help and advice requierd Hey All, Have downloaded the trial CS5 on Mac, can someone give advice on what the process is and if different from windows users. This is my first time using Imac system so be gentle with me Thanks......
A little help here.... where is Acrobat ? I did not have any issues installing CS5 Master Collection from the Trial & activating it, everything works perfectly fine on my x64 system... but... I can't seem to see or find Acrobat
anyone have links for photoshop cs5 extended or are they same as the regular version just a different key??
Alright, (this is now common knowledge) everybody knows where to download the trials, then use a leaked key (or keygen), and patch the hosts file. I have been reading through the net that people are also replacing the "amtlib.dll"with a patched one. Does anyone know what this file does (all the CS5 programs have it) and what was patched or changed in it or if it is even necessary for CS5 (as some say it was for CS4). Thats 3 questions.
There was supposedly a timebomb in CS4 where if you hadn't activated by a certain point (blocking hosts does not activate, but you run full featured in CS until Adobe finds your key is leaked/keygenned). The patched files fixed it, and actually made the hosts patch unnecessary since CS4 never got deactivated. I also had some problems with Acrobat 9 Extended with hosts patch, if it didn't activate (because hosts were blocked, though I was using a cracked file with it), the 3D app for it wouldn't run. Just the cracked file without hosts has been fine for me. For CS5, though, I couldn't get it to work with indesign, or the 64 bit apps because I didn't have the 64 bit dll and copying 32 bit for 64 screwed it up. I personally recommend the cracked files approach, I have run all adobe updatess on Acrobat 9 Extended and CS4 and it never screwed with me.
M4Y4N site basically wrote a script (for x86 only) that does just that. It replaces all the amtlib.dll files with a patched one. They claim you do not need to input any serial or patch your host file yet you would be full activated with a full version.
I made my own batch file but I enter a serial at setup. I don't have 64 bit dll and indesign didn't work for some reason. I'd go with the patch if you can get this problem solved, else just stick with hosts patch.
I found a person that wrote a script to patch both 32 and 64 dll's. Many verify that it works. I invited the person here to share the script (it is in exe so I hope he posts it in bat or vbs). Time will tell if the person shows up. Hope so....I may just extract the exe a post when I find the time. Look for this post on demonoid by V1x0r, Re: ultimat activator: WELL!! after much kicking around and some complaints I have come up with this, it not only replaces the amtlib.dll files correctly, BUT it also modifies the hosts file!! (it does NOT replace the hosts file, merely ADDS to it). Please let me know if this works well for you or not. THIS DOES WORK FOR ADOBE CS5 32BIT AND 64BIT!! (this auto-determines what OS you are using then patches accordingly) Simply, install using the given keys. Run the activator then use.. tada...ENJOY!!
I forget if it was goldfish_92 or shadyman that did the .dll's. One of them did the original CS4 acivation blocker for the host files and the other the .dll's. I forget which...lol
