I would go after your old boss for the money that you are owed. I agree with cyrnel above saying that the adobe software matter is something all together different. Any court I would imagine would seperate the two. He can't really do anything to you about the Adobe software because he wasn't hurt by it, Adobe was. Get your money from your old boss, then deal with Adobe if they come after you.
If Adobe decides to come after you, which I highly doubt they will, seeing as how a lawsuit against one person would cost them a great deal of money (more than the software you took) and you have purchased legitimate licenses since, then explain the situation to them. I think Adobe has too much to deal with to go after one person right now.
Get your money from the boss, if he says anything to Adobe, let him. Then you deal with Adobe.
