From my previous experience with Adobe's "Activation via internet"
feature, you [the software purchaser] can try contacting Adobe
Technical support <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:tcssup@adobe.com"><tcssup@adobe.com></a><br>
<br>
If you supply all your personal and purchase details [software order
number], you will then be directed to download a 'hack' from the
Adobe licensing portal, which after installation will prevent the
software from calling home.<br>
