## About

Subscription suite of creative apps for design, video, photography, and content creation

## Activity summary

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.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — 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.
- 2026-02-09 — 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.

## Community reports

- 2026-06-26 — Company Responded. Adobe's Export Compliance team replied from export@adobe.com, stating the inquiry is under review and has been noted as part of the evaluation process, and directing the team to visit Adobe.com periodically for updates. The reply is a human but near-template response that repeats Adobe's earlier April 2026 non-committal reply, with no timeline or specific commitment.
- 2026-06-24 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer emailed Adobe's export compliance team at export@adobe.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria, citing the December 2025 lifting of U.S. and EU sanctions, OFAC documentation, and supporting materials from unblocksyria.com/resources. This is a renewed outreach following earlier contacts since February 2026.
- 2026-03-05 — Company Responded. Adobe's Export Compliance team responded to the unblocking request via export@adobe.com. The response stated that Adobe "continually evaluates how to best serve customers around the globe in light of legal and regulatory considerations" and directed the user to visit Adobe.com periodically for updates. No specific timeline, commitment, or acknowledgment of the sanctions lift was provided. The response is a human reply but highly generic and non-committal.
- 2026-02-24 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer sent a follow-up outreach email to Adobe at clientcare@adobe.com requesting a compliance review to restore access for users in Syria. The email cited the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo and referenced OFAC documentation. Note: this same address (clientcare@adobe.com) bounced as undeliverable on February 9 — this outreach may also fail to reach Adobe.
- 2026-02-15 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer sent a follow-up outreach email to Adobe at tcssup@adobe.com, pr@adobe.com, and legal@adobe.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email cited the lifting of the comprehensive trade embargo announced by the U.S. Treasury in December 2025, referenced OFAC documentation and supporting materials from unblocksyria.com/resources, and noted that several other companies have already restored access.
- 2026-02-14 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer emailed Adobe's export compliance team at export@adobe.com requesting that Photoshop and other Adobe services be enabled for users in Syria. The email cited the lifting of the comprehensive trade embargo announced by the U.S. Treasury in December 2025, referenced OFAC documentation and supporting materials from unblocksyria.com/resources, and noted that several other companies have already restored access.
- 2026-02-12 — Verified. Community verification: Adobe Creative Cloud remains blocked from Syria. Tested via DSL network — the website blocks Syrian IP addresses entirely.

- 2026-02-09 — Note. Email to clientcare@adobe.com bounced as undeliverable. The recipient address was not found at adobe.com. The outreach email to export@adobe.com (shared Adobe contact) was not affected.
- 2026-01-29 — Evidence Added. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/s4vm0duolf3skefy70ls6wwi/exa25r1pybsdkdcx486u9c33-scgc3awo7rl0dw8ng92xenq3-screenshot-2026-01-27-111927-1.png)

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
