I've unknowingly sold pirated copies of Adobe CS4 Extended on Ebay

And would like to know what I should/could do to help Adobe and bring about some kind of resolution.
It's a bit of a long story, but I'm a top-rated powerseller on Ebay and a few weeks ago I answered an ad on Craigslist for CS4 Extended at $199 a piece.  I really had no idea what the software retailed for, but after searching Ebay and finding them selling for an average of about $399-$499, figured they probably went for somewhere around $600-$700.  I decided I'd sell them for $299 and make a quick $100 off each sale.  And boy did they go fast.  I bought 5 copies at first, placed the ad that night and by the time I woke up the next morning they’d all sold.  I met the seller again that afternoon and bought four more copies.  Again, they sold immediately.
That's when I started feeling a tinge of nervousness.  I'm from Seattle, so I didn't really think twice when the seller told me their source was a person who worked at Microsoft and had access to the "Microsoft store" (which is somewhat infamous here because of how cheap you can get software for if you have access).  But nine copies?  This was just too easy.  I took one of my copies and drove across town to Best Buy to see how well it matched up to theirs.  And it matched perfectly, but I was stunned at the $900 price tag and therefore the ‘matching up’ did little to help my nervousness.  I ran home, hopped on the PC and found that one of my buyers lived about 20 miles from my house. Okay, this was a way to find out for sure!  I emailed and called them, but after getting no response I made the decision to drive to their apartment later that afternoon, unannounced, with a copy of the software in hand.  Unfortunately they weren't home so I left a note, which essentially stated that I was very sorry for dropping by like this, but my computer's CD Rom wasn't working (which it wasn’t) and wanted to make sure that the software they'd bought was legitimate.  I stated that I hoped they wouldn't mind installing in my presence so I didn't end up shipping out the other copies only to end up ripping people off and creating a mess.
It wasn't until the next morning that I heard back from him, via an email stating how rude it was that I came by like that, and to simply mail the software to them and they'd let me know if it didn't work.  Although I knew it was a possibility, It definitely wasn't the response I was hoping for.  Dang.
In my Ebay ad, I'd promised 2-3 day delivery on the software, so made the horrible decision to go ahead and ship them out that afternoon, keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.  After all, these looked real, all the way down to the product ID sticker, pamphlet, CD artwork, etc.  If these were fake, then someone went to a LOT of trouble and spent a LOT of money to make them look real.  I guess I figured that my chances of them being pirated were pretty slim considering the financial aspect of the alternative.  I did a little research and found that just the shrink-wrapping machine would probably have set the "pirater" back a couple of thousand dollars, then the professional looking pamphlet, the box insert, the box itself, the little stickers...this would be one heck of an undertaking.  What are the chances someone would have the means to do something like that?  Well unfortunately, much higher than I thought.
The first Ebay complaint was filed a few days later and the others soon followed.  All the work I’d put in to Ebay began crumbling down around me and I called the man I’d bought them from under the guise of wanting to buy more.  We met at a local Burger King and I confronted him about my situation.  In response, he repeated what he’d told me the first time I bought them:  The software was definitely legitimate and he’d had three different opportunities to install it himself on behalf of his buyers, all of which were successful. 
I pointed out that not a single registration code was valid and that some of my buyers had actually called Adobe and were flat-out told by representatives that they’d bought illegitimate software.  Every last copy of the software I sold was being returned.  I said that I wasn’t concerned as much about his level of culpability, but that I get money back to be able to pay for the accumulating refunds.  Of course he seemed sincere in telling me that he’d get back to me, but I haven’t heard a word from him since we parted that day.  But something positive did come of the meeting!  In parting, I pretended to drive away only to circle back around and see him get into his vehicle (he’d parked quite a distance from our meeting place) and got his license plate number.
The timing of this mess was incredibly horrible because I was moving at the end of last month and it cost me a small fortune.  When it came to being able to refund people, I simply didn’t have the money.  I called Ebay and Paypal, told them my situation, what had happened, and they covered the refunds for me but informed me that I have two weeks to pay them back before they shut down my account. 
I’ve sold on Ebay for over two years and it’s my biggest source of income by far (I’m a waiter by trade otherwise).  I’ve lost that now and have only myself and my bad judgment to blame.  But I would like this person to be held accountable for his part; even if that means that I have to face consequences myself. 
This happened over two weeks ago, but I’ve not called the local police yet because I’m not so sure that they have either the tools or the motivation to pursue something like this.  Instead I’ve been scanning Craigslist to make sure he’s not still selling (it seems he’s laying low right now) and figured I’d contact Adobe and see what course of action they’d like me to take.  I’m wondering how aggressive they are in making sure piraters are prosecuted and how they go about doing it.  Hence this post.
I’m in a financial mess at the moment and have been working a lot of double-shifts lately in my scramble to come up with money; I haven’t had much time to be able to contact Adobe during their office hours and thought I’d write this in the hopes that someone from Adobe will read it and be able to point me directly to someone who handles this sort of thing.
This guy lied to me about successfully installing this software, so I have every reason to believe that he’s knowingly and directly involved in the operation.  I still have the returned software.  What should I do?

Since your intention was to sell legit software, I'm sorry that you were as much a victim as your buyers were.  I don't know what else you could do except report it as others have suggested and pay your customers back.  Companies like Adobe don't have the resources to follow up on every individual case of piracy, but they should be interested in tracking down the sources of the big professional counterfeiting rings.  Judging from your description of the packages you sold and the cost of producing such packages, I assume they come from such a source.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I'm from Seattle, so I didn't really think twice when the seller told me their source was a person who worked at Microsoft and had access to the "Microsoft store" (which is somewhat infamous here because of how cheap you can get software for if you have access). 
I don't get the connection - you were selling Adobe software, not Microsoft software.

  • How do I get my adobe CS4 installed?

    Ok so here's the problem I bought the student version of adobe cs4 extended. I filled out the form on www.myidentit-e.com/adobe-student-edition. I filled out all the boxes to the best of my ability and the emailed me saying they have my info. So, with that done I took out the c4 disc and put it in my computer. It buzzed and then showed the disc as a Dvd and did not start the setup. So I looked on here for help, it said to click on the main folder in the disc called setup. I did that and I get a text document with a bunch of language written on it that I don't understand (kinda like florum ipsum but not exactly). So how can I set this up or did I just buy a couple discs for two hundred and twenty two bucks for a document with a bunch of weird text on it?
    Please help. I hope I wont have to go crazy and shave my head.

  • Problem while generating copies in Adobe Forms

    Hi Experts,
          I'm trying to print two copies of my adobe form, I have changed the copies values from Output Options Pop up and printed the form. But i didn't get two copies of it instead I got only one copy. And I have checked SPAD configuration also, the document gets printed according to copy counter specified from the form but in case of adobe it is not. We tried with smartforms, it is working fine. Please see the following screenshots.
    1. Entered the number of copies as 2.
    2. After clicking on print button, I got the following ouput.
    SPAD Configuration:
    Please provide your valuable inputs.

       Copies are not supported in adobe form. There are certain things which are different between the forms. SAP note 1009567 explains it clearly.  Alternative solution to get multiple copies has been explained in the thread  Multiple copies in Adobe form with different header text.
    So,i'm closing this thread.

  • I think I installed a pirated copy of CS5.1 Extended and now my purchased Elements 10 don't work!

    So yeah, that's right. I admitted to a crime. Wanna fight about it?
    I didn't know that it wasn't a legitimate copy. So now my purchased copies for Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier Elements 10 don't work! I tried restoring to a previous point, using a forced uninstall program that cleans the registry. I uninstalled my Elements copies, and when I reinstall them they don't show up in the start menu. I tried using the Adobe cleaner tool. I really do not want to use my restore DVD's for this laptop.
    Help!
    I can provide the Serial Numbers, and the codes on the DVD's put on the clear ring of the DVD, a copy of the purchase...etc.

    Actually it is relevant, because there is an activation program that generates a serial number.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended - Trial Version Expired

    Can someone help me please. I have searched the forums but I cannot find a solution.
    I installed the Photoshop CS4 extended trial which expired a few weeks ago. In the meantime I have purchased a copy of Photoshop CS4 (Standard not Extended). I completed removed the trial but I am unable to installed the purchased copy. I am getting the trial expired serial input screen.
    I have also tried the unistall with REVO but this has not made any difference.
    I have tried to use the Adobe cleanup but I dont think its worked properly. I am running Windows 7 Operating System.
    I have uninstalled/installed photoshop 5 times now and its driving me mad

    There is no problem such as you describe.  If you buy a legitimate standard edition license, you can enter that serial number and the trial version will be activated as the standard edition.
    Where did you get this copy of Photoshop CS4?
    If not directly from Adobe, there's a chance you were scammed and your serial number isn't valid at all.  Photoshop is heavily pirated.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, owned for ages, licensing for this product has expired? Was using it two months ago.

    Hello,
    I have been trying to get Adobe's help for over a month now. I've been on the phone twice to them, opened up three seperate cases and still arrived at no solution. I was bought Photoshop CS4 Extended awhile ago and use it for my studies (I'm an art student). Two months ago my harddrive on my computer failed and I had to have a new laptop. I went to reinstall Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has expired" comes up. I've uninstalled, inreinstalled many times and used Microsoft Fix It Programme for uninstalling to make sure all the files are gone.
    Surfing the forums I learned that there should be a folder with back up and Adobe PCD but I don't have that folder at all. The serial number I use is my original serial number that I know works and adobe have even said it's a technical error. What do I do? College starts again in two weeks and I don't have the programme I use for it!

    Try the License Repair Tool Adobe - Adobe Licensing Repair Tool
    Other suggestions if this doesn't work: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    Also if you must uninstall, use the Adobe CS Cleaner tool, not the Microsoft one. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Adobe Photoshop Extended CS4 Trial on Macbook

    Hi, my girlfriend tried to install the photoshop CS4 trial on her spanking new macbook. However, after downloading the trial and running the installer SUCCESSFULLY, she encounted a problem opening PS.
    The icon didn't show up, and when clicked an error message popped up, saying something to the effect of...
    "photoshop is not supported on this architecture."
    Does anyone know what the problem is?? Her laptop is a BRAND NEW 2.13GHz macbook, Intel Core 2 Duo etc etc etc... So I dont understand the error. Considering it is the right architecture. Anyone else had this problem? Iv searched the forum and googled the issue but I cant find an answer.
    Any response would be greatly appreciated
    Rick

    I recently encountered this exact problem installing Photoshop CS4 trial on an Oct. 2006 production vintage MacBook Black 13" with 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 core, 1.5GB ram, lots of hard drive space, running OS X 10.5.8.
    After much waiting on the Adobe help line, I could not even get them to say it was supposed to work on the MacBook. At one point they suggested downgrading to 10.5.4 to be in line with the required specs. I said no will do that.
    The installer apparently ran correctly but when trying to open Photoshop, it gave the 'architecture not supported' error which turns out to be bogus.
    I did the same install on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.2 which was successful, and I saw that there was a lot more stuff installed in the Photoshop folder.
    I finally upgraded the MacBook to 10.6.2 but the install would still not work, even after performing the Photoshop CS4 uninstall from Utilities/Adobe Installers first to get rid of previous attempts.
    It seems that the installer is completely broken. If it detects any remnants from other installs, it seems to not even try to do the complete install, yet doesn't give any error messages. The broken install is only apparent when trying to run the app, and it gives a totally bogus error message.
    I finally found the Adobe CS4 Clean Script which showed a previous trial install of
    Creative Suite 4 Master Collection which also had not worked. Removing that with the Adobe CS4 Clean Script then for some reason seemed to allow the install of Photoshop CS4 trial to execute correctly. The script thankfully left the CS3 installation alone.
    I don't know whether the upgrade to 10.6.2 was a required part of the solution or not, but after many, many hours of fighting with this, I can now say that Photoshop CS4 trial now works on the Oct. 2006 vintage MacBook.
    And to Adobe I say, please fix your installer so that when I say install, it installs, and forget the trying to be so smart. At least give an option to force overwriting of previous remnants so you can be sure the install has installed everything up to date.
    And please give some better error messages, particularly when it doesn't install required parts.

  • Adobe CS4 Install freezes at "Preparing to Install..." on Vista

    I am trying to install Adobe CS4 for the first time (it's not an upgrade) from DVD on Vista (all the latest updates are installed; Windows Update has nothing more to do). The Vista install is also pretty fresh, although I have installed a few things. The CS4 install starts and I get a "Preparing to Install..." message. But, that's it. It's stuck there indefinitely.
    I have disable my antivirus software, tried to use AdobeSupportAdvisor (but it doesn't seem to be able to determine that an install has been attempted), and been working through everything on
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404127&sliceId=1
    to no avail. I get the same behavior no matter what I try.
    Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

    OK, I got it to install. I think what happened was really simple and stupid on my part, but I can't really say for sure because I didn't get any such info from the CS4 install program. I had an upgrade version and I was installing on a new computer. So, possibly the CS4 installer was looking for a previous version.
    Anyway, here's what I did:
    1. I noticed that in spite of the install not appearing to get anywhere, there were some CS4 components installed. I removed them via the usual Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs routine.
    2. Install CS3.
    3. Install CS4.
    Worked just fine.
    So, my only suggestions are:
    1. If you have an upgrade version, install the version from which you are upgrading first.
    2. If you had this install failure, it might help if you uninstall whatever got installed during the failed attempt(s).
    Simple and obvious, I suppose, but it did get the install working.

  • Can I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended on my brand new iMac? I had PS on my old Mac using the student licensing.

    About four years ago, I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended while I was in undergrad. I downloaded it to my Mac. Since then, I've purchased a brand new iMac. Can I use this same software? I know it's been four years so the software is very updated, AND my new iMac does NOT have a cd drive. This may all be in vain. I'm just clueless! Thanks!

    Emalexander89 you are welcome to install Photoshop CS4 on your new Mac.  You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.

  • How can I delete all the files in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection from my machine?

    How can I delete all the files in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection from my machine. I have tried Control Panel but it will not do anything, there are no error messages, it is like as if it is ignoring my instruction. Why should it be so difficult to delete programs one does not want. Any ideas please.

  • Unable to install Adobe CS4 on Windows 7!

    I just upgraded my laptop's OS from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit. When I tried to install Adobe Design Premium CS4 Student Edition back on my laptop, it just doesn't seems to be installing anything. And after an hour or so, it just pop up a window stating that the installation failed with an Error Code 1620. I tried the installation for over 6 times since yesterday till now!
    Back to the time when I used Vista, I had to create a new folder (eg. Adobe CS4) to install the software there (in that folder) and that was when it finally installed the software for me. Of course, I met the neccesary system requirements even before buying the product.
    And now, even when I tried the same technique, it just won't work. I followed all the steps stated (such as restarting my laptop etc) and it just won't work! And according to the reviews on Windows 7, many people has no problem with the compatibility issue of CS4 and their copy of Windows 7.
    Please save me if you have any idea on what's going on with the problem I am facing. I really need help regarding this because my whole life is going to depend on this fabulous software which I have been using it since last year for school and social works!
    Any help will be deeply appreciated!!!
