Good morning and apologies for the question.
I ask if it is possible to put the command "adobe_block.bat -delete" in a separate script so that we have a single restore file while also avoiding having the adobe_block.bat file on the desktop?
Thank you very much

Works great! Thanks for the time and effort.

Do you have the code for Autodesk programs such as Autocad, Revit, Cine3d, Maya, 3dsMax...?

This is great, thanks for your effort!

Wow this is awesome. Thank you bruv!!

A maya autodesk, adobe acrobat version would be great too, there are so many adobe exes now AdskLicensingAgent.exe, AdskAccessServiceHost.exe, FNPLicensingService.exe, FNPLicensingService64.exe,

¡Hola! ¿Como puedo revertir el script? Gracias <3

Thank's great job, appreciate
