Legitimacy of Website for OEM purchase of CS6

Hi all,
I have just had a typical Adobe support experience. All I wanted to know was whether a website that offers cheap OEM versions of CS6 is a legitimate Adobe reseller and if I buy from them whether I am eligible for future upgrades. Here is the conversation with the (I am guessing automatic) agent. The rudest part is that the 'conversation' was closed without any answer whatsoever. Can anyone here give me an answer to my question?
You are now chatting with Hemant.
Hemant: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Hemant: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe while I review your request?
Eric: Either XXXX or XXXX
Hemant: Hey Eric,thank you for the information, how are you doing today?
Eric: Good thanks
Hemant: How you want me to assist you with ?
Eric: I already provided that information in the original request
Hemant: Please elaborate your issue Eric.
Eric: I am about to buy a discounted OEM version of CS6, however, I am not sure if the OEM version will give me the right to upgrade to CS7. Could you please let me know whether this is possible? The website where I intend buying is: http://... (URL removed by moderator due to it being a purveyor of illegal goods)
Hemant: Eric please allow me a moment.
Hemant: Eric, we havnt launched any thing related to CS7.
Hemant: I am so sorry to keep you on wait. My system got freezed.
Eric: That is not the question. The question is whether I can upgrade to CS7 in the future if I buy the OEM version of the website that I sent you?
Eric: http://... (URL removed by moderator due to it being a purveyor of illegal goods)
Hemant: Eric, I can not say anything until unless its launched.
Eric: Hemant, all I want to know is whether the website that I sent you is a legitimate Adobe reseller and if I buy from them whether I am eligible for future upgrades, regardless of whether they are called CS7?
Eric: Have you actually looked at the link/website that I sent through?
Thank you for chatting with us. Please click the "Close" button on the top right of the chat window to tell us how we did today.
Adobe has the worst customer service I have ever come across - Every time I have contacted them over the last few years in regards to my legitimately bought products I had a similar experience. On two other occasions my question was not answered and instead the (automatic) agents tried to sell me a subscription to the online access. They used the exact same paragraphs for this.
I would truly appreciate any concise answers.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Eric

There is no such thing as an OEM version of the Adobe Creative Suite. The website you cited is offering either pirated software or illegally unbundled software (from bulk licenses). Either way, whatever the next set of Adobe products is, you won't be able to upgrade from illegal software! In fact, this stuff might not even work at all or could refuse to activate.
By the way, for what it is worth, these forums are not part of Adobe support. Although some Adobe employees do participate, this is really an end-user community here.

  • Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk.

    Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk.  Where do you find the serial number on the disk?  What should the serial number start with?  The disk was in the original box and I see a number that start with 910.....
    The box was in a brown envelope and there is barcode sticker on the back with more numbers.  Where should I look for the actual serial number.

  • Where to purchase Adobe CS6 Design Standard for mac? (in the UK).

    I'm looking to purchase Adobe CS6 Design Standard for mac for the company I work for (I'm in the IT department).
    All the other marketing staff run this version.
    I need another copy but it seems it's all been replaced with Creative Cloud.
    The finance director is not happy to be paying yearly for this, wants a one off payment for boxed/download version of CS6, so everyone's on the same version.
    I've Googled but don't trust any of the online shops I'm finding (could be dodgy copies of the software, might not turn up, etc).
    Adobe seem to still sell some CS6 products but only in other countries? (we're in the UK).
    Thanks for reading.

  • I would llike to know why it is that I have as of yet been able to install my purchased product CS6

    I would llike to know why it is that I have as of yet been able to install my purchased product CS6 Web & Design Premium, for WINDOWS. I feel that since I purchased this product that I should be entitled to be able to receive this products and the real program. Not a trial version, every time, I don't think that this is right as I paid   $ 1,800.00 for this product and therefore should receive what I paid for. I would like somonwe who has the authority to talk with me and tell me why I can not get My PURCHASED PRODUCT I PAID FOR OVER 1 YEAR AGO! YES CAN I PLEASE GET AN ANSWER, AND A GOOD ONE ??? wow YOU ALL ACT LIKE PEOPLES CONCERNS AND THEIR MONEY IS A GAME OR SOMETHING, WELL I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS NO GAME, MY MONEY IS NOT A GAME AND I FEEL THJAT THIS IS WHAT THIS COMPANY IS DOING TO ME AND HAS FOR A YEAR, CAN I PLEASE SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WITH WHOM HAS ANSWERS?

    This is a user to user forum, so much of your complaining is misdirected.
    Trial versions are no different than regular versions.  Most people start off with the trial version and convert it to a fully licensed version after they have tried it out.  A trial version is converted into a fully licensed version by activating it with the serial number you receive.

  • Setting up a business website for self and others

    Hi,
    I'm looking for information regarding using adobe muse to setup a website for an online store. Specifically, using it to setup a website for a friend or loved one.
    My girlfriend is starting up a jewellery business and needs a website to sell her products online, rather than have her pay someone to do this I figured I could do it myself as I've been intending to purchase Muse for my own projects.
    She needs all the typical features of an online store, can someone confirm this is achievable via adobe muse?
    One point I'm quite uncertain of, is how I give her creative control so she can make changes and updates on her own? I know I can install muse on 2 computers, but was more interested in perhaps enabling her to update her website with her own muse account. So I would be developing the website initially, then once it's up and running I would like to show her how to manage it through her own 'copy' (if it were physical software) of muse, is this feasible?
    Any help and detailed information would be great. I do apologise if this has been covered many times before, it seems like a basic question but I can't find any info in the FAQ etc.
    Thanks

    Hi _onz,
    Something I did several years ago (before I had Muse) when my wife began her jewelry business was create a website in the traditional way (at that time using Fireworks and Dreamweaver), but rather than have people buying directly from her site, there was a link to her Etsy shop. She could personalize the Etsy shop as much as she wanted, add/subtract jewelry on the fly, etc.
    There are some good e-commerce solutions out there. One that looks promising is Shoplocket. You can check it out here at MuseThemes.
    To your point about a lack of quality tutorials, I somewhat agree. The ones Adobe provide, albeit free, are more hit and miss. I've had better luck at Lynda.com where they offer video courses on the various software. Of course, they're not free, but for $25/mo. I've gotten a lot of value from them.
    Good luck!

  • How I can purchase photoshop cs6 in Mexico

    I can't complete my purchase of photoshop CS6, I live in Latin America Mexico. How I can purchase Photoshop CS6 on line or physically.

  • VMS for OEM  : Production Order

    Hi All,
    VMS has all the features required  for Automobile Importers. In the 'Make to Stock - Scenario ' , we can create vehicle , purhcase order and get vehicle from the Vendor . But implementing VMS for OEM is not that simple.
    Could any VMS expert advise the best solution for the given below scenario.
    Client : An Automobile manufacturer
    Scenario: "Make to stock" : Manufactured in the Production Centre of the same company ( kindly note vehicle it is not purchased from vendor ).
    I need to create Production order to manufacture a vehicle .
    The solution I found here is
    a) Create Vehicle
    2) Create Purchase Order
    3) Create a resevation Sales Order
    4) Run MRP , get planned Order
    5) Planned Order converted to Production Order.
    Please advise anyone has better approach.
    Thanks and Regards
    Tom Cruiser

    Tom,
    it's easy to implement a new ordering system based on SAP VMS . I've seen some customers who did that .... and all had different approaches. Some were complex, some were suprisingly easy.
    It depends .... it really depends on the complete scenario at the customer. Is the customer going to run the production process in the same SAP box? Or is production going to be in searate systems and the VMS is used to "just" handle all vehicles as a central instance?
    Your described process is one way, esp. if all is in one box.
    An other way is to send vehicle details to the (e.g. model-based selected) production system, and manage the purchase (doc flow) when the vehicle is finished and being moved out of production stock.
    Other experiences?
    Tell us!
