Photoshop 2023 crack stopped working

[Zinriel]

Hey Been using photoshop 2023 for a while now, but recently it's been popping up as unlicensed software, so i assume adobe has sorted out a workaround to the crack, does anyone have a solution to this issue? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of times but the most i've managed to get is a few minutes before i get locked out again, any help to resolve would be appreciated

Disable updates and block any photoshop .exe from connecting.

Disable updates and block any photoshop .exe from connecting.

Probably too late now for that copy. Adobe stuff requires a fresh Windows install sometimes after crack is broken. Take hacxx’s advice any time you install Adobe anything.

I don't know if this will apply to your case, I faced the same problem, what I did and apparently seems to have solved the problem, I replaced the crack and after that I created a rule within the Windows defender firewall to prevent the Photoshop program from accessing the internet,

1 - open windows defender,
2 - Firewall and network protection,
3 - search for "advanced settings",
4 - in the new window that will open, look for outgoing rules
5 - click on "new rule",
6 - Add a new rule for the program,
7 - Find the .exe of photoshop
8 - Make sure the option is to block the connection
9 - Next > name the rule and finish!
10 - Repeat the process for other .exe within the same folder if you want, I did it with some others that I found necessary.

I did this on my machine, and on my office colleague's machine, and apparently it's still working without notification.

(Dont think this works any longer) try removing SL Cache Data file

C:\Users\"YOUR NAME"\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\SLData\SLCache (just try renaming that file that is located in that folder ( Dont try this in newer installs by the way )



This still works :

Add this to your Host file
# BLOCK AD0BE (current as of 15/01/2024) #
0.0.0.0 ic.adobe.io
0.0.0.0 r3zj0yju1q.adobe.io
0.0.0.0 cd536oo20y.adobe.io
0.0.0.0 3ca52znvmj.adobe.io

Second:

Install this:

Easy Context Menu v1.6

Easy Context Menu enables you to add a variety of useful commands and tweaks for the Desktop, My Computer, Drives ,File and folder context menus

www.sordum.org

After that is installed right-click on an Adobe executable and you will see the option to "Add to Firewall" (quick and easy enough)

If none of the above works for you.... Download revo uninstaller like say from a torrent site or your favorite " Skull & XBones " site , you smell what Im steppin in?... Of course you do....

Completely remove all leftovers too, this is the only other way I have known for this to completely work

Then reinstall and follow my instructions above

except for the SLStore removal thing ( that is no longer a viable solution ...only for previous software, like 2021 and maybe 2022)

Hey, I tried to block it with HostsMan as described, but it does not seem to work proeperly anymore. After 30s the crack gets detected. HostsMan delivered this message: "Checking for Updates: Adobe is dumb... check failed (".")."
Are there any new URLs to be blocked?

Don't mess about with firewalls and all of that..
Put all of these from the attached file into your 'hosts' file located at:
"C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc"
job done. I've done it and it works, Photoshop 2023 & Bridge 2023

thank you, had the disabled app issue after a year of it being fine, checked yt by date and they were only showing the method to block the exe in firewall, none of them were showing the hosts method.
I already had a bunch of ips blocked but I guess adobe updated some ips so my list was out of date and this list worked for me.
