Aperture Licensing Problem

I'm in serious Deep S. I'm on the other side of earth from my license number which has suddenly decided to disappear. What should I do? How can I get my Aperture program to work? I just downloaded the Aperture update and it didn't fix it. Why did this happen? How can I fix it now? I have much photography to put on my computer right now! HELP!!
I did not upgrade to Leopard, and am using 10.4.10. I won't have internet access after tonight for several weeks, and I don't even know how to e-mail Aperture in order to ask for a replacement license. Any ideas?

Aperture License Problems

Hi,
My Mac was stolen and I just bought a replacement MacBook Pro. When I enter the Aperture license number it says that the trial has expired (I did however buy the full version a year ago, following a trial run).
I have followed one of the support tips which is to navigate to the ProApps folder and delete the Aperture System ID file. I have done this but I still get the same message.
Does anyone know how I can enter the serial no.?
Thanks
Ben

Is this any use to you?

New hard drive and photoshop license problem

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 2 GB of RAM, and Win Xp/Pro SP3.
The hard drive in this computer failed, and it has been replaced. I used an image backup from Acronis True Image 10 to "restore" the new disk.
Now, when I try to open Phostoshop CS2, I receive a message that the license is no longer valid (I have been using this version of Photoshop for a long time).
I don't have this problem with InDesign CS3 (v. 5.0.2), FrameMaker 7.2b144, or Acrobat 8.1.6.
I didn't find any helpful info on the "Product Activation" web page.
I tried a forum search and a search of Adobe.com using the search criteria "new hard drive and photoshop license problem."
The only relevant item I could find is this:
"Backup and restoration of your system using standard tools do not require reactivation. While reactivation after backing up or restoring the system was required in early versions of Adobe software (such as Adobe Photoshop® CS), Adobe has continued to improve the activation process with new technology that eliminates the need to reactivate after system restoration. In complex situations where the system is being upgraded, we recommend deactivating the Adobe software before commencing the system upgrade. Once the system upgrade is completed, the subsequent install/restore will require reactivation, which is typically accomplished without difficulty and is completely transparent to the user."
So does that mean I have to "reactivate" Photoshop CS2? If so, do I use the Activation window that is displayed when I open Photoshop? The serial number has 20 characters. Will the Adobe (re)activation recognize this old serial number? If not, what do I have to do to get this product usable again?
Please help.

>replaced your hard drive and CS2 DRM is looking for the old hard drive number and not finding it
Interesting... I use http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm which creates a bootable CD and runs outside of Windoze
I have made image files and loaded those files to a new hard drive (I use drive swap hardware to make a backup and create a new drive every time I install or uninstall major software) and have never had any program complain about needing activation
But, since the program I use is Linux on a bootable CD, it copies EVERYTHING on a hard drive, even the hidden registration areas as far as I can tell, so when I do a restore to a new drive, everything is put on the new drive

Old Mac died. Have PE 9 and while it installs I get a licensing problem I have the original discs and the serial. How do I fix this? I don't need the new version and I just want to use what I have already paid for. Error 213:5

Did you migrate over the data from your old computer? If so, there's probably something you brought over that knows it's not on the same hardware as before. In that case you need to run this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
and then go around and manually remove all the bits and bobs, not just from applications but also from hard drive>library>application support>adobe and from your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you. You have to go looking on your own.
If that's not it--you just a message that you've used up your activations, you need activation support:

License Problem .. what do I need ...

Dear all !
I have some license problems .. and want kindly ask for
advise ..
I had time fixed license which works fine ..
and then I got an update for the license ..
and merged the old and the new license with
the updateLicensefile.sh script ..
But when I start a container with > startWebLogic.sh
I got WebLogic: license has expired on Thu Sep 13 12:00:00 CEST 2001!
. and he seems not recognize the new license ..
So I tried to check which parts are missing ..
Expried is Connector, QASuite .. do I need them ?
For WebLogic, "SSL/Export, 2PC, In-memory Replication - Servlet,
In-memory Replication - EJB. EJB 1.1, EJB 2.0, JMS, Cluster,
Clustered JMS, jDrivers ..I have new licenses .. but
they are in a new license-group .. not
longer in release="6.1"
<license-group format="1.0" product="WebLogic Server" release="*">
So I'm really confused, what to do .. and
what is the missing license ?
My customer number is : DEU100683
Can anybody be so kind to help me out of this ?
The other question is, does BEA also provide normal
access to the newsgroups via nntp .. I would
prefer this .. which one is the nntp server ?
Thanks a lot !
Frank

Frank,
The java weblogic.Admin LICENSES utility lists the license that the server
is using.
If you had multiple licenses and did not know which one was being picked
this utility will help you.
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61//////adminguide/cli.html#1134397
Regarding the documentation error can you paste the url where you found the
error. I will make sure I inform the person responsible for that.
Regarding the information returned by the license utility I will follow up
with Engineering to check if it would be possible to change the format
returned.
Thanks

Frank ,
Regarding the UpdateLicense-script issue, the order in which the new
license is appended should not matter. As long as the server is able
to read the information from that file.
Please refer to this url for more information on the showLicenses
utility. This utility will provide information on what license the
server is using.
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/////adminguide/utils.html#1117307
Hope this information helpsDear Raj !
Thanks a lot at first ..
but :
java utils.showLicenses .. doesn't really help , because
on the workstation it brings me : java.lang.NullPointerException ..
without
any further information and without stack trace ( this should be added
of course )
I also used .. weblogic.Admin which works to show the licens
information ..
but t seems only to list the contents of the license.bea in another way
not whether any of the liences makes sense and is valid ..
Then I also tried :
java utils.writeLicense ..
not very helpful too in this case .. also list only
the contents .. something like : you have a valid license
until xxx .. of this yyy components would help
more ..
BTW .. the documentation is wrong .. the Property is : bea.home ..
not bea.system.home .. and the example on a unix console with
-Dbea.home=d:\bea60 shows two things
a) this was not updated for 6.1 ..
b) you differ not , whether you are on unix or dos .. but you should
But this is all not important .. shows only that also BEA if far away
from being perfect,
this is from a developer point of view good .. because everyone is
failing somehow
every day .. but the license problem should not occure !
I sent the problem on Thuesday to the support , to see what can be done
so far no answer !
Thanks again for your kind help and hints !

2012 Licensing Problem

I would like to make everyone aware of an issue with RDS and the FIX from Microsoft services which I consider unacceptable.
The setup is as follows. One 2012 DC with Terminal server licensing installed. Two 2012 servers with RDS enabled. Take note that RDS was NOT deployed using the wizard as there is no need
for all of the resources of a server farm for 2 servers. On each of the RDS enabled servers, group policey was used to enable and specify the RDS server and licensing mode. The RD Licensing Diagnoser was used to verify, and report that no licensing
problems for the Remote Desktop Session Host Server existed, and the tray icon that reports that you are running a trial version of RDS does NOT appear.
Advance forward a few months and users start reporting that they cannot login and that they are receiving “The remote session was disconnected because there are no RDS license servers available
to provide a license."
After doing all that I could I filed a case with Microsoft Support at the Highest Level Possible. After a month I finally was able to talk to someone. After 2 more weeks, here is the solution
they gave me….
Open the registry, Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\RCM
Delete the GracePeriod Key
Reboot
This continues to occur every few months. I wish someone at MS would FIX the problem.
Lee

sure.
i have 5x 2012 RDS farms, nearly identical in configuration dispersed throughout the globe, each farm has:
2x RDSH
1x RDCB, RDWeb, RDLicense server with 2012 CALs deployed as User Mode
We are pointing directly to the license server in our collection settings (only 1 collection per farm) and also again via GPO settings to override license server auto discovery options
These systems were rolled out using scenario-based installs so while RDWeb is there, it's not actually being used (nothing published to it), users are leveraging session-based desktops via RDP client both internally and externally
systems are all domain joined, we're still on 2003 functional level in AD
i first encountered this issue around the 120 days mark after the first farm went into production, we saw that users could not login and event ID 1130 was being thrown for every login attempt.
i saw this article and followed the steps to resolve it:
http://www.360ict.nl/blog/no-remote-desktop-licence-server-availible-on-rd-session-host-server-2012/
however, after another 120 days passed, i ran into the same issue again, realizing this was not a permanent fix. after just opening the case with MS on this a couple of weeks ago, they've told me it's a bug and so for now, i proactively purge the
L$RTMTIMEBOMB_nnnn key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\GracePeriod, i restart
TermService so i don't have to reboot the whole box and it's fine for another 120 days
during the issue and even when it's not occurring, licensing diagnostics come up clean, i haven't taken a report while the issue is occurring but when it's not occurring the reports show CALs being assigned to all users by the license server.
basically, it seems like even though we have a license server that is activated with user CALs, the Review section shows green checks under both sections, and reporting is fine - the system is stuck in 120 day trial mode for some reason.
now MS did say they know about this and they're working on a fix, hopefully not to just get me off the phone, but they didn't have a different workaround and advised that i continue doing what i'm doing.
what i don't really understand is that when i remove the L$RTMTIMEBOMB_nnnn
key from the registry, it gets recreated upon the first user logon that has to go talk to the license server. in a working 2012 environment, should this key even exist if an active license server is already available?

Can I use Time Machine to recover my Aperture License Info

Out of the blue my G5 started asking for my Aperture License again. I just finished a move and don't know where I have that info/box. Can someone tell me if I can run Time Machine to recover it? AND IF SO... EXACTLY HOW? Much appreciated.

Unfortunately, it has been my experience that Time Machine does NOT backup the license info on Aperture. I say unfortunately because of other issues (now resolved; not dealing with Aperture, however).
I had to use my original installation Leopard Disk, then go through the Apple Icon Software Update (as Time Machine also does not back up Apple Operating System Updates). Then I had to initialize things such as iTunes, test my printer, and other things. To my surprise, the first time I opened Aperture after it was restored by Time Machine I too had to enter the serial number
Other Apple applications, such as iWork and iLife worked fine without the necessity to enter their original serial numbers. But Aperture would not work until I entered the serial number. I don't know why that is, but that has been my experience. And I have done the above procedure three (3) times due to other issues (now resolved).
Summary: When one reinstalls Aperture from Time Machine, it has been my experience that once reinstalled, you must have the serial number handy in order to get Aperture to function. I now placed the serial number of my Aperture on a label, and I affixed that label to the CD Jewel Case of the original Aperture install disk so that I know an easy way to find the number if I should need it again.
Good luck in your search for your serial number

As soon as I try to open PDF a "licensing problem" screen appears...

I have reinstalled reader software but get the same message.

Hey -
Thanks for taking the trouble to respond - appreciated. I did post the details you requested and sent you IM about that. Anyway, the problem
appears to have fixed itself as soon as I opened Acrobat9 Pro it
reconfigured itself and everything is working again!

Aperture license disappeared during system rebuild

I recently had to reinstall the operating system on my MacBook Pro (osX 10.5.6) and was very surprised to see Aperture asking for the license code again. I had thrown away my original packaging (stupid!) so, I was stuck. Called apple and they do not track registrations for licensing. Luckily I found the licensing file in an old backup and was able to get it going again (Library/Application Support,ProApps/Aperture system ID (.txt?).
Is this a common occurrence? ProApps loosing the license file when rebuilding the system? I very nearly had to spend the full price to upgrade to 2.0 just to get back to where I started. I think this needs to be looked into. I used the "Archive and install" and it must have missed the licensing info for Aperture.

The link David posted is the way to go if you lose your Aperture license entirely. May I suggest that you do something like I do which is create a database (in Filemaker or Numbers/Excel) of all your applications with their associated license codes/keys per version number. That way when I have to reinstall applications (system upgrade, hard drive wipe, etc.) I only have to look at that database, rather than digging out all the boxes and emails (for downloaded apps).

Any way of finding out how Apple will solve the Aperture / ACR problem?

Has anyone out there gotten any comments from Apple support or other people "in the know" about how Apple is going to solve the Aperture / ACR problem, and any potential time frame?
Of course, Apple is going to work on problems with its own RAW conversion; that goes without saying. But does anyone have any knowledge of whether Apple is going to open up the ability for Apple to send RAW, unconverted images to Photoshop, so that ACR can handle them?
I think knowing this now is pretty crucial. I am willing to live with the pain Aperture is going to impose on my workflow, in exchange for the file organization benefits it provides, IF I know that I'll be able to use Aperture with ACR soon (near term). But if Apple is going to just tinker with the RAW converter, and not attempt to send RAW files to ACR, then as someone else posted in another topic, this could be a long wait, and other companies have taken years to hone their RAW converters.
This is kind of my last-ditch effort to keep Aperture around, and build my workflow around it. If I know that within a month or two at the most, I'll be able to be using ACR directly when editing new versions, then I'll absorb the pain until then. But if I am looking at waiting six months for it (several man years), or riding out the process of Apple trying to get their own converter fixed, then as much as I don't want to, Aperture is going to get returned or hit eBay.
Does anyone have any idea on this? I've held up my projects for the past week trying to reorganize my workflow to work with Aperture, and I've got to pound the gavel, make a decision, and pursue a direction. Knowing what direction Apple is going to take with this makes all the difference in the world in what I do.
Thanks in advance for any info you can pass on.

This "Open External Editor from Master NEF", versus open from a dynamicaly created version is, I have decided, crucial.
I am getting less clumsy with the interface, but I simply can not get all white balance, and noise reduction done on my best available light shots.
ACR in CS2, and a subsequent "Neat Image" scrubbing is excellent for this.
The automatic association within a stack, of the resulting flattened file would be a big difference. I agree a formal statement from Apple would make me more inclined to really commit to Aperture for all my work.
Going one step further, it would be nice to keep the layers on the round-trip Master file, even if you would work with a dynamicaly created version of the returned "master" within a stack. It would occupy more disk space, but would do so only for those images where the user has made a quality decision.

JCom License Problems on WLS 7.0

I've read through the various threads posted here on people hitting licensing problems
with JCom. Unfortunately, I seem to be having the same problem however the workarounds
suggested by others don't seem to be solving my problems.
I'm trying to get a bare bones example of a Java2Com application running. I'm
