I’ve used various versions of Creative Cloud patchers over the years, and the latest iteration does the job—sort of. It successfully blocks the Adobe license verification servers via the hosts file and patches the apps.json file to trick the Creative Cloud desktop app into thinking trials are still active.
Initially, the patch worked. I had Photoshop for three days. On day four, my bank called about fraudulent charges. I ran Malwarebytes, and it found three separate trojans embedded in the patcher .exe. The patcher wasn't just cracking Adobe; it was mining crypto in the background and keylogging my passwords.
If you absolutely must use it, run it inside a Windows Sandbox or a VM. Do not run this on your main machine unless you like reinstalling Windows.
