How to install & activate

(For v27.8.1)

NOTE:
You still have to turn off Gatekeeper first

Step 1: Download the installation file (recommended to use the latest version in the above links)

Step 2: Install Adobe ACC Runtime 2023.1.zip (38M) | OneDrive | Backup | Backup2

Step 3: Drag the Install file to the Application

Step 4: Open Terminal running the following command:

xattr -cr /Applications/Install.app

Step 5: Then run the Install file in Application> Select Install

Step 6: After running the Success report, open After Effect. A Login screen will appear like this

Anyone who has previously installed any other software in the Adobe suite will probably show the following screen, shelve it, select Quit

Step 7: Then go back to the installer, run the Patch file to the drug. If you encounter the following screen, enter the login password and select Alway Allow (can ask a few times)

You can then delete the Install file in the Application for lightness

That’s it. Those who cannot install it, be civilized, buy the license to support Adobe

I ask it because I followed all the steps I did a clean installation but when I open the install file I get the following message Error: Failed to launch task: The file “Setup” doesn’t exist and I can’t continue with the installation anymore

thanks for reply.

I managed to install Photoshop, Lightroom Classic and InDesign yesterday but when I got to Illustrator I got the 146 error code and now it seems like I can only install Illustrator but none of the other apps. How to I easiest install all of them without getting an error code?
