Activity Summary

Partially blocked in Syria. The team and community volunteers have asked Adobe to restore access since February 2026; its export compliance team has replied several times, most recently in October, only that it keeps the matter under evaluation, with no timeline.

Company Responded

Community Updates

Adobe's export compliance team sent both volunteers the same reply: Adobe continually evaluates how to serve customers worldwide in light of legal and regulatory considerations, and they should check Adobe.com for updates. No change for Syria was committed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Behance works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
