1. Uninstall previous versions of the Creative Suite, then use the included Cleanup Tool to remove any lingering traces from your hard drive. 2. Use the Adobe Activation Blocker utility to modify or reset your hosts file. 3. Install the software in Trial mode. 4. Serialize the software with one of the supplied serial numbers. NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "FULL" INSTALL SERIAL NUMBERS, AND "UPGRADE" SERIAL NUMBERS! Pick one from whichever section is appropriate for you. 5. Note: Once you've installed the software, you may be prompted to enter an Adobe ID. Whether you choose to do so or not is entirely up to you; the Adobe Activation Blocker utility should keep you protected in that regard, and you will still be able to install software updates and access online help without signing in with an Adobe ID. 2.1 sudo nano /private/etc/hosts 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.adob...
