Activation issues with older software, CS2

since i couldn't find a way to get kai's power tools to work with my copy of CS6, i decided to boot up an older mac running OSX 10.4 to run my copy of CS2. my old mac has been offline so long i needed to reactivate my copy of CS2, but it requires a new activation code.
what i get is this:
"Activation Server Unavailable"
"Activation was unsuccessful because the activation server is not available at this time. Please do one of the following:
-Click the Retry button
-Click the Cancel button...
-Click the Phone Activation button to activate your product over the phone"
"Error code 24:24"
i've already gone and downloaded everything adobe told me to download but that didn't help. all i want is a way to reactivate the suite i already have, not reinstall a whole new suite, at least, not if i can help it...
Please help!!

Lightroom comptibility issue with SoftRaid software

Long time user of Lightroom & Photoshop but I need to find out if Adobe has a compatibility issue with SoftRaid Software. After creating a Raid Drive with SoftRaid for my Master Lightroom Photo Library, Lightroom FAILS to MOUNT the drive within its Volumes list when LR 5 is opened?? Spoke with SoftRaid Tech Support and was directed to ask Adobe!

If Lightroom is no longer available from the Mac App Store (MAS), that was an Adobe decision to longer sell it through that distribution stream. MAS versions of apps have no serial numbers, that is an Apple requirement for a developer to sell through the MAS.
If you have a backup of your current Mac installation, you should be able to restore the MAS version of Lightroom from the backup. If not, you will need to purchase it from whomever Adobe now sells it through.

Issue with GEAR Software CD/DVD Drivers + Windows Vista Beta 2 (build 5384)

I am using Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384), and yes I know Vista is NOT officially supported by iTunes yet. However, iTunes installs and works ok for me, except that there is an issue with the GEAR Software drivers that it installs (used for cd burning and importing). The issue is that the driver (GEARAspiWDM.sys) is not compatible with Windows Vista. Normally this would not be an issue; I would just use a different program to create audio cd's. The issue is that the drive makes both my DVD-Rom and my DVD/CD-RW drive disappears (they are still listed in the device manager, but they have driver errors, code 39).
So I was wondering if anyone in Mac/Apple land knows of a way to disable/uninstall the GEAR drivers so I can still use iTunes?
And yes I did search the GEAR Software support page, but could not find an appropriate solution.
Thank you.
Chuck Stewart

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Statistics technical content activation issue with MD process chain in BI7

Hi,
Let me give you history of the issue first.
I had to activate the Statistics in BI7. I followed the SAP Note 965386 and activated the Technical Content.
Faced activation issues in MD process chain, Content Master Data-0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01. It dint get activated, Followed the SAP note 1065919, which asked me to remove the below process from RSPC and activate it.
Load data- Process Variant Attribute and
Load data- Process Variant Text.
I did the same and it got activated after removing them.
Issue is. Later knew that manually activating the Process chain from Content would have activated those Infopackages aswell.
Now how should I get those processes into the chain and activate? Based on your suggestions, I can let you know what all I have been trying to fix it?
Relying on you for solution.
Thanks
Pavan

Thank You Neethika,
I have this issue solved. I replicated the data sources, activated those infoPackages manually and then added those variants into the process chain manually. So my MD chain now has all the necessary process.
Now i need to schedule them and see if it runs with out any errors. I will keep this thread open till i run it to take your help if i get any errors while running them.
Thanks

Issues with Ipad software update.

i'm currently experiencing issues with trying to update the software on my Ipad 2 (brand new). For instance:
1. when i try to update the software for my Ipad 2, the download doesn't go through, when i'm connected to the internet (which i've checked constantly).
2. when i try to update any of my applications (when there's an update available), none of the downloads go though, when i'm connected to the internet (which i've checked constantly).
i have had no problems BEFORE, whenever it came down to updating applications, etc. on my Ipad 2. i've tried updating more than five times and still the same problem. it's getting very frustrating, please fix this!!!
p.s. - when i tried to update, a box pops up and says:
when that popped up, i even checked my network settings, etc. and reset everything, and then tried updating. but the problem is still their!!!

The eaiest solution is to download the update file directly from the links listed here:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/12/ios-5-download-available/
These are links to the Apple servers.
Pick the file that matches your device and dowload it. Connect the device to iTunes, and Option-Click the Update button (Shift-Click for Windows). This will give you a dialog to navigate to the file you downloaded.
Hope this helps

Torch 9800 Issues with updating software

Hi there I'm new to this forum and to BB.
I have been having issues with my Torch for a couple of weeks now, firstly I had issues with it when it was charging the red light and not coming on, but managed to get it to work after a bit of searching on here.
This happened regularly over the past week, then today I have the Error 507 message.
I have used Desktop Manager v5.0.1 to try and update it but I didn't have the password for the phone and after 10 attempts it wiped the phone which I wasn't really bothered about.
I am now trying to update the software but when I get to the Device Application Selection page it says that I have don't have any space left.
Is there any way around this so that I can update the phone's software?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Anyone have any compatibility issues with existing software?

Specifically, Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop 6? Last time I updated Mac OSX, I had all kinds of issues with the plugins for Lightroom and Photoshop, but I think that was more to do with going from 32 bit to 64 bit. I'm sure Mountiain Lion is still 64 bit, but I'm reluctant to update. Anyone have any issues after upgrading?

A client of mine used to have a fibrejet network. Still do but now they use it for archive only-- deep storage.
As I recall, there was some limitation as to the number of users who could have write privileges at the same time. All users could read all the time, but only one I believe could write at one time.
Don't take this as gospel because I'm old and forgetful. And grumpy.

Same Photoshop CS2 activation issue with new installer also.

Dear Adobe support team, we have downloaded the Photoshop cs2 from the link http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html. As per your suggestion I un-installed the older version and installed new version and tried to activate the product. But I have failed to activate as per your instruction. I want to get rid of activation message. Kindly also let us know what all do we have to un-install before the fresh installation.

Thanks for your support.
We are able to active CS2 in administration login. Now there is no activation message.
Now there is a different message window popping up. Every time I launch Photoshop CS2, the adobe updater message is popping up. I am not able to take screen shot of the window. We tried deactivating this in msconfig options but no success.

Can you help me with activation problems with Photoshop in CS2?

I'm running a titanium powerbook, G4 and Mac OSX 10.4.11. When I launch Photoshop CS2 this happens:
First, an error message appears in a dialog box which says exactly this: <One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.> I click the OK button.
The Adobe Activation screen shows up next. If I click Activate at the bottom of the Internet Activation screen, I get this: <Activation Unsuccessful. We were unable to activate Adobe Creative Suite. Click the Phone Activation button to speak with one of our Customer Care representatives.> At the bottom left of the screen, it says <Error code: 93:-12> I click the Phone Activation button.
The automated system fails to recognize some part of the Serial Number and Activation Number process and I speak with a person.
After more than an hour of being passed from representative to representative, it is determined that they no longer support CS 2, and that this forum is the best place to go for help.
I'm counting on you, P'shopistas! How can I activate?
Thanks in advance to all!!!

I woud try two things.
One I would uninstall the application to do so I would look in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and run the Installer to remove the Photoshop CS 2 application.
I would then look in the Users/Username/Library/Preferences and remove anything connected to this version of Photoshop same with Users/Username/Library/Cache and Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Adobe and remove anything related to PS.
Then reinstall.
if that does not work then do an archival reinstal of the system an d then reinstall.
Most important is that this software is not activated on two other computers or you will not be able to install and activate.

Toshiba M35X S109, having great issues with installing software - PLEASE help.

I have a Toshiba M35x S109 and lost my harddrive. I installed a new one and tried to reinstall software from the Toshiba Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD. When I first tried this it came up to the first page that said to press F1 for ok or F2 to cancel. I pressed F1. Then it went to the warning page telling me that all the data on harddrive would be lost if I continued. Press A to abort or C to continue. I pressed C. It took me back to the first page again. This happened over and over.
I called tech support and they told me I had a bad disc and could either get a new one or install from a full version of Windows. I tried that as I have a full version of Windows 98 and an Upgrade version of Windows XP Home Edition. I got the Windows 98 on and get to the desktop but can not seem to get the keyboard to work. Mouse works, but keyboard does not work at all. Reinstalled Win 98 as instructed by Tech Support and it worked. Then we hung up and I did as they instructed and tried installing the upgrade to Win XP home ed, but when I needed to input the product key - again the keyboard does not work. URGH.
I called tech support back again and was told the previous tech support gave me bad info. This guy said I needed to install from the Toshiba restore disc and left me with a million instructions that I did not understand on how to erase the harddrive of the Win 98 and then start over with the Toshiba restore disc.
I am so frustrated and confused and really need some good advice and help. I have the 98 installed but the keyboard is not working. The pc initially had the Win XP on it. I will likely upgrade to the Win 7 if I get this going but can't get past this issue. What should I do?????
Do I need to erase WIN 98 and start again from the Toshiba Restore Disc?
If so, why would the Restore disc not work when I initially put it in and try? This problem continues to reoccur with the old and new Toshiba Restore Disks. What else could be causing this?
Can I go from Win 98 and fix the driver issue or what ever it is and move on with the rest? How do I fix the problem with the keyboard?
ANY AND ALL HELP is very much appreciated! Thank you.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did the flash complete, or shut off prior to finishing? If the former there is a chance, but if the latter there is little that you can do at home to fix this (as in, if you need to ask you have neither the equipment or the skill set to fix it yourself).
Do you have the Intel or the ATI graphics on your laptop?
What bios revision was on the laptop originally? If you don't know that then why were you trying to update the bios as you wouldn't know what revision to install? Plus, it would have come with at least rev. 1.0 installed already so why would you want to install that again? Trying to install an older revision over a newer one won't work without some specific flags added to the command.
Did you flash from a startup disk or from Windows?
Can you get into the bios settings by pressing the F2 key (or whatever key that model requires)?
Have you tried a reset of the system by doing the following. Unplug the AC adapter, remove the battery, then press and hold the power button down for a minimum of 30 seconds. Now replace the battery and AC and see if you can now access the BIOS when it starts to power up.
Are you sure that the new hard drive is properly installed AND working correctly? Did it work prior to what appears to be a failed bios flash?
I'll try to help, but I'm afraid this might be a bad flash which will require sending (or taking) it to a qualified repair shop/technician who has the special equipment and skillset to reflash the bios using an Eprom burner and that will run you about $100 or so the last time I checked.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Offline Activation issues with Office 2010 Professional Plus

I have a volume license for 17 seats for MS Office 2010 Professional Plus, along with a MSDN license which authorizes us to have 50 seats.
I have activated the software offlline via the telephone. After about six months the licenses go inactive and requires me to reactivate the product again. This has happened serveral times.
The network consisting of three servers: One Domain Controller, two member servers one of which has Exchange 2010 and the other is the endpoint management secrutiy server. There are 17 clients with windows 7. The network does
not connect to the web.
I have been on the phone with support but the level of the help desk has not been very informative. In the 90 minutes that I was on the phone, I was directed to go to various websites, i.e. volume licensing ... these sites were not
helpful. Toward the end of the phone support I was finally transferred to a U.S. representative. This individual stated that I would need to have a support contract in place prior to recieving help for a product that should install and be activated without
an issue.
I do not have a KMS, I'm completely isolated from the Internet and would like some direction on this matter.

Hi, this is a public/community forum, not an official support channel, but we can try to help you.
VL editions of Office can be activated by either KMS product key (the default pre-embedded key) or by MAK product key.
KMS doesn't require any kind of web connection at any time (you could activate your KMS host by telephone activation. Your KMS clients then contact your KMShost only, via your internal network. No internet connection is needed)
Or, you can use MAK. MAK requires you to "install" your CSVLK product key in each computer (overwriting the pre-embedded KMSclient pkey) and then activate each computer. You can activate MAK installations via internet or telephone.
Typically, once an MAK pkey is activated, it remains activated, unless the computer is subjected to "hardware changes" or some form of data restore or recovery.
Although you don't have KMS implemented, you do seem to have enough computers (the minimum is 5) to consider KMS.
6 months is an interesting milestone. 180 days is exactly the timeframe for a KMSclient to become unlicensed if it been unable to contact a KMShost.
Perhaps you could check the current licensing configuration/status on a couple of computers, to confirm their current situation?
- on a computer, open an elevated (run as admin) CMD console
- execute: cd \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
(or on a 32bit OS, execute: cd \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
- execute: cscript ospp.vbs /dstatusall > c:\osppOUT.txt
This will produce the text file, showing all *possible* Office licenses, and the currently installed one should show as "Licensed".
You can post the results back here for us to review for you. (there is only a partial pkey displayed, so nothing sensitive will be revealed)

Issues with Win 7 & CS2. Illustrator and Photoshop have "Stopped Working"

Hi, New to this so I apologize in advance. Bought a new computer in December '09. 6gig quad processor and plenty of 500gigs of disc space. NOt a Memory Issue! Installed CS2 ( 'cause the computer took all of my money!) and all worked fine until 4 days ago. I mainly use illustrator and photoshop. When I tried to save a document... The programs simply "Stopped Working" I'm a rookie with the tech stuff so please speak slowly and simply.... I would appreciate any help as I'm losing money and work right now! Thanks

CS2 is totally unsupported under Win 7. And if you have 6 gigs of RAM I'll guess that it's a 64 bit system which simply adds to the complexity.
Sorry, but the best advice you'll get is to upgrade.
