Question

Can I participate in a second free trial?

Community Answer

Yes, but it probably isn't legal. What you want to do is change the trial serial code number to give you a second trial. Look for a video online explaining the process of changing the serial code in the Application XML file, preferably through the program Brackets.

Question

Is there any way to get Photoshop free forever instead of just for the trial?

Community Answer

There isn't a way to legally get it free forever without the trial. Eventually you'll need to pay. The only alternative is to enrol in an educational institution and use their license during your study years. Or, get a job where the company pays for it as part of your work needs.

Community Answer

No, you cannot legally get it free forever. Get a free alternative to Photoshop, like GIMP, Krita, Photopea, or Paint.Net.
