How to Stop Adobe Genuine Pop up on Mac

We’ll give you tips on How to Stop Adobe Genuine pop-up on Mac. Follow these steps to solve these issues and stop the Adobe notifications on your Mac.

The Mac and iOS operating systems are infamous for the system-wide restrictions for allowing only genuine content. In the same way you cannot install any third-party apps on iPhones and iOS in general, the same goes with Mac systems. Even if you manage to install software that you haven’t purchased or installed properly, you get annoying pop-ups very frequently. If you do not want to pay a hefty price for the official software and can no longer stand the repetitive notifications, follow these steps to stop the Adobe notifications on your Mac:

How to Stop Adobe Genuine Pop-up on Mac

• In order to stop the notifications, we need to delete the file responsible for alerting the Mac OS for sending notifications. To start with, Go to Folder in your Mac, and then choose the “Go” section.
• Next, scroll down the menu that pops up and select the “Go to Folder” option. On choosing this, you can select the folder where we are going to delete the Adobe client file to stop notifications. The file we are looking for is the Adobe Genuine Client Control checker, and deleting it permanently will not cause any system or program damage on your Mac.
• In the “Go to Folder”, choose Library. In case it is not easily accessible, after clicking on the “Go” option, type in “~/Library”, and it will take you to the required destination.
• Now, choose the “Application Support” option, and from the list, click on Adobe. Here, you can see the “AdobeGCCClient” named file. If this is not available, you can choose to search in the toolbar and choose different combinations of “Genuine Client Control”, “Adobe Client”, and “GCC”, among other options.
• Once you locate the file in the destination folder, Delete it. After deleting make sure that you do not see any trace of the Adobe Genuine client in the destination or system folders to prevent the notification problem from recurring. Now go to the Trash on the main screen and clear/delete it from there as well.

Conclusion

The method of deleting the Genuine Client might work for a few other applications too and depends solely on the software version and registration. In some cases, because of Mac OS system security updates, it might be difficult or impossible to delete such files. You should also double-check that you do not see the above-mentioned file anywhere in the system, and your “Adobe not Genuine” pop-ups every now and then.
