Error: "Your Illustrator Build has Expired"

[Steve27267442yhi0]

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 ?

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!

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

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

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

[defaultpxfzp4i7byyy]

I just updated it today....and I am still having the same error. Your illustrator build has expired.

Same here, what is going on... this is annoying holding up productivity. I may have to uninstall Adobe Illustrator Beta completely.

You can still use the general release version.

[ATVRS]

Yes, I have no problem using the general version.

But Beta illustrator is interfering with my PSD Files that had Live Illustrator layers. When I am working in those PSD files and I need to edit those AI layers, it is automatically default is to open in AI Beta (Giving me the EXPIRED ERROR”).

So I will just uninstall AI Beta completely until ADOBE figure this out. I do not have the time to deal with these hiccups in the software.
