    Back in the day there used to be a patch that could block the app from communicating with adobe’s servers to verify the subscription.

    That might still exist in some form, but with all of phthoshops new AI features I’d imagine that you’d need constant communication with those servers for the app to actually function.

    I’m sorry I didn’t provide any actual help.

      That takes me back…I used to work at a computer training company where we would build PC images with the trial versions of everything on them, and every 30 days we’d reimage the machines. The president of the company was shady af. I got out of there just as Adobe was making the transition to subs. I do not miss explaining to the class attendees why everything was watermarked as trail versions.
