29TH OCTOBER 2025

Hi guys! Its currently working on MacBook M1 Pro MacOS Tahoe 26.0.1. I downloaded the torrent, open the .dmg file and FIRST of all, if you are going to replace an older Illustrator version or you have any Adobe program or Creative Cloud installed, you should clean all the Adobe data from your Mac to have a succesfull. The guys that provide us the programs have at the folder “Extra” the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool. Use it and mark everything to delete all the data. Now, to make sure everything is deleted, go to Extra > Minimum Creative Cloud > Adobe Sanitizer v.10.0.1 and run the .pkg file. If Mac can’t open it, go to your System Settings > Privacy and Scurity and scroll down to the bottom. There should be a text saying that its dangerous to open apps from unknown developers or something like that (sorry i put spanish as lenguage hahah) and an option to open it even with that risk. Do it (Palpatine’s voice) and run the Adobe Sanitizer v.10.0.1.pkg. Mark every square and complete the process.

If you want to install just a few Adobe apps (which is your case I guess) go again to to Extra > Minimum Creative Cloud and run Runtime_ARM64.pkg (in case you got Apple Silicon) or Runtime_x86_64.pkg (in case you got Intel) [if you have M1,M2,M3,M4, it’s Apple Silicon, so ARM]. Now, go back to the main folder and go to Install > Install. I had an issue when I tried to use Spanish as the main language, so I recommend to put English (international) as the main language. In addition, it’s better to work in english in any software just in case you will work with foreign fellas or just need help with tutorials (yes I know have my Mac in spanish but that is my mess LEAVE ME ALONE!).

Once it’s ready, DON’T OPEN IT YET. Go back to the main folder and open the “Crack.zip” file. It will generate a “Crack” folder at the “Downloads” folder of your Mac. Now, go to Applications > Adobe Illustrator 2025 > Adobe Illustrator 2025. Right click (or control + click if you use your trackpad) > Show Package Contents. Now you will see some folders like _CodeSignature, Frameworks, MacOs and other files. Open a new tap on your Finder and go to Downloads > Crack > Contents. Now you will see just two folders: Frameworks and MacOs. Okay, WAIT. If you want it to work, delete JUST the Frameworks folder from Adobe Illustrator 2025 > Contents and replace it with the one from Crack > Contents. Now, open the MacOs folder from both sites. As you can see, there’s a lot more files in “Adobe Illustrator 2025 > Contents > MacOs” than in “Crack > Contents > MacOs”. That means you only have to delete the ones that appears on both sites. In this case, delete Adobe Illustrator, AIMonitor, AIRobin and IllustratorDiagnosys and replace them with the ones in the “Crack > Contents > MacOs” folder.

It’s almost done. As the instructions file ReadMe.txt says (ALWAYS read the instructions now I look like my father), you also should block the hosts. How can you do it? That’s the same question I asked to myself, but as the instructions said in the Adobe Photoshop v26.11 downloaded file, the app iHost (which you can download at the AppStore) is so easy to use to do it. Just open it and probably nothing happens. Don’t worry, It’s open and you just have to go to your upper and right side of the screen (where the battery, date, hour, etc. are placed) and will see the H icon. Click and go to Edit Hosts. Now open the website where the hosts appear (yes, that one that ends with .txt). If the hosts have been pasted in iHost, it’s already done. If not, click on the text at Edit Hosts, paste them yourself and click on Apply.

When the host thing is done, go to Firewall > Options, add the Adobe Illustrator 2025 with the + button and change the green status to the red one that says “Block entering connections” (or something like that I guess). Finally, I also followed the advice from Ketan here https://www.torrentmac.net/adobe-photoshop-2025-v26-11/, and I downloaded the Activation Tool 1.2.2, which I use before open for the first time the program.

Now it’s time, open Adobe Illustrator, let it verify and run. A pop-up in chinese (due to the Activation Tool) appears. Click at OK. Now it will shut down. Run it again and it should work without any problem!
