I entered the serial number that was printed on the back of the CD case but the activation failed. I contacted the seller and he told me to proceed to phone activation but '?? No need to call Adobe'?? Just keep the window open, copy the activation number from the window and send it to him and he would send me the the authorisation code. To see what would happen, I sent him the code and he emailed me back with the authorisation code which actually worked. I asked for a refund but he still insists it's not pirated.
