Instructions:

Before beginning, disconnect from the internet!
Little Snitch or the HOSTS file will not help because the installer and PDApp know it is being blocked.
So make sure that lm.licenses.adobe.com and na2m-pr.licenses.adobe.com are not blocked yet before installation/activation is completed. *
Remove the domain entries from your HOSTS file if you have them in there too soon! You can do this manually or with the Reset HOSTS file to defaults.app.

1. Install any Adobe CC applications using the TRIAL option.
2. Next, you will be asked to sign in using a Adobe ID. Block with Little Snitch if you haven't disconnected from the internet. Ignore the unable to connect error and click on Connect Later to continue
3. After installation completes, launch each Adobe CC app and quit. This step is important to unlock some features! You don't need to login with a Adobe ID. Just quit at the login screen.
4. Use the update provided (if you have one) or through the Creative Cloud app or Adobe Application Manager.
5. Right click on the installed Adobe CC application to Show Package Contents and navigate to the Frameworks folder .
6. Replace amtlib.framework with cracked amtlib.framework
Save steps 9-10 until you are finished all of Adobe CC software. Do not do steps 7-8 until you have installed everything you want first!
7. Run Smart Adobe CC Blocker v1.0.app script or application.
8. Re-connect to the internet.
Done.

The updates menu item will not be usable due to the crack disabling the AMT login sequence. You do replace amtlib.frameworks with the cracked one in all apps but you don't need to backup EACH and EVERY amtlib.frameworks from all the apps. Just keep one copy of the original amtlib.frameworks from any one of the apps. That one can be used for all the apps if you need to replace it later.You can still update using the Adobe Application Manager and I've read comments about doing updates with Adobe Bridge too. You may need to re-apply the crack after some updates so don't panic if it reverts to a trial.

The 5 domains being used by Adobe CC are (2 old and 3 new):
na2m-pr.licenses.adobe.com
lm.licenses.adobe.com
ims-na1-prprod.adobelogin.com
na4r.services.adobe.com
na1r.services.adobe.com
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
* Warning!!! Do not try to block the domains lm.licenses.adobe.com and na2m-pr.licenses.adobe.com with your HOSTS file or with Little Snitch. Or you will not be able to reach the Connect Later screen or the offline activation screen. Instead, if you blocked those addresses you will always get the unable to validate serial screen instead. Remove these two domains before installing any CS6 software or you may not be able to fully unlock some software or it's extras.

2 terminal commands for anyone that wants to manually edit their hosts. A OS X account with a password is required. When you enter the first line you will be asked for your password. The password entry will be hidden and you will not see anything. But if you typed in your password correctly a copy of TextEdit will open using the root (System Administrator) account. A OS X account password is required and Terminal will not continue without one.
Command to open Textedit as root;
sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts
When done editing the HOSTS file use the command below to make sure the changes take effect immediately. Although I think from 10.6.6 onwards the HOSTS file changes are instantly implemented and an auto-flush is done.
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
Please remember to support good software developer's by buying their software after trying it.
