--- Comment #4 from Saulius K. saulius2@gmail.com --- It seems judging by [3], Adobe license for their older software says that if user gets CS2 (or its individual products) directly from Adobe then there is no legal measures for Adobe to stop the user from using it in any way.
This would mean, if in addition you use serial numbers released by Adobe in parallel, then even if it's not an officially confirmed way, it is not a legal crime. Some kind of of moot point.
And by that I guess that using serial number for Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro given officialy [3] and official download URL [2] means that anyone is legally free to test the software (just maybe not use it for production to avoid legal mootness as much as possible). This sounds nice in the case of Wine testing.
IANAL, can someone bring more clarity here?
