Photoshop CS TDA serial key or number

fotoman

Ok… imanidiot (.com) and I don’t have a frigging clue, but at least I will admit my faults.

I too had the same problems and was working on a project and restarted the cs program right after mid night on Feb first, pulling my hair out trying to figure out “what the (F) did I delete?”

I had figured that if you set the clock back it worked, but what a hassle to go through that crap every time I need the program! (which is about every hour of my life)

I still have my first program, but the keyboard arrows (to make cropping easier) never worked, so I downloaded the paradox version and the keygen dll, but I can’t seem to get it.

Please help…. as a photographer, I am just begining to understand a little bit more each day, but a far stretch from the intelligence you all seem to offer.

If anyone has the time (and patience) to walk me through the entire process, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you! (p.s.) I could not find any “test” file, so would you please be more specific here too?

Bolter, what 3 files did you use?
I’m getting all confused on which files I have to overwrite and stuff…Here is the break down

I have the Paradox zip of PSCS…I extract the folder.
I now have a clean folder (nothing overwritten yet)…
Inside that folder is a crack containing 5 files…A file called paradox, a readme, the dll that begins with “A”, the one that begins with a “T”, & the dll that begins with a “E”.
Outside of the extracted PSCS folder I have the test.exe crack (downloaded from this site, not keygen.us). I also have the Adobe_Photoshop_CS_v8.0_Fixed.zip

1) I have overwritten the “A” & “T” files that are inside the PSCS folder with that crack that was already provided, then installed it…After I have done that, I ran the test.exe and patched the files…Problem not fixed.

2) I have also done the same as above, only overwritting the “A” & “T” files in the PSCS folder AFTER installation…Then I patched with test.exe…Problem not fixed…

3) I also did the same thing as 1, only instead of the provided crack, I used the Adobe_Photoshop_CS_v8.0_Fixed.zip. Again, same prob.

I do not know what is wrong. I have like given up…A program hasn’t pissed me off so much like this one has… >_<

Apparently this works better than the above turn-back-your-clock-use-crack method:

/quote
A) Via E2k or eMule you have to get these 2 files from SHAREREACTOR :

Adobe.PhotoShop.CS.8.0.ISO-TDA.ShareReactor.bin
Adobe.PhotoShop.CS.8.0.ISO-TDA.ShareReactor.cue

(with BOTH these files, your burning program, any, Nero or so, will be able to burn an autoexe CD, working swell)

use this permanent serial then

1131-1118-1023-7953-8858-7003

(please DO NOT use Paradox serials, beginning : 1045-NNNN-NNNN-…,they are for beta versions and last only 45 days. I tested the above serial on my computer, date at 2005 : PS still opens OK)

B) and also get this one :

adobe_cs_keygen.exe (may be under this name : Adobe Photoshop 8 CS Crack+Keygenerator)

At the end of the installer, Adobe asks for activation.
Choose the ‘activation by phone’ option, Adobe gives you another number
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Then use ‘adobe_cs_keygen.exe’ that will give you an answer number :
yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy

you type it to fulfill adobe’s request and the activation is done !

———————————————-

No use at all of any crack file ( AdobeLM.dll, emu.dll, Tw10122.dat etc.) from Paradox, you get the regular Adobe activation, CTRL key working, no Paradox splash screen, a complete CD, PROVIDED THAT YOU USE THE SERIAL 1131-1118-1023-7953-8858-7003)

———————————————-

Have a nice 2004.

george here had the best plan… why get a crack when you can get a completely legit version completely free? All you need is the midnight key generator, Nero 6 (also free, all you need is a serial number to activate it), and an installation CD.
I differ from george here, though.

First, eMule sucks. Second, the files he listed are no longer in operation on eMule sites, because eMule trackers are terrible.

Use BitTorrent. There are excellent .iso files on good BitTorrent trackers, such as suprnova.org, and BitTorrent is a better program, anyways. After you make an installation CD, run it. Use the KeyGen to get a serial number, and use it. End of story.
…
And make sure you share the CD with your friends, it makes breaking the law so much more fun!!!

The newbie guide to cracking photoshop!

Well.. this is inspired from george’s instructions, which have helped me solve my own problem. Owing my succesfull adobe registration to this page, I decided to contribute in return, and write it in a bit more detail for all you newbies out there who haven’t managed yet… f34r my l33t skillz (why yes, i am a geeky teenager, how did you guess?)

God i love making fun of my own stereotype!

Let’s go…

Needed bytes:
- Nero Burning rom or any other cd burning software
- Adobe.PhotoShop.CS.8.0.ISO-TDA.ShareReactor.bin (315 mb)
- Adobe.PhotoShop.CS.8.0.ISO-TDA.ShareReactor.cue (109 b)
- Adobe Photoshop Cs v8.0 (Activation Keygen By Midnight).exe (47 kb)

All these files are available on eMule and probably your favorite p2p program (which is not kazaa) aswell

Needed intelligence
- the serial 1131-1118-1023-7953-8858-7003 (thank george for that one, not me)
- your own intelligence, or that of another person if yours is not available at this present moment!

The steps “b” are optional

1. After downoading both bin and cue file on the same directory, open the cue file in nero and start burning.

1b. If you do not have the cue file (unimportant really, it is only giving instructions on how the bin file should be burned) open nero, do a file open, type all files (*.*) select the bin file and select as options “Binary” and “MODE1/2352” (got it?)

2. Make sure you uninstall photoshop CS completely (including removing registration data, shared files and what not).

2b. I have never passed the 30 day activation time so i do not know if the above is going to solve your problem! Can you install after the time is up? i don’t know! so if you have passed the 30 day registration date, and you can’t do the next step, maybe try and set the date back a bit before continuing..
as a LAST RESORT (if it still doesn’t work after you’ve tried every other possible alternative) you may also want to do start -> Run -> Regedit and check on HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE under Software > Adobe >Photoshop > 8.0 to see if there is anything there (apparently this is where registration data is stored), if there is, maybe deleting the registry folder 8.0 will help… i would not recommend doing this, especially if you have never delt with the registry. Besides, something tells me adobe is smarter that this and there is extra protection on the hard disk somewhere… you’ll probably end up making a mess!(export the registry fils as a backup may be a wise idea)

3. Install PS CS from your freshly burned cd… use the serial 1131-1118-1023-7953-8858-7003 (george.. you are the man!)

4. At the end, click the activation options

5. Select by telephone via the bla bla fancy word for having a robot answer you

6. Launch the midnight activation keygen you downloaded and enter your ACTIVATION NUMBER (the second one, don’t bother about the dashes if you don’t want to)

7. Sing “oh he’s a jolly good fella” after shreaking in joy from reading their “thank you” message!

8. Don’t forget to pay for that copy once you become a famous millionaire artist from creating amazing pictures! They deserve support from those of you who can afford it! Don’t you agree?

Well that’s it from me.. hope that helped you out at least a bit! Forgive my messed-up sense of humor that tainted the guide a bit, and forgive my somewhat questionnable english, for it is not my native language, would you believe!

Until next time, best photoshopping wishes from the crazy anonymous cracking guy

Holy crap! I’m so happy. I tried the zip from yafujifide and Photshop works perfectly. We’ll see about the 45 days and whether or not Paradox cracked it good or not.

Thanks again! I’m now on my way to computing as it should be.

(I’ll eventually pay Adobe for their Photoshop CS once it starts making me money. They totally deserve it! Amazing, amazing product!)

Thanks again.

P.S. Here’s what I did:

1. Uninstalled everything related to Photoshop CS and checked to see that the regedit file was clear of any instances of it as well.

2. Found this site and started drooling in sheer awe of all the information that my eyes craved to view! Haha!

3. Set my clock to January 31, 2004

4. Installed Photoshop CS with ImageReady.

5. It told me that my 2 day grace period had expired.

6. I started frettin’

7. I downloaded the file from http://www.funnylogic.com/misc/pscrack.zip

8. I unzipped (WinRar!!!!) the “pscrack.zip” and copied the “test.exe” and “emu.dll” files to the directory that I installed Photoshop in. (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS).

8. I double clicked the “test.exe” file.

9. I clicked the three little dots next to the box that said “Photoshop.exe” and doubled clicked “Photoshop.exe” in the “Open” pop-up dialogue box that popped up as a result of clicking the three dots. (…)

10. Then, I repeated the (…) clicking thing three more times. There are a total of four clicks that you have to do to the “Next” button on the “test.exe” program.

11. I double clicked “Photoshop.exe”

12. I started frettin’

13. It asked me about color something with my monitor…I said “No.”

14. I hit ctrl+n and then I started flippin’ out and screaming in exubearance!

15. I posted here (Well, not really, because in order for [post] to be in past tense I’d have to have already posted. I’m posting right now. But, to you, I already posted. And this is a long step, not really a step, more or less my thought process. But, yeah, the exubearance thing is still going on at this point! Woohoo!

16. I’m now going to use Photoshop until my shortcut-key-using fingers bleed!

Thanks guys!

Remember…1’s and 0’s are free!

gahh i forgot add something to my solution.
i’ll list it in steps for you again:

1. download pscs from any p2p fileshare, don’t dl the tryout because you can’t crack that one.

2. once you have the right version, set your clock back to january 2004 and install the program. if i’m not mistaken, it should come with a serial or keygen .txt file in the package. use that keygen to resume setup. if it doesn’t, go here, http://adobe.photoshop.cs.ssg.keygen.cracks.lomalka.ru/CRACKS/A/D/Adobe_Photoshop_CS_SSG_Keygen.en.html. click out of all the “dl xxx” boxes and hit “the special button” to dl the serial. input it and setup should continue.

3.at the end of setup, it will prompt you to activate it. hit cancel, don’t bother with that crap.

4. go to http://adobe.photoshop.cs.v8.0.fixed.by.paradox.cracks.lomalka.com/CRACKS/A/D/Adobe_Photoshop_CS_v8.0_Fixed_by_Paradox.en.html and download the zip file. becareful cause you’ll get a crap load of “download xxx shit”. just cancel all of those out and hit “the special button”, that will dl the zip file with the crack. don’t open to location, save it to your desktop.

5. make sure you’re not running pscs at all. there sould be 3 files (AdobeLM.dll, emu.dll, and Tw10122.dat), extract those files to the Photoshop CS (where it’s installed) directory on your comp.

6. with me so far? good. you should be able to run pscs fine now BUT, you still have to deal with no shortcuts and date changing. go to http://www.anycracks.com/?crc_id=271196 and hit “download”. its a small file, you need to have the winrar utility to extract the file.

7. with your system date still set to january 2004, extract it to the Photoshop CS directory and run the patch. you will be prompted to patch four files (Photoshop.exe, Imageready.exe, AdobeLM.dll, and Tw10122.dat). patch all four successfully and now you can change your computer’s date back to normal.

8. run photoshop and you will have a full running version with everything enabled and working properly! no more changing dates, your shortcuts work, its all good…

Hey, I got it working! Yes! I used the instructions given in the post here under “If You’re Still Having Trouble”. But, I will elaborate for those who don’t get it. :)

I ran both PS and ImageReady and both seem to work fine. My trial had already expired (because of the dumb crack I tried to use, it expired the trial before I could even try it), so it looks like this solution will work for anybody.

I will use shortforms to refer to certain things, look at the legend for filenames, sizes, and urls.

There are 3 numbers involved with this installation. I’ve marked them, (1,2,3) to avoid confusion.

Legend:

Bin
Adobe.PhotoShop.CS.8.0.ISO-TDA.ShareReactor.bin (315MB)

Cue
Adobe.PhotoShop.CS.8.0.ISO-TDA.ShareReactor.cue

DT
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/portal.php

eMule
http://www.emule-project.net/

KG
adobe_cs_keygen.exe (47KB)

PS
Photoshop CS, of course

Instructions:

1. Download DT from the link given above, it’s free, and install.

2. Get on eMule.

eMule is a P2P program, kind of like Kazaa, if you know what that is.

Go there, download the program and get on the server. Use the eMule instructions, it’s not too difficult.

If you’re using a router or firewall (or both), you’ll want to turn them off, or try and configure them according to the eMule instructions. Otherwise, download takes FOREVER that normally takes minutes on a high-speed connection.

3. Do a search to get three different files: Bin, Cue and KG. Ignore files that do not have the above file sizes, don’t download them, they’ll be useless to you. :)

4. Open DT. From within DT (look in the taskbar for the icon to click on), open the Bin.

- Virtual CD/DVD-ROM > Device > Count Image > Select the Cue file.

5. PS install program will run. Click on the text at the top to install PS.

6. It will ask you for a number (1). Give it this:
1131-1118-1023-7953-8858-7003

You can enter whatever you want, only first name and last name are required, but since you aren’t actually registering this with Adobe, you can enter anything.

7. Click on activation options and select “activation by phone”.

8. The PS installer will give you a number:
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (2)

9. Open KG. Enter the (2) number. KG gives you a number (3):
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

Give PS the number (3).

10. Send the webmaster e-kisses (or hugs or….) for having this page up and “share the love” with Adobe when you’ve got the dinero.
