Activate with no internet connection

Hello, I ran into a problem this morning when I opened Photoshop and it asked me to connect to the Internet to activate my software, but I was away from home and had no Internet connection available. Is there any way to do not run into this problem? I was stuck, I'm paying for your software but I wasn't able to use it, I didn't have the luxury of time to call Adobe or connect to ask in here. Disappointing experience, but how can I solve this next time I don't have an Internet connection available?
Please tell me there is a solution, a number you send me every month after my payment is done or something. It is really embarrassing being with a client and experience this kind of issue.
Thank you.

After I activate the iphone with an internet connection..

After I activate the iphone with an internet connection on my home computer, do I ever have to have internet on my home computer for my iphone to work? Like do I need the itunes store for my iphone if I'm never going to buy anything from it or can I just use the internet connection from my iphone? Because after I activate my iphone I was thinking about canceling my internet on my home computer because I'll have it on my iphone..would that work? Thanks!

As posted above me here. One of the Requirements for an iPhone is a PC and an Internet Connection.
1. iPhone needs Internet to communicate with the servers when you do any iPhone Updates
2. iPhone needs Internet to communicate with the servers when doing a restore
3. iPhone uses internet when you connect to iTunes to confirm you are an AT&T User so you can see your number in the Summary screen
Also if you ever want to put music, tv shows, podcasts etc. On iPhone most of this comes from the iTunes Store so that requires the Internet to download the content.
Also if you want to take advantage of WiFi in your home then you need active internet if you got a Wireless Router
If you do not use Internet on a PC allot, Check into a cheap DSL package and that should suite your needs for using the internet only when you need it.

There is nothing wrong with my internet connection.
Is that a -50 error message, jolyn?
If so, perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

I have installed both Audition 3 and Photoshop CS3 on a laptop with no Internet connection. How may they be activated? The methods documented in the software don't work.

Ned, thanks for responding. Internet access is not the problem, I will have a tower computer connected to Comcast.
Isolating the laptop from the internet is the issue.

Organizer elements 11. Problem with your internet connection

I am trying to access facebook and Flickr via the Organizer with elements 11. I went to preferences and cleared the oline services, when I try to refresh the partner services I am greeted with the error " there is a problem with your internet connection, check your firewall settings" .
Windows 8, updated. I tried disabling the firewall. I have also tried making sure permissions are set up to allow all adobe products access through the frewall when it is enabled. No other network managment services or virus scanners installed. just default 64bit windows 8.
I am currently left with no partner services; facebook, flicker, picasa, etc.... I could reinstall organizer i guess to get the default services back...
I found discussions on the web but none with a solution. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4035670
Any help would be great

I apologize for the delay. An update was released shortly after I posted the question that resolved the issue. Thank you for your assistance though. As soon as I read your advice I went to my laptop to follow your instructions. Upon opening photoshop I was prompted with an adobe update message. After the update the issue was resolved. Again, sorry for not updating the situation.

Download CC versions for installation on a computer with no internet connection

So I have just signed up with CC as I am wanting to get Photoshop and lightroom
So I have a computer with no internet access, and so I would like to download the CC versions of the software on my work computer.
Once downloaded, I will install the software on the computer with no internet connection, then utilise my mobile phone to teither the computer to the internet to register the products.
So my question is how do this?
Downloading the software using the manager on my phones internet is not an option. (with 300mb per month quota on the phones not an option)
I am wanting the CC features of photoshop not CS6 so registering the cs6 version is not an option.
Also when updates come out for CC where can download those.
(we have had a change of govt so I might get 24mb/s internet in 2019)
thanks

Hi Paul,
Welcome to the Community!
You can certainly download the files on a different machine and install on a computer without internet however you should connect to internet once in a month so that we can charge your credit card.
The option to connect to internet with phone will work however updates needs to be downloaded via internet as the size might be in GB's.
To download the executable files, visit this page http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html. Remeber to follow the Very Important instructions or else the download will not start.
Thanks!

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
Does anyone have a sollution?

Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now. I already posted a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

How do I maintain license on systems with no internet connection?

I will be installing CS6 on PCs with initial internet connection, but they will be moved into a space without any internet.
How do I keep the CS6 working without the connection?
Is there a license file I can download then apply to the systems without the connectivity?

Hello Scott,
Adobe has prepared this informations: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
>>> Additional information for users who are temporarily unable to connect >>> ...I quote:
What happens if it's necessary to be offline for a while?
The Creative Cloud software makes a call to Adobe servers once a day to verify the account status.
If the account is in good standing (that is, payment is up-to-date) when the last call happens, the software status is refreshed to run for at least 99 days while being offline.
Note: Signing out and signing back in (while online) just before going offline for a long period ensures that the software works for at least 99 days without needing to connect.
The software still reminds you to connect to the Internet during this time. These reminders can be suppressed until the last 30 days, when a daily message prompts you to go online and refresh the software status.

Problem with my internet connection with Mail and others

Hi
I seem to have a problem with my internet connection that is through Ethernet. I have just downloaded the update to iLife 9 and the down load speed went from zero to 1.1BB/s but most of the time it downloads at speeds around 8KB/s also Mail some times returns mail sent but there seems to be no problem sending out only that things go faster out than in. My internet speed from my ISP is 500KB/s so as you can see I was at first happy that I was getting speeds in of 1.1MB/s. I have done a diagnostic test through network also fully run Norton and finally run utilities with no problems showing. My ISP is willing to come and have a look at my internet but I some how think it's my computer, any ideas?
Thanks

The first thing I would do is completely disable Norton AntiVirus; there are no viruses for Mac OS X, so it can't protect you from something that doesn't exist. It can, however, severely slow down your system. Do that and then restart Mail and see if the problem continues.
You should also try creating a new User account and test Mail there to see if you experience the same problem; if so, then the issue is systemwide. If not, it's something specific to your regular user account.
As for your download speed, it's not 1.1MB/s; it's 1.1Mb/s. Upload speed is slower than download speed for both Cable and DSL service. I doubt the problem is your modem/router, but you should try shutting down your Mac and the modem for a few minutes. If your modem/router has a reset button, use it, then restart it and your Mac and see if the problem continues.

I have a PC with a internet connection through a modem and ever since i have had it i have had no connection to the itunes store. And even if I try to update anything it says that i need to check my connection, but my connection is fine. What should I do?

This almost always indicates your firewall or anti-virus utilities are preventing iTunes from contacting the iTunes Store. Here is an exerpt from "Can't connect to the iTunes Store": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshooting on Windows
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day —and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues— a software or internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store. Click here to find out which ports and servers need to be allowed for iTunes Store access.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
If you have not done so already, try the steps in iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshootingto troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
Firewall issues:
Windows XP: If you've upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2: By default, Windows Firewall is enabled. As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so, see How to enable iTunes in the Windows XP Firewall.
Windows Vista and 7: As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so see, the "Blocked by software firewall" section in this article.
Proxies can cause issues and should be avoided whenever possible. To disable the proxy built-in to Windows see, iTunes for Windows Can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect.
If you are receiving a specific error message you may want to see, the "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" section in this article as needed.
If the issue still persists, contact your internet service provider and confirm that the ports and servers in this article are enabled over your network.
The "hosts" file may be blocking the iTunes Store
Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a "FixIt" to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.
Note: Some workplaces may put internal resources in the hosts file but may also use it to block iTunes Store.
To create a copy of your hosts file and replace it with an empty hosts file, follow the instructions for your operating system below.

Can creative cloud be used with intermittent internet connections?

Hi,
I have a number of clients that like to "work on the ice" if you know what I mean. They ar eall ice fishermen or work in that industry. Can CC be used with intermittent internet connections?
Thanks,
Van

Hi Van,
I copied this from the Creative Cloud FAQ:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Adobe® Creative Cloud™ desktop applications?
No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®) are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
Hope that helps,
-Dave
