notes: >-
  Adobe Creative Suite is a discontinued perpetual-license desktop product
  family with no public REST API. There are no rate limits to document.
  This artifact is retained only for catalog completeness; consumers
  needing API rate limits should reference the adobe-creative-cloud and
  per-product (adobe-photoshop, adobe-illustrator) repos instead.
description: >-
  Creative Suite was a perpetual-license desktop bundle and never exposed a
  public REST API. Activation traffic for legacy CS6 installs flowed through
  Adobe IMS endpoints which Adobe deprecated for older releases.
