why don't you stick to your knitting ..... all your legacy stuff is falling apart .... stuff i teach ..... AE is still riddled with bugs ... and now AI Beta ...... "Your Illustrator Build has Expired" ....

i can think of better things to do than do a [cursing removed] tapdance in front of a class when i launch one of your apps, and it fails ... which has happened to me several times recently ... including this morning ...

so what's the story WITH THIS bug ?

Thanks for getting back to me, just now I was able to access the Beta tab in the Creative Cloud Desktop app (for some reason it wasn’t showing up last time), and I installed version 30.8 of Illustrator Beta and now I can use it like normal again! I think installing the latest version fixed the issue for me. I would still love to see the full version available for ARM processors, but this will work great for now.
Thanks!

Please tell me how you fixed this.

I have 2 computers on my desk Surface 11 Pro and Surface 8 Pro. Both running windows.

Illustrator desktop runs great on the 8 but on 11 I get the Error: "Your Illustrator Build has Expired".

Thaks so much.

Hello @Stephen_Bohn8390

I’m sorry to hear you’re having similar trouble with your beta applications. Could you check the beta tab in the Creative Cloud Desktop app to see whether Illustrator is listed there and whether an update is available?

If you’re unable to see the beta tab, try the suggestions shared here (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/apps/troubleshoot/known-and-fixed-issues/beta-apps-unavailable-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html) and let us know how it goes.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

The same issue happened to me today. I tried to open my Adobe Illustrator Beta but I got a “Your Illustrator build has expired” message window and was forced to close it. I checked and there are no updates for Illustrator Beta and I was using the latest version. I was relying on that since my computer uses an ARM processing chip which doesn’t support the full version of Illustrator. Is there anything I can do to fix this expired build situation? Or will the full version be released for ARM chip computers soon?

Hello @ruben

I’m sorry to hear you’re having similar trouble with Illustrator. Could you please confirm the installed version of Illustrator (beta), your system details, and a screenshot of the problem so we can look into this further with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

For sure, and thanks for responding!
I’m pretty sure I had the latest version of Illustrator Beta because I would use the new Sketch to Vector feature a lot, but I can’t remember the exact version number, and I can’t check due to the pop up preventing me from using the actual application.
I’m using a Windows Surface Pro with these system details:
Processor - Snapdragon(R) X 12-core X1E80100 @ 3.40 GHz
RAM - 16 GB
Graphics Card - Qualcomm(R) Adreno(TM) X1-85 GPU
Storage - 500 GB
System Type - 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor

Adobe Illustrator Beta worked perfectly on this setup; I would rarely run into any issues. I would love to use the full version, but since that’s not an option this is the next best thing. Here is a screenshot of the issue I keep running into:

Any support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can still use the general release version.

Nothing. You have to wait until the engineers fix it.

In the meantime: use the released version for production (which you should do anyway)

Hello @Steve27267442yhi0 @Gizem Gul,

I understand your frustration with Illustrator Beta not launching. As the error states, "Your Illustrator build has expired," means the beta version you have installed has reached its expiration date. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to bypass this error.

However, the good news is that we have recently released a new beta, v28.0.0.10.

Keep an eye out for new beta updates on the Creative Cloud desktop app to continue using the Illustrator Beta with the latest features without encountering the expiration error. When a new beta version becomes available, you can download and install it to enjoy the extended functionality while avoiding the expiration problem. Please check for updates manually in the Creative Cloud desktop app, and you will see the latest beta build.

I hope this information helps, and I wish you a smooth experience with the latest Illustrator Beta version!

Best regards,

Anshul Saini

I started to have the same error (Your Illustrator build has expired) every time I launched the Illustrator Beta. I don't know the beta version and can't even check the About section to look anymore.
I'm using a Macbook Pro 2023 M2 Max with Ventura 13.4.1. And I can use normal Adobe Illustrator 27.3.1 without any problem.
But, I want to keep using the Illustrator Beta version because of some of the extra features I like to use.

Is there any way to keep using the beta version?

Thank you!
