Adobe CS6 Licensing & Activation file locations

We use Vmware Horizon Mirage to keep our images up to date and are running into an issue with CS6 activations. Basically with Mirage we can make changes to a Base layer then push those changes to our machines, but we found a couple of years ago with CS4 that this "updating" process would strip out the licensing and activation every time we updated the base layer. So after tons and tons of digging we found the folder (c:\ProgramData\FLEXnet) and registry entry(Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AdobeViewer) that we needed to tell Mirage not to mess with and this fixed the issue for CS4. So now that we've moved to CS6 we are having the same issues and need to find the coordinating folders and files, I've looked in the usual areas but I'm assuming it's completely different since Adobe changed their activation processes up(which suck by the way). Would anyone happen to know these off the top of your head?

Oh I see,
The window looks so similar to other activation windows, I had only ever seen the DPS login for CS5 which was in the Panel.
Be good for this window to have some text that relates to DPS. Maybe Sign in to DPS or you must sign in with an Adobe ID to use the Digital Publishing Suite and the Folio Builder.
Thanks

Adobe CS6 and m4a files

Adobe CS6 opens and edits m4a files on my Mac like a champ. When I try to do the same on my PC, all kinds of error screens. What gives?
Any simple solutions?
Thank you.

I don't know what the exactly correct answer is (there may not be one), but this is all going to be down to codecs on the PC version. M4a is something that Macs handle inherently, and the codec for turning them into wav files and back again (this is the only file type that Audition handles) is part of Core Audio. Same does not apply to PCs, unfortunately. I think that the provision has been improved in CC, but it has also been suggested that unfortunately, the best way of handling this is to use an external converter...

CS6 perpetual Mac is version 13.0.6 Windows is version 13.0.1.3 Subscription cloud version is 13.1.2. If you have a cloud subscription and a perpetual licence you would not be able to have both version install at the same time on same machine. What does your Creative Cloud desktop application show and if you start CS6 if the flash screen shows or you can get to menu Help>About Photoshop what version i shown 13.0.6 or 13.0.1.3 or 13.1.2?

My files located in user/appdata/roaming/adobe for photosho cs6 are totally gone

hi i recently recovered my laptop and reinstalled adobe cs6 , i ran it and got the error 1 code , i found the solution as being registry issues so i fixed everything but still got the code then i went to this page http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html coincidentally and i found that EVERY FILE LISTED IN THE DIALOG BOXES ARE MISSING FROM MY user\appdata\roaming\adobe folders, i mean the .psp format files like the Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp , Color Settings.csf etc files , so my guess is when my laptop was backing up it failed to backup my files from the adobe follder in the'roaming' folder so everything there associated with photoshop cs6 including colors are missing , and my installation disc is with my dad , hes travelled for six weeks and i am a FREQUENT photoshop user , i use it on a average of 168 hours at least per week so i really want to know if i can download these files any where else or if someone would be kind enough to track their files and email them to me [email address removed] thanks alot

The preference files are created when you successfully launch Photoshop, they are not created by the installation process. Since you have not done that yet, you do not have these files.
You cannot simply backup the files in the application and restore them to a new computer. You have to run the installer, part of the installation process will lock the application to that specific computer, the files will not work on another computer. You can download the installation files from Adobe.com and install from there.

How do I enter CS6 license key when Adobe Application Manager immediately tries to authenticate against my expired Creative Cloud membership?

I have CS6 Master Suite installed along side my now-expired Creative Cloud apps (I am evaluating whether to renew my subscription at this time). Both CS6 and Creative Cloud are currently unlicensed due to a snafu with my educational license, but I have a new CS6 license that I am trying to register CS6 with. However, upon launching any CS6 program, Adobe Application Manager then launches and tells me that my Creative Cloud membership is now expired. How/where to I enter my CS6 license key? I have already tried entering my new license on my Adobe account profile > “My products and services”, and reinstalled CS6 applications from my original disk image (MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.dmg).
Thanks in advance,
Liz

Figured this one out from another thread, after which I was able to sign in again with my Adobe ID and my software was ready to use:
Windows:
Delete these folders
SLStore from C:\ProgramData\Adobe
SLCache from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
OOBE from C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\Adobe
Mac:
Delete SLStore and SLCache from /Library/Application Support/Adobe
Delete OOBE from ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

Adobe CS6 crashes after opening a file authored in CC but saved in CS6 format

I generally create my project assignments for school on the Mac side of my computer (10.9) using Adobe CC 17.1 (latest version). However, if I am not done, and need to do my normal job, I just bootcamp over to Windows 7, and use CC there to finish the job.
I then save the AI file in CS6 format via CC, and submit it to my instructor. However, in both instances (both projects I submitted tha were converted to CS6), they wouldn't open on my instructors Mac CS6 client. No error showed up, nothing froze, Adobe CS6 just showed the splash screen, then closed. Nothing else. She was able to view them in another reader, but of course, that causes issues.
Normally the workflow is like this:
My Mac (10.9): Open CC Illustrator, and design the work.
My Windows 7 (Bootcamp): Open saved CC AI file and continue work.
------(same system): Save CC AI file as CS6 (on windows or mac, either one has producted this result)
Submit to instructor.
Instructor opens on CS6 on her Mac, and it just will not open.
I am wondering if perhaps there is a conversion issue between CC on Mac side, and opening it on CC windows side, and then saving it.
I may have more information, assuming my instructor provides some more details about her mac, etc. But, right now, that's all I have.

Is there anything in Event viewer that might provide a clue? Are you using the same font manager/font server on all systems that you tried to open the file? Any possibility of trying to open on a Mac, where we might be able to get a real crash report? (I'm on Windows as well.) :( Try setting the prefs to not check links on open and see if that makes a difference, and uninstall any font activation plugin if you have one. I don't use a font' manager here -- never found one I thought was any good that I could make work with my system (Font Agent Pro was a candidate, but didn't like my user profiles being on drive D:).

I am trying to re-install Photoshop CS6. The files have downloaded but I get and error message that the Adobe Support Advisor is required to determine what the installation probIem is. I click on the link that says "get the Support Advisor here only to be told the Support Advisor no longer exists!! A blind loop. I need to have Photoshop CS6 installed...what do I do from here??

The CC Cleaner Tool assumes the Akamai Download Manager is activated and it has not. It seems to be the missing file that triggers the error message. \in a previous re-install I was prompted to download & install the Akamai Download Manger, but not this time. Is there somewhere on the Adobe website that I can download it??

How to Reset Photoshop CS6's Preferences File | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

In this episode of The Complete Picture, Julieanne demonstrates two methods for one of the most common trouble shooting techniques: resetting the Photoshop Preferences.
http://adobe.ly/QPZVvn

Been looking for one of your tutorials referencing the kind of problem I seem to be having, but haven't located it. It concerns Photoshop CS6 and saving files to jpeg when an image has been created using levels and layers. The problem is this:
Recently I got Photoshop CS6 and started using Layers. I put stars into a night sky. Followed basic proceedures starting with noise filters and reducing the number of stars through levels and screen settings etc, I created an image that started with thousands of stars to around a hundred or so. I added some light to the stars and some color, then saved it as a photoshop image. All fine. When I tried to save the image as a jpeg, some of the layers went missing and the final saved image contained all the thousands of stars I started with. Is this a bug in the program and if so is there a fix for it. If there is another way to get around this problem and allow me to save the image as a jpeg without losing layers, that would be fine as well. I've tried grouping layers and images together and other collective methods, but the end results are still the same. Layers go missing and the sky is filled with all the stars (noise filter settings), not the finished product.
Thanks in advance
Lorne R.
