So even though it's not virus or trojan the antivirus software company's have got on board with the major software providers to flag those apps as PUP's (potentially unwanted program's) and will automatically remove them as if they were a virus or trojan.Īdobe recently retired the CS3 and CS4 servers, again double finger quote here, because those servers where aged.

Some malware is just an app that lets you do something the software manufactures don't want you to do. So it can be done that way, but your risking a trojan or virus if you don't get the right keygen.

There are keygens out on the internet that will generate a key for CS6 but they are considered malware and most Antivirus's will remove the keygen if found by them.Įven if you have a key for CS6 the first time you launch one of CS6's application an activations screen will eventually pop up requiring you to do a handshake with Adobe servers or do an offline activation providing you a request key that you would enter into the same keygen to get an activation key. Adobe provided a serial for CS2 users because they retired, double finger quote here, the CS2 servers the handled activation.
