Block Adobe Photoshop CC activation outbound link using windows host file or firewall is a common question for everyone.
I am not a professional Graphic Designer, but sometimes I like to play with Adobe tools like Photoshop CC. As I don’t use it for professional works, I decided not to purchase it. Instead, I use the Trial version.
But almost everyone knows that Adobe allows a 30 Days Trial, then it will keep showing activation messages.
So, as a hobbyist Designer, how can I use Adobe Photoshop CC without activation? Yes, there is a way. You can use either Windows firewall to block all outbound links from Adobe, or you may also use Windows host file to block those URLs.
Today, I will not share how to block any software outbound link using Firewall because I don’t want to write a very long article. You can search on Google about how to block any software or block Adobe Photoshop CC using Windows Firewall.
Though it’s not a how-to design using Adobe photoshop, I assure you that these tricks will save your time.
Update Note: Many of my readers are asking for solutions to activate Adobe Photoshop and other adobe products like Adobe Premiere Pro, After effects, illustrator, etc. I know purchasing from the original vendor is quite expensive for us. That’s why we use almost all premium software for free. I will share the activation method below this post very soon.
By the way, You can use this method to block windows host for all Adobe software such as:
- Adobe Creative Cloud: Any Version
- Adobe Premiere Pro CC/CS Any Version
- Adobe After Effects CC/CS Any Version
- Adobe Photoshop CC/CS Any Version
- Adobe Lightroom CC/CS Any Version
- Adobe Illustrator CC/CS Any Version
- Adobe InDesign: CC/CS Any Version
- Adobe Animate: CC/CS Any Version

- And all of the Adobe software, of course, Any Version.
And you are looking for a way to block using Windows host files, and then this article is for you. Bellow, you will get a proper way to block Adobe Photoshop CC activation using Windows host file.
Step One: First, open your notepad using Administration permission. Please search for the notepad and right-click on it to see the option to run as Administration permission.

Adobe Photoshop CC for macOS
Normally on my Macbook Pro, I don’t use any Adobe product. But due to one of the projects, I had to install Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Illustrator CC on macOS. I tried so many resources and ways to activate Adobe photoshop on macOS but could not. Lastly, I found an awesome resource on MacSoftBox, a life-saving Adobe photoshop with pre-activated.
You can download Adobe Photoshop CC for macOS from the MacSoftBox.com website for free.
