Unfortunately, since this could actually get me into legal trouble, I have to include this at the top :/
Everything here in this repository is for educational purposes only, with the usage of such tools only intended for testing software, or for the removal of an user's inconvenience regarding mistaken popups on their genuine Adobe software. I do NOT enourage people to pirate Adobe software, or of the like. As a matter of fact, NEVER use this as a way to remove the genuine client on pirated software, as a way to illegally remove inconveniences on illegal software. Buy the license!
The only reason to use this script is when you have genuine Adobe software, but are still recieving "non-genuine" software popups from the genuine client, and have exhausted all other means of removing such inconvenience, including, but is not limited to:
- Adobe community forums
- Calling Adobe support
- Seeking help via third-party forums
amongst others.
In this repository, you can find scripts that will remove the Adobe Genuine Client from genuine Adobe software, after the user has exhausted all means of removing the mistaken popup from the Genuine Client, listed above.
There are two scripts. One is named "Delete AGS Popup.cmd", and this is a slow-going guide, which will help notify the user every single step that will happen. Then there is the file "Delete AGS Popup without prompt.cmd" that will immediately start and finish deleting all files given in the guide script, to avoid consuming too much time during subsequent uses.
Important note: If a file, service, or folder doesn't exist, the script will output an error. This is completely normal, so do not be alarmed, and continue to proceed, as the errors will cause no problems.
I should note that adobe updates their software and this was made back in 2019, so this may not be representative of current adobe GC stuff in 2026+ and may not fully work. I honestly haven't seen adobe GC in a long long time in different installs from different sources, so it may have been removed entirely from the most popular sources, but I can't say for sure. Still, doesn't hurt to run this script and see if it works lol.
Have fun with removing the Adobe Genuine Client either for educational purposes, or for convenience in genuine software, after exhausting all other means of dealing with a false popup originating from the Genuine Client 😛!
