Adobe Photoshop 2018

Fist of all download 2018 version, you can google for it or you can use this Adobe Photoshop 2018 direct links.

Then 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.

1. You can navigate there with this command:

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

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

open -a TextEdit application.xml

3. Now find the TrialSerialNumber Data key:

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

4. And increment this number by one:

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

Now you can try to run Photoshop, if it works you are done, if not continue.

5. Delete content of folder SLCache and SLStore

/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/SLCache
/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/SLStore

6. Delete hidden files that look like this .G6A4G0095A60, .2RC5B2105A60, .A1C6B5105G64
