Photoshop “phones home”. Something like firefly which is needed for their generative AI can’t be cracked. It was spoofed for a while but adobe patched it quickly.
Apparently it’s tricky. I’ve seen a cracked version of Lightroom too, though it was too much of a fuckabout for me. Turns out that there’s decent FOSS alternatives that I’d rather use and support
It largely depends on what the online functionality does. Pirating software that heavily relies on external servers as opposed to your machine isn’t really feasible. But if it’s just a phone home to verify, someone has probably cracked it

Yes, aslong as you only need to connect to a server to authenticate then it can be done
Yep, used to pirate it but ended up buying it, I use it for work so much I might as well buy it.
Won’t do that with anything Adobe though. Fuck Adobe. I’ll pirate anything Adobe.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Yes*

You could also try Krita, which is free.
I’m going to second this. Krita is really good. FOSS should always be your first choice.
