Simplest way to crack Photoshop CS3 Beta and get rid of the trial period
Dear god..... if that works adobe need to open there eyes a bit..
on
do u think it will work???hope it works ..m really in need of it!
on
I can't find that file you said I have to change.
on
hey pimpin it did work ur a genius
on
If u try it u should know it DOESN'T WORK... it just crashes right after....
on
wait, this shouldnt be possible. I read that adobe set cs3 b1 to lock up if u messed with it.
I dont see why it wouldnt lock it up with this.
BTW- does this work with the 2 day trial? or do u have to have a cs2 key?
Im not wasting $ on CS2, so I would be doing it with the 2 day trial.
If this does work, then i will cry
-and laugh
on
Yup It Works just fine ^_^

on
Wow this works thanx soooo much your awesome.
on
WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!!
THANK YOU
ADOBE OPEN YOUR EYES!!
on
Dude! You are the man!!! And Adobe don't open your eyes this is great!!! HAHA
on
this crack REALLY works. i downloaded the two day trial from the adobe website and cracked it using the instructions provided... it's been about 5 days now and photoshop is working just fine. THANKS!!!
on
Mine died on me, started wanting a serial number. Figured out a little workaround though.
Start up CS3, it will wait about 5 or 10 seconds before it asks for the serial and forces you to enter one. Click on Help -> About Photoshop quickly before it prompts you, then wait a moment, click on the box to make it disappear, and then repeat. You should then be able to use CS3 (working so far after about 3 hours)
on
Wow! It works. It REALLY works! Thank you. Thank you! Greetings from America.
I'm going to bookmark your blog and read it often. Thank You.

Where can I find this on a Macintosh?
on
I am NOT sure about MAC - as I don't use one :)
Can someone else confirm if this works on Mac too?
Cheers!!

on
nops, doesnt work on mac....
File/ folder doesnt exist, must be under other name.
on
Well it works, but try to change system time for about half a year and you realize it doesn't work.
on
I edited the file name, however when i opened photoshop it says its missing a file and wont load. any idea what went wrong?
on
It WORKED!!!! Your a genius!!
on
The crack has worked for almost everyone I know off...
Maybe you updated the PS3 to the latest edition and Adobe must have fixed it :(
on
It does work on a Mac, too:
Go to Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3 (the application file itself).
Right click on the app, and choose “Show package contents”.
In the new window, go to Contents/Resources/AMT/, and change the name of “application.sif”, just the same way as on Windows.
This has just worked for me on an Intel Core Duo MacBook running 10.4.8, on a CS3 trial downloaded from Adobe earlier today.
Thank you very much for the tip :)
on
WOW!!!
That's really cool. So we have the crack working for MAC too.
I'll post a seperate article on this.
Thanks mate for the find!!
on
WOW! It works! holy crap! Thnx man!
on
Yeeeeehaaaaaaa it works just fine thanks partner.Try cracking the other big softwares.
on
yahha!!!! Great great great!
Thx for sharing !
on
Many thanks Genius!

After renaming the application.sif file to application.sif_, the cs3 expired in 30 days. Rename the file name back to application.sif and open the CS3, it will as for the key. Quit CS3 and rename the file back to application.sif_. You can use it again.
on
Flippin eck Jason, its brilliant!
Had to try it couple of times, but it does really work
on
I tried it and it worked first time. It's crazy! I hope it lasts. Even if it doesn't, I guess as long we keep changing the file name backwards and forwards it will always work (as long as we don't update the software! Otherwise Adobe's fix will kick in.)
Well done Jason!
on
it worked ! =)
i renamed the extension 1st
it worked but error came and i had to close.
then i renamed the file back correctly and got trial expired..
i renamed the file not the extenxion and it worked i think ..let's see..going do some pro painting thanks a million
on
OMFG... WoW.. you're the king man... This shit really works...
on
Awesome dude, all the years I been around Adobe and using cracks etc. nothing has never been so simple. Took awhile to find site here though lol. Hope the renaming back and forth work if problems arise. Thanks again.
on
Dude, you are THE man, this works so god damn fine.
/bow thanks a million!
on
Your are a genius, great hack. I just used it on my MacBook. I was so frustrated with the 2 day trail. High Five and Mad Props.
on
Oh wow you`re so awesome. Worked PERFECTLY.
on
Is there a crack for Adobe Lightroom Mac OSX?
on
I am NOT aware of it :)
Cheers!!

on
would u happen 2 know how to get rid of the free trial in photoshop 7.0?
on
perfect. Thanx
on
tried it and it worked, but changed the system date and the licence expired..... is there a way to get around this...?
on
downloaded it and tried the first time by renaming the file to application.sif_ , but when I changed the system date 2 months ahead it said licence expired.... so I went back and remaned the file application.sif_cracked and when I did that the actual file typed changed from .sif file to SIF_cracked file and when I changed the sytem date ahead again it worked ok.....
on
can this work on illustrator as well?
on
how do i know if this worked for me or not
on
It works! You are a legend :)
on
This doesnt work! changed the date on my pc to 2008 and it deleted the renamed .sif file and said my product was no longer valid.. :) Nice try but it don't work.... goods news is you can chnage the date back and it will create a new .sif and doesnt fubar the whole install
on
Hi,
It has definitely worked for me and a whole host of people that I know and those who have commented above.
So there is NO reason why it didn't work for you :(
Anyways,
All De Best
on
Im sure theres many reaason why it doesnt work for some. I can remove the file completely - change the year and it will say licenese expired.
on
Just helping out anyone looking for the fix when CS3 discovers that it has been cracked and dies: try what Sean said at 3/02/2007 12:18 PM. renaming the sif file twice did the trick for me too!
on
so why does'nt removing the file Completely fix it? chnage the date to the same month next year and bham it won't load :(
on
Ok it really works. someone posted this on the opinions page for fdm. Now i hav photoshop for free. muahahaha
on
You are a great Man. You can work Adobe Company for Searching Errors in Software pakages. Thanx Dears. Your Crack is Working. Thank You Again.

sweet i dd this like a few months ago and realised i couldnt luanch anymore,so its easy what i did, i just renamed it back to its old name (application.sif) and then ran the program, then iit asked to me add the key then u just quit, and rename it over again(application.sif_) and then u shude work again
on
ALL READ THIS
After following Jason S steps you may find that Photoshop may not start again after a few days. An anonymous comment resolved it nicely:
Just renamed the file back to its old name "application.sif" and start Photoshop, it will asked to add the key, u just quit. Rename the file again to "application.sif_", thats all.
WELL DONE!!

Where can I find the \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\AMT????????
on
How do I resave the \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\AMT?
HELP!!!
on
excuse me....I just have to ask..is this possible to do with cs2?
on
Hi Gaurav,
Sorry. This technique doesn't work for CS2 :(
Cheers!!
Jason S
on
Hey man,
You are my guru from now ;)
on
I just installed the cs3 trial version for my mac, and will use the renaming technique you described. What i need to know is should i run the cs3 by clicking the 30 day trial, then do the rename to deactivate it, or should i use the rename before ever running the trial?
on
wow....it worked
n_s_s_prashanth@yahoo.com
on
This worked awsome 4 my mac hanx a ton
on
Okay, so this crack works great for a while, but then after a few weeks photoshop suddenly won't launch. I think its time to look for more permanent solutions...
on
it worked! omg! ive been wanting to have adobe photoshop all my life and now i do! im getting sick of always donwloading new photoshops every month! thanks to you i wont anymore!! yay! you made my day!!!:) hope this one last!:)
on
Worked perfectly on a MACINTOSH (intel MBP):
Go to Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3 (the application file itself).
Right click on the app, and choose “Show package contents”.
In the new window, go to Contents/Resources/AMT/, and change the name of “application.sif”.
You are a legend. Thanks.
on
worked for me! Thanks alot!
on
You absolutely rock! Thanks a lot for this.
on
you da mann!!
on
thanks its worked but some of m plug-ins are not working is this normal??
on
Hi Dean,
All my plug-ins worked!! Maybe your plug-ins weren't compatible for the CS3.
Cheers!!

dude u r f-n amazing i should almost like pay u
on
Cool! it works with me! ur genius!!thank u so much
on
could someone pls quote what the original post was?
on
Thanks man, downloaded the 30 day trial and got only 2 days trial. I did NOT download the beta. (Previous cs2 trial install messed it up...)
Now I can try it for the 30 days, really cool thanks.
on
I did the application.sif_
thing but now, almost a month
later, it says 'product license has expired' can you PLEASE help?
I tried renaming it back to .sif
and then opening, quitting, and then sif_ again. but it comes up with the same error.
i use windows.
please help!
on
That's because it doesn't work after June 1st. Too bad. Does anyone know anyother way?
on
The only way to fix this is to set your date on your computer back to June 1, 2007 and open up PS... and then you can change it back.
on
i am having the same problem i installed cs3 extended i dont know if it works for both but i renamed the file and it says licese expired....do i reinstall it? or what can i do...plz help
on
Never mind I got it to Work!!! I have the extended version...what i did was download the extended trial version and got a serial skipped the activation and then used a cracked photoshop.exe i got from torrentspy and it worked I have the Extended version of photoshop now.......and i have no clue i did it...lol...untill i no longer saw the activation coming out. and asking for the serial
on
When 'product licence expired' announcement is your problem, just put back your computers date a few months. I created a batch file to do this every time I start photoshop. You can do this by yourself.
Open notepad. Create start_photoshop.bat with these lines:
@echo off
date /T >> c:\users\yourname\datum.txt
date 01-01-2007
start photoshop.exe
type c:\users\yourname\datum.txt
date
del c:\users\yourname\datum.txt
exit
You change ‘yourname' into you own directory of course, doesn't matter which dir. After that create (Vista) a shortcut and go to 'properties -> advanced' so you can start the program with administrator-rigths (otherwhise vista can't change the date). If it doensn't work make sure your dosprompt starts with administrator rights too.
Once you've done this, start photoshop via this shortcut. Photoshop will start while your date is automatically changed. After photoshop is loaded completely, change your date back to the old date.
Of course you have to start photoshop this way instead of clicking a psd-file.
on
Nice one that worked great.
Thank you again
on
Too bad! Google removed the content before I could read it!
on
hi all! I use mac and i downloaded the extended version, the beta ver is impossible to find now. I tried to rename the sif file, and photoshop says that he can start. i tried also to modificate the file photoshop cs3 with a hex editor a a lot of people say on the web...but it doesn't work. what should i try? find a working serial...is it impossible?
on
good news
thank you
on
hi, these line commands can be used in another software, like adobe premiere???
i had the same problem "expired licence" with adobe premiere cs3 pro.
if possible, answer me how to resolve it.
thanks a lot.

Somewere else I read about a program called "RunAsDate v1.01 - Run a program with the specified date/time"... Do you know it? People say it's very useful!!!
on
Yes i've used RunAsDate and it's very useful. It removes the date expiration of my Photoshop CS3,Bridge CS3. You can run the program on specified date without changing your PC clock. You can get the utility just use google to search, there are currently available torrent download for RunAsDate.

Google has removed the instructions. How does one get rid of the trial period expiration for Windows, illustrator CS3 and InDesign CS3? Sonny
on
haiz..google already remove how to crack adobe..can you email me please...really appreciate it

Here's a modified version of what I made before... Now it closes after a countdown from 15 and changes your date back to the current date so while you're working in photoshop your system date isn't foobared.
Again just copy and paste it into notepad and save it on your desktop as whateveryouwant.bat
If you have a site where I can upload my files I'll send you a better version.
