I hate to admit it but I believe that I have been taken by some software pirates...   In now having Daz Studio4PRO complete with 3D Bridge to Photoshop...I was very excited to try it wih my PS CS3... but I needed CS4-Extended... so I searched for cheap photoshop software... cuz let's face it $600 is a chunck a change even in good economic times...  Great...I found an "OEM licensed" seller with CS4-E for 59 bucks... saying that they are SO much cheaper due to there being no support for the software, no disc, no packaging...etc.... So I bought it  and after installing it the serial number was rejected by Adobe and the program was now in the trial mode...  I contacted the seller and they told me to do this  and do that and try it again and of course no luck... I told them I wanted my money refunded and they thanked me for my patience and try this and try that....again...  So.... I have been pirated and duped I fear...  has anyone else experienced this....

I've never heard of any photoshop products being this cheap.  The upgrade version of CS5 is $200 just the upgrade alone.

If you paid with a credit card see if they have a protection plan.

Visa for example could give you a refund if you call them and tell them what has happened.

Have to agree with Analog-X64.  Only way I know to get it inexpensive is to be a student that qualifies.

happened to me and VISA was most accomadating...but I pay for some insurance I think...a small price but apparently was worth it

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

Sorry to say, it happens all the time.  The old maxim stands:  If it sounds too good to be true - it usually is. My sympathies.

Shiver me timbers!

Well...My timbers are surely shivering...  Yes... I  am old enough (way) to know that if it looks too good to be true...it is...  I contacted Visa and they are handling this as Internet fraud ...which it is... and I won't be charged...  But damn it... this kind of crap really sucks... 

Thanks for your sage advise... and acknowledgement of this as happening not only to me but others..

Okay... Now all I have to do is contact that Nigerian Prince  and collect my millions...

Can you collect mine while you're there Steve.  Glad you got it sorted and won't be charged.  What a world, eh!

I have several millions waiting for me in The Bank of America. And there is a poor lady with cancer who needs my help in a hospital bed in London.
