#HOW TO ACTIVATE ADOBE CS3 MASTER COLLECTION USING KEYGEN SERIAL NUMBER#
This is easy: roll back the time so that the application does start, choose deactivate (and choose the option to remove the serial number completely from the computer).
So, at this point, you need to deactivate. However OS X 10.4.x and lower do not have a quick command to clear the dns cache, but rebooting does the trick as well.įinally, the CS4 software does require that the activation server EVENTUALLY be reachable after a certain amount of time. By clearing the cache, you 'force' the Mac to use the new address. Now, the sudo line to -flushcache tells OS X 10.5 and higher to flush out any cached knowledge it has of the adobe server addresses, since entries in the cache could be used before the new 127.0.0.1 entries. Since your own computer won't respond to this request (it's not an activation server), the software assumes that the activation server is temporarily offline so it allows you to use the software in the meanwhile (since it can't just lock you out when you have a valid serial just because the adobe server might be offline). What's special about 127.0.0.1? It is called the "loopback" address and means "my own machine": using this address basically tricks the software into trying to activate the applications by communicating with your own computer instead of the proper location of the adobe activation servers. The long list represents all the activation servers and this list points them all to this special address. The lines like this one: "127.0.0.1 " are instructions to your computer to tell it that the server at is now located at internet location 127.0.0.1. For everyone, here is how this fix works: To prior poster - reboot (you are on 10.4 which means all versions starting with 10.4).
That's all I'm going to say on that matter, too. *NOTE: No - I DO NOT have the list of serials anymore, so don't ask me, people! If you want to download any programs, I suggest you look online for the torrent sites - start with the letter "H". My question, should I even worry about adding the activation.*****.com to my host file or leave well enough alone? As long as everything is working fine do I need to worry about it? I always check my task manager and kill the FNPlicensingservice when it pops up (usually at initial start up and every time I run one of the Adobe programs) and I never use any of the programs while I am online - always disable the internet every time I use any of them, just in case. I've checked my hosts file and it was untouched except for one non-related entry. I was never asked for an activation and it has never tried to activate.

#HOW TO ACTIVATE ADOBE CS3 MASTER COLLECTION USING KEYGEN REGISTRATION#
Adobe CS4 makes use of a license activation system to make Keygens and shared serial-number obsolete by blacklisting them via a central activation server, Surprisingly, smart crackers defeated the whole CS4 activation system using a simple trick, blocking access to the activation server using Windows or MAC HOSTS file.Īfter generating the key using the keygen, users simply need to block access to Adobe Activation servers using their firewalls or Windows HOSTS file, effectively disabling the CS4 licensing system from verifying the registration serial-key.
