So I've heard that if you dl the trial version of saaay Adobe Illustrator you can later find some sorta key gen or crack code to keep the program running after the trial period has expired.

is this how it works and if so.. how do I do this?

Also, will having a trial package and then trying to use a torrent copy work? I've heard that some trial programs will put extra files on yer computer that will prevent instillation of an illegal dl...

any info on this subject would help as I've come to like Illustrator and want to keep it but fuck paying all that money.
 
It is really common to find a "not so legal" torrent that are ALREADY cracked, and then some include a key.
Search around, they are pretty easy to find.

Make damn sure your computer is protected if your going to be downloading random torrents tho!
 
I'm aware of all that. I have a Mac so viruses aren't a huge concern, but my computer it protected despite that.
 
You can usually search the name of whatever software you want (like adobe illustrator) and add the word keygen to the end of the search and you'll find a lot of sites where you can get product key generators (key gens). A lot of programs you can use for free on trail bug you about a product key to continue using it after maybe 15 or 30. What you want to do is use the number letter string that your keygen gave you and paste it where they ask for the product key.
keygen.nl is a decent place to get keygens if I remember right...
 
Sounds like you've got everything under control. But for future reference you're better off just finding a torrent of the program in question and downloading through a proxy for anonymity. Keygens and serials are becoming a lot less common now that pirates give you cracked versions 'out of the box' as it were.
 
Ok mouse heres one for you!
HOW IS STEALING SOFTWARE FROM DEVELOPERS ANY DIFFERENT THAN ME STEALING A KAYAK?

maybe if she was walking into Outdoor World and walked out with a kayak. instead, she's just making an exact copy of the kayak the store sold. dont sound like theft to me :D

or am i posting in a troll thread? i think i was just trolled.
 
I pirate software all the time, it should all be open source with ads anyway. Fuck paying $300 bucks for a word processor or anything else for that matter.
You should be able to find a cracked .exe to run the program, or maybe someone uploaded their serial. The thing to remember is: IF YOU USE A CRACK AND UPDATE YOU"LL HAVE TO FIND A NEW CRACK FOR THAT VERSION, IF YOU USE A "FREE" SERIAL DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS YOU WANT THE FEDS KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR. thepiratebay.org is a pretty good torrent site. What I like about them is they rate users so you know who's 'trusted'.If you still need any help Mouse PM me.
 
Torrents are cool, but if you don't know how to properly set up your client bittorrent will definitely fuck with your router/modem to the point where you'll have to reset it.

I recommend searching reliable warez sites. Unfortunately google isn't a good way to find them since searching for "warez" just brings up a bunch of malware sites.

Go to warez-bb.org and sign up for an account. They are extremely reliable and I've been on their site for about 5+ years.

Search for adobe Photoshop or whatever and use the links to download the stuff you want. 99% of the time there is a crack or keygen included that will activate the product, and instructions on how to use it.

Also, you can download the trial version, and search for the product name and "keygen" and there will be a few posts that contain JUST the keygen/crack.

Also, in the Photoshop realm, you might just want to search for "Photoshop portable". This is a cracked version that requires no activation or installation. Just put it somewhere on your hard drive, and create a shortcut to it on your desktop.

Although, if you're looking at doing professional photography stuff (and I know you are) I'd just search for the "adobe creative suite master collection". It's going to take a long time to download, but it has EVERY adobe product, including adobe bridge, which is like picasa on steroids (and makes organizing your photos waaaay easier).

One last thing, if you want to learn how to use all this software really well, search for (again on warez-bb) "lynda *whatever software you want to learn* training videos" (or maybe leave "training videos" out). They make the best software training videos bar none and make it easy to learn new software.

Good luck, let me know if you have any other questions!
 
I totally forogt about this thread for a min. lol.

Thanks for all the helpful tips people! I do kinda have a clue what I'm doing but didn't know for sure if I was doing it the right way or not. looks like I've go this covered now!

And D, I think Dirty Rig put it pretty well :D
