What is the ruling on installing programs, such as Photoshop, from websites and forums without purchasing them, given their unavailability for purchase or their high prices? Is it permissible to use them personally without engaging in trade with them?

It has been previously clarified that the preponderant opinion, in our view, is that if the owners of software programs do not permit their free download, it is impermissible to infringe upon their rights by copying and downloading them without paying compensation, even if the purpose is personal use and not commercial gain.
