Some Adobe “Not yet” on M1, you can download the Intel version to try your luck!

Support installing Adobe on Mac files:

  • Adobe Creative Cloud: Download directly from Adobe (Adobe 2019 is not required)
  • Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud: Download directly from Adobe , Backup Link (Only used if you want to remove Adobe Creative Cloud after installing Adobes)
  • Create an Adobe account: Adobe ID
  • Backup activation versions: 2019 , 2020 , 2021 (By default, Adobe files already come with a ready-made version, you don’t need to download it here, just in case some of you have errors when activating)

Disable Gatekeeper and SIP

To install the Adobe suite on Mac, you need to disable Gatekeeper and SIP on Mac first, then come back to this article for instructions on installing Adobe on Mac!

Install Adobe on Mac

Download Adobe on Mac according to your macOS version. Note that Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere … on Mac software all have the same installation method, so in this article, I choose software that has not been installed on my computer to guide you. You follow, but with other Adobe installation files, it’s okay.

Version 2021 and M1

Step 1: You sign up for an Adobe account and install Adobe Creative Cloud. After logging in, leave it aside.

Install Adobe Creative Cloud and log in to your account
Install Adobe Creative Cloud and log in to your account

Step 2: Open the downloaded Adobe installation file (wait for it to be extracted) > double-click Install > Open.

Open Install... to install Adobe on Mac (Macbook)
Open Install… to install Adobe on Mac

Step 3: Click the buttons on the warning, in turn, to install Adobe on Mac. Install > OK > wait for installation > OK.

Follow the buttons when prompted to install Adobe on Mac
Follow the buttons when prompted to install Adobe on Mac

Step 4: You open Adobe Zii > Open > see instructions for permanent activation below.

Step 1: Extract the zip file > open the Install folder > right-click Install and select Show Package Contents.

Right click on Install and select Show Package Contents
Right-click on Install and select Show Package Contents

Step 2: You open the Content folder> MacOS> open Install> select Open.

Open Install and select Open to install Adobe on Mac
Open Install and select Open to install Adobe on Mac

Step 3: You wait for the installation process to complete and close the windows. You’d need to sign in to your Adobe Creative Cloud account if you didn’t install Adobe Creative Cloud first.

Wait for the Adobe on Mac installation to complete, then close all windows
Wait for the Adobe on Mac installation to complete, then close all windows

Step 4: You open Zii in the remaining folder > see instructions for permanent activation below.

Activate permanent use

All Adobe on Mac

Follow these steps to activate Adobe on Mac permanently. In each Adobe you had downloaded, there will be a corresponding activation file name Zii.

You should not click the PATCH OR DRAG button, because it will automatically patch all Adobe it detects, so it is easy to cause errors when it patches other Adobes that are not the same version that it supports.

Step 1: Go to the Application folder> Adobe…20XX folder> drag and drop the Adobe application…20XX into the PATCH OR DRAG box

Go to the folder of Adobe you installed and drag and drop the application into Zii
Go to the folder of Adobe you installed and drag and drop the application into Zii

Step 2: Click OK when the device asks for Root permission required > enter the password to open the device > OK.

Give Zii permission to run permanent activation of Adobe on Mac
Give Zii permission to run permanent activation of Adobe on Mac

When Zii displays COMPLETED, it is successful. Do the same for other Adobes. Remember not to press the PATCH OR DRAG button.

Photoshop 2021 on M1

You still activate Photoshop 2021_v21.3.1 on Mac M1 in the above way, but there will be one more step before you use Photoshop.

Go to the path containing Photoshop CC 2021 > Right click on Adobe Photoshop CC 2021.app > Get information > Open using Rosetta (Open with Rosetta)

Enjoy Adobe on Mac forever

After installing and activating permanently for Adobe software, you can open some software to see if they work well.

It's a bit slow the first time, but it'll be faster next time

Check out the pricing of Adobe software on Mac. If it has notice of the trial period, you can ignore it, and when it expired, you can still use it normally. It’s okay.

Start using Adobe on your Mac

Note that you have installed a version that works well; you should not update to the new version because it will not activate it forever. To prevent accidental updates, follow the instructions below to remove Adobe Creative Cloud, which likes to run in the background consuming RAM and invites you to update continuously.

Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud from Mac

You open the Creative Cloud Uninstaller file downloaded at the top.

Open the Creative Cloud Uninstaller file
Open the Creative Cloud Uninstaller file

Then you enter the computer username and password and click OK. Next, click the Uninstall button to uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud from your Mac.

Enter the username and password of the user on the machine, then click the Uninstall button
Enter the username and password of the user on the machine, then click the Uninstall button

Epilogue

Like downloading Microsoft Office on Mac, the Adobe suite is indispensable. I will update the new file on this article, but what stable version you are using should keep that original. If there is an update, update it to the year, but the version of the same year is not much different. How many Adobe on Mac software have you installed? No problem. Would you mind leaving a comment to chat with me?
