Macromedia is now Adobe. Learn more.
Several Adobe and Macromedia products include activation technology that helps prevent unauthorized copying of the software.
Activation is an interactive representation of the license agreement between Adobe and its valued customers. Activation protects the intellectual property and innovation at the heart of the software industry.
Adobe is committed to eliminating unauthorized use of its software in a manner designed to have a minimal impact on licensed users. Versions of Adobe software that incorporate activation are provided under the same license as those not including activation. Read the FAQ.
What happens during activation?
When a customer installs an Adobe software product that requires activation, the customer is asked to choose the method of activation (Internet or phone).
The license information is sent to Adobe through the means selected by the user, and once the license is verified, the product is activated and available for use.
Activation does not collect, transmit, or use any personally identifiable information or hinder licensed users' ability to use the software the way they always have under the Adobe product license agreement.
