Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended More L337 than CS3 (XP and Vista)

Ok, this is an awesome way to turn the free trial into the full version without downloading anything besides the free trial.

Step 1; Go to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ (you may have to create an account which does not effect anything except takes a few seconds) click on PHOTOSHOP CS4 EXTENDED then it will redirect you to the download page and select your language you want, preferably English. Click download to begin downloading.

Step 2; open windows explorer and then type on C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in the address bar and you will see a file called hosts, open this with notepad and copy this

Code:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97    rhino.acme.com          # source server
#      38.25.63.10    x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1      localhost

127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com

and paste it in there after deleting whats already there

Now open CS4 and it should work fine

If any problems show up i can easily tell you how to fix them (about this) and i would greatly apreaciata you telling me you have any problems.

Cheers
