Verdict

A functioning software-license shop with limited but notable uncertainty

License Place advertises a refurbished perpetual Adobe Animate license and invites visitors to order it. The available evidence does not establish phishing, malware delivery, or commercial deception, while current checks found no threat warning and a valid encrypted connection. Caution remains appropriate because one older security result marked the URL suspicious and the Shop link crosses to licentieplaats.nl.

Proceed cautiously: verify that the checkout remains with the stated business, confirm license transfer and support terms in writing, and use a payment method with buyer protection. Avoid purchasing if the destination, seller identity, or terms differ from what was advertised.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

License Place advertises a refurbished perpetual Adobe Animate license and invites visitors to order it. The available evidence does not establish phishing, malware delivery, or commercial deception, while current checks found no threat warning and a valid encrypted connection. Caution remains appropriate because one older security result marked the URL suspicious and the Shop link crosses to licentieplaats.nl.

What the site sells

The observed listing offers an “Adobe Animate 2024 (PC) – Refurbished Perpetual License” for £799, and the page includes an “Order now” call to action.

The site publishes a Chamber of Commerce number, tax number, and a Nijmegen address. These details provide an identity trail, although the supplied evidence does not independently verify them.

Technical checks are reassuring, but the purchase path deserves verification

The current saved checks found no threat warning and confirmed an encrypted connection. Those findings reduce immediate technical concern but do not verify the quality, validity, or support terms of a software license.

One older security observation marked the URL suspicious, but it is stale and does not identify a specific harmful behavior. This is a cautionary signal rather than proof of an active threat.

A material commercial detail is that the Shop link leads from licenseplace.co.uk to licentieplaats.nl. Visitors should confirm the destination and seller identity before entering payment information.

Why the score is 78

The Shop link crosses from licenseplace.co.uk to licentieplaats.nl, so the commercial journey is not confined to the reviewed host. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is licenseplace.co.uk a scam or is it safe?
licenseplace.co.uk has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is licenseplace.co.uk safe to use?
licenseplace.co.uk has a Safety Score of 78/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has licenseplace.co.uk been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 91 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged licenseplace.co.uk as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is licenseplace.co.uk on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — licenseplace.co.uk is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the licenseplace.co.uk domain?
licenseplace.co.uk is 1 year old, registered on September 13, 2025 through Alboweb B.V. t/a Domain Chief. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does licenseplace.co.uk have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — licenseplace.co.uk presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 78 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is licenseplace.co.uk hosted?
licenseplace.co.uk resolves to an IP operated by WebMedia - Nijmegen B.V. in NL (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the licenseplace.co.uk report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 25, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about licenseplace.co.uk has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
