Hello! Recently, I have come across an issue, where photoshop (Previously unlocked with genp) started to crash a few seconds after opening. After nothing I did worked, I then uninstalled everything, wiped all of creative cloud and photoshop, and re-did Guide #2. While the installation went smoothly through the guide, after a few seconds of opening, Adobe detected photoshop as unlicensed. I tried a 2nd time, making sure the compatibility was right, and unfortunately yet again, photoshop was detected as unlicensed. I followed Guide 4 in deep cleaning creative cloud, as well as logging into a new account for creative cloud, but nothing worked unfortunately. What could potentially be causing this issue? I notice that in CC, I get a notif saying that I may have limited access to some adobe apps or services. Thank you!

Yes, I'm having the same problem.

Using GenP v4.0.4, tried the hosts file update, tried WinTrust which has always worked before but not now.

GenP v4.0.4 with or without WinTrust is not working properly as far as I can tell.

There is a temporary fix that should hold you over until next genp.

look for the section BLOCK POPUPS TEMPORARY WORKAROUND https://wiki.dbzer0.com/genp-guides/guide/#guide-2

I have a pihole in my network so it was a little easier for me.
