CS4 Master Collection license has expired lifetime workaround

FROM yomyshit:



For those of you who have installed the CS4 Master Collection and months later received a "License for this product has expired" popup when trying to open Photoshop or other CS4 applications.......this workaround will fix your licensing woes indefinitely



The main problem is that after a certain period of time.....the AMT Licensing file refuses to allow the CS4 application to load.......for me if was on Jan 20th.......I even changed my system time back 1 day and photoshop actually started working again.....but this is a hassle, So I found a permenant solution



Apparently after reading around, I discovered that the {spam link removed} file that is contained in each individual application folder in the CS4 Master Collection needs to be replaced with a "lifetime version" to get your product working again



Contained in this torrent is the {spam link removed} file as well as a crack.bat script that will replace each old {spam link removed} file in each program folder with the "lifetime version"



there should be no need to change your serial, but I included a keygen that works if anyone needs it



the only code that is executed in the crack.bat file is this:

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%D IN ('DIR "C:Program Files{spam link removed}" /S /B') DO copy /Y "{spam link removed}" "%%D"Also, I think I should mention that I originally had downloaded and installed the trial version of the CS4 Master Collection......this is the installation that I am applying this crack to



And once again.....make sure that you have changed your hosts file to include "activate.adobe.com"



UPDATE(answer to question about hosts file):

Open the file in notepad, erase everything and copy and paste the info below to prevent adobe from accessing there server for activation.

hosts file should look like this:



C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.comUPDATE(anwser to question about changing serial):

I found a way to change my serial through adobe's website....

They have an application that is used as a license repair/update tool for cs3/cs4 products......you can also use it to delete your license records which will then allow you to reenter this information when you load an application.......instead of repairing your license........enter "0" when it gives you the option to delete your license



Go Here to get the tool:

http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing_download_eula.html

Or here is a direct link for the Windows version

ONCE AGAIN!! THERE SHOULD BE NO NEED TO CHANGE YOUR SERIAL!!! BUT IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO OR THIS CRACK DOESN'T WORK.....DELETE IT AND YOU WILL BE PROMPTED TO ADD A NEW ONE
