Can the package I download via the CC packager be manually installed to a master image used to ghost a lab?

We are looking at purchasing Creative Cloud for educators, and using the 'Device Licensing' model.
As a casual comment in the tutorial video at the bottom of the page at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager.html,
the presenter mentioned that the downloaded CC package can be installed on an HD image, but that one should run the products before using that as a master image to 'ghost' a lab.  I have found no other references to this anywhere, and want to verify that this is an option.
Instead of having to install Microsoft SCCM, and doing all that, can we just install this package on our master HD image, and then use it throughout the semester to reimage lab machines as needed?
I assume that the 'device ID' is tied to something on the physical machine, so that reimaging a machine if it becomes corrupted midway through the year won't add 1 to our count of licenses used?
Thanks.

That link does not help. We expect to use CC Teams shortly, and deployment is deeply worrying.
The issue of making a master computer image to be deployed is tricky because of the Adobe IDs needed to run the software on the machines to which that image is deployed.
- One can use Packager to create .pkg and .msi files.
- When creating the master image, one can double click these (anyway, that's what's said at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/deploying-packages.html)
- After that image is deployed to the client machines, the unanswered question is how to get each machine effieciently authorized without sharing authenticating data with student users?
Oh, and what the hell is up with Acrobat deployment on Windows? OK, that's a somewhat separate issue, but just barely.

    No. TV out on 4G only works with apps that support TV out. TV out does NOT mirror the iPod's screen

  • Can the Mac Pro run Window XP (booth camp) and be used as a MAc OS server

    Hi There
    Can the Mac Pro run Window XP (booth camp) and be used as a MAc OS server in the same time?
    I am a small business and I was thinking of using the new mac pro for a new workstation on my studio and to also use it as a server for 5 work others stations. Is that possible? Or I am asking a bit to much work load to do for the Mac Pro?
    Can the Mac Pro can run under Window XP and Autocad and still be accessed by other workstation whilst working on the cad software? Is booth camp will slow the machine like Virtual PC?
    IS the MAc Pro can manage file hosting website with PHP and mySQL capabilites?

    Great question, but it appears the answer is no (at this time); they promise to work on it immediately. Check this thread at parallels.

  • Can the LV 7.0 be installed on win 95 system?

    We have to make use of the old computer which has a win95 system, can the LV 7.0 be installed on win 95 system?

    LabVIEW 7 does not officially support Windows 95. You may be able to install and use LabVIEW 7 on Win 95, but
    LabVIEW 7 is not guaranteed to work properly on 95.
    Note: This post is not related to GPIB. In the future posts like this should be posted in the LabVIEW discussion forum.

  • Can the mailer.cbx file in 6.2 be modified to use port 1025?

    Can the mailer.cbx file code in vs. 6.2 be modified to use port 1025?
    We need no authentication, only a port change to 1025 to allow the mailer object to work for us. Had it working for several months until ISP blocked port 25. We currently have no email alarm reporting to us from over 100+ alarm events!
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Thanks both Arnis and Mike --
    Interesting suggestions from both of you.
    Arnis, we're putting the cleanup utility on the back burner for the moment, since in our company, we can get in trouble using third-party software. However, it's good to know about this utility and we will use if it we have to. (Occcasionally we are forced to put our careers on the line for issues like this...)
    Mike, we created a folder called "PDFSettings" in the 7.2 "fminit" folder and copied over the six joboptions files from 9.0.  Rebooted, rePDFed and voila, that worked. (Mind you, we can't say for sure that's what worked, because as I said in my original post, the simple act of rebooting "sometimes works, sometimes not...")
    Eventually this problem will go away by itself because eventually we will get rid of 7.2 -- it's only deadline time-crunches that have made us reluctant to jump fully-clothed into 9.0...
    I really appreciate the two of you taking your time to offer suggestions and help. I can't imagine life in the FrameMaker world without you!
    Cheers,

  • Safari 6 (7536.25) on Mid 2007 Mini running Lion damages pdf files when downloaded.  Adobe reader can't open them; downloaded via Chrome they can be opened.

    When I download pdf files using Safari 6, they can't be read by Adobe Reader; using Safari to read them isn't a solution, because Safari doesn't allow them to be printed page by page.  The same files, downloaded by Chrome, by contrast, can be opened and printed.  Is there a patch for this problem?

    Trash the Adobe Reader app from your Applications folder.
    Empty the trash.

  • Can the Boot Camp Drivers be installed independently of each other?

    I am having major issues with Boot Camp 3.1. It seems to put the windows 7 side of my mac to sleep immediately upon boot up. I have isolated the problem to Boot Camp and I was wondering if I could remove individual drivers to isolate which driver is causing the problem.
    thanks,
    C

    Hi,
    the Driver Setup program cannot do this so you would have to do this yourself "by hand".
    For that copy the full content (files and folders) of the BootCamp Driver package from your OSX Install DVD to a folder on your Windows partition.
    I prefer something like "c:\download" for this.
    After that go through the appropriate Folders for the hardware components in your Mac and install each driver by hand.
    Have you already tried the Safe-Boot options of WIndows 7 as described here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-s afe-mode especially the Safe Mode and the Enable Boot Logging to determine if it is indeed a Driver problem or maybe some kind of startup item ?

  • Can the creative cloud apps be installed on a drive other than the boot drive?

    I have an SSD for the boot drive and keep most apps on an 'applications' drive. It appears that CC apps install by default to the boot drive. Am I incorrect? Can I control what drive they install on?

    Yes you can change the install location:
    Launch the Adobe Application Manager.
    Click on your name in the top left and from the context menu choose Preferences.
    Change the Install Location to the one you want.

  • Reverse question Can the W530 chiclet keyboard be installed in a W520

    Hello,
    I had the opportunity to try out the T530 / W530 chiclet keyboard and really liked it
    I have bit of a reverse question 
    Can a new chiclet type keyboard be installed in a W520 and would the bios have to be changed
    for key mapping etc..
    Thanks in advance for your help

    It won't fit due to a slightly different surrounding bezel.  And even if it did fit (or you replaced the bezel which would allow it to fit), then BIOS wouldn't support it anyway - key mapping problems.

  • Can the Icon be disposed safely after a call to Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHIcon?

    Hi all,
    for a Grid that shows file paths and the associated file icon for a set of given files we extract the Icon of those files and create ImageSource instances for later use.
    Roughly:
    FileIcons aIcon = new FileIcons(filePath);
    System.Drawing.Icon i = aIcon.GetSmallIconWithTypeName(isFolder, out typeName);
    ImageSource imgSource = Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHIcon(i.Handle, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
    Irrelevant but just for info: The FileIcons class uses SHGetFileInfo and ExtractIconEx of the Shell32.dll to get the Icon.
    The interesting part is: After the call to 
    Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHIcon(...)
    Can I safely dispose the Icon the ImageSource was created from AND keep using the ImageSource afterwards?
    Thanks for the help,
    Frank

  • Can the new express automatically log in to my isp that uses adsl.

    My ISP has given me an ADSL modem which plugs in to my macbook's pro ethernet port and safari directls me to a url when i try and open a page. i'm supposed to log in to that url and then i'm able to access internet from all my devices. i dont know what sort of authentication it is but its not pppoe.
    the problem here is that if i use a wifi router, i have to keep the device that first connected to the internet, in a given session, continuouisly connected inorder to be able to access internet from other devices. i was planning to buy the new airport express. i was wondering if it can store the login info in some way so that i can not worry about logging in and just use any deivce i want, freely?
    Neerav

    Run the ethernet cable from your ADSL modem into the WAN port on an Express, run Airport Utility and within minutes you'll have a dual band Wi-Fi network up and running.
    The confusion comes from this, Extreme Bases and Express' are Routers, they route an internet connection into a Wireless connection.
    Extreme Bases and Express are NOT Modems.
    The Router/ Modem supplied by your ISP is probably a bulk purchase cheaply made number with low quality innards inside.
    I always use the supplied Router/ Modem as a modem only, then run an Ethernet from the Modem into an Apple Base Station and run my network from their.

    Seems kind of ridiculous to me. You get the same tv channels in both countries, dvd and bluray release dates are the same, but no way to legally download tv shows in ireland. im quite happy to pay to download legally but it seems apple dont want my money!  my itunes account cant be used in uk eventhough im over and back between both countries all the time.

    No one could know what will be available in the future, unless Apple announces

  • Can the Photoshop CS5 upgrade be installed on two pcs?

    I have photoshop CS2 installed on my desktop and have an upgrade to CS5 on the way. Someone told me that with current adobe products, it's ok to install a copy on your desktop and on your notebook, which is what I'd like to do with photoshop CS5. Is that ok, or was I mis-informed, and installation is restricted to a single pc?

    One at a time wouldn't be an issue, as long as that means what is sounds like it does. Does it literally 'call in' to adobe and make sure it's the only install of that key that is running?
    But, good for adobe for setting it up this way. It will be handy to have a copy on the notebook for times we are on the road.
