Activation servers down, no failsafe... a working day wasted

This morning my PSCS5 extended subscription couldn't reach the activation servers... they are down (so says the Adobe helpdesk guy)... Try in 24 hours?!?!?!
How can be that there is no failsafe??? I wasted a working day and I guess Adobe won't pay a dime right?
Outrageous!

Hi Jeff,
the server just became available here so now it works again. It doesn't allow any 30 days trial, launching PS I had the activation panel popping up and I was just able to try again or quit... I did activate the product as I've been working since day 1 of my subscription. It's 9.30PM here... and I have to catch up with the work that I couldn't do today... Really Adobe needs to put in place a failsafe to allow bypassing these situations. It's absurd that having a standing subscription there is no way around a connectivity problem

    I am having a similar issues with you.
    In my case, it is an ipod touch with beta ios7 with legit UDID.
    It has been telling me that the activation server might be temporarily down since two weeks ago or even more.
    Is the server really down?

  • [Activation] Apple iOS Activation servers down?

    Hi, today i was trying to update my iPhone 4S from iOS 5.0 to 5.1.1. No problems restoring it, but when i try to activate it, the process fails every time. It seems that Apple Activation servers are down?
    Im a computer enthusiast and have already checked my home network for issues that can block access to apple servers, also checked from another network and machines, but still no luck. Tried to activate using WiFi on my iPhone, 3G network, and even Connect to iTunes on my PC. I noticed that apple activation server is gs.apple.com. Pinging it from any source on my network just generates timeouts, and even tried to ping it from online pages that provide ping service (ping.eu), but it generates timeouts too.
    This is happening since about 3 hours ago, and im still with my iphone waiting for activation, cant restore backups neither. It seems that my iphone, for now, its only filling space on my protective case.
    I attached a traceroute and pings from my network and from an online page that provides it, also Screenshots of both errors on my iPhone and iTunes.
    Thanks.

    Hi, to activate your iPhone using wi-fi:
    1) Connect to your wi-fi then press the home button and press more wi-fi settings
    2) A blue arrow should appear next to you wi-fi name, press the blue arrow
    3) On the DNS section input 8.8.8.8 and then try the activation again.
    Hope this helps

  • Activation Servers Down?

    Hello all! I know this has been asked before, but it seems to be a recurring problem. Are the Apple Activation Servers offline?
    My wife's iPhone 4s glitched yesterday so I did a software restore. The phone wants to "activate" but I keep getting the message that the "activation server is temporarily unavailable". I have been getting this message for the past 24 hours. Any one else having the issue or know of a solution?
    I have tried the "turn it off and on again" routine, as well as the "restore in DFU mode" about six times and still no luck.
    Am I just at the mercy of Apple to get their servers back up and running or is it something else that I am missing?
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Kelly

    BK,
    I actually had to go to my local Apple store and meet with a Genius for an hour. What it turned out to be was some "policy" setting.
    I read the documentation that the Genius found, and didn't totally understand it, and I am a tech guy by trade. But it apparently had something to do with a setting in my account back at the Apple Mothership, or a check box that didn't get checked on their end.
    So he submitted a rapid response ticket to Apple Tech Support and in about an hour the phone activated and was back up and running.
    The way he explained it to me is that there are thousands of settings in our accounts back at Apple, and if one little check box goes awry, it can keep the phone from activating. So why it happened, I have no idea and neither did they. But did they get it fixed? Yes.
    I hope that helps. But if you can, either give Apple a call, or head to a local store.

  • My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine.  Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

    My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine.  Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

    I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring.  During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected.  Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day.  Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected.  It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should.  If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected.  With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month.  The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again.  It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

  • I went to turn on my device but it says i need to activate it even though i already did like 2 years ago and when i go to put in my apple id to reactivate it it says the activation servers are down but ive been trying for hours I 3 runon sentences.

  • FYI - Activation Servers

    Just thought I'd post a little FYI for anyone out there
    looking for another reason to upgrade to RoboHelp 7.
    Last week, we reinstalled two licenses of RH X5.02, but
    weren't able to activate either one. When I called Support on
    Tuesday, 7/22 (since activation over the Internet doesn't seem to
    work for X5), they said "call back on Thursday." I did, then they
    said the activation servers are still down, probably until sometime
    this week. They gave me a link to a patch, which I can use in the
    interim.
    Me: Are the activation servers for version 7 working?
    Adobe: Yes, they're working fine.
    Me: and the servers for version 5 are not?
    Adobe: That's correct.
    It's understandable, I guess, since 5 is an older product and
    they no longer provide support plans for it.
    Jim

    Excuse me for bringing this up again, but my coworker--who isn't in today--said she did as instructed in the TechNote, and rebooted, but still gets the activation dialog when she tries to use RH X5. It was recently reinstalled after she was upgraded to a newer machine, still running XP.
    I'm trying to help her with this. Referring to the TechNote below,
    --1) On the Adobe download page referred to in the TechNote, I don't see the 5.0.1 patch explicitly listed. There is a 501 file under the download for Word 2003 Support Update. Is that the one?
    --2) Does step 3 of the Tech Note refer to the .exes of the 501 and 502 patches? If not, then what? I downloaded and saved the patches when they were issued, and I don't see a Robohtml.exe or a Robohelp.exe among them.  I have a RHO_x501.exe and a RHO13_x502.exe.
    Thanks,
    Mike
    Turn off activation with RoboHelp X5.
    Due to activation issues with Adobe RoboHelp X5, the following may be completed to turn off activation with RoboHelp X5.
    Install RoboHelp X5.
    Install Patch X501 and X502 from the following link: http://www.adobe.com/support/robohelp/downloads.html
    Download RoboHelp.exe and RoboHTML.exe and replace the installed versions with the downloaded versions. The installed versions are in <Install Directory of X5>/RoboHELP/RoboHelp.exe and <Install Directory of X5>/RoboHTML/RoboHTML.exe respectively.
    You now will be able to run Adobe RoboHelp X5 without any activation.

  • Received from Apple new iPhone 4s but can not activate.  Screen states activation servers not available.  What's next step?

    I purchased a new iPhone 4s as a replacement for a 3GS.  The phone starts up with configuration, recognizes my home network wi-fi, but for the past 3 days, all I can advance to is the activate your phone screen.  I have tried through iTunes, Wi-Fi and cellular and while each has a different wait time initially, in the end it is the can't activate the phone message with the description that the activation servers are unavailable.  Considering that the first iPhone 5 will start this process tomorrow, if the servers aren't prepared now, what will be happening to everyone tomorrow?  I am in Oklahoma and all of my devices received the updated IOS 6 without problems, but this new phone is just waiting.

    When Apple replace an iPhone and  the faulty one is  locked to a carrier in this case it will be T-mobile ( they do not sell unlocked iPhones) they will replace the iPhone with a locked one to that carrier
    So in theory you should have an iPhone locked to T-Mobile
    Call Apple and they can tell you if it is locked and to which carrier .
    I am also doubtful that a BB sim will work in an iPhone even if unlocked due to BB Messenger

    from this report what i am getting is year and its 12 months but my requirement is i will give date using select options and i should get the total no of  working days in b/w this date.

    Use the following code to find no of working days b/w given date. Use the correct factory_calendar_id in the function module. L_DAYS will display the required result:
    PARAMETERS: p_date1 TYPE sydatum,
               p_date2 TYPE sydatum.
    DATA: date1        LIKE scal-date,
         date2        LIKE scal-date,
         correction   LIKE scal-indicator,
         calendar     LIKE scal-fcalid,
         factorydate1  LIKE scal-facdate,
         workday1      LIKE scal-indicator,
         factorydate2  LIKE scal-facdate,
         workday2      LIKE scal-indicator,
         l_days TYPE scal-facdate.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'
      EXPORTING
        date                       = p_date1
        correct_option             = '+'
        factory_calendar_id        = 'US'
      IMPORTING
        date                       = date1
        factorydate                = factorydate1
        workingday_indicator       = workday1
      EXCEPTIONS
        correct_option_invalid     = 1
        date_after_range           = 2
        date_before_range          = 3
        date_invalid               = 4
        factory_calendar_not_found = 5.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'
