Adobe CS5 Master Collection SN block-script [MAC Only][SPTeam]

Torrent downloaded from
http://scenepeople.info


This is for the Mac. NOT for Windows. Please keep Windows discussions off this thread.

Follow the included instructions and you're good to go. If you're having problems with the serial, remember to install as a trial first, then use the serial when you first run a CS5 app. If you haven't downloaded CS5 yet, get it from Adobe for free: http://www.adobe.com/ap/downloads/

A note about the included Block Adobe Activation script:
The app will block the same servers used for CS4. Not one new server is needed. If you already have blocked Adobe before on your machine, you can skip it.

Yes there are bigger lists out there. They will prevent you from being able to get updates, use Adobe Live, get additional content or get additional help or visit Adobe community forums.
You can safely update your apps, they will not get blocked. All the necessary servers are blocked by the script. Anything else if optional, it will not invalidate your serial, ever. I promise.
And let's all thank thebug for the script. I added the dialog boxes but he did all the hard work!

FYI, the serials are good for any of the following apps, if it's not listed, it probably won't work:

Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 Extended
Adobe® Illustrator® CS5
Adobe® InDesign® CS5
Adobe® Acrobat® 9.3 Professional
Adobe® Flash® CatalystTM CS5
Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5
Adobe® Flash® BuilderTM 4 Standard
Adobe® Dreamweaver® CS5
Adobe® Fireworks® CS5
Adobe® Contribute® CS5
Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS5
Adobe® After Effects® CS5
Adobe® Soundbooth® CS5
Adobe® OnLocationTM CS5
Adobe® Encore® CS5
Adobe® Bridge CS5
Adobe® Device Central CS5
Adobe® Media Encoder CS5
Adobe® Extension Manager

Please do NOT post serials on this thread. They are made public and will be blacklisted.

For all of you that have problems with installation
I thought it would be useful to post step by step installation instructions. I already posted them at the "Adobe CS5 Master Collection [MAC]" torrent on The Pirate Bay. In particular read the "REMOVE....." section of this post if you have problems with your Adobe installations. With respect to where to go for your installation packages: I prefer to get them from the torrents. They are the same as what you download from the Adobe website. However, there has been some discussion on Demonoid about Adobe matching registration info with your IP address when you download the package. I'm not sure about the validity of this claim but I prefer to play safe and get the packages via torrents.

If you follow the steps below you will not have to run the "Block Activation" script included in this torrent. Basically the "Terminal", "TextEdit" and "Finalize Adobe CS5 Installation" steps below guide you manually through the automated "Block Activation" script. Please install CS5 in the way that you prefer.

You may notice below that I recommend to "turn off Airport" during installation and to run "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache" after updating the /etc/hosts file. I'm not sure if these steps are necessary but I recommend to do so anyway. Also notice the link to Acrobat 9 Pro at the bottom of the post:

REMOVE OLD ADOBE INSTALLATIONS (IF APPLICABLE) BEFORE INSTALLING ADOBE CS5
Remove the following Adobe applications, folders and files before installing the Adobe CS5 Master Collection (but check notes below this list first):
/Applications/Adobe... (everything with Adobe)
/Library/Application Support/Adobe
/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe... (everything with com.adobe)
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat
~/Library/Preferences/Acrobat
~/Library/Preferences/Acrobat Distiller Prefs
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe... (everything with Adobe)
~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe... (everything with com.adobe)

A few notes:
- / is the system root folder (which you can find in Finder by clicking on the hard drive icon at devices)
- ~ is the User folder (which you can find in Finder by clicking on the home icon at places)
- I strongly recommend to delete the "/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher" and "/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher" folders if you have old Adobe applications installed. Keeping an old version of this folder can cause a variety of licensing errors. It will automatically be regenerated with the CS5 installation.
- Obviously, if you're attached to your old Adobe application preferences, don't delete the preferences files in the system and User libraries. There is no harm in doing so, they'll be automatically regenerated but by deleting them you will loose your user preferences. I prefer to start with a clean system but that may not be the case for everybody.

INSTALLATION OF ADOBE CS5
Disconnect from network/internet (Turn AirPort Off). Double click "CS5_Master_Collection.dmg" to install the Adobe CS5 Master Collection. Whilst installing CS5, ensure that you choose "Install this product as a trial" and DO NOT enter any serials. If you've already installed CS5 applications using a serial, load any of the installed CS5 applications and select Help > Deactivate. Quit all of the installed CS5 applications.

TERMINAL
Launch a Terminal window (in /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste:
sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts

Hit return and type your admin password.
The "hosts" file should automatically open in TextEdit.

TEXTEDIT
If the following lines are already part of the "hosts" file close it and continue with the "Finish" section. If not hit return (in the opened "hosts" file) and copy and paste following lines:
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com

Save the "hosts" file, DO NOT Save As?.

FINALIZE ADOBE CS5 INSTALLATION
In Terminal copy and paste:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

Hit return (and type your admin password if asked for it). The Adobe activation servers are now blocked.

FINISH ADOBE CS5 INSTALLATION
Launch any of the installed CS5 applications and enter a serial that is included in the torrent.

Connect back to network/internet (Turn AirPort On). You can start using CS5 applications.
Run any CS5 application > Help > Updates... multiple times until all installed Adobe CS5 applications are up to date.

ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO INSTALLATION
Download Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (not included in the CS5 torrent). On the Demonoid website search for "Acrobat Pro 9.0 + 9.1 Update + SN".
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro can be installed by double clicking "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.dmg". After installation is finished install the 9.1.0 update by double clicking the "AcroProUpd910_all.dmg" installation package.
Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and enter the serial that is included in the torrent.

Run Adobe Acrobat > Help > Check for Updates... multiple times until Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro is up to date.
