Modify Photoshop to never ending trial

How Does It Work

All you have to do, to extend your trial period, is change number in TrialKey element in application.xml. This file is located in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop/AMT. You can navigate there with this command:

cd /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Adobe\ Photoshop\ */AMT

Then you have to open the file and edit it. You can use just TextEdit app.

open -a TextEdit application.xml

Now find the TrialSerialNumber Data key:

<Data key="TrialSerialNumber">911997074887979240115317</Data>

And increment this number by one:

<Data key="TrialSerialNumber">911997074887979240115318</Data>

And that’s it. Now when you relaunch Photoshop you will be prompted to login and you should see fresh 7 days of trial.

It asks us for payment method and card details, what do we do with it? Isn't there a way to delete this trial period full text using a cmd file like Microsoft Office?

Hello to anyone visiting this thread in 2025.

Following up on my previous comment, this still works. The website I linked above no longer hosts adobe programs but you can find them on the internet archive.

When you download the trials you want to create a windows firewall rule that basically stops any exe in any of the adobe folders from accessing the internet. This way you don't have to create a CC account at all you can just select "sign in later".

At this point I have been doing this for around 4 years and since none of the adobe programs can access the internet I have never had any issues.
