Photoshop 2023 fine on one device but not the other?

Installed and followed directions. Works perfectly fine on one PC, no detection. Second computer, detected. Help?

Come on now Eye, no teasing!
Seriously you don't think anyone else (including yours truly) can't make the same mistake? Think again!

Unfortunately the only way is to turn off internet for it to function properly. The other computer is fine though, I don't know what happened.

Actually, I haven't figured it out yet. It does work if the internet is turned off. My other computer is fine though. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I found a solution. PM me for details, pretty simple fix. Thanks everyone

Yup. Check your hosts file. Copy the one from the working system to the problematic system. Use notepad that you open as administrator. (Left click notepad exe file or type notepad in the search box and left click open as administrator). It's as simple as that ( I hope) If that doesn't work (it should) come on back and we will figure it out.

I found a different solution via blocking the apps from accessing the internet. Works like a charm, or you can just toggle airplane mode too. Either way works. Thank you!

Aside from disconnecting the Ethernet cable, how does one prevent Photoshop from linking to internet - thus the unregistered program is disabled.
