the task manager option is da BEST , you are TOP 👍👍👍you have to write that if this doesn't work people have to Uninstall that Adobe Genuine Software, I did, now it works just fine.
I am not tech savvy at all but do I need to turn off the outbound connections that do not match rules or keep them on (referring to the advanced settings in Windows Defender Firewall). Please advise. Thank you
@@philjudd3473 It's some crap that you have installed. Go to the control panel and uninstall that Adobe Genuine software, that's why people keep seeing that error. Once deleted just proceed as shown in this video.
Just an additional tip, for some people, after you click on "Open File Location", you'll reach the folder where the shortcut is located and not the actual installation folder. You need to repeat the step there; just right click on the Shortcut and click "Open File Location" again, then you'll reach the application in the actual installation folder, then copy its path and go ahead with the process.
@@societycrumbles Alright, let me explain it in a more conversational manner: When you're trying to open a file and can't find it in the usual way, first, make sure you've located the file in your explorer. Once you've got it, go up to the bar at the top - you know, the one that shows the file's address. Copy that address. Now, don't just paste it directly. Here's the trick: use the "Browse" button, don't skip this part. When the popup shows up, paste the address you copied into the location address field. Click around until you see the application you're after, then hit "Open." Voila! That should do the trick. thank me later
@@societycrumbles Usually when you open the file location for the listing in the start menu, you reach this location - C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. I am not sure as to why you can't get the "Open file location" on right clicking the shortcut there. Try opening the properties box for the shortcut and you'll find the actual location in the "Target" and/or "Start in" field depending on the Windows version you are using.
@@samarpitshrivastavaofficial I figured it out after I wrote this and it seems my software is working again - I managed to just uninstall the "genuine software" notification, hopefully my photoshop will not get disabled. Thank you for replying, though, I will save it for future reference!
Just in case anyone else made the same goof as me, I found that I was actually blocking a program shortcut and not the .exe file itself! The icon in the program files is just a shortcut. I'm not sure how I ended up finding the .exe file, but once I put that into the firewall rules it worked perfectly! And I'm not computer savvy at all!
@@BasilLeaf_ No, it's the program file itself. Tbh I'm not computer smart enough to explain it but it should just be the program name with .exe at the end
You need to repeat the step there; just right click on the Shortcut and click "Open File Location" again, then you'll reach the application in the actual installation folder, then copy its path and go ahead with the process.
blocking only Acrobat.exe does not work, it shows "Sorry! This Adobe App is not available" error message. To fully work you also need to block internet access of ""C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\acrocef_1\AcroCEF.exe"" file in Firewall too. After blocking Inbound and outbound internet access to both Acrobat.exe and AcroCEF.exe, this problem is solved.
I have Acrobat XI Pro and I have blocked the inbound and outbound for Acrobat.exe but my Acrobat DC folder is just empty in the Program files folder. What should I do?
thanks for pointing out disabling the internet for a while as the final step!! there's a lot of videos showing this method, but none of them mentioned this and I was really frustrated cuz I didn't know why it wouldn't work lol you literally saved my life
It works without needing to turn off the internet connection for me, and it helps a ton so that i don't have to use my phone if I need anything from the internet. I can use my PC itself.
I did these steps and still it shows the prompt "Unlicensed Adobe Apps may expose your device to increased security risks" and then it tells me to buy Premiere Pro. Adobe's prices are ridiculous which is why I don't buy it. What to do next if the error is back?
At first i thought the method doesn’t work as well, but IT DOES. Your issue is probably copying the file location. My exe file is in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023. And this is exactly what i get when i copy the path. BUT that doesn’t include the actual exe file. Once you paste it in the field, hit “\” and a few options will show up in the dropdown menu. Find the exe file, in my case “photoshop.exe” and click it. As the path is now complete you may now proceed. Once you do it in the Inbound Rules and in the Outbound Rules, it will be fine. Works for all the adobe programs. Thank you to Loxyo Tech!
I tried this method but it was a failure, then I have to block internet connection for Adobe apps in server firewall. After blocking in Server it worked perfectly. The basic idea is blocking internet!! Thanks for sharing this video.
@@anqiwang5556 Open windows defender, on left side of screen you will see Advance option. Then Click Inbound connection, then create rule. Same for outbound connection. Or simply check in TH-cam "How to block internet connection for an App in Windows"
I suffered for weeks trying all these solutions to no avail until i realized my Norton antivirus was the one managing the internet rules and that is where i had to block the connections!
@@anqiwang5556 No need to disconnect the internet, just go to the control panel and uninstall that Adobe genuine Software , if you have it installed you will keep seeing that error , I did I followed every step in this video but it didn't work so this english guy wrote that you have to uninstall that Adobe genuine Software.
Omg thank you so much! I totally didn't notice that I needed to disable the Internet to make it work. After you have completed the step you can relaunch with Internet and the PS finally worked😍 thank you so much you saved my life
Works! For Adobe Acrobat DC (PDF Reader/editor) - i blocked the following for both Inbound and Outbound firewall rules: 1. %ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe 2. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AcroCEF\AcroCEF.exe 3. %ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\acrocef_1\AcroCEF.exe 4. %ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\ADNotificationManager.exe 5. %ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\GC\AGSService.exe No more annoying pop up telling me to connect to internet, or its going to he disabled. will update again if there's anything new. the alternative method didn't work for me. This one works perfectly.
I thought this didn't work at first. Took me two hours to figure out that I also need to disable Adobe's network connection granted by the 3rd party antivirus, in this case Kaspersky. I followed your advice for all three of my Adobe apps (PS, Illustrator, and InDesign), plus the extra step of disabling in Security Cloud. Now, it works great. Fantastic! Thanks a bunch!
You need to head to the firewall section in your antivirus software and manually disable its network connection permission. You will have a list of programs there most likely, so just uncheck them.
Hey, thanks for the video, but it doesn't work for me. I have done all the steps. In Inbound and Outbound it says that Adobe Photoshop is blocked, but after I open the program, the message still appears and the program closes automatically, very annoying. I can currently only work with Photoshop when Wifi is disabled, but that's not the solution I want. What is the solution if the steps shown don't work?
for does who had tried this and doesn't work, is because if you have another antivirus you need to block the internet access through that firewall, however if you have free stuff like Bitdefender then you cannot block the firewall access, and other antiviruses like AVG or avast are trash that slows you PC, so you better option is either getting the free trials of bit or just uninstalling and use windows defender.
thanks for the tips at first it didn't work for me until i set an inbound and out bound rule in my anti virus wich is eset anti vi ...now its working fine no more pop ups
Thanks, This was really annoying for me because it was popping up even with the app closed, so when im running performace heavy stuff it would just appear force me to their website glitch out and basically temporarily destroy my laptop, thanks this helps a lot!
I understood the logic of cutting the apps' access to the internet when this problem arise, but I'm a stranger to firewall settings. This video helps a lot, thanks!
Thank you very much! My problem is fixed. I was so worried that my access to the software would be discontinued and I need it for my job. Just wanted you to know that you've helped lots of people because of this! Please continue to do more contents like this. More power!
I followed all steps and now adobe shows a new message: "Sorry, this Adobe app is not available. To continue using this app, check your internet connection, firewall or add blocker settings" Only 2 options are "Exit" and "Learn more". Clicking "learn more" does not remove message. My app is now unusable...
I have Bitdefender and when it was on the Advanced Firwall setting was grey out, I had the disable the antivirus and the advanced option was working again, hope that help.
thanks my friend. Dato en ESPAÑOL para la gente: si tienes un Antivirus a parte del de Windows, y ese Antivirus tiene FIREWALL (en español CORTA FUEGOS), tienes que hacer los mismos pasos del video pero desde el Antivirus que tienes instalado. 👍
Thank you so much! This trick worked. I was really stressed out. I had downloaded so many different advanced versions from various places just to get this software running. I uninstalled and reinstalled it so many times, but after watching your video, my software finally started working.
Thanks it worked! One thing, I use the old right click menu so it's different with yours. So I use the shortcut "ctrl + Shift + C" and also delete the ".
Here's a better solution: Click on "Start", type "Services", Launch "Services", in "Services", search for a line called " Adobe Genuine Software Monitor Service" (the line may have different words, but started with "Adobe Genuine". Double click on that line. In the Properties, under "General", change the "Startup type from "Automatic" to "Disabled". Also click on "Stop". Click "Apply", OK, et voila. It won't bother you again.
instead of that if you have any anti virus software then just disable it like i have avg anti virus software so i have disbale it from background running app tab at bottom right corner and it helps me
For those who don't, it's because it's useless to disable it in windows firewall if you have your own antivirus, like Avast or Nod32....or whatever. You also have to disable it in the rules in the antivirus, because if you have an antivirus up there it will take over the firewall rules.
Thanks Bro! It's working like a charm. As you said it in the end i used to use by disconnecting to the internet, but i needed to get some resources from the internet and it used to be a hell of task cause i had to quit the program and clear the creative cloud resources running in the back ground. Now it's working fine. having generative fill could have been way more better but we have plenty of resources in internet we can take from. Once again thanks a lot bro!
To make it simple, you just need to browse for the application directly instead of copying and pasting as it will show a different format... I tried copying and pasting the file location but it won't work but when I manually browse for it, a different path appeared and it worked.. Here's what appeared on my end %ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Photoshop.exe
It still works well. I disabled the connection Inbound and Outbound of Premiere.exe AcroCEF and Adobe Unlicensed Pop-up and it was done. Thank you so much
I followed these steps while having the internet disconnected and I still keep getting this problem for some reason. I need internet access while I’m making content on Photoshop to communicate with project teams.
Thanks a ton, this worked! I had already removed the AdobeGCclient folder/disabled all the services and was still getting this pop up, and uber annoyed by it. I found another video on YT that had mentioned disabling the internet in order to get PS to launch, which works, but I need to use the web simultaneously while editing in PS. This was a very to the point video as the firewall rules totally bypasses this.
New message It is asking for internet connection and instead of stating your message stated that app is not available , it all appear with in 1 minutes of use
Thanks! Rather surprised that simply blocking internet access even prevents this after it's already disabled itself. Seems like a very weak protection method haha
Hello, thank you , this works well, but in the beta version in order to use generative fill, it needs internet connection, so now I can use Photoshop but without the generative fill feature which is the whole point of photoshop beta, is there a way to bypass that ?
I followed all the steps, but it still didn't work for my Photoshop 2022. I thought it was a file problem because the same method worked for my Illustrator 2024, but not for my Photoshop 2022. However, once I turned my private and public firewall on, it worked! I had previously turned it off. It's kind of weird because it works for Illustrator when the private and public firewall is off, but not for Photoshop.
I just figured out that the Photoshop icon in the program files folder is just a program shortcut and not the program itself. Once I found the actual .exe file and put that into the firewall, it finally worked! I hope it works for you too!
This only works for a few months, then you have to uninstall and re install lightroom or photoshop (whichever you are using then re add the block - no idea why but somehow they can still access your program.
Problem solved! Aynı yolu Adobe Illustrator 2024 için uyguladım. İşlemleri sırasıyla yaptıktan sonra en son WIFI kapatmaya gerek kalmadan AI lisans ekranı (popup) açılmadan açılabiliyor.
It seems like Adobe purposefully hid my Illustrator.exe file location, here is what I found: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2022\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe If you don't block the real .exe file but the shortcut version then the warning will still show itself
Can you block all Adobe? I purchased the perpetual license and they keep trying to open as CC even thought they were installed from old disk. They don't offer and I don't want any updates for PS or LR or anything in the suite. Can you just block inbound and outbound of the parent folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\ without doing each program?
Is this just Adobe Acrobat programs? I have older Adobe packages I bought outright years ago. I have had this message coming up constantly the past few weeks. So am unsure what actual adobe app it is referring to?
I did these steps and still it shows the prompt "Unlicensed Adobe Apps may expose your device to increased security risks" and then it tells me to buy Premiere Pro. Adobe's prices are ridiculous which is why I don't buy it. What to do next if the error is back?
Yes you are right! I followed all the steps, but it still didn't work for my Photoshop 2022. I thought it was a file problem because the same method worked for my Illustrator 2024, but not for my Photoshop 2022. However, once I turned my private and public firewall on, it worked! I had previously turned it off. It's kind of weird because it works for Illustrator 2024 when the private and public firewall is off, but not for Photoshop.
A little silly but when I have more than 3 documents open at the same time, clicking "more information" will prompt the app to save and close, I click yes and it only closed the 2 latest open files lol and then I can continue working.
This wasn't working for me until I realized that my client's computer had Avast AV with firewall. I had to add the blocks in that instead. The Windows firewall was not in use.
If this method doesn't work watch an alternate solution: th-cam.com/video/Vwpr8hLYyeg/w-d-xo.html
Also Check for external Antivirus software like MCAfee - Block firewall rule there to ------ it worked for me
the task manager option is da BEST , you are TOP 👍👍👍you have to write that if this doesn't work people have to Uninstall that Adobe Genuine Software, I did, now it works just fine.

Hello, thank you , this works well, but in the beta version in order to use generative fill, it needs internet connection, so now I can use Photoshop but without the generative fill feature which is the whole point of photoshop beta, is there a way to bypass that ?
Hello, I do this but when I reset my computer I must start the process from the begining, what should I do to solve this problem. Thanks
popup still there. I can't use the app
Hi! How can I do it on mac?
any solution ?
I followed all the steps, but it still didn't work for my Photoshop 2022. I thought it was a file problem because the same method worked for my Illustrator 2024, but not for my Photoshop 2022. However, once I turned my private and public firewall on, it worked! I had previously turned it off.
It's kind of weird because it works for Illustrator when the private and public firewall is off, but not for Photoshop.
This method works great with Premiere pro but it didnt work for me when i tried it with photoshop. is there something i did wrong or?
I just did it and for now it doesn’t say any notification without closing the Wi-Fi, I think it’s McAfee
not working.. it still pops up.
I just figured out that the Photoshop icon in the program files folder is just a program shortcut and not the program itself. Once I found the actual .exe file and put that into the firewall, it finally worked! I hope it works for you too!
will it work for premiere pro??
I'm very grateful man This video is really clear and helpful it gets straight to the point. I find that this method works well for me. Cheers!
hi plz tell the name application whitch is side of chrome on your taskbar
This only works for a few months, then you have to uninstall and re install lightroom or photoshop (whichever you are using then re add the block - no idea why but somehow they can still access your program.
Problem solved!
Aynı yolu Adobe Illustrator 2024 için uyguladım. İşlemleri sırasıyla yaptıktan sonra en son WIFI kapatmaya gerek kalmadan AI lisans ekranı (popup) açılmadan açılabiliyor.
Thanks man it does work. Make sure you get the actual application path. The one that ends with ".exe" and totally works
Question: Do you have to do this for each program separately. Or just one, and the rest get fixed automatically?
Do this process for each program separately
If I do this, my Wifi and Bluetooth drivers die. If I reset firewall they come back up....why?
does it work for disabled app? Cuz I ignored the message but they actually disabled the app
Worked fine for me. Thank U very much brother. Whome are new here, u should first try this method yourself, ignore what other comments are saying
I don’t have firewall and network protection 🤷♂️ Anyone help?
DO YOU HAVE THIS ON MAC? Please Help
It didn't work
any tutorial for mac?
With Little Snitch.
do i have to disconnect the internet before i open it every time?
It seems like Adobe purposefully hid my Illustrator.exe file location, here is what I found: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2022\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
If you don't block the real .exe file but the shortcut version then the warning will still show itself
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was magical i thought it was over between me and designing, Thanks man
Can you block all Adobe? I purchased the perpetual license and they keep trying to open as CC even thought they were installed from old disk. They don't offer and I don't want any updates for PS or LR or anything in the suite. Can you just block inbound and outbound of the parent folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\ without doing each program?
how to fix this problem in Mac?
very nice, still works in 2024.
very nice and simple tutorial for firewall. I have seen many vids that go "block with firewall" "...yeah how?"
Is this just Adobe Acrobat programs? I have older Adobe packages I bought outright years ago. I have had this message coming up constantly the past few weeks. So am unsure what actual adobe app it is referring to?
I did these steps and still it shows the prompt "Unlicensed Adobe Apps may expose your device to increased security risks" and then it tells me to buy Premiere Pro. Adobe's prices are ridiculous which is why I don't buy it. What to do next if the error is back?
go to program files (x86) - common files - adobe - adobeGCClient and change the extention names of the exe files
same. did you find a solution?
worked like a charm. i have spent more time looking for my keys than following these steps.
do you have to turn of the internet everytime? ofcourse either way it doesnt work
I am still facing same issue? any advise
Its not showing it anymore so is it good? Idk if its pulling a trick on me😂
Make sure your firewall protection is all active, turn these setting on ( domain, private, public )
Yes you are right! I followed all the steps, but it still didn't work for my Photoshop 2022. I thought it was a file problem because the same method worked for my Illustrator 2024, but not for my Photoshop 2022. However, once I turned my private and public firewall on, it worked! I had previously turned it off.
It's kind of weird because it works for Illustrator 2024 when the private and public firewall is off, but not for Photoshop.
@@abyson1561 It also worked for me Thank God I read ALL the comments
A little silly but when I have more than 3 documents open at the same time, clicking "more information" will prompt the app to save and close, I click yes and it only closed the 2 latest open files lol and then I can continue working.
This wasn't working for me until I realized that my client's computer had Avast AV with firewall. I had to add the blocks in that instead. The Windows firewall was not in use.
Does it work for adobe 2024 applications??
If it appears on all of my adobe programs, I should do this with them too? or if I do it only for photoshop, it will work for the rest too?
1:07 I don't have that advanced configuration option active. help
uninstall you antivirus
Is there a method that doesn't require me to go offline?
prefect! you saved so much time. thanks bro
Is it possible to have it in French ? My english it's not enought good. Thanks Merci
I did everything but it still is the same :( and there is no adobe integrity services on my pc..
remove the creative cloud, it's the damn source of all these things
@@KehindeAdio-q8ohow to do that?
Does it work for After Effects?
totally works thank you!
(I'm not a bot, it actually works! I will say something a bot would never say: don't buy crypto, they're all scam!)
Thanks! I downloaded prepatched versions and every one had the same problem.
