CS6 DPS tools have broken CS6 licensing - Now Asking for Adobe Sign In

Hi,
Hoping I can get some guidance from someone or even an Adobe tech?
Currently my problem is that after I install the DPS v29 tools from here (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=182&platform=Macintosh) my previously activated InDesign CS6 now prompts with the sign in window on every launch. Rebooting or clicking cancel does not rid me of the error.
I did have to script the update as AAMEE does not recognise the update?? (http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/deployment-dps-toolkit-update-aamee.html) and before running that script I had to change the AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat file.
My CS6 design standard package was created with AAMEE 3.1 Serial added, all updates applied, EULA and the improvement program disabled, air installers disabled, ignore conflicts ticked, update manager disabled.
So far I have tried the following
Using adobe_prtk unserialized and then serialized.
Updated AAM to version 7 from 6.2.112.0 wihch was installed when the package was created with AAMEE
Created a new Trial install of CS6 standard using AAMEE, applying the DPS update and then adding serial via adobe_prtk
All of these attempts to get InDesign CS6 back to an activated working state have failed.
Our estate is OSX 10.8.5, and I'm loosing the will to live with all this over engineered garbage that causes lost hours, days or even weeks of IT admins time and money.

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

I have updated remote desktop and now it is asking for a serial number, name and orginasation. I don't have any of these as I brought MacBook off eBay sometime back.

I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Cent

I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Central in order to use this feature. What gives? The Adobe site gave me the impression that I would have this feature after purchasing the new upgrade. I would not have purchased the upgrade, let alone five of them had I know this. Am I missing something?

Acrobat XI comes with the Fromscentral AIR application and the ability to create PDF forms authored in Formscentral. To have more than the free (1 form with 50 responses) level account you need to sign up for a Formscentral subscription.

That is Activation Lock.
You have to contact the previous owner to have him remove it

Ask whom/wherever you got the redemption code from for one that has not already been used.

Welcome to the Apple Community Robin.
Contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

HT5312 Please have iphon5 a device you've lost a year ago and is now asking for Aastgl and restore the iPhone firs

Please have a device you've lost a year ago and is now asking for Aastgl and restore the iPhone5 firs

What is 'Aastgl' ?
If you mean activation lock : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
then you will need to type in the account id and password that it's locked to, or remove it from your account (e.g. via http://icloud.com), or ask the person whose account it is to remove it from their account.
If you mean your answers to your security questions, then the HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro. Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep. How do I resolve ?

Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh? If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized. Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

My photoshop CC acts like I have a trial account and asks repeatedly to sign on

My photoshop CC acts like I have a trial account and asks repeatedly to sign on. This happens about one third of the time I try and use CC. This is very frustrating as each time I have to resign on, enter my email and password which takes about 5 minutes each time. Once I sign on it acts like this is a new account although I have a clould account for a couple months now. How do I get this to stop?

You may be prompted to sign in but if you are on an annual plan you have up to 99 days to sign in. If you are on month to month then you may have up to 30 days to sign in. You can find more details on this in the Creative Cloud FAQ athttp://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html.
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Adobe® Creative Cloud™ desktop applications?
No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®) are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.

My MacBook Pro is now asking for a login. When I enter my passcode, it goes to a blue screen and back to the login screen. I saw several older posts, but nothing recently. I am running Snow Leopard.

My MacBook is now asking for a password. When I login, it loops to a blue screen, and back to the login. Incorrect logins create a shaking of the login screen. I tried restarting with the shift key depressed, with no luck.

I performed a hard shutdown, and upon start I could access my system without logging on. I'm not sure what caused the issue, but I have not booted up in almost a week.

HELP! my mac has logged me out and now asking for a name and password?

I was logged on shopping on top-shop online and suddenly the mac shut down.
It seems it has reset its self! My icon has disappeared and its now asking for a name and password.
i have tried my log in but it is not working.
Is there another way to reset the password?
can i reset it to log back in what can i do?
I have rebooted the computer several times but i dont know what to do!

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

Help. I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password. Now asking for a password and I never set one up. What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either). Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password! Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
Thanks.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases
