Troubleshooting

It's been X hours/days/weeks/months since this last updated! Is this list deprecated / abandoned?

Not at all. This list is usually weeks ahead of Adobe's domain switches, so it doesn't need to continuously update. The only times you'll see a recent push would be:

  • If they add more domains and I can add them as preventive updates
  • If they make a switch between domain formats (Moving from *.adobe.io to *.prod.cloud.adobe.io, for example.)

My prefered program is not letting me use the list!

This can happen with programs that do not support 301 redirects as the source URL. You can use the following direct URLs instead:

It was working fine and now I'm getting / I'm still getting the "Unlicensed program" window / I have a new subdomain to submit

Adobe tends to update their license subdomain every two weeks. Feel free to open an issue if you already tried updating the list and nothing happened. It'd be appreciated if you could use Fiddler / Charles Proxy when opening the program, sort by "/integritychecker/machineevents/v1" and include the subdomain it was requested from.

I'm in a country where Github / Cloudflare is slow or blocked / 我所在的国家Github/Cloudflare速度慢或被屏蔽

jsDelivr URL should redirect you to a suitable mirror according to your latency / country. If you still can't access any option, please open an issue.

Donations

They are not necessary, but always appreciated! Your contribution will help me pay for the API services I use to continuously find subdomains, plus the yearly domain price.
