Overview

Software protection emulator for Adobe products.
The tool implements all necessary fucntions required by Abobe’s apps activation and features unlocking. So the whole protection mechanism will be replaced by a library with only 2MB in size.
Software protection emulator has the following benefits:
1. It does not require AAM (Adobe Application Manager).
2. It does not perform a background license check while the user is saving
   files/using menus/any other operation in Adobe apps.
3. All possible features will become available in all installed Adobe apps.
4. It does not create/modify/update the Abobe application database,
   so it will not be used by the emulator at all.
5. It does not send statistics to Adobe.
6. It does not create license labels and license cache.
7. It bypasses all regional limitations.
8. It disables all kind of tracking (logging) for all apps.

Installation

Option #1 [GUI]

1. Install the required Adobe software in a Virtual Machine.
2. Pick the installed application from the list or specify its version, name and ID manually. This data is required for some app’s features and will be used as a stub.
3. Run AMTEmu and locate the application. It will be replaced automatically with the emulator framework file.
4. Copy the installed app (/Applications/*) and all
extense files if they exist, for instance, old versions of Photoshop require the TypeSupport files (/Library/Application Support /Adobe/TypeSupport/*) from VM to the host operating system.
[WARNING]
Apps might work incorrectly or terminated with a error, if the required component won’t be copied. For example, Illustrator CC 2015.3 requires the following file:
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/IPC/AdobeIPCBroker.app

5. Now you can use your application.
Option #2 [GUI]

1. To install the emulator, select the required Adobe app from the list or specify its version, name and ID manually. This data is required for some app’s features and will be used as a stub.
2-1. Run AMTEmu and locate the application. It will be replaced automatically with the appropriate emulator framework file.
2-2. [Optionally] Remove all protection files and AAM to disable all the tracking and update check:
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager

/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore_v1

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE

/Library/Logs/Adobe/*.log

and so on.
[WARNING]
Apps might work incorrectly or terminated with a error, if the required component will be deleted. For example, Illustrator CC 2015.3 requires the following file:
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/IPC/AdobeIPCBroker.app

3. Use the application.
Option #3 [MANUAL]

1. Open AMTEmu (use “Show Package Contents” options) and copy
/Contents/Resources/AMTEmu/amtlib

/Contents/Resources/AMTEmu/painter.ini

to the required app’s folder:
/Contents/Frameworks/amtlib.framework/Versions/A

[Optionally]
Copy IMSLib.dylib stub to /Contents/Frameworks/ if required.
2. Edit options in the painter.ini file using any text editor for the current application.
3. Use the application.
CONFIG FILE:

The configuration files should be named painter.ini. Place it in the same directory where lib is stored. If it not exists, then defaults will be used.
Example:
[Config]
Use INI or use default options
UseCfg=1
App name
Name=Adobe Photoshop CC
App LEID
LEID=Photoshop-CS7-Mac-GM
App version
Version=14.0.0
App serial (as a stub)
Serial=911981263905754650953920
Adobe ID stub
[email protected]
Person GUID (as a stub)
PersonGUID=7189F1490B80A4FEC6B81B51@AdobeID
[AMT]
AMT Library version, example 7.x.x.x
Version=7
and so on.

ADVANCED OPTIONS:

[ Backup files ]
Backups files with the .DEL extension.
[ Force lang for apps ]
Forces the specific language for apps.
Note: some apps can have no support for the selected language.
[ Replace IMSLib.dylib with a stub ]
Replaces the Adobe’s authentication library with a stub.
[ Enable the genuine RetrieveLibraryPath algorithm ]
Apps are using this function to find the path to the file IMSLib.dylib (which is the authentication library). By default, this emulator will redirect all paths to the current framework directory.
If it is required to return the path to the installed AAM, then this function should be used.
Note: when enabled, the IMSLib.dylib stub library won’t be used!
