CS6 and Premiere Elements keeps asking for activation

Hi
I am a system engineer in a school. We have a K12 Site license for CS6 and we purchased about 30 single license versions of Premier Elements through certified resellers. I deployed CS6 a few years ago on our old PC's by installing the software on one computer and then cloning the pc 30 times with CloneZilla. That worked fine.
A year later i repeated the procedure on 25 other computers. No problem there.
Last summer i did the same to replace the 30 pc's i had cloned the first time. Since then i have to activate CS6 over and over again indicating a trial version. Also the other classroom with 25 pc' began to ask for activation after 2 years with no worries.
In oktober i Installed Premiere Elements on each individual computer one by one. And that went well for a few months but then all of a sudden PE began to prompt for activation. My collegues drive me crazy with their remarks and worries.
So far i tried to activate CS6 by creating a serialization file with the adobe application manager. When i run the file and retry the program i am no longer prompted for an activation... for a while.
There is no way to tell which device will prompt of when. It is random. Sometimes it is just one device, then all of a sudden it are 3-4.
Please help
Maarten

Hi Maarten,
Adobe Premiere elements 12 (individual license) requires sign in /activation if you have installed individually however you can suppress the sign window using Adobe provisioning toolkit
In case you have Adobe volume license for PRE 12. Please visit the link below to find the workflow.
Deploy Premiere Elements 11 and earlier | Windows
Thanks,
Ashish

Setting up and activating iPhone
To set up and activate iPhone, turn on iPhone and follow the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant
steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or
creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location
Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with your carrier. You can also restore from
an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.
Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network or, with iPhone 4S or later, over your carrier’s cellular
network (not available in all areas). If neither option is available, you need to connect iPhone to
your computer running iTunes for activation. You might also read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424

I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

Just installed ios5 and now email keeps asking for password

Why does one of my email accts keep asking for a password when I've already added one? Tried everything
Just installed ios5.

You have two passwords to contend with (more than likely). Your incoming and your outgoing.
In Settings, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Select Your Account/Look for Outgoing Mail Server and review the settings there. 9.9 times out of 10, this is your internet provider.
Hope this helps.

Trying to activate Adobe elements 12 on other laptop, the one it was on crashed. ser number [removed by moderator]. The new laaptop it is installed keeps asking for activation.

I woold like to activate the photoshop elements 12 on a different laptop, the other one crashed

What is preventing you from using the serial number to activate it on the new machine? You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations so you should be able to with having to ask for a reset.
If you o need a reset due to having activated twice already then contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask for an activation reset...

Premiere Elements 9 asking for a driver update that has been done-not displaying video

I have Premier elements 9 that has worked perfectly well for years, which recently has been giving me a message pop-up box saying that the Intel series 4 expresschipset display driver needs to be updated. I have gone to Intel's site and run their update diagnostic tool and updated this driver, and vefified that it was updated. I restarted the computer, un-installed and re-installed Premier - it still asks for the update and doesn't display any video, rendering it essentially useless. Any suggestions? I only heaviely use the program about once, twice a year...I don't want to be forced to update just because it is mis-behaving, please & thank you

Yes the BadDrivers.txt file does exist for Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 running on Windows 7 64 bit when you use the following instructions specific to what you have
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Please be sure to have Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited. After you open a Premiere Elements project, the program will generate at new BadDrivers.txt file and hopefully your issue is gone.
The rationale behind the delete of the BadDrivers.txt file can be found in post 10 of this older thread.

That file has been a life saver for many - even those with versions later than 9.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Thank you.

Acrobat XI Pro keeps asking for activation

Hi,
I've got my CC going for couple of months without any problems, recently I've installed Acrobat XI Pro and it was working ok, but for some reason it keeps asking me to license this software after I open a pdf file or launch it manually. When I go to login and it connects correctly its asking me for serial number.. I must launch another Adobe app like Photoshop and the same license window pops out, but right now after I login it goes fine and disappears - right now my Acrobat works fine but I have to do this every day to get it work :/
How can I fix this annoying problem? All other CS programs run fine without asking me to activate but when I start Acrobat even them seem to lose activation info, its strange... Help?
I've checked the Hosts file, checked activation server connectivity, tried to fix Acrobat installation but still nothing..
My OS is Windows 8 64bit
Best Regards,
S.

Just bought photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 bundle for my MacBook Air, how do I download without a CD drive?

I bought the bundle with adobe photoshop elements 12 and adobe premiere elements 12 for my new MacBook Air. I was told that not having a CD drive wouldn't be a problem for the download, but I can't figure out how to download them without being able to use the CDs from the package. I was told I can download Photoshop and enter the product key but its not working for me since I have no idea what I should be doing, please help!
Thanks!

Hi,
Please download Photoshop & Premiere Elements Trial from this LINK:

MAIL suddenly and very often, keeps asking for my password. WHY ?????

Just recently MAIL started asking for my, and my husband's password. Not just once, but often, which is annoying. There is a box to check "to remember the password" which I always check. This does not work, MAIL does not remember the two passwords (mine and my husband's) and keeps asking over and over.
Is there some way to alleviate this? Thank you for any help with this.

> Every clipping I receive, shows up right on the email page which is great,without my opening the attachment. But why does it always appear TWICE ?
Whoever is sending you these messages must be using HTML for message composition. When sending an HTML message, two versions of the message are sent. The HTML version and a Plain Text version in case the recipient uses an email client that allows for receiving messages as Plain Text only.
One is embedded in the message body (embedded images/objects/attachments are not true attachments to the message) and the other is an attachment to the message.
Not sure why this occurs with some email clients when sending such messages. I experience the same primarily when receiving messages that were received and forwarded by the sender - not with a new message composed by the sender and mostly when the sender is an AOL user.

ITunes and App Store keep asking for password.

If I log into the Mac App Store or iTunes to purchase an app/song I get prompted for a username and password, as expected; but then it just keeps asking. If I type in a purposly wrong password it will tell me it's wrong, but when I put in the correct one it seems to take it but the dialog just pops up again. This occurs on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and my MacPro. This also happens if I try to 'view account'. Every now and again I will break through this loop and see my account details, but if I try to change something, say my purchase methode, I get 'session timed out'.
I can log into the website just fine, I know the password is good.
Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem. When I open iTunes I kept getting a "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the Itunes Store at this time. Please try again later." error message. I also couldn't update my apps. I was able to stop the messages by signing out. Unfortuantely, I can't sign in now. I don't get an incorrect password message, though. Instead I get the same error message.
I then I tried updating my apps on my iPod Touch but then I get a "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" error message.
So, like you I think the problem is on their end. Hopefully, it's just a temporary glitch. I'm going to go my favorite coffee shop and see if I can download there.
Thanks,
Brian

Windows keeps asking for activation

I installed windows through bootcamp (no problem) and when it asked to be activated I did (word to the wise, if using fusion wait until then). So after installing fusion I had to call Microsoft to reactivate Windows and Word. Now if I go into my partition directly, meaning not virtually, but through bootcamp it still asks me to activate windows.
What gives? I'm afraid that if I activate it, then fusion will ask to reactivate and the whole thing will keep going.
Help!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
I assume that you used your BootCamp Windows for the Windows Installation in Fusion, right ?
Since Windows uses the native (physical) hardware when in BootCamp and virtualized hardware when in Fusion, it always thinks that it is running on a 'new computer' which leads to the reactivation process.
It might be possible to overcome this.
Have a look at the Fusion support page: http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/support.html
Good Luck
Stefan
