This is the latest Mac and Windows crack method for AdobeAfter Effects CC 2017 and 2019. It consists of two separate procedures that you can dofor either operating system as well as a dedicated section for the latest 2019 version. The Mac version is focused on using an editedamtlib.framework and Zii Patcher that should be able to unlock the base program. For Windows,on the other hand, you only have to utilize the Patcher courtesy of X-FORCE.
Trial Link: http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/free-trial-download.html
Prior to doing the method, you have to install the trial ofAfter Effects CC 2017.

How to Crack the 2019 Version on Mac OS
1. You can freely utilize the version 4 update of Adobe Zii for Mac, which is now the most reliable way to crack almost any type of Adobe app on a Mac computer. Once you download the crack, just head over to the directory where you installed it then launch the said Patcher.
2. We assume that you already have the trial for the 2019 version, which is necessary as the Patch would automatically try to look for it and crack it for you. If you installed any preceding version of After Effects CC that was cracked, it won't matter if you update it as it would only go back to the trial version. You just need to have the 2019 version in your system, nothing else.
3. Just click on the Patch/Drag button to let the tool do its job. That is all, and standby for more updates in the future as this is the hardest version of Adobe Creative Cloud that was launched yet.
Old Crack Instructions for Mac
1. You will need to open the Terminal app first (located atTerminal in>Applications>Utilities). Once it’s started, enter the command“sudo spctl –master-disable”. Press the return button then enter your adminpassword (this is often asked by default). This should suffice in disablingGatekeeper.
2. Download the crack for After Effects CC in the linkbefore these instructions. It should be .dmg format, so you have to mount itfirst to access the actual installer that would install the folder where thecrack is.
3. The folder should install in your Desktop. Go to it (itsname is After Effects CC 2017 Mac Crack) then look for the file titled amtlib.framework.Head on over to the main folder where the app is installed. Look for theFrameworks one then move the amtlib file into it. You may overwrite theoriginal.
4. This should be enough to crack the program and take careof update issues at the same time. Launch After Effects CC 2017 to checkwhether the crack installed correctly or not. The Trial window should no longermake an appearance in the initial screen.
Steps for Windows Users
1. Download then install the crack by going to the link andfollowing instructions on how to do so. You will need to open it with Winrarthen extract the exe installer into your Desktop. Run it to install the crack’sfolder in the same place.
2. Double-click on the Adobe CC 2017 Patcher located insideit. Set the program in the Program label (be sure to choose x32 or x64correctly). Afterwards, it should begin to detect its copy automatically. Bepatient in waiting for this process to complete.
3. A window should appear that everything is set. Once itdoes, close it then click on the Patch button on the lower right-hand side ofthe Patcher’s interface. The progress window directly above it should begin tomove. Again, simply wait for this entire process to finish.
4. The Patcher takes care of the host file modificationneeded to remedy update issues as well. The utter ease that this tool providessimply makes Windows users that much luckier than Mac ones.
Final Reminders: It so happens that you are interested inunlocking the plugins for the software as well, know that we have a dedicatedpost on how you can do this too. While updates shouldn’t pop up anymore, we cannever really say for certain so you have to keep an out for them and make surethat you prevent them from happening. The After Effects CC 2017amtlib.framework and Patcher should have been proven to be adequate inaddressing most issues.
