[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1462786, member: 56379"] I'm not 100% sure if Adobe CS5.5 was on disk…or download only (or both)…so you may want to check on that. But really…even if you had the disks…if the original owner registered the software with Adobe when it was first installed (name, address, phone number, software serial number, etc.)…the software is "locked" to that person. Maybe there's a process to transfer the ownership of the software…but I'm sure it's not cheap (you may have to purchase your own license/serial #). Look at it from Adobe's point of view. Owner #1 may have paid upwards of $1500 for the software…then say the computer is sold multiple times…this would mean owners #2, #3, and #4 get the software for free…while owner #1 retains legal ownership of the software (due to their initial registration with Adobe). Don't pay +$150 for the software unless the seller can prove that you are the "official" new owner of the software…and I'm pretty sure this would require you to call Adobe to verify it. Otherwise…the seller will be smiling all the way to the bank…with the extra $150 you paid them!:( - Nick [/QUOTE]
