Adobe Gets US License To Operate In Venezuela Despite Sanctions

Adobe has received a U.S. license allowing it to restore its services to users in Venezuela, which it was due to shut down to comply with a U.S. executive order that prohibits trade with the country. Reuters reports: Venezuelans said they were resorting to piracy after San Jose, California-based Adobe said it planned to halt access to its products to comply with sanctions. “After discussions with the U.S. government, we’ve been granted a license to provide all of our Digital Media products and services in Venezuela,” wrote Chris Hall, Vice President and General Manager for Customer Experience, in a blog post. “Users can continue to access the Creative Cloud and Document Cloud portfolio, and all of their content, as they did before.” Adobe had said its software would stop working in Venezuela on Oct 28.
