Request: "How Do I Install A Pirated Copy of Photoshop?"

I have had multiple people ask me this recently so I figured why not share with everyone. I will preface this by stating that pirating Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Master Collection or any of its individual programs is illegal. All Adobe products are available to legally purchase and download from adobe.com. This post assumes that at this point you have already found and downloaded a copy of your favorite Adobe software, if you have yet to do that then please refer to our How To Get Started With Torrenting and Going Further With Torrenting guides. In most downloads you will find a readme.txt file which explains what to do but some people have still expressed that that need further assistance. If you are looking at an .iso file then you will need to mount the file, without getting too technical download MagicISO and open the file that way.

(1)Disconnect your computer from the internet. If you have a wired connection then pull the plug, wireless connections should disconnect from the network. DO NOT move on to step 2 until you are guaranteed to be disconnected from the internet. If you have attempted to download Adobe software in the past then you will need to check for the following entries in your host file:

127.0.0.1 lmlicenses.wip4.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 lm.licenses.adobe.com

(2) Launch the Adobe Master Collection CS6 installer.
(3) When asked for a serial number, launch the keygen that was included in the download and press the generate button. DO NOT close or exit the keygen yet, you will need it later.
(4) Copy that serial number into the Adobe installer. You will receive an error message that says "Please connect to the internet and retry", click connect later and continue with the installation.
(5) Upon completion of the installation open any program (Illustrator, Photoshop...) and you will be prompted to Activate.

(6) You should see a link that says "I'm having Internet Problems" or an Activate Offline button, click on the Generate Request Code button.
(7) Input that Request Code, including the "=" at the end of the code into the keygen underneath the serial number and again press Generate to receive your Activation Code.
(8) Copy the Activation Code it into the Adobe Activator window and then validate.
(9) Also included with the torrent should be

For Windows:
Double click disable_activation.cmd. In Vista or Windows 7, run it as admin if you have uac enabled. Or do it manually by adding the text below to the bottom of your hosts file. (The host file is located C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)

For Mac:
Run Osx/disable_activation_osx as root, if you dont know how to do that, open a terminal window
then issue sudo -s, a root shell will open. Next do "sh disable_activation_osx" w/o the ""
or ./disable_activation_osx( make it executable chmod 755 disable_activation_osx you do that from the folder where disable_activation_osx is. (just copy it anywhere on your hdd). Or do it manually
by adding the text below to the bottom of your hosts file. (/private/etc/hosts /et/hosts)

(10) After it has been activated reboot your computer, re-enable you Network card and run the adobe updater to update your software to the latest version. If you followed every step here then Master Collection CS6 will update without any problems.
(11) If it did not properly install then you will need to completely uninstall everything and try all over again.
