Can't uninstall adobe after license expired (windows 10)

[maria3524748]

So my problem is, that my adobe license has expired (and i'm not planning on continuing it), and creative cloud doesn't let me uninstall the last remaining software, illustrator, without logging in. And i cannot do that since my license has expired (i made new ones just to ask this question). I was able to uninstall all the other adobe software without creative cloud asking to log in, but the problem came up with illustrator.

Any ideas how to proceed?

Yes,

Open the registry and look for "UninstallString" key under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ILST_*

where * is your version number.

Run that 'UninstallString' as admin in a prompt.

Cheers!

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly, i read your comment and acted on it immediately but didn't have time to answer. With your instructions i got illustrator out (hopefully) so thank you!

Use Adobe's Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems
