Disable Activation Cmd Adobe. You can disable Adobe CS4 Activation Check by editing your windows “hosts” file. Quote: If you can't afford Adobe products, there are two options: 1. Buy the EDU version at a fraction of the retail cost – you need to be a student or know one willing to buy it for you. Adobe AIR Adobe After Effects CS5(if you have 64 bit). My install is on a 64 bit system. Download all the files. Program Files and Patch files. Open and extract the files. There are two folders. 'MASTER CS5-2' 'CS5 Patch' 1) Open the 'CS5 Patch' folder. Inside open the 'Disable Activation' and run the 'DisableActivation' file.(a small black cmd window will run).
