The assumption of pirated software is from this post "I am starting to get into Dreamweaver/ Photoshop, and I'm using the Windows version. I have A MacBook Air, 8GB, with 4GB given to Windows 11, and (unsurprisingly) there isn't enough Ram."
Unless it is a really old license that is Windows only, Adobe licenses/subscription is cross platform. If it is an old license you can contact Adobe and they may convert to a Mac license for you. I have a friend who did that, they only need Illustrator for light random use, their old persistent license worked for them and was Windows based. They contacted Adobe and they converted it for them so they could use it on a Mac.... or might have been vice versa, I can't remember, either way they allowed it to be converted for another OS.
