Adobe again allowed the download of Photoshop and other software for users from Russia

Adobe has given Russian users access to download Creative Cloud software, including Photoshop and Premier. This is the first easing since March 2022, when the company announced the termination of its activities in Russia and banned the purchase and download of programs from Russia. About it report "News".

It is noteworthy that there is no talk of a full-fledged return yet. Users can only take advantage of a free trial period, and they will not be able to pay for a subscription from Russia, even if you already had it before. The only exception is corporate clients: they could renew valid licenses all this time.

Adobe has not yet given an official comment, but Izvestia cites three possible reasons for the relaxation. The company can lay the foundation for continuing to work in the country in the future, or change the rules for the sake of the Russian offices of foreign companies that have suffered due to the blocking of access to IP addresses from Russia. Another possible option is a response to the development of Russian analogues, which intensified with the departure of Adobe.
