Importing and exporting has become a dangerous business with sources like dhgate being chalked full of swindlers taking good people’s savingsand never communicating again. When web surfers start researching importing and exporting, they’re usually the first source of information discovered. Awesome read though.

Hi Julek,

I don’t currently have the box with me and it’ll be about a month before I do again. I also don’t have a legitimate boxed copy at the moment to compare against unfortunately. The fake discs I got have Adobe graphics printed on them, though the quality of the graphics suggest that a fairly low-end printer was used; perhaps a sign of a fake. For me the “Serial Fix” folder was the dead giveaway. If you haven’t already, I’d take a look at the directory structure of your discs and see if there’s anything equally as obvious.

You can buy such pirated software on dhgate dot com for $15 when you buy wholesale
I sometimes buy software on eBay and I’d like to know the difference between original and pirated Adobe software.
Could you check the sticker on the box if there is something written that suggests that this software is pirated.
Or maybe CDs have a label “Made in China”?

Can you see any difference from original software?

Thanks in advance!
