Видимо, мое предположение верно. Вот описание работы патчера:
Adobe CC 2019 AIO Patcher (AKA: Adobe CC 2019 Zer0Cod3 Patcher) is currently the most perfect tool to crack most of Adobe Creative Cloud 2019 software products for Windows, written by Zer0Cod3. It reads a list from an online cracking source that Zer0Cod3 can edit/update, which makes sure the cracks are always up-to-date. This way, in Adobe CC 2019 AIO Patcher, you only need to click the corresponding Adobe application you installed, then the cracking work will be finished automatically by it in the background. At the same time, the author will add more Adobe applications into the online crack source, so that you even don’t have to update the patcher itself.
Т.е. он читает список из онлайн-источника взлома.
