One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller"

Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...

sold by adobe themselves

Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL.

Moral of the story: don't do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.

Inkscape is a vector editor, and OP didn't say whether they used CS5 (which is a suite of different software applications) for only vector graphics.

Inkscape + gimp + Blender

All suites covered?

Thanks!

Great reminder: just found out about kdenlive a few days ago, I still need to learn that one

Never said there weren't good FOSS substitutes; I was merely responding to what you said.
