High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria, enforced at Adobe's CDN layer and confirmed by community testing in early 2026. The team and community volunteers contacted Adobe repeatedly from February to June 2026, and Adobe's export compliance team replied that the request is under review without committing to a timeline. The block remains.
Contacted Company
Sent official outreach email to Adobe requesting the unblocking of Creative Cloud in Syria, as part of a broader request covering 11 Adobe services including Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
Contacted Company
Outreach email sent to Adobe at clientcare@adobe.com and legal@adobe.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Adobe Creative Cloud under the current post-sanctions legal framework.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Adobe Creative Cloud or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
