It doesn't matter which version, Acrobat has always been a collection of poorly engineered parts flying in loose formation. It's as if when it came to each successive version, Adobe posed the question to their engineers, 'How can we piss of our users a little more? How can we make their lives just a little more miserable?'
The real way to disable Adobe Updater from your Mac OS X. Has the command text changed? I am trying desperately to stop the Adobe updater as well as the adobe genuine thing that keeps popping up Any idea on how to stop it all? April 14, 2019 at 4:23 AM Post a Comment.
It appears that with their 'Adobe Genuine Software' program, a diagnostic which runs tests to determine if your software is 'genuine', they have outdone themselves. I've been running CS6 for years on my Mac and for my purposes, the suite does pretty much everything I need. Sure, I'd like some of the features that have been added to the CC edition but not enough to spend the money because the upside isn't enough to get me excited enough to reach into my pocket.Now, all was fine in my Adobe world until a few months ago when, one day, I launched Acrobat X and up popped a persistent and annoying notice informing me in the smug, smarmy, 'f. you, you're just a customer' manner only an arrogant behemoth like Adobe can muster, that my software (specifically AcrobatPro X and InDesign CS6) was not 'genuine.' So I should buy the software again and uninstall what I've already got and drop a dime on the reseller, all of which would be reasonable if my software was not genuine. But my software isn't fake so this message tells me something important.
That I am about to waste a lot of time resolving the issue. I particularly like Adobe's contention:Professionals choose Adobe software since it is reliable, secure and supported by Adobe. The non-genuine software on your machine is not warranted or supported by Adobe.
