CS6 Offline Activation for Cloned Clients

My job requires that we have no internet access. I currently deploy our clients using a cloning machine. I create a master image and clone to our clients with all applications installed. I would like to be able to include the activation before I clone to the clients. I watched the video for AAMES and it mentioned about a workaround for cloned clients. It also said there was a video available on the topic. Can someone point me in the right direction for this?

CS6 Offline Activation

Sorry if this is a double post, but Licensing didn't have any answer and I am wondering if enough people follow the thread to provide an answer in the time frame I have in which to get this problem resolved.
I have the same exact problem as Problems activating CS6 offline . Stealing the relevant info from his post:

I am trying to install CS6. I went through the offline activation process, received my Response Code, completed the activation successfully. I clicked on "Launch" and it just took me back to the activation page. I rebooted and re-installed and both gave the exact same result.

CS6 Offline Activation Problems

Hi,
Just had a frustrating sequence of events happening on a Avid editing secure network station. I have previously installed Adobe CS6 on Windows 7, z800 workstation and activation has passed 7 days. So I have done an offline activation, generating a response code from an internet connected terminal, and the next screen says "Successful Activation" and I click Launch. Nothing happens. I click on another Adobe app and the activation screen appears again, and again I do an offline activation and click launch, nothing happens. I figured Adobe master cllection must be corrupted. I tried using the Adobe unistaller and reinstalled the software again. The unistaller did not remove all folders and files. I then reinstalled the CS6 and still the same thing.
I really don't want to reimage this station so if someone has any input on this that would be great. Are there preference files to delete?

CS6 Offline Activation Number Entry Problems

The offline activation process is not working for me. The following things are in my way:
1. The codes I am supposed to enter are given in a font found nowhere else on the web page. In particular, I am not sure I am entering O or 0 in the proper place. The font is weird and nothing looks exactly like any other font I've ever seen. The number does not distinctly have O and 0 in it, so I cannot compare the two.
2. There is no indication as to whether the spaces given on the web page are to be included when typing the numbers into the other device. I left them out when attempting to get the response code, so I guess they aren't necessary... but that's only a guess. The fact that something works one way on one page is not a guarantee that it will work that way on another page.
3. Once I get a notice that the wrong code has been entered, subsequent clicking of ENTER results in no changes on the page. Error box does not go away or modify, no hourglass shows there has been a click, nothing. Either I have once more put in the wrong code and the page simply remains static (a bad idea since a new process was started and there is zero indication of any key press); or the page is not working. There is no way to tell.
Please give examples of i, I, O and 0, in the font used in the numbers. I think I have them right but there is no way to know.
Thank you very much.

correct me if im wrong.
Adobe ID login and online activation are required either at installation or within seven days after your first launch of the Photoshop CS6 beta. The same requirements will be in place for the shipping version of Photoshop CS6 when it is released.

RFC Adapter for multiple clients

Hi All
I have a situation where we have a Dev client (030) and a Test client (041) on our SAP Dev system. We are implementing an XI interface with a non-SAP system that also has a Dev and Test environment. Up to now the interface has only needed to work between our client 041 and either the other Dev <b>or</b> Test system but not both at the same time (I have simply re-configured the target URL in the SOAP adapter).
However, I have been asked to set up XI so it works with the other system's Dev and Test environements simultaneously.
Ideally I would like to link our client 030 to their Dev system and our client 041 to their Test system but I don't believe I can have the RFC Sender adapter active for both client 030 and client 041 at the same time.
If this is not possible then it would be OK for our client 041 to work with both the Dev and Test systems but how do I configure this?
Our R/3 environment is 4.6C so I can't use Proxies. I have wondered whether using Parties would help but am not sure that they are an appropriate tool for internal communication.
Any advice, pointers, links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew

<b>Ideally I would like to link our client 030 to their Dev system and our client 041 to their Test system but I don't believe I can have the RFC Sender adapter active for both client 030 and client 041 at the same time.</b>

1)RFC
2)Idoc and
3)proxy
since u r having problem with RFC and Proxy..u can go for Idoc...
parties are used in B2B communication.... i am not sure here u can use it or not....

Cannot install KMS key in VAMT for KMS clients

Dear Sir / Madam,
I have some technical problems about setup the KMS host and KMS clients.
OS of the KMS host: Windows Server 2012 Standard
OS of the KMS client: Windows 7 Professional (32bit)
Question 1:
I want to use KMS host server to handle KMS keys and activations for KMS clients. Which type of KMS key need to install in KMS host ?
Would I need to install Windows 7 Professional KMS key or
Windows Server 2012 Standard KMS key in the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) ?
Question 2:
I found that I cannot installed the Windows 7 Professional KMS key in the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT), it pop-up an error message said that the KMS key invalid. How can I fix the problem?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Siu Wai,
You can also follow these steps:
1. Select a computer that you want to be your KMS host:
2. Install Windows Server.
3. At cmd prompt type the following:
Slmgr.vbs /ipk <your KMS KEY from MVLS>
The /ipk installs your MVLS key. Note if you need to change your key. For example change from a KMS_B to KMS_C key you must restart the Software Licensing service.
4. At cmd prompt type the following:
Slmgr.vbs /ato
The /ato activates the KMS host with Microsoft. You must activate the KMS host.
5. Restart the Software Licensing service.
6. Install the KMS client computers by using volume license media. You should not be prompted for cdkey during installation
7. By default these KMS client computers will query DNS and locate your KMS host and activate
KMS Client Setup Keys
To reset computers to be KMS clients type the following at elevated command prompt:
Slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is the generic VL key from the following link.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee355153.aspx#EFAA
Refer to:
Is it possibile to host multiple KMS Keys
on a single KMS server?
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Anna Wang

Offline Activation problems with Photoshop CS6 - ver 13_LS16

I have a computer that cannot be connected to the internet.
Adobe advises in its support pages under Offline Activation a number of steps to activate the software.
Step 1 is
1. Follow the installation or product launch screens until you see a link that says "I cannot connect to the internet" or "Having trouble connecting to the internet". Click the link and follow the instructions on the subsequent screen to initiate offline activation. Instructions there will tell you how to generate a Request Code.
However, version 13_LS16 of Photoshop which I just downloaded does NOT offer such a link during either installation or launching - just a continuous loop of "Retry" a connection.
Two calls to the Support Center met with incorrect information. Neither person knew that CS6 can be activated offline. In the past I have used tjhe Call Center successfully to exchane REQUEST Codes and RESPONSE CODES to install earlier versions of Photoshop. Clearly, the Call Center staff need training.
How do I get to a screen on this offline computer which allows me to generate the REQUEST CODE which is used for Offline Activation???

Phil I don't see the Photoshop CS6 registered under your account. I would recommend contacting our support team directly at Contact Customer Care and verifying the serial number is valid and it is not an upgrade version.
If you continue to face difficulties you are welcome to private message me the serial number but it would be more expedient to contact our support team directly.
I would recommend having the serial number reviewed to ensure their will be no activation difficulties. Please also be aware that the offline activation process does still require a computer with Internet access. This can be a smartphone, tablet, a simple web browser capable of secure http connections. The offline activation process is as follows:
Launch the product.
At the Serial Number Validation screen, click Having Trouble Connecting To The Internet.
Click Offline Activation and click Generate a Response Code.
Write down the Request Code.
Switch to an online computer and navigate to www.adobe.com/go/getactivated.
Click Offline Activation.
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Enter your Request code and click Generate.
Write down the Response code.
Switch back to the offline computer.
Enter the Response Code and click Activate.

Where is the download link for SCEP Client Offline installer for x86 & x64 altest greatest version (4.6.305 as of today)

Where is the download link for SCEP Client Offline installer for x86 & x64 latest greatest version (4.6.305 as of today)?
The answer IS NOT IT AND NEVER WILL BE "DOES NOT EXIST"!!!!!! MUST NEVER NEED TO RUN UPDATES TO GET IT!!!!!!!!! THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ANSWER IS THE LINK!!!!! DUH GET YOUR ACT IN GEAR MS!!!!!!!!!!
Ralph

Thanks to all for the information. I work in higher ed. We have SCCM latest version, fully licensed. Unfortunately the individual who manages the SC does not have a clue as to where to find the SCEP installer. I sent him links from MS that shows him where
it is supposed to be. The version he say's is on our SC Management server is 4.3. I, in the past, was able to get 4.5 independent of him and it has been working well for me but it is time to use the latest greatest version instead. I should just as easily
be able to get 4.6. As far as licensing goes, if the product was correctly designed it should just work itself out just like it does for the 4.5 version I was able to easily find and download.
As for the link given by KevinMJohnston, thanks by the way, its the closest I have come to getting what I need but all I get is a spinning wheel in Firefox, the only browser one should ever need. In IE I get prompted for an email address, which it should
NEVER EVER DO!!!!!!!!!! I did give them my address, but alas, after waiting over 30 mins. I still don't have a link to the update or the CU4 Config MGR update mentioned. (Another reason I am not very nice to MS, along with, see below...) Please send me the
link that they are suppose to send me in the email.
As for the intensity of the request it comes from not being able to find the update on my own. (Amongst a million other complaints as MS makes my job harder and harder, just think of all the lost productivity and extra repair efforts needed because MS stopped
allowing you to do upgrade/repair installs from the install discs. You have to have a working OS to do it, or you will lose your settings etc and will have to re-install all of your software etc. How STUPID IS THAT! Can't use it to fix a blown driver or BSOD
problem like you could in XP. There is no excuse for that, I know better. So you can see why I have nothing good to say about MS etc etc.) There is no excuse for that! If the MS updater has it available then IT MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR STANDALONE DOWNLOAD
PERIOD. That goes for ALL updates PERIOD. I use these updates and many others etc so that once I seal an image for a PC it has the latest greatest version of everything. It is quicker to get it stand alone in advance and installing than waiting for MS
updates to do so. Also I prefer to config my images so that the Av installs after first boot. These are cloned PCs. Many of these PC are used in labs and are frozen. Here, the settings for the SCEP AV being pushed from above can cause major problems for the
users i.e. the scheduled scan feature. If it is on when students are taking tests and they take more than 5 or 10 mins on question MS is stupid enough to start scanning causing the system to become unresponsive. This has caused students to breakdown in tears
thinking the system is hosed and they just lost their tests. I have to do some creative reg hack, setting owner as "Guest", a disabled account, etc. to keep these settings from being changed. (Our SC managers push policies that work for the faculty
but break the lab systems which are frozen, so I have to out hack them, should not be, but it is, we are trying to get that fixed, but bureaucracy and people afraid to share power etc makes it hard.) These settings unfortunately will prevent the AV from
installing so I need to be able to manually do it after I have set the reg to allow it. And I could go on. Who knows when or why someone may need to do a manual update of something. I just had 3 systems fail 12 updates, yet when I manually downloaded
them and installed them they ALL installed without failure. I did NOTHING in between the auto update and the manual, yet it was the manual way that worked. Maybe if MS could fix those kind of issues then no one would need to get stand alone update files.)
That is not for MS to worry about. It is, however, their responsibility to make it so that I can choose what will work best for my environment, which only I could know. DUH. I have had issues in the past with MS AV and other brands being installed before "sealing"
the images. etc. etc. etc.
As you can see, there is not enough space on the world wide web to list all thousands of legitimate reasons to give Microsoft a hard time so I will do so on a case by case bases knowing I am probably spitting in to the wind, but hey somebody has to have
the guts to do it. MS MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SIMPLY GET AWAY WITH IT! They Must be called to the proverbial carpet.
Maybe if people who are MVPs would not be afraid to join the choruses they would be embarrassed, (though it should be done out of moral obligation not embarrassment), enough to fix these obviously fixable problems etc. etc. etc. I have over 30 years in the
IT business, the IBM XT did not exist until my senior year in college. You are not going to be able to convince me that there is a legitimate reason, copy protection IS NOT IT, to prevent me from fixing blown OS via re-install using install disc when OS will
not boot. Nor are you going to be able to find legitimate reason for the SCEP 4.6.305 update to be so hard to get.
Thanks again for the help, still waiting for email from MS, NOT COOL MS! NO EXCUSE!!!!!

CS6 Suite activation: Admin/normal user + offline use etc.?

Hi All,
I am new to the CS6 suite but heard about all kinds of trouble people can have with activation, so in order to prevent problems I would like to ask in advance:
1) Can I install(+activate?) CS6 under an administrative account and then use CS6 under a standard user account (which does not have administrative rights) ?
2) If I go on vacation and bring my laptop with CS6 with me for about 6 weeks, will I need to be connected to the internet for CS6 to continue to work or will it work if the computer is offline the whole time ?
3) If my laptop gets stolen what happens with my activated software - can I deactive it ?
4) Can I install the CS6 suite on both my workstation and my laptop ?
Thanks,
Morten

Yes. Obviously during your scan of my message you missed "Yes I did have CS5 error 16 and yes adding the normal user to the two folders resolved it. Does not resolve CS6 error 16."
Yes it is a configuration error.
I've read both of of the feeds referred to (and several others) and they were not helpful to resolving the CS6 config error 16, though they did fix CS5 config error 16.
However, applying that logic to the whole, I have verified that it is definitely is fixable with changes to permissions. I can invoke the error condition and relieve it at will simply by adding my user (r/w) to the adobe folder in application support and cascading it down to the enclosed items. Clearly there is/are folder(s) beyond the already identified "Adobe PCD" and "Adobe Store" that need the r/w privileges for the particular user of the CS6 version of the software.
To restate: I've temporarily provided relief by adding my normal user account read and write to the whole of the adobe folder in /Library/application support and clicking "apply to enclosed items".
I would label this a permissions hack and feel that I have a security vulnerability now.
Knowing which folders exactly need that permission would be the ideal situation.
Please advise.

I found it very useful for understanding how the system worked for activation of perpetual licenses, both in cases where the computer is and isn't connected to the Internet.
