How to Legally Buy Used Software Licenses Without Risks

Need to buy Photoshop for freelance work but can't afford Adobe's subscription. Are used licenses actually legal? How can I verify before purchasing?

Used licenses are legal if properly transferred through the vendor's process. I bought a Photoshop license through Procadis last year - they provided the original Adobe invoice and transfer certificate. Adobe Support confirmed it was valid after I submitted the paperwork.

The transfer took 48 hours to process, but I saved nearly 60% compared to Creative Cloud. The critical part is checking the software's EULA first - some vendors like Microsoft allow transfers while others restrict them. Procadis only sells licenses where the original publisher permits resale.

For peace of mind here’s the answer to how to purchase used licenses legally https://procadis.com/

Followed your advice - Adobe just approved my transferred license! The savings will cover my new drawing tablet. Thanks for explaining the process.

Good topic. A lot of people don’t even realize buying used software licenses is legal if done properly. It’s definitely important to double-check the source and make sure the licenses meet the legal transfer requirements to avoid getting scammed or ending up with invalid software.
