Question by CheekyChicken: Is there a way to get software from school working at home?
Aye guys, recently tried copying Adobe from school off a computer, have no trouble with copying the entire program folder, just when I get home to use it, it doesn’t work… Any idea what i can do to get it working?

because there is alot more then just the program folder, there are registry keys that make it run, and there are user files stored in other locations.

it is very hard, if possible to do what you are trying to do.

You can’t copy programs to your computer because it sets other values in other folders and in the registry, so unless you copy those as well, it won’t work.

You’re gonna hafta download an actual copy of Adobe from the internet on your own computer. It’s free, so I don’t know why you’re trying to copy it from the school computer.

On windows, simply “copying” a folder won’t let the program run.

If it’s a payed program, consider using a torrent search engine like isohunt to find it.

Setting aside the fact that what you’re attempting is illegal, it won’t work because installing software involves more than simply copying files. It makes changes to system files and folders as well. You need the original installer and your own serial number.
