Personally I also manually eradicate the Macrovision "FLEXnet Licensing Service" license manager service that Adobe is installing with their products, because it's probably the root of all activation evils: You can also run "msconfig" and verify in the Startup tab that you didn't forget anything. delete any Adobe icon there if there's any. In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunĪnd HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunĪlso check the start menu, All programs, Startup. (don't worry if a few cannot be deleted because they're still in use)īoth branches HKLM\Software and HKCU\SoftwareĪlso, remove anything referencing Adobe in It's also a good opportunity to delete all temporary files located in %Tmp% and %SystemRoot%\System32\Temp Note: Vista 64-bit users also need to do the same in %ProgramFiles(x86)%ĭo the same in %CommonProgramFiles% - and %CommonProgramFiles(x86)% on Vista 64-bit If it tells you the directory cannot be deleted because files are in use, rename it to "xxx" and you'll be able to delete "xxx" after the next reboot. Go into %ProgramFiles% and eradicate any directory called Adobe.
