so here is what NOT to do if youβre a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.
1) DONβT use your search bar to find and open the Run app
2) DONβT type in services.msc
3) DONβT find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and donβt selectΒ βpropertiesβ
4) if you happen to click properties, DONβT use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DONβT click apply to finalize that change.Β
5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software MonitorΒ
if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobeβs ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely donβt do any of these things.Β
however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)
