# Was it suspiciously cheap?
Does it have holograms and stuff?

You could maybe contact Adobe?

# I paid £1300 for it
but there isnt a hologram (first alarm bell) and there is a white strip on the outside of the box which isnt on the official photos, and the CDs appear to have sticjers on rathe than printed
so i'm convinced its fake and i've been ripped off :(

# Call Adobe to confirm
then call your credit card company and contact Amazon.

# christ, yep
If the product has a self-adhesive label on the top face of the CD, it is not authentic.
