Re-serialization of Adobe CS6

We've serialized Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium with AAMEE 3.0's serialization file. If we wanted to re-serialize with a different serial number or change the Adobe ID or both, would you create a new serialization file with the new details and run that (so that the previous serialization info would be overwritten), or would you need to unserialize first?

It seems that when you create a new serialization file and run that it will overwrite the old one. So easiest way is to do it is to create a new one and then run it.

  • Trying to Serialize Trial version of Adobe Cs6 Design Standard on Mac

    Hi,
    We have created a Trial package of Adobe Cs6 Design Standard using  AAMEE 3.1 latest version. We followed the guidelines outlined in    
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html  to create a Serialization file. However when we try to Run the Command in terminal "AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml" we get an error which states AdobeSerialization command not found.  Am I missing something here while running the command? Serialization  workflow creates a output folder containing AdobeSerialization executable file  and a prov.xml file. Can't we run the executable directly without using any command on Mac?  We are in the process of using this workflow in order to  streamline the licensing in enterprise. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vishnu Kulkarni

    Hi,
    If you are getting the "Adobeserialization command not found" error, it is not able to find the AdobeSerialization at the path you have mentioned. You should give the path of the folder where the AdobeSerialization is kept on your machine. Please retry it and let us know in case of any error. Return code of zero means success.
    If you are using AAMEE 3.1 and if you use imaging, you need got go through the route of creating the trial package, deploying the trial image and then serializaing the client machines using serialization executable after deploying the trial packages on client machines. The machine-to-license binding is removed in AAMEE 3.1, so you just need to create a serialized packge using AAMEE 3.1, take its image and deploy it on client machines. The licensing will not break on client machines and everything will work fine. So there is no need to create a serialization executable.
    If you have already created a master machine (the machine whoose image is created and deployed) with Adobe products installed in trial, create a serialization executable and run it on the master machine using the command line -
    AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize--stream --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml
    where
    --tool=VolumeSerialize specifies that the tool needs to process the prov.xml file to serialize.
    --provfile specifies the absolute file path to the prov.xml file,
    By default, the tool looks for the prov.xml file in the same directory as the executable file and so
    typically you do not need to specify this option. (Specify this option only if the prov.xml file is in some other location.) .
    This will serialize your trial products and you can take its image and deploy it on client machines. Again, the licensing will not break on client machines and there is no need to run the serialization executable on all client machines seperately.
    if you have already deployed Adobe products on client machines in trial mode, you need to serialize all the machines using the AdobeSerialization tool. Please run this tool with command line -
    AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml.
    This will serialize the Adobe Products.
    While taking the above routes, make sure that the package is created using AAMEE 3.1 only. The machine-to-license binding of CS6 is removed only in AAMEE 3.1 release version. This will not work for packages created using AAMEE 3.0 or AAMEE 3.1 beta version.

  • Adobe CS6 randomly asks for reactivation (Deployed using AAMEE 3.1)

    Hi All
    We've deployed Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium using AAMEE 3.1 to about 500 workstation across our school campus.  However, we're having a really weird issue where either the licensing screen will randomly pop up asking for reactivation (7 days) or the program requested will just fail to run.  If I try to reactivate using the wizard onscreen it says I don't have a valid internet connection.  This causes a lot of frustration for our users (and me!!)
    The only work around I found to it is to re-serialize using a serialization package made with AAMEE.  I'm considering adding it to a start-up script to re-serialize every PC when they are booted up each day but it it seems ridiculous to need to do this.  I thought AAMEE removed all activation checks and prompts, this doesn't seem to be the case here??
    I've had a look around the forums and while there are similar issues I haven't found a resolution to this, any help/suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Hi,
    you should be able to package product and their updates via AAMEE 3.1. if some package doesnt contain updates, you can also modify the package using AAMEE and add updates to it.
    please share PDApp.log and installer log file generate on client machine. For details of location please refer to page 112-113 in Enterprise deployment guide.
    please send across these logs to email id: [email protected]

  • Adobe CS6 Trial

    Hi,
    I have Adobe CS6 Master Collection installed on my master image in trial mode. I serialize CS6 after sysprep is complete using the serialization .exe. All works well. The question I have is:
    1. When the trial period expires for Adobe CS6 on my master image, how can I run updates to keep it up-to-date? I'm assuming it won't allow me to update the suite. I manually update the suite on my master image.
    Do I need to serialize the CS6 suite on my master image then deactivate the suite before sysprep?
    Thanks,
    Ivano

    Hi Ivano,
    To answer your question -
    1. Trial expires after 30 days.
    2. Updates can be applied using RUM. please download RUM from - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/aameetools.html
    its documentation is available here - http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/aameetools/aameetools_rum_docs.pdf
    If you want roll out image where you have deployed Master collection, then install a trial package on one machine, creates its image and roll out image to other machines. Then run AdobeSerialization executable on all machines to serialize it.
    thanks,

  • PSE 10  and Adobe CS6: When running silent install help is not working afterwards

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If not: Please help me find the correct one.
    I have a big issue with Adobe CS6 (and former versions like Photoshop Elements 10): When installing it from DVD running GUI everything is working fine afterwards. If I install e.g. Photoshop Elements 10 using "Silent Installation" help is not working afterwards. It states that it cannot locate the URL. I have not installed AIR and also do not plan to install it.
    I have 'played' a little around with Common Files\Adobe\helpcfg and help directory. Now at least I do not get an error message but still it's not the online help which opens in the browser but the web page that is defined as 'home'.
    The same I see now in Adobe CS6. I have e.g. packaged After Effects and Illustrator and when deploying it I'm not able to open help as well and I fear that this is the same issue.
    Has anyone deeper knowledge about how "helpcfg" is working? Any example files? Any other help appreciated as well.
    Kind regards
    János

    @hannilator Have you checked the exceptions folder contents for instructions on how to push to logged off computers? Here's what I get when I package CS6 (DesignWebPrem) and excude AIR/CHC:
    After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.
    IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_exceptions
    NOTE: The installation commands provided below will work when the user is logged in to the client machine where the package is being deployed. For the scenario where the user is not logged in, prefix the following string to the command:
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
    As an example, here is the command to install "Adobe AIR" when the user is not logged in to the client machine (assuming Adobe AIR is part of the package):
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'` Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent

  • Hanging problem with Adobe CS6 in Mountain Lion

    I recently upgraded my retina Macbook pro to Mountain Lion and was having some trouble with Adobe CS6 apps hanging on startup among other things (including iCal crashing on startup)
    I did a clean install of Mountain Lion and Manually rebuilt my applications folder so that Adobe MAster COllection was installed freshly on a clean install of ML.
    Now it is still sporadically hanging when I try to open Photoshop, Bridge or other Adobe apps. The only thing that seems to fix it is a restart which is inconvenient when you're in the middle of work.
    ANy ideas?

    Thanks for this. I had heard of the fonts problem some people have had. All my fonts were freshly installed by either the system or Adobe when I installed Master Collection. Following your advice, I just verified every font and the only problem that showed up (as you had predicted) was a minor duplication which I corrected. So, it seems unlikely to be the fonts.
    As for your other point, I have been using Final Cut Pro X and that has worked fine. The only other app that has given me trouble has been Calendar which seems to get strangely stuck sometimes while it is updating. Makes me wonder if there's something going on with the network I'm using. 
    One thing I hadn't thought of was that it could be a problem with gfx card switcher. This seems unlikely but I'll try disabling it and see if that helps.
    Weirdly, today when I had this issue, Photoshop loaded up ok but then hung when I tried to load any file into it. Bridge wouldn't start at all. I didn't try the others. Yesterday I was having problems with Illustrator.
    Anyway, I see what you mean about it not being a widespread problem - which is why I started this thread. It seems no one else is having any issues. If anyone else knows what I should look for in my configuration please let me know.

  • Adobe cs6 products failing to work

    I have been having problems with my adobe cs6 creative suite software, (Bridge, fireworks, dreamweaver) work as normal but with Photoshop works sometimes then on occasions shuts itself down whilst Indesign and Illustrator are failing to open altogether just close down. Am i having to re install the products?

    Did you install using a Cloud download, or do you have the CS6 standalone version?
    Either way, you should run the cleaner if you do reinstall

  • Adobe cs6: extracting files, installer detects issues. Using Photoshop, the program crashes quickly.

    I'm in the process of downloading Adobe cs6, and when I extract the downloaded files, installer detects a machine restart is pending, but even after restarting the computer, and retrying to extract the files the issue persists. So I tried ignoring the problem, (as that is one of the options) and completing the download, but then when I go ahead and use Photoshop, I only get to use it for less than 20 seconds and the program completely shuts down. I have no clue how to fix this problem.
    I've tried unistalling Adobe cs6 and reistalling it multiple times, but no luck.
    I've also downloaded the update published by adobe today (11/26/2012) but i still have this problem.
    I don't know how to solve this issue, doesn anyone have any suggestions as how to fix it?
    i'm using windows 7, and AMD Professional firepro graphics card

    I probably dont want to go to Mountain Lion either because I've heard that it will slow down my computer, So, Lion 10.7 will be the perfect OS X for me.
    I have ne newest release of Snow Leopard installed and works great.
    Thank you ALL for your help.

    you will be ok updating to the new software but there will be some trade off. i have 3 macbooks 2006 that are all running the latest versions.
    some of the trade off are
    1-2 less of battery life
    slow wake ups from sleep
    slower start up time about 30-40 seconds longer then what you have now
    the operating system will use high % of your processer while idealing
    these are not the things you want to hear about a new os compared to the old one but this is how it is even with a new macbook pro. but it's not the end of the world. just make sure you have at least more then 2GB of ram and have a good harddrive and you will be ok.

  • The spinning "wheel of death" does NOT go away! I've loaded too much stuff on my computer (including the entire Adobe CS6 software) and I want to delete everything on my macbook pro and start over? How do I clean everything up without buying MacKeeper?

    I use my MacBook Pro (Late 2009) for EVERYTHING and I have loaded so many apps, even doubles of some, I think!   My computer is running really SLOW and I think it is because I don't have enough memory. 
    I just installed the new Adobe CS6 and that was a BIG mistake.  The spinnning wheel of death doesn't stop! I wish I could load that program on my computer so I can use it "on the go", but I can't stand the spinning wheel! 
    I want to clean up my computer and get rid of EVERYTHING on it!!     Then, re-install the factory settings to run Lion.  I believe this will make the wheel stop spinning.
    However, how do I make sure that all of the extra stuff that is attached to the app, ( including all the cache') is deleted too?   I don't want to have to buy MacKeeper! 
    I am hoping the computer wizards or the apple team can give me an answer on how to clean up everything and start over.  I have saved everything on my desktop mac. 

    Thank you so much for the help!  I had heard bad things about MacKeeper and I don't want to screw up my macbook  any more than it already is!  I will do as you suggest.  Do you believe this is the best solution for the problem I described?
    Should I load my Adobe Creative Suite 6 (in the cloud version) on an external hard drive? 
    I am so tired of this spinning wheel....should I avoid putting the CS6 on my macbook pro altogether?
    I have it on my desk top mac, but wanted to be able to take the photo editing with me when I am "out and about".  I know I should probably buy the ipad, which would transport much easier, but even the ipad probably doesn't have the capacity to hold all the Adobe CS6 apps, correct?

    I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
    I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
