Hi,

Do we need to uninstall previous version before installing the new version from here?
I have 2020 version.

I searched the forum, and also read the instruction, it's not mentioned there, so asking again.

Kinda unrelated but after installation and applying the crack everything loads up fine once signing into adobe with the exception of the dropdown menus. They are flickering for some reason. Anyone else having this happen?
Edit* seems to only happen in when in full screen.

My system at work (current i7 Latitude) does some pretty bizarre flickering when making choices from drop downs with multiple monitors. I suspect it's a graphics driver bug that only shows up in some instances. Sounds like you make be experiencing the same thing. As long as you're not epileptic it's just an anomaly.
Photoshop probably has nothing to do with it, just the graphic conditions it normally generates.

I found the problem and forgot to come in here and update. The issue had to do with digital canvas being turned on. It wasn't just flickering the menus were freezing too. Disabling digital canvas fixed everything though.
 
my hosts file says this :

# Crack kills market
# Crack damages all, LOVE and PEACE
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

is this unusual?

Yup. Sounds very unfriendly. That host file addition means nothing. If you installed this program clean it out with Revo or the like and scan your system really well.

funny thing is IDK which program or keygen or crack put it there . I do know that

NetBalancer 9 Application

(NetBalancer is a Windows application for local network traffic control and monitoring)

when I installed it, It auto updated to v11.04 latest ver a week or 2 ago. The crack would never work. maybe it put that in there?

any idea how to find out what app put it in there? I specifically got net balancer to monitor if acrobat keygen or crack where going online.
 
I installed the crack version but after everything's done (copying crack files into the installation directory) Photoshop doesn't launch. Tried uninstalling and re-installing but facing the same issue. Anything I'm missing here?

How did you sign in using your account? Because as soon as you use your account, it offers a trial.
 
Hi all,

I've had no issues with this until recently. I'm now getting the orange "this isn't genuine and will be deactivated in 10 days" message. I have copied the files in the correct folders prior to launching, and I did not reboot my PC.

Is there anything I can do, or is this PC cursed now?

Thank you kindly in advance for any help!

Any clue which adobe services to uninstall to get rid of this message?

Photoshop was freshly installed and cracked.
 
Try custom outbound windows defender firewall rules for these 2 Adobe programs:
%ProgramFiles% (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ADS\Adobe Desktop Service.exe
%ProgramFiles% (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\IPCBox\AdobeIPCBroker.exe

In addition to that, also create an outbound firewall rule for Photoshop.exe (wherever you installed it).

What would be the settings for the rule?

This works.
