Editing Adobe CS Activation (section)

===Adobe's Response===
Adobe has cited "aging activation servers" as the reason for the shutdown. While the company claims to have:
*Sent notification emails to registered users
*Provided modified installers that don't require activation
Many users report never receiving this communication, particularly those who didn't register their products when registration was optional. Without registration, adobe had no way of having the contact information of these customers who did not complete an optional registration.<ref>https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/activation-server-retirement/m-p/11491977</ref>
