Reuse Adobe Photoshop CS5 Trial

Adobe Creative Suite 5 is very expensive package of Adobe's software, the people who cannot purchase the software can use trial version of CS5 but it gives only 30 days to use. It expires after 30 days and cannot be used again. Here is the solution by Apps-Blogger+ but make sure that atleast one day should be remain of trial. You have to follow these steps to reuse the Photoshop CS5:

>>Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD

  
Adobe PCD folder

>>Delete the file named “pcd”
>>Open the “cache” folder
>>Delete the file named “cache”
>>Edit your “Hosts” file to prevent your Adobe CS5 programs from communicating with Adobe.

Navigate to Computer -> Local Disk (C:) -> Windows -> System32 -> Drivers -> etc -> hosts.

You will need to change the security of the hosts file in order to edit it. Right click it, select properties and then select the security tab. You will need to grant regular users “Full Control” in order to edit this file.

WARNING: You should remove these full control privileges from the regular users group after editing the file for system security purposes.


Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com


This essentially tells your computer that when you attempt to navigate to either activate.adobe.com or practivate.adobe.com, rather than being directed to those addresses, your computer will loop that navigation back to itself, and your Adobe programs will fail to reach the adobe activation destination. “127.0.0.1″ is your computers own loopback IP address.

I’m actually not sure if that whole hosts file editing part is absolutely necessary, but it doesn’t seem like it could hurt. I’m not sure if Adobe attempts to keep track of trial users on their end.



30 days Trial showing window

Now the next time you open an Adobe CS5 program, you will be prompted to accept the license agreement and start a new trial.
