# 🛠️ How to Fix the Adobe Genuine Service Alert After Using GenP — Easy and Practical Tips

So, you successfully patched your Adobe software with GenP, but… that pesky Adobe Genuine Service Alert keeps popping up? Ugh, I know how frustrating that is!

A lot of users search for stuff like “step-by-step guide for genp adobe genuine service alert fix” or “how to bypass adobe genuine service alert 2024.” Let’s fix that together.

What Is the Genuine Service Alert?
Adobe runs a background program called the Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service. Its job is to scan your computer for unauthorized Adobe software and throw up warnings if it finds any.

Even if your patch worked perfectly, this service can still detect modifications and bug you with alerts.

Step 1: Double Check Your Patch
Make sure you ran GenP as Administrator.

Verify all Adobe apps and Creative Cloud are fully closed when patching.

If you’re unsure, re-patch following these steps.

Step 2: Stop and Disable the Integrity Service
Here’s the big one:

Press Win + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter.

Find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service.

Right-click and select Stop.

Then go to Properties and set Startup type to Disabled.

This stops the service from running and bugging you.

Step 3: Block Adobe’s Online License Servers
Prevent Adobe from checking your software online by editing your hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and adding:

Copy
Edit
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
Or set up firewall rules to block these domains.

Step 4: Disable Auto-Updates
Updates can overwrite patches and re-enable the integrity service.

Open Creative Cloud.

Head to Preferences > Apps.

Turn off Auto-update.

Step 5: Restart Your PC and Avoid Logging Into Adobe Accounts
Restart your computer and try to use Adobe apps offline. Avoid signing into Adobe accounts within patched apps to keep your activation safe.
