Illustrator never ending trial period

How Does It Work

All you have to do, to extend your trial period, is change number in TrialKey element in application.xml. This file is located in /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2018/Support Files/AMT/AI/AMT. You can navigate there with this command:

cd /Applications/Adobe\ Illustrator\ */Support\ Files/AMT/AI/AMT

Then you have to open the file and edit it. You can use just nano editor in terminal.

sudo nano application.xml

Now find the TrialSerialNumber Data key:

<Data key="TrialSerialNumber">911997077777979240115317</Data>

And increment this number by one:

<Data key="TrialSerialNumber">911997077777979240115318</Data>

Now close the editor (ctr+x), save file (y), yes for rewrite (enter). Now when you reopen your Illustrator, you will be promped to login and you should have another 7 days of trail period.
