I've got the monkrus Substance 3D painter and stumbled across this huge 14,000 libary of textures. Unfortunately monkrus doesnt have it as it says "this content requires a subscription". Does GenP give access to all these materials?

I've also read this line in the wiki:

"GenP includes all standard content packs and tools by default via Adobe's installer." So I assume it does? I'm just wanting a definite confirmation please

Thank you

My Premiere Pro 25.4 sending 'accept terms of service' popups. I've: -installed newest GenP + config -reinstalled, unpacked, wintrust, updated hosts, re-patched -checked for /machineevents/ domains with Fiddler but can't find any.

My Ae was crashing until I deleted microsoft.ai.machinelearning.dll (not sure if that's important?). Reverting to previous version also worked.

I'm trying to visit GenP Revolt so I can read through other people's solutions but I am not receiving emails to finish account creation (not sure if that's common or if there's a workaround?)

Followed Straightly the GenP guides and successfully patched CC, Acrobat, PPro, Media Encoder. All started ok. Patched PS as well but once started, closed automatically without any pop-up, messages etc. Hardware wise, i am using a new PC with Ultra7 265K, Z890, RTX5070 all with latest drivers. GenP version is 3.6.8. I followed Guide#8 renamed the files as well as Guide#9 deleting PluginsStorage but PS still refused to start. Checked the patch log, nothing abnormal. Checked "...adobe photoshop 2025\logs\UXPLogs....log", it has some failure message related to plugin:

upic::Upic version 2.6.0 is initialized upic::Failed to read plugin info file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\UXP\PluginsInfo\v1\PS.json upic::Failed to read plugin info file: C:\Users\7862502\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\UXP\PluginsInfo\v1\PS.json upic::Loading plugins from system fallback plugins folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\UXP\Plugins\External upic::Loading plugins from user fallback plugins folder: C:\Users\7862502\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\UXP\Plugins\External upic::Loading plugins from hybrid fallback plugins folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\UXP\Plugins\7862502\External upic::Number of plugins added from system's fallback: 0 upic::Number of plugins added from user's fallback: 0 upic::Number of plugins added from hybrid's fallback: 0

None of the mentioned folder exist in my installation. Don't know if this is related. Tried again with deleting the PS preference folder, no luck. Appreciate if anyone can help.

I did the correct steps, but when I launch aftereffects — it gets stuck on a random item to "scan" with and quits by itself. Any solutions?

So recently, I have been trying to download Genp on my computer but every time I try to complete step 5 which says I need to unpack under runtime installer It fails and goes to the log tab and says "No file(s) found at C:\Program Files\Adobe". I went back to the tutorial and did what it said if this happened but it is still not working. So if anyone has any idea of what is going on and could help me that would be great.

Hi I am able to use HEVC on version 25.1 and nothing after. I feel like ive tried everything. Anyone have any advice for this? AI said its possible you need specific .dlls in that folder? I had a backup of my dlls that work on 25.1 but copying them into that folder just deleted by premiere and then this error.

I correctly unpacked before the patch. I tried wintrust, Updated hosts, AGS is not installed. I've never seen this popup before. (Premiere Pro 25.4) (Firewall block stops the pop up but that also prevents Premiere from connecting background Adobe services so program doesn't behave in its full performance.)

In 'Guide #8 - Blocking unnecessary Adobe background processes' there are 4 exes listed:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Sync\CoreSync\CoreSync.exe
  • C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience\CCXProcess.exe
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ADS\Adobe Desktop Service.exe
  • C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Creative Cloud Libraries\CCLibrary.exe

However I noticed there's another instance of 'CCXProcess' that isn't in the list:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience\CCXProcess.exe

It's also a start-up process listed in Windows Settings > Apps > Startup and set to 'on'.

Is this process omitted from the guide because it's required (and should be left on)? Or it something new since the guide was last updated (and can be turned off)?

I'm just wondering if I should or shouldn't disable it.

When I extract all the GenP downloaded zip file there is no .exe file there, only these 2 files. How can I fix it?

This rule in my firewall was blocking updates and limiting CC features so as instructed in the wiki, I deleted it and everything started working great. But I was wondering where it came from in the first place. I had used the "Firewall" option in pop-up tools but it has said it failed since I was using a third party firewall (I'm not). So my questions are

  1. What created the firewall rule
  2. Why is it that despite using windows firewall genp says I'm using something else. (I even tried the steps on the wiki but in the list of AV programs, the cmd window only shows windows defender)

hello :)

i followed the instructions and it worked for a few times but then when i opened it again, this showed up (unlicensed adobe app detected)

idk where to ask for help since Revolt site is not loading for me, pls help

63
 
 

"The app wasn't properly started. Click ok to stop the app."

This happens only when I open After Effects, I can open Creative Clous without trouble. I already re-installed both apps, tried changing compatibility, restarted my PC, turned off my antivirius. All I could found about it online.

64
 
 

I have patched CC and Photoshop before but now I want to download After Effects and it is asking to pay first to start the trial. I've searched through the guides and I haven't found how to fix this. I've tried blocking adobe desktop service in the firewall and I didn't work. I'm using Genp on Windows 10 btw.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I wanted to make the static captions but I needed to download a language pack (swedish) which would not work because I needed to be online and obviously its blocked by the firewall

Hey new here to all this. How do I get started. where do I download GenP. Honestly I just need PS and II

67
 
 

lightroom doesnt show up in CC under installed apps, therefore cant be updated. i would have to start a "free" trial to re-install it, is there a better way around this?

68
 
 

Hi- a less techy friend of mine is battling with a popup that I didn't see addressed in the docs (feel free to kill me if it was.) Basically, CC is functionally useless because this popup forces them to either update or kill it with task manager. I set up Wintrust and the reg key thingymabob when I set genP up for them, and I've had them click the update hosts button and repatch everything (they got a 6-digit code popup a while ago and just followed the instructions adobe provided.)

What's the solution here? Will they be forced to just update and repatch CC? Or is it possible that them going through the 6-digit code popup really messed things up?

I have installed GenP in the past with no issues. I did just do a clean Windows 11 install recently which is why I am here getting it back! However, for some reason, even after turning off the firewall, antivirus, etc...when I extract...for the life of me I can't see the .exe file. Included a picture of what I can see.

Just read that ARM architecture is not supported. I've just reinstalled windows 11 on my Surface 11. Before reinstalling, I had the original windows 11 on which I installed Photoshop 2024 without problems and GenP, one year ago. Now it seems impossible to install Photoshop outside Creative Cloud and also GenP doesn't work. So I'm wondering if anything changed from one year ago, since the hardware of the Surface is identical!

Hi! I've installed Adobe CC Desktop app and patched with GenP, but I can't install apps. The Install button appears but when I click it, the app attempts to install and fails. And a second later, a Retry button appears. I've tried uninstalling and starting over, but the same thing keeps happening. I did it months ago on another computer and there were no problems. Please, I need help.

Basically the two questions, downloaded the prebuilt binary from the official site linked here and Windows Defender freaked out. Uploaded to virustotal and got like 20 positives. Figured I'd build from source but the build process needs Admin rights which is just raising all sorts of flags for me. Since when does a build process need admin? Edit: That's kinda a tautological answer to why it needs admin privs: because it requests them. I know why GenP itself needs them, but why do the build scripts?

73
 
 

So I'm installing GenP/Adobe apps install on my new laptop and had a question. Do we have to login on most Adobe apps to use them properly? Such as Premiere Pro, Photoshop, After Effects, Audition etc.

I think I remember Acrobat Pro doesn't need to be, but I couldn't remember the others and can't find it in the GenP guide.

Hi all. Been trying to download the latest GenP (3.6.8) to update my apps, but it keeps coming up with this error whenever I try. Any idea why this is happening? I turned off Real-time Protection in Windows Security and my VPN is off.

I was having trouble yesterday with Photoshop and the Accept Terms popup. Updating hosts wouldn't work, so I used the WinTrust method, which solved the issue👌 Should I still maintain an up-to-date hosts file? Or does the WinTrust method eliminate the need for hosts? I applied the WinTrust method to all of the apps that I use to avoid any future popups.

My first post to GenP, so just wanted to say thanks so much for all that you guys do, your efforts are greatly appreciated! 👍
