Acrobat XI and Terminal server 2k8r2 x64

I found out that Acrobat or adobe no longer provides open licensing? So we were told to buy 5 copies with where each one can be installed twice. 
Question: How do you install the software if each license is per user and not concurrent? and having to buy 5 copies, we have 5 licenses to install? How would you go about doing that if the first installation instance only gives you one time to enter in the license key?
Adobe support wasn't very helpful over online, and I have been waiting for 2 hours to get a call back from them.

What do you mean by Open licences? From your post I can infer that you want to install an instance of Acrobat on a terminal server and you would like to connect to the server using multple clients concurrently. For this I suggest you can explore the option of Volume licensing. Volume licensing provides the option of multiple activations per serial key whereas Retail licensing gives you only 2 activations per serial key. For Terminal Server/Citrix servers, you need to get volume licenses instead of the retail ones.
I hope I have clarified your doubts...
Thanks,

  • Problem with Acroabt X Pro and Terminal Server 2008r2

    I have deployed Acrobat x Pro on a 2008 R2 Terminal Server.  Everything was going great but a while back I had to reapir the OS and re-install Acrobat and a few other Programs because of a minor virus.  I have confirmed everything is running fine and that the virsu is gone.  However, since then users prefernces and settings have not loaded up when they open up acrobat.  The pfx file is still there for all users it is simply not loading along with the rest of thier prefernces.  Has anybody seen this before and does anybody have a fix for it?

    Hi Skywalker32,
    I think Sabian is on the right track, well other than his nomenclature  being incorrect. The way Acrobat/Reader works is the list of digital ID files are store in the registry like in the example above (except you'd be looking for 10.0 in the path and either Adobe Acrobat for your Acrobat users or Acrobat Reader for the Reader users).
    So with that in mind, are you using a GPO to push the individual PFX files and are you using the Adobe Installation Wizard to customize the application (Acrobat or Reader) installs? I'm just trying to get a handle on what's in play here. Also, I thought that maybe the digital ID file location could be set as a lockable preference in the HKLM portion of the registry, but they can't so if that's what you are trying to do via the installation wizard that could be a problem (not that I think you are, I'm just taking a shot in the dark here).
    Thanks,

  • Running adobe acrobat on a terminal server & licensing purchase

    Is it possible to run both the standard and professional versions of adobe acrobat (1 license of each) on a terminal server? Each version would be security locked down to the specific licensed user.
    Also
    If you purchase adobe acrobat through licensing is it possible to purchase just one license or is there a minimum number of licenses that you can purchase? Is the better option for one license to purchase the boxed retail product?

    You have a better chance to get a helpful reply if you ask in the Acrobat forum, or even at http://forums.adobe.com/community/licensing

  • VPN Client and Terminal Server

    We have several clients that allow us to vpn into their systems and it has come to the point that we are getting software incompatabilities. What I am trying to do is set up "compatable" connections on a Terminal server box and let our people access this from their workstations. The problem is when the acuall connection thru the vpn client is made they loose connection to the terminal server. I have tried putting in 2 nic's into the terminal server and am able to allocate one for the terminal server but can not find a way to allocate the other to the VPN CLient. Is this possable or is there another way to accomplish this?
    Thanks

    Close,
    What I have is one machine with 2 nic's
    NIC #1 = Terminal Server Access (local lan only) Locked in via registry settings to use ONLY this NIC
    NIC #2 = I would like to "LOCK" the Client software to use ONLY this nic (has a dynamic IP for local lan and access to the Inet via a router.
    Problem: When you connect to the T-Server all is fine UNTIL you start up the client software to access our clients systems via the web connection to the T-Server on the local side stops and gives the appearance of a frozen screen.
    manualy disconnect person from the T-Server and kill the cisco client software then you can re-connect to the T-Server (and it all starts over again)
    The Cisco software acualy makes the connection to our clients system but we can not tell because it want BOTH the NIC's for itself and stops access via NIC#1 to the T-Server.

  • Error with SUNPKCS11 and Terminal Server

    I've found a problem when trying to create a SUNPKCS11 Provider through a Terminal Server session. My code is as simple as this:
    Provider pkcs11Provider = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(pkcs11ConfigPath);I see that it works fine in my local system, but when I run it through a Terminal Sever session, I get the ProviderException CKR_TOKEN_NOT_RECOGNIZED. The amazing thing is that if I try to do it several times, at last it works. I mean, doing that...
    Provider pkcs11Provider = null;
    while (pkcs11Provider == null) {
       try {
          pkcs11Provider = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(pkcs11ConfigPath);
       } catch (ProviderException e) {
          Throwable cause = e.getCause();
          if (!(cause instanceof PKCS11Exception && ((PKCS11Exception) cause).getErrorCode() == PKCS11Constants.CKR_TOKEN_NOT_RECOGNIZED)) {
             throw new TokenInicializationException(e);
    }...it finally works. It needs much more times to get it with JRE 1.6 (about 1500) than with 1.5 (about 10).
    I'm completely lost and I haven't found anything around about this. Can someone help me to avoid using this loop?

    When using NT Terminal Server, attempting to boot or shutdown Tuxedo can
    fail for semaphore errors.
    This is because NT Terminal Server performs "object decoration" for
    kernel objects that are created while in a remote session. For example,
    if you create a semaphore named foo locally, it will be called foo. But
    if you create a semaphore called foo while logged in remotely with
    session id 1, the semaphore name will be foo:1
    To be able to work with Tuxedo within a remote login window, "object
    decoration" needs to be turned off.
    SOLUTION:
    First make sure the tuxipc service is not running.
    Change directory into %TUXDIR%\bin
    Run Register
    Register libgp.dll /SYSTEM
    Run Register on all other dll's in %TUXDIR%\bin, it need be only run once.
    This will turn off "object decoration" for these dll's and remote admin
    of Tuxedo should no longer fail.

  • Application redraw issue over Citrix and Terminal Server

    Hi All,
    We provide a client-server application which connects to a SQL Server database. The middle-tier is hosted on an application server (Windows Server 2008 R2) which in turn connects to the SQL Server database. The fat client can either be installed on user laptops/desktops
    or published using Citix/Terminal services.
    We have a long standing issue which frankly I just cannot fathom. A customer has published the client via Citrix to users and using roaming profiles. If an employee is using the application in London, the roaming profile is created on a server in London and
    connects to the middle-tier in London. If an employee is using the application in Glasgow, the roaming profile is created in Edinburgh and the user connects to the middle-tier in London. The customer is also using DFS
    The roaming profile consists of the 'My Documents', 'My Pictures', 'My Videos', 'My Music' and 'Windows' folder. Distributed File System (DFS) is used for roaming profile folder replication between offices. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc732863%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
    The Edinburgh users are experiencing application redraw issue where the interface loads in chunks. For example, when a user scrolls up and down or left and right, the data loads immediately (from SQL Server) but the interface (GUI) loads in blocks. You can
    actually see each segment of the GUI components loading. The issue also occurs if connecting via a Terminal Server where the application is also installed.
    For London users, it all works fine. If an Edinburgh user comes to London, they have no issues.
    The network connection is super fast between the various offices.
    The application is built using C++ and Delphi and uses the GDI API to draw the objects.
    Any guidance is appreciated.

    Hello partner,
    Thanks for contacting Microsoft. This is Sophia who is going to help with this issue. From your description, I learnt that users from Edinburgh have application redraw issue. However, London users worked fine. Please let me know if I misunderstand your purpose.
    Based on the information, it seems that the issue located in the middle-tier in London. Could you try building a middle-tier in Edinburgh and then test how the issue goes?
    Besides, based on my experience and research, by default the allocation of the bandwidth is 70 percent for graphics data and 30 percent for virtual channel data, meaning when bandwidth usage is under pressure, graphics data is guaranteed to get 70 percent
    of the available bandwidth.  And we can tweak the settings a bit for some scenarios. To change the settings, we can set registry values. Please reference the information below.
    ===========================================================================================================================================
    Note: For these settings to take effect, the computer must be restarted.
    Following is the list of registry values that affect the bandwidth allocation behavior. These are all DWORD values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermDD:
    ·         FlowControlDisable: When set to 1, this value disables the new flow control algorithm, making it essentially First-In-First-Out (FIFO) for all packet requests. This provides results similar to Windows Server
    2003. (The default for this value is 0).
    ·         FlowControlDisplayBandwidth / FlowControlChannelBandwidth: These two values together determine the bandwidth distribution between display and virtual channels. You can set these values in the range of 0–255.
    For example, setting FlowControlDisplayBandwidth = 100 and FlowControlChannelBandwidth = 100 creates an equal bandwidth distribution between video and VCs. The default is 70 for FlowControlDisplayBandwidth and 30 for FlowControlChannelBandwidth, thus making
    the default distribution equal to 70–30.
    ·         FlowControlChargePostCompression: If set to 1, this value bases the bandwidth allocation on post-compression bandwidth usage. The default for this value is 0, which means that the bandwidth distribution is applied
    on pre-compressed data.
    For more information about RDP Bandwidth, please reference the article below.

  • Reader 8.1.2 and Terminal Server (2003)

    I have Adobe reader 8.1.2 loaded on a terminal server. Program has been fine until today. When some (not all) users open some (not necessarily all) PDF files, the program terminates without an error being shown.
    The server log shows:
    Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 8.1.0.137, faulting module ADMPlugin.apl, version 3.16.128.32, fault address 0x000a7bf1.
    I tried upgrading to Reader 9. But it seemed to do the same thing. Removed Reader, tried to make sure all traces were gone (went through the manual removal), and then reinstalled 8. Still doing this. Any ideas?

  • Forms developer 11g x32 and production server 11g x64?

    Hi all
    Can I develop 11g forms on x32 windows machine and run or compile them on windows server x64??
    I ask this because the media is about 3GB to download, so I need to be sure.
    thanks..

    You mean having the 32bit version of forms installed in development, and the 64bit version of forms installed in production? If you recompile your forms on your production server you should be fine.

  • How to license Acrobat in a Terminal server farm?

    How to handle the following situation, esp. license-wise:
    There are like 10 Windows2008R2 servers that make a Remote Desktop Server farm.
    There are more than 100 users RDPing to that farm.
    And five of these users need the Acrobat Pro version (all others are happy with the Reader).
    How to install deploy and LICENSE Acrobat Pro in this scenario?
    Apparently, it needs to be installed on all farm members, while most users must be denied access and only the five privileged users must be able to use the program - no matter who of them is on which farm member ...

  • Need help in setting up Group Policy for same user in local system and Terminal server

    Hi All,
    Currently our remote users are using our network using VPN client over internet.
    They are generally at their home computer and doing VPN as they have to work only in one RDP server for application.
    We actually have a OU created for these RDP users and assign then some strict policy like they can not use any other .exe,they can not user any explorer ,they can not even use windows explorer when they are on RDP they just use one exe of their application.
    Now what my management want is they want their home computers in Domain and want them to login via their same credentials they are using for RDP but they don't want them to restrict in their home computers with any strict policy.
    Now my confusion is how can I configure different policies for same users or same OU.
    Can any one guide me please...

    you can achieve this fairly easily with group policy.
    create an OU and put your remote desktop servers in that OU.
    configure both user and computer policies in a group policy and link it to that ou.
    you need to enable loopback mode - you may want it in merge or replace depending on your other policies you have. Probably replace though I would guess. this is set in the computer configuration > admin templates > system / group policy section.
    now remove the policy you have currently setup for your users on the users OU containing the rdp users. If you want you can move these users back to your main users OU.
    when your users login to the RDP server the settings in the user section of the GPO linked to the RDP Servers OU will apply.
    when the user logs in to their own computer the policies from the user OU and computer OU will apply - but not the more restrictive RDP OU.
    hope that makes sense.

  • Report Builder 9.0.4 and Terminal Server 2003

    Is anyone running this config? I'm getting intermittent crashes, and wondering if anyone else has seen the same. We are primarily using Report Builder for non-English reports, but the server's base language is English. Prior to launching Builder, we set the NLS_LANG varaible to the target language, then launch. Most crashes seem to occur in the layout editor.

    You need to set TNS_ADMIN to the director that contains the tnsnames.ora

  • ZCM and Terminal Server?

    Hi,
    We have set up a Windows 2003 TS and installed the ZENworks agent. Most things work just fine but we have one issue with bundles (bundles triggered by event: user login) being refreshed on all currently logged in users.
    That is, if user A is logged on via rdp to TS and user B logs on then all actions performed for user B is also performed for user A...!?!
    As an example we have a bundle that empties a directory (del directoryname /s /q) and bundle is triggered on user login. When user B logs in the bundle runs once again for user A.
    What could be the cause of this?
    Please advice.

    That was with 10.2. We have roaming profiles (terminalserver farm).
    Furthermore we have 2 seperate Terminalserver with Citrix Client. But on all we had the following problems:
    -very slow logins (up to 15 minutes)
    -Agent crashed (ZenworksWindowsService.exe) every day! Consequence no logins were possible until the Agent was manually restarted
    -very high memory usage (ZenworksWindowsService.exe up to 2 GB)
    -very high CPU usage
    -terminalserver applications were running very slow
    After the agent was uninstalled, the terminalserver run as they never did with the agent. Logins are ready after seconds and the user are happy again.
    Originally Posted by magic31
    How far back was that? We have two 2K3 R2 terminalservers running the 10.2 agents without issues (not using roaming profiles). Where specific processes locking up or the agent itself crashing?

  • Business One, Terminal Server, and SQL Server on the same machine

    Hi,
    We have a customer who has a machine with Win Server 2003 R2.  They are using it as a Terminal Server with Business One for multiple users and as a SQL Server.  The have memory leakage issues which they believe are caused by our add-on, which, when it fails, has over a gig of ram allocated to it.  Our add-on was created using VB .NET 2005 and should be able to depend on the GC to prevent memory leaks.  Is there something about this approach that is problematic?  Should they have SQL Server on one machine and terminal server with Business One on a different machine?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    we have many customers that have this situation. all on one server.
    the only thing that i recommend is that the server has POWER !
    4 Gigabyte RAM should be minimum and the server should have 2 quadcore processor. -> this results in 8 cores and enough power.

  • Bootcamp Win Server 2008 x64 - No network

    I have no networking either wired or wireless with Bootcamp and Windows Server 2008 x64.

    I had the same problem but I came up with a solution. Since I was following some instructions on using Win server 2008 as a workstation I saw that it mentioned downloading Everest Ultimate Edition (trial version worked) to find out what the hard ware was that needed a driver. When I did this I saw that the network device was listed as a Intel 82574L. After finding the name of the hardware I went to "computer management" and clicked on "device manager." From there I double clicked on the network device, clicked on the reinstall driver; from there browse for driver software & let me pick from a list. Select network adapters - intel - and then on the Intel 82574L. Once it installed the network came right up. Hope that helps you out & good luck!
