Mac OS X adobe_licensing_helper in Launchpad

Open Finder -> Utilities -> move all folders related to Adobe to Trash

The commands bellow will remove all these shortcuts from Launchpad:

1. AAMLauncherUtil
2. AAM Registration Notifier
3. adobe_licensing_helper
4. AASIapp
5. adobe_lichelper
6. AdobeIPCBroker

1. Open terminal and run those lines:

# find launchpad database file and clean it up

sudo sqlite3 $(sudo echo /private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.dock.launchpad/db/db) "delete from apps where title like 'AAM%' or title like 'AASI%' or title like '%IPCBroker' or title like '%adobe_%helper%';"

# restart dock/launchpad

killall Dock

0. Pay close attention to the SQL query you are writing to make sure that aren't going to remove important shortcuts. If you want to check what shortcuts will be removed, than you just do a SELECT title instead of DELETE, example bellow:

sudo sqlite3 $(sudo echo /private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.dock.launchpad/db/db)

select title from apps where title like 'AAM%' or title like 'AASI%' or title like '%IPCBroker' or title like '%adobe_%helper%';

[ctrl+c multiple times to exit sqlite3 client]

This should print something like:

194|AAMLauncherUtil|adobe.AAMLauncherUtil|||576254384.0|book?

198|AAM Registration Notifier|com.adobe.AAMRegistrationNotifier|||576519549.0|book?

206|adobe_licensing_helper|com.adobe.ngl.p7helper|||576254387.0|book?

207|AASIapp|com.adobe.AASIapp|||576254387.0|book?

208|adobe_lichelper|com.adobe.adobe_lichelper|||576254387.0|book?

211|AdobeIPCBroker|com.adobe.AdobeIPCBroker|||576254388.0|book?

If everything listed is what you wanna remove, just go ahead!

Same issue here, how do we remove this?

Can someone from Adobe reply?  I have the same issue

Open terminal;

Put the command below:

sqlite3 $(sudo find /private/var/folders -name com.apple.dock.launchpad)/db/db "DELETE FROM apps WHERE title='adobe_licensing_helper;" && killall Dock

Hit enter

Put your password

Done!

This command is working in the latest High Sierra and it does not remove the app, only remove it from the Launch Pad. You can do that to any app, just change the name to the app that you want to remove name (case sensitive and use underlines if it has spaces)

search"Adobe license helper" in your disk ,then delete the related data

Having the same issue. For me, the icon appeared yesterday after updating Creative Cloud. I haven't done anything else related to Adobe products in at least a week or two so it must be the update.

that doesn't look like an adobe file. 

the only references i see (using google) are from iboostup.com.  have you knowingly used that website?
