On macOS I found that getting Photoshop to stay cracked was a hassle. This didn't make me buy Photoshop, it just made me use something else.

    I dumped Adobe completely several years ago, and found that Pixelmator has been an excellent Photoshop replacement. It even now does vector images - used to use an app called Graphic for that (for an Illustrator replacement), but should now be able to do all of that from Pixelmator.

    I had a legit copy of CS6 for my windows computer, then switched to Mac and was unable to get a copy for it so I kept my windows laptop around for graphic design.

    It died and now I use Affinity on my Mac and iPad.

    Yeah, I used Adobe CS3 on the Mac for a very long time, because I may have had the activation key for my college's site license...

    That never gave me any trouble. But using other keys or cracks, a real pain in the ass.
