[HACK Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC (2018) 11.8.5 Crack
Hanne Rylaarsdam
I've been searching the forums and Google for what seems like weeks trying to make sure that everything is going to be compatible with High Sierra before I pull the trigger and upgrade. All of the threads are clogged up with people using old version of either CS or CC before the latest app releases. So the question I and everyone I know wants to know is:
Hard to believe it has been a week and no one - not even Adobe - has responded to this question? I'm not upgrading to High Sierra until I'm sure it won't take down my production machine. If you're using CC (2018) with High Sierra, please post your experiences. And Adobe moderators, please help me out here. The new Mac OS 10.13 offers space saving and other efficiency features I'm ready to take advantage of. Help.
I have updated my iMac 27 "Retina to High Sierra, and none of Adobe's programs work properly for me now. Lightroom has trouble loading and Premiere Pro CC 2018 is almost impossible to open. When the program finally opens, there are issues with the audio. The program can not find a valid audio source. In addition, Premiere Pro crashes 9 out of 10 times when importing files or colorgrading.
Adobe. Help. Please. There are 10s if thousands of us waiting for this answer. All while paying $1,000 per year. These are the tools we use. This is the main platform the runs your software. PLEASE conduct yourselves accordingly or just give us some hope? Rant over.
One point, however, when I upgraded the apps to 2018, the old apps in the menu bar (do we still call these 'alias?) did not change, so I obviously 'poofed' them and added the 2018 apps to the menu bar - perhaps that was the problem some were having, trying to run OS HS with the 2017 apps?
"I would stay on Sierra if there's no concrete reason for you to update. This is coming from someone who always tells people to update and who is usually on the newest beta on all of my Apple devices!"
Hey, wondering if anybody on here can help me. I have been looking in to buying the latest iMac 27" 5k for design work (mainly photoshop, illustrator and painter) however after seeing this forum I am very hesitant - nearly 3000 is a lot of money to invest when you're not sure it will work effectively with adobe CC especially as I will be relying heavily on it to create work to sell as a freelancer.
hold times are crazy and also lower level phone support is very misinformed. cost me time and money and gave ALL inaccurate info!! higher ups are better but still not great. ask for senior tech immediately.
I have OS 10.12.6 and can't open Bridge 2018. The termination reason is that a DYLD, (0x1) Library missing. I check Adobe's site and haven't found any compatibility information for Bridge 2018. Would it make sense to have the compatibility requirements posted before releasing the software??
I had just swapped my old iMac for a newer one with High Sierra 10.13 (due to a bad screen on the old iMac) and now none of my old backed up ADOBE apps will open. I had them backed up Both with Time Machine and a drag and drop method on the external backup drive. When I click on any app I get the below error. Still trying to figure out a solution.
I have upgraded to High Sierra and the new version of CC. I'm not very happy. Before the new adobe update i was able to use premiere with AVCHD files without having to convert them. So I had a shoot this past weekend and was super excited to jump into editing, well my video files show up but not my audio. I did have another source of audio, but this makes me mad because i need the camera audio to sync the files.
I did some research online earlier and came to the conclusion that with Adobe CC 2018 apps and OS High Sierra 10.13.1 installed there should be no compatibility issues. I updated this morning and have had absolutely no problems running Illustrator, Indesign or Photoshop. I believe as long as you've updated your Adobe apps to the 2018 versions, and your OS to 10.13.1 then you shouldn't experience any issues.
So a week on and I've still not experienced any issues and all Adobe CC apps are running smoothly. APFS means that working with files locally is much faster. I have to connect to a windows server for work and have had no problems with this either.
Thanks for reporting back, Dan. Even though both people are using MacBook Pros that are reporting no problems, I believe that my iMac (since it has an SSD) should not have a problem. But I'm still going to finish the projects I have on my table this week and take the plunge next.
I have a PC running Windows 8.1. It's an older PC, but it works perfectly. I have been using it as my main Photoshop station, with all the tools and displays needed to make the most of my images.
Because Adobe chose to drop support for Win8, I'm "stuck" on PS version CC 2018 (or 19.1.7 to be precise). And that is perfectly fine! Not one of the newer features that has been added to PS over the past years has been useful to me. On the contrary actually. (I sometimes use a laptop with the latest version, so I can compare.) There are even features removed (like the 3D filters, that would let you create bump- and normal maps for 3D models)!
Now to the problem: Today when I opened PS, it stated I did not have a valid license. After a long chat with customer support, it appears my version was discontinued. Out of the blue! Not one warning!
Their only "solution" was to update to Win 11 and use the latest version of PS. (Obviously not going to do that.) They then directed me here, to try and sort things out.
I want to know how I can get a working license for the software that is installed on my PC, that runs perfectly (if I choose to "start a 7-day trial"), and that I pay a monthly subscription fee for.
The way I percieve this is that Adobe now finally dropped Win8 completely, and does this by simply not allowing users to activate the license. For what reason? Why not let us users keep using an older version if we so choose?
No one on this forum can see your billing details or help you to sort this out. Only Adobe Customer Care has access to your records. The volunteers on this forum cannot override anything Adobe says. Contact Adobe Customer Care again and this time get a case number at the beginning and ask for Tier 2 support.
Thanks for the reply.
I have been on the Photography Plan since 2015, when I got the PC in question. Creative Cloud is up to date and works fine (I can run Bridge from it, see my software plans and so on). It's just PS that isn't able to get a license.
When I click "purchase a new subscription" for CC 2018, when prompted to license the software, I get taken to a missing (404) webpage.
I will ask for a Tier 2 support, thank you.
@matsholmberg there are no licenses - it is subscription only. Go to and validate that you do have an active subscription. If you don't all you need to do is re-subscribe to the Photography plan and you should be able to continue to use CC2018.
Got a phonecall from customer service. The answer from Adobe is that my issue is due to Windows Update patching certain parts of the OS which causes the licence check to fail. Since they removed support for Win8, they will not adress this issue.
If this is indeed the case, I can understand why Adobe would drop support, since it would require them to keep up with every old OS... How many still use Photoshop on Win8? I guess not many. (Would be nice to know if any more people has run into this particular problem, and if someone has managed to find a solution.)
I'll go over my options and post again if I manage to somehow solve this. Otherwise I guess it's over form PS CC 2018, which has served me well over the years.
I'm in the exact same boat as the OP - even had the same treatment from support (i.e. they sent me here), except I'm trying to use Lightroom Classic CC. I'm not clear on how reinstalling CC2018 will help. Won't I still need to be able to activate a license? And won't that fail? The icing on the cake was when I asked if there was a way to simply get my software working again or if I should just cancel my subscription, and the only response was support offered to transfer me to someone who could cancel my subscription for me. Nice.
The part where the issue is with their license server and they referred me to this community forum for support for a problem with their license server refusing to authorize my existing previously working software. I don't think any part of the problem the OP and I are experiencing has anything to do with Windows 8. It has to do with Adobe's license server refusing to authorize a subscription for an older version of software. I'm pretty confident (although I can't test it), that if I installed the exact same version of Lightroom on a Windows 10 PC, I'd have the same issue. The issue is with them refusing to authorize a license for an older version of their product. I'm a professional software developer. I understand dropping support for older versions and OS's. I'm not complaining about that. My beef is that, from my perspective, they have arbitrarily and intentionally disabled my working software without any notice or announcement and when I asked them where the notification was, the response was to offer to cancel my subscription. That isn't a customer-focused approach.
How do I download Catalina, when I last checked if it had any software updates available, it stated it had none...is there a way to double check and see if I can try to download Catalina a different way?
FYI, I just picked up a Late 2012 11" MacBook Pro and put Catalina on it. Adobe still supports partially Catalina in the ACC app. You can install Photoshop, Bridge, InDesign, Illustrator but oddly not Lightroom. You get older versions like PS 22.2 and Bridge 12 but they run fine.
Hi there, I have the exact same problem! I just bought another full year adobe cloud license abo, but with this new license my old photoshop (CC2018) doesn't work anymore... well, only as "7-day test version". Thing is: The day before prolonging the license it did work flawlessly. No notice, no warning. (cursing removed) Adobe, I had been paying for licenses the past 15 years and now I get kicked out just because I am still using my old computer with the old software (flawlessly! up until now).
