CS5.5 Install - Volume Licensing - What file to I install first?

I downloaded my installation instructions for CS5.5 upgrade from the volume license website at licensing.adobe.com.
I was presented with five files to download.
1. Adobe CS5.5 Installation Instructions. This is a .pdf file
2. Adobe Web Premium CS5.5 Installer for Windows (English)
3. Adobe Web Premium CS5.5 Installer Package for Windows (English)
4. Adobe Design Premium & Web Premium CS5.5 Content Installer for Windows (Multi-Language)
5. Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 Content Installer for Windows (English)
Number 1 is the instruction sheet. It clearly says there will be a setup.exe file in these downloads.
There is not a setup.exe file. So now I sit here wondering how to install my CS5 upgrade.
Instead I have the following files:
CS5_5_Installation_Instructions.pdf
WebPremium_DesignPremium_CS5_5_Content_ALL.exe
WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.exe
Illustrator_15_1_Content_LS1.exe
WebPremium_CS5_5_LS1.7z
Can someone please tell me how to install this software when there is no setup.exe file?
I don't even know where to start.
Thank you,
BL

Hey, thanks so much for your answer.
But do you know what files I install first?
That's my dilemma. I don't want to install them in the wrong order.
Or maybe everything I need is in the file WebPremium_DesignPremium_CS5_5_Content_ALL.exe
and it might cause problems if I install the other files over the top.
So do you know where I start?

What files does iTunes install in Windows 7?

I am trouble-shooting a friend's Dell, running the 64-bit Windows 7. He is worried that his iTunes installation is faulty, and that he may lose access to his extensive music and podcast library. I am looking for a list of which files get installed - and where - when a fresh version of iTunes is installed under Windows 7. This MAY help isolate and rectify his problem.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Rick

Far too many for me to document. If there is a problem with iTunes reinstall it. Reinstalling iTunes should not affect the library, but back it up anyway. See this User Tip for an effective backup strategy.

How many times can I download from volume licensing

Hi all. My university in Japan got me CS5 through volume licensing in Japan. I am asking my question here because it is easier for me to work in English than Japanese, and I don't suppose there is much difference between policies here and there. I am wondering if there is a limit on how many times the software can be downloaded from the site. I believe there is a limit of 2 computers, so I assume I can download it at least once more for my laptop, but I was wondering if I can uninstall it once from my iMac, and download it again (for reasons too boring to go into here). Anyway, can I just download it again and again? I am not up to anything dodgy here, by the way. I only need it for two computers, but it would be good to know this for a couple reasons. For instance, suppose I install it on my MBP, then next year want to install it on a newer laptop. Can I uninstall it on the MBP, then download and install it on the new machine? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Bob.
No, I wasn't planning on doing this as a backup plan, or even doing many times. Just wanted to do a new install on my iMac, and wanted to know if I can install on my MacBook Pro now, and then uninstall it from that MacBook Pro next year so that I can install it on a new notebook. By the way, how can Adobe afford to allow people to download as many times as they want? How can they control it then?

Product key for volume license does not work

Hi,
My organization has a MS volume license and I want to install MS Office 2010 Standard SP1 32bit on another computer. I downloaded the software, installed it and then went as instructed to the start menu to launch the program and received a window asking
to enter a Product Key. I enter the key and then receive a message saying it is not a valid office product key. MS phone help confirmed that it is a valid key but then said they would need to charge over $200 to resolve the problem, more than the cost a new
license.
Thanks,
Kevin

MS Office Standard is a Volume Licensing product - VL products do NOT prompt for a product key.
You can't download VL products from the public internet - only download via the VL customer logon portal (VLSC).
You can't convert a Retail Office product into a VL product.
You will need to obtain the installation source files/media/disc, from the licensing contact/controller in your organisation. (who will obtain it from the VLSC)
If you are the VLSC licensing contact/controller for your organisation, you have downloaded the wrong product.

Newbie volume license questions

If I understand correctly, I can purchase a volume license for Acrobat Pro and install the software on the server for multiple users. There would be one license for Mac users and one for Windows users.
Questions:
Can I VPN into the server and use the software?
Are licensed users computer specific? As a licensed/authorized user, does it matter whether I log in from my desktop or my laptop, or would I need a license for both computers?
As the administrator, is there a way I can monitor individual users for such items as log in/log out times, time actively used, actions performed?
What is the upgrade to the next version policy?
Thanks!

You can start with the ETK, and look up Citrix in the Admin Guide. There's a link to the usage policy there. You may need to be talking to someone in sales who can take the time to answer all your usage questions.

What file name, are old emails saved under in backups?

Time Machine, does not seem to operate properly, past the date when I clean installed Yosemite. My files are all there, but I can only find them by going into my drive, and either searching for the file in Time Machine, or searching for it in my backup drive. I cannot restore a mail file, by opening mail, and time machine. It works fine up until the date, when I installed Yosemite. I have done 2 different completely clean installs, and one using migration assistant, wt a multitude of problems. I am done wt doing that. My iMac is finally running smoothly, and I have managed to migrate everything back into my iMac, except for my old emails. I'm pretty sure that I could restore my emails, as long as I knew where there there supposed to be stored on my iMac. I could basically restore them, by either looking in my backup drive where they are before I installed Yosemite. What file name, are old Maverick emails saved under in backups?

The information viewed in Contacts is not located in a single file, nor a single directory.
[Copied from another thread I responded to recently:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24658329#24658329]
This MIGHT be include all the files you need, but there might also be Preferences files needed from another directory.
Also, I migrated my data from an older OS X version (10.6.8) where the app was called Address Book. On brand new systems, it is called Contacts, and the correct directory might be named Contacts.
NOTE: Be sure to replace Macintosh HD below with the actual hard drive name if not Macintosh HD, and username below with the actual user's name...
Transfer all the files from Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
That WILL INCLUDE each of these three subdirectories where the necessary files and data are stored:
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/images
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources

Premiere Pro CC is missing presets | CC Packager/Volume Licensing

We have volume license and are trying to install the CC Suite using CC Packager V1.1.
Everything seems to work fine however most of the presets are missing from Premiere Pro CC - no RED, XDCAM or AVCHD etc.
This is a problem i've seen before with trial versions etc - it's like premiere is being installed in trial mode, although all the applications appear to be fully activated. Audition etc all work and we don't get asked to login/register or notified that the programs are running as a trial.
I've got a case open with Adobe (184479912) however I keep getting passed between the Premiere team and licensing team - they keep blaming each other and not helping me.
Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
Has anyone sucesfully installed the CC Suite using CC Packager and had all the Premiere presets show up?
Any ideas how i can get through to someone more helpful in the support team?
Many thanks in advance
Daniel

Romsinha, this does not resolve the problem. Have you found an actual solution yet?
I work for a college. We installed CCE with video serial key as you stated above. We are still missing all of the presets and codecs that we use for class. I see this has been a problem since July, why isn't it fixed yet???? This is a major problem for any large institution. Has any other schools or institutions found a solution with this issue?

Deploy CC Download Manager with active volume license key

Hello.
In our organization we have a volume license with 145 seats.
Is it possible to remotely deploy the download manager and somehow already activate the volume license key?
I looked at the CC packager, but for our users there would be too many combinations of packages and everything in one package is also not an option.
I found no way to activate the volume license key on a Adobe ID.
thanks for any advice.
P

Hi Abhjit,
We are indeed an Enterprise customer, and i have been looking at the creative packager application. But if we use pre-activated packages i would have to make around 20 different combinations (mix of video editing, photo editing, recording, flash packages etc etc). Which would make the maintenance impossible.
I would prefer to ONLY install the Download Manager on everyone's computer, and let them choose which packages they actualy need without the need to enter the volume license key.
If i install the download manager, and only ONE packaged application (for example Photoshop), would all the other applications automaticaly be activated aswell?
Also: It's not possible to activate a volume license key on a Adobe ID right?
thx for reading

Activex (.ocx) file does not install unless installed through Internet Explorer

Please fix this Adobe... I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why it was not installing the activex (.ocx) file when I installed it through firefox or chrome. Low and behold if you install it through Internet Explorer than it installs the activex file. Other programs use the activex (.ocx) file.

It doesn't matter if you download the installers from Firefox, or IE, or whatever browser.
There are two installers:
one for IE that installs the ActiveX control
one for other browsers that installs the plugin
You can download the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment

Windows 8.0 Volume License machines reboot and windows 8.1 is installed??

We are a small private university with 484 computers running Windows 8.0 with MAK key.
This week we have had 2 Windows 8.0 computers spontaneously upgrade to Windows 8.1.
Since we do have a windows 8.1 MAK key all we had to do was enter the correct key and the computers were fine but everything I am reading about Volume Licensing says that this is not an upgrade path for Windows 8.1.
Is Microsoft pushing out Windows 8.1 slowly to volume licensed computers on Windows 8.0, or is this just some sort of anomaly that may happen occasionally.
One of our operators reported that the usual blue banner prompting upgrade appeared the day before but did not have an option on the banner to deny the upgrade. The next morning when she booted the computer, Windows 8.1 installed and we had to enter
the 8.1 MAK key and all appears to be well.
This is not really a complaint, just that we were VERY surprised when it happened, hoping it was not some sort of hack by a third party.

Hi,
I don't know how useful this information will be for that many machines. This was also observed on 8.1 Pro, not Enterprise, but here is what I found while doing multiple different upgrades... just so I could figure out how to stop them...
Windows Update KB2973544 triggers Win 8.1 to automatically install.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2973544
In addition, KB3008273 appeared in Nov. 2014, which is also related to the automatic installation of Win 8.1... It actually replaces KB2973544.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3008273
Windows Update KB2871389 makes Win 8.1 available in the Store, and is a prerequisite for KB2973544 and\or KB3008273. You might uninstall it also.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2871389/en-us
I have found that the installation of KB2973544 and\or KB3008273 create Scheduled Tasks in Task Scheduler under *** Microsoft \ Windows \Setup***
They are...** 8.1 Auto Install Ping** and **8.1 Auto Install V2**. They are scheduled for 8pm Daily.
I clicked on both and selected "RUN", as I didn't want to wait several hours to see what happened... A download started immediately.
After downloading for about an hour, I restarted the machine to see what would happen... The download resumed quickly after the restart.
After the download started again, there were two more Scheduled Tasks added to the same location....   **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task**... which was running, and
**Windows AutoUpdate Setup Store Resume Task**... which is *Ready*, but has NEVER run.      There was a Service *Modern Setup Host* running in Taskmanager.
***I have found that the only way to stop the installation of Win 8.1 once the Scheculed Task ....   **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task** is indicating "At Logon" for it's Trigger,
is to end all the tasks showing, starting with that one, and then the ** 8.1 Auto Install Ping** and **8.1 Auto Install V2**.
After Ending the tasks Delete them...
After deleting the Tasks, I had to go to C:\ $Windows.~BT, which is a Hidden File, and delete anything that has a recent date... especially the .esd file (Install.esd) of 2.67GB..
I deleted anything that was newer than one week. You could probably delete everything inside the *Sources*, *Support*, and *Drivers* folders...
Also uninstall the mentioned KB's, starting with the newest, and doing the KB2871389 last, as it requires a reboot.
Any attempt to reboot the machine before doing this results in the installation of Win 8.1 starting...
If you were to End the tasks and disable or delete them while the **Windows AutoUpdate Setup Resume Task** is still showing a
Date and Time for it's trigger, deleting the $Windows.~BT files may not be necessary.
The biggest issue with this process is that you may be denied access to the $Windows.~BT folder. If that is the case, you will need to take Ownership of it.
If you disable and delete the Scheduled Tasks, and uninstall the previously mentioned KB's shortly after selecting *Remind Me Later*
THE FIRST TIME, the process will be stopped, and it won't be necessary to delete anything in the $Windows.~BT folder.
You should have about 24 hours to do this.
After uninstalling the KB's and deleting the scheduled tasks, a new scheduled task has appeared.
It is *Pre-Staged GDR Notification*, and is scheduled to run at *8PM of Every Thursday of Every Week*. My guess was that this is to remind you to install the Win 8.1 Update.
It actually causes another task to be created... *Windows Upgrade Notification Task*... It runs at the *Log On of Any User*
I couldn't get this task to show a notification. The task ran when I did it manually, but generated an error message in the log... *Specified Module Could Not Be Found (0x8007007E) Windows Upgrade Notification*
This is most likely because the KB's have been uninstalled.
I'm sure they can be disabled as well, if you want to stop\prevent the reminders.
I know that once Win 8.1 Update actually installs, those scheduled tasks no longer exist. In fact, the entire SETUP folder disappears.

Windows 8 Pro volume license version does not have "Add Features" therefore cannot install media center.

As the title describes, Windows 8 Pro installed from the Volume License ISO does not have the Add Features wizard, and as such it appears to be impossible to install the Windows Media Pack.
I've consulted with Live Chat support who cannot provide an answer to this, they simply said it should be done through "Add Features" which does not exist.
A similar thread was answered by saying install from a Retail disc and upgrade. However this is hardly a solution, paying for an additional Windows license when you already have a volume license.
Can anyone, preferably MSFT, provide a proper answer on how Windows Media Center can be install on Windows 8 Pro which is volume licensed. If it can't be done can some reason or justification be given as to why it can't be done.
Please see previous thread here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itproinstall/thread/d63b46e5-c542-4dbe-be41-c46cda440723

I would like to pile on here and say "ditto" to all of the above. you have a licensed product and they don't even support the MSFT version of a DVD player. Nah, no one EVER has to play a older technology in corporate America due to training or presentation
(A funny clip of a movie before a ppt)? Nah.
But, I'd like to add a warning to MSFT senior management. I know you want to force everyone to use YOUR cloud just like apple did to theirs. Wont' work. Some of us refuse to sign onto a web site and let you track all of our moves... some
distrust the cloud (Target anyone?) etc etc. All good points, now for the out of the park. The Harvard Business Review some years ago did a study on long term profitability of a company (you have to have a profit to stay in business). The
most highly correlated factor: Customer Sat. Sorry, but I don't see customer sat in all of these entries.
IF you made your product easier to use and NOT have to have a IT support person to move from a small workgroup to a server configuration (and PS, what in the heck to you get from a workgroup? File Replication, Remote access to outlook files as one
does via exchange? Really, every computer is in a workgoup any more, so there is ZERO value add in a workgroup on a MSFDT platform, however there is great value, even with a couple of users, in an Exchange/Windows Server Platform -- so why so you make
it so damned hard to implement one... Difficult for one to implement in an SMB environment (so lets just kill SBS) but growth from small business is where your growth is... just like IBM did before you, MSFT only appears to be listening to Fortune 500 it execs,
but I really digressed) This is just one more pain in the butt to use MSFT in the small environment. So what is the rational business decision? Yes one can pick MSFT but with Zero value add in the workgroup, why not them other guys (who may
be apple, or android or even some Linux platforms)
SO you want to continue to mil the cash cow, listen to your forums.
One more note on the STORE. Lets say you do pick a competitive product in the windows store. Have them been verified they don't contain malware like MSFT products? I believe the answer here is "NO" So this adds another layer of complexity
and security risk on the corporate problem of "How do I play a DVD on my laptop" I am sure none of you has ever played a movie on your laptop flying for business?
So, MSFT management, let me paraphrase the posts above: "WHY don't you support our business needs"
And remember, people buy to have their needs met..... (IBM Planned Sales Call)
If you don't meet small business needs, someone will... and that too is fraught with risk.
(For example of how to make computers easy to use in SMB I reference SBS, the Systems Management Interface tool in IBM Unix, or best of all, the AS/400.... something even Ellison couldn't kill, though he tried.

Did DreamWeaver CS5 fix the missing "Volumes" in local file paths for "Browse in-"?

I can't "Browse in Chrome", no matter what I do.
I tried:
Re-Installing Chrome. (It's a drag-drop operation. nothing to install )
Searched in Preferences for a value like the Opendiff to compare documents.
If you select "browse in Firefox" it works. I don't know whether it's Firefox fixing it's DreamWeaver sending the wrong path, but "Volumes" is there.
The problem probably only occurs in secondary partitions on the startup drive.
Apple has not replied about it but it could be Adobe's bug.
I honestly think the "Volumes" idea to access other partitions (not the startup's default) was introducint late, since other apps seem to have the same issue with non obvious operations (Compare Files Service, Apple OS)
Has it been fixed in CS5?
How can I fix it in CS4? I'd glad to hack files if I have to. Re-install is not an option, Com'on! Replace my whole teeth for one caries is not an answer. If the installer can fix it, whoever designed the installer knows what file is the corrupted one.
Thanks.

Upgrade Gurus- CS 5 volume license, CS 5.5 retail upgrade can't install, upgrading to CS 6?

Hi,
I have run into a very interesting problem at work and need confirmation about some information I received. We have six computers with various versions of Creative Suite 5 (Design Standard, Master Collection, etc.) installed on these computers. These are all volume licensed projects. A few years ago we puchased Creative Suite 5.5 upgrades. These upgrades are retail licenses. We have recently purchased new computers and tried to install Creative Suite 5.5 on them. However, Adobe is telling us that because Creative Suite 5 was a volume license and the Creative Suite 5.5 upgrade was a retail license, we could only perform this upgrade once. This means only our old computers can have CS 5.5 installed and our new computers are stuck with CS 5. Which is just wrong. However, we are sick of wasting time with Adobe and are willing to upgrade our new computers to CS 6 (and get rid of the old computers). So here is the question- can we purchase CS 5.5 to CS 6 upgrades (retail license of course) and just use the CS 5.5 serial numbers when we upgrade our CS 5 computers to CS 6?
Cliff Notes: Do I need CS 5.5 installed in order to use a CS 5.5 to CS 6 upgrade or do I just need the CS 5.5 serial numbers?

I have the same issue. Cleaner tool does not hetl, at least in my case. Do you mean that the whole CS5.5 Master Collection should be uninstalled? I have tried everything else:
I tried to uninstall, but Flash Builder was not listed among the programs, maybe I have uninstalled it earlier or it is inclkuded in CS5.5
I deleted all Flash Builder related files, no help
Then I deleted all Flash Builder related registry entries, no success
Finally I downloaded the cleaner tool, its action options do not include anything Flash Builder Releted.
I simply can't get rid of the conflicting version

Adobe Flash Pro Volume License Install

I have use various methods of including the volume license in
the install of Adobe Flash Professional and none of these methods
actually prevent the Validation screen from appearing on the first
load of Adobe Flash Professional version 8.
I have use this property in the commandline:
ISX_SERIALNUMBER=%SERLNUM% I have used dashes and no dashes.
See the commandline below:
C:\WINNT\System32\MsiExec.exe /I "<path>\Macromedia
Flash 8.msi" ISX_SERIALNUMBER=%SERLNUM% EULA_ACCEPT=YES /L*v
"%DIR_PACKAGE%\AdobeFlashPro8.txt" /qn.
I have even created a transform that the log recognizes the
property of the license for the volume license and still the
validation screen popup when opening Adobe Flash Professional.
The validation screen requires the input of the CLP volume
license. My users will not have this license available to them, so
how can I get this install to work?

just install a 2nd trial on your laptop.

Downgrade windows 8 enterprise to windows 7 enterprise under volume license and steps for installing windows 7 enterprise.

How to downgrade from windows 8 enterprise to windows 7 enterprise under volume license? and what are the steps for installing windows 7 enterprise?

The link provided by v-yamliu works good.
Steps for installing Windows 7 Enterprise can differ based on the method of installation.
Windows 7 Enterprise, being an enterprise product, is usually installed on PCs count of 20 and above. Also, organisations usually modify the standard installation image to suit the organisation's needs and policies. In doing so, they define the way the Enterprise
edition can be installed. They can be ZTI (Zero Touch Installation) or LTI (Lite Touch Installation). The following links will be helpful in this case:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd919179(v=ws.10).aspx
If the above case is not true and only a standard image is being used, you can perform clean install as mentioned by v-yamliu. The following link will be helpful:
