Deployment Unlicensed captivate 8

Hello,
I work for a big company. I'm a software packager/deployer. I am having big issues with this product. What i want to do is very simple : I want a completely silent installation for my users that they will license themselves. We use individual licenses in this case because we don't have a big enough user base for this product.
I can't seem to be able to do this with Creative Cloud Packager. It does not appear in the list of available software. We cannot ask the users to go through the complicated registration with adobe ID etc etc, too much user interaction = helpdesk calls.
What are my options? Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Hi there,
To create the Silent Deployment Package of Captivate 8, you have to have updated version Adobe Creative Cloud Packager.
If you purchased the Volume License of Captivate 8, then you will find the download of Creative Cloud packager under downloads section of Licensing Website. You will have to sign in with your credentials.
Once you download and install Creative Cloud packager, the steps are very simple to create the .msi
If you still have trouble locating Creative Cloud packager, then please contact us through either Chat: Chat with an Expert or Contact us through Call Support.
Thanks.

Adding a clock in captivate

Hi all!
Im working on a tutorial with CP 3, and need to add some sort
of clock to it to see how long it took for the user to finish it.
Does anyone has a susgestion?
Thanx, Daniel

Welcome to our community, Daniel
Are you deploying your Captivate files using a Learning
Management System (LMS)? If so, I believe that is one of the
functions of a LMS. To track how long it took the user to complete
the course.
If you aren't using a LMS, perhaps consider implementing one?
There are some that are free to use. Moodle is one of those. It is
open source.

Captivate 7 and LTI ?

We've developed a series of Captivate projects and published them to SCORM2004 and distribute them regularly to several different LMS versions without issue. We now have an LTI (IMS Learning Tools Integration) platform over which we deliver other curriculum and need to deploy our Captivate curriculum via LTI vs. distributing and updating hundreds and hundreds of SCORMs.
However, since LTI consumers load the tools into iFrames at the LMS the SCORM/Tin Can/AICC drivers have no way of accessing the browser/LMS document model in order to communicate results, or so it seems. Debugging in console always shows exceptions with undefined documents and objects. .
Having found nothing on Adobe.com or anywhere else does anyone know if there are plans to have Captivate support IMS LTI/LIS or Common Cartridge? Or is there something I'm missing within Captivate that would allow me to post results to the LMS through LTI that I'm missing?
Thank you,
Bill

I'm not sure if this will be helpful. I understand that there is software that will migrate SCORM packages to IMS Common Cartridge packages. It is called IMSCC Builder. It was developed by IMS Global (IMSGlobal.org). I do not know if this tool has any sort of 'batch' process that could automate the task.
This is all new to me I'm only just getting my feet wet, so I apologize if this has nothing to do with your request/needs.

Hi Geoffrey,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
To create the deployment Package for Adobe Captivate 7 you need Creative Cloud Packager instead of AMEE 3.1 .
You can download the Creative Cloud Packager (CCP) from your Licensing account (www.licensing.adobe.com) .
Please folow the below link to create the package:

CCP - Deploying Captivate 8 - Uninstalling Captivate 7

Hi guys--
I'm deploying Captivate 8 soon, via SCCM. We currently have users on Captivate 7.
I successfully packaged Captivate 8 using the Creative Cloud Packager, and it deploys to a fresh machine successfully. It also deploys successfully to a machine with Captivate 7 on it, but installs it side-by-side and doesn't remove Captivate 7.
Is there a way to package Captivate 8 so that it will remove Captivate 7 when it uninstalls?
Thanks in advance, everyone!

1074396157 - Unlicensed copy of NI Vision reported when attempting to deploy application

I'm running into an error (1074396157) while trying to run a LabVIEW EXE on a target system. From other posts related to this error it sounds like I might be missing something to do with the Vision Development Module, however, I don't see where I can add that to my installation package within "Additional Installers" on the "Installation Package Properties" dialog box.
Is the Vision Development Module supposed to show up as a seperate entry within the "NI License Manager" dialog box?
Thanks,

Is Captivate 4 the right tool for my purposes?

This posting should not be misunderstood as bad mouthing Captivate 4. For the most part, I really appreciate Adobe products and have invested a significant amount of personal money into many Adobe products over the years.
My current role involves designing a course curriculum using Adobe Captivate 4 and Adobe Connect Pro. Unfortunately, I am becoming increasingly concerned that I may be using the wrong tool, at least, in regards to developing all parts of a lesson. Perhaps my workflow will improve if I develop the front facing portion of my lessons with Lectora, and use Captivate solely for creating software simulations?
Because I have already spent a lot of time building my first lessons, and I have a subscription to Adobe Connect Pro, I would rather solve the issues I listed, rather than start over.
My question is... are my issues based on my lack of knowledge with Captivate 4, or am I experiencing real issues with this product? If it is my lack of knowledge, please tell me how to solve my issues.
At this point, I would like to give kudos to Rick Stone (known as Captiv8r) for all his help as a hired consultant. I highly recommend his services. Without him, I probably would not have gone as far as I have with Captivate.
Please correct or comment on the followin…
Minor annoyances
-    Too easy to accidentally move objects. Double clicking on a small graphic or a text caption can easily cause it to move or change size slightly. No way to lock their position only (e.g. lock text position but still allow editing).
-    Text caption boxes mysterious maximize (vertically) from time to time.
-    Grouping of objects is not possible.
-    Previewing “From this slide – F8” does not take into account (or initialize) persistent graphics (or otherwise) on the first slide or template; this results in missing objects when doing a quick preview.
-    Item names/variables are unwieldy. I have a number of graphics which I re-use throughout a lesson. I want to give each of them common names, such as ico_jobaid, img_core_splash, etc. Unfortunately, I cannot use identical names throughout a lesson. Each page requires a unique name for every object. This results in an item name like ico_interactive.png (as it is named in the library), appearing as TImageItem681 and TImageItem680 (copied twice) on a slide.
This is common for every object and makes it difficult to control objects.
Major issues
-    Occasionally I insert a graphics that can’t be made visible.
-    .cp file size seems to continuously increase in size, despite removing unused resources.
-    Text bullet issues (ending bullets occasional show up as a larger size)
-    Roll-over slidlets do not work as intended in AS3 mode. I must preview or publish in AS2.
-    Recording Software Simulations!
Captivate 4 allows recording of simulations in up to four modes (Demonstration, Training, Assessment, and Custom). Unfortunately, it appears to record these simulations are separate and distinct recordings. This is a problem because call-outs and other edits must be repeated for each simulation. Other simulation tools record once and can be edited once for passive and/or interactive viewing.
-    Buttons! Multiple buttons/text captions on a slide.
If I want to place multiple buttons on a slide, I must follow these steps to make these buttons/captions work properly. This is an unreasonable amount of work in order to use buttons on a single slide.
Step 1 - Determine the frame value. Note: It seems that if the frame value is not included, the lesson will move to the next slide, after clicking one button. Another caveat is that adding or removing slides may change the correct frame value.
1. Click Insert from the top menu,
2. Select Standard Objects,
3. Select Text Caption,
4. Click the Insert Variable button,
5. Select System from the Variable Type pull-down menu,
6. Select rdinfoCurrentFrame from the Variables pull-down menu.
7. Position the text caption appropriately on the screen. You may need an appropriate pause inserted in order to see the value.
8. Click Preview and select Project from the pull-down menu (or Click F4),
9. Step through slide show to the slide where rdinfoCurrentFrame text variable was inserted and record the displayed value.
Step 2 – Insert Button control
1. Click Insert from the top menu,
2. Select Standard Objects,
3. Select Button,
4. Choose appropriate button and button options (skipping steps),
5. Click Ok,
6. Position button appropriately.
Step 3 – Setting up advanced actions.
1. Click Project from top menu,
2. Select Actions,
3. Click the Advanced Actions tab,
4. Click the Edit / Create Action Pull down menu and select Create a New Action…,
5. In the new action name: text box, type action name (i.e. but_core_console),
6. Double click twice on Add Statement (sometimes it doesn’t behave as it should),
    – this feature seems error prone.
7. Double click twice on Statement (in red),
8. Select Standard Action from pull-down list,
9. Select Show from pull-down list,
10. Select object name (text caption) you wish to show,
11. Repeat (if necessary),
12. Select hide and the element name you wish to hide and repeat as necessary,
13. Double click twice on Add Statement (sometimes it doesn’t behave as it should)
– this feature seems error prone.
14. Double click twice on Statement (in red),
15. As the last step, select Assignment from pull down list,
16. Select rdcmndGotoFrame from pull down list,
17. Select Value from pull-down list,
18. Enter the frame value (as determined Step 1),
19. Click Save.
For the next buttons,
1. Click the Duplicate button,
2. Edit the New action name: name appropriately,
3. Edit the information in the Advanced actions for the this action. (skipping steps)
4. Click Save.
Repeat as necessary!
Configuring buttons
1. Double click on first button,
2. In the section, “If the user clicks on the button”,
    click on “On success” pull-down menu and select, “Execute advanced action”.
3. Click the Action pull-down menu and select the appropriate named action.
Repeat as necessary.
-    Building buttons for several slides will create a large number of advance actions. Even though these advanced actions are only applicable to a single slide, they are viewable from any slide in a lesson. The number of actions (or advanced actions) quickly adds up in a complex lesson.
-    Cannot find a way to edit the default look (object positioning/object sizes) of a quiz. The only attribute that seems changeable is the font size.
Lock ups and crashes
-    Double clicking on a .cp file will often result in Captivate freezing at the start up screen.
-    Captivate crashes and sometimes predictably, especially where animations are inserted.
I am using both a Windows 7 64 bit and a Windows Vista 32 bit OS. I have tried the following options with seemingly no difference: RUN AS Admin, XP Compatibility mode
Examples from Windows Applications log:
The program AdobeCaptivate.exe version 4.0.1.1658 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: 16f0 Start Time: 01ca623e805d8f30 Termination Time: 81

To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: 1654 Start Time: 01ca622b67764380 Termination Time: 70

The only one that can answer that question is yourself ;o)
I wrote my comments and suggestions with red text here. My company uses Captivate to develop courses and so far we have been very happy with Captivate. Earlier we used Flash to develop courses, but the development time was very long so Captivate has allowed us to speed up the development process with 2-300%. We still use Flash quite a lot to build interactions etc. and import these into Captivate to add extra features.
We did look at a variety of tools when we wanted to find an alternative to Flash but at that time (we started with Captivate 2) we found that the best option was indeed Captivate. I regularly check up on competing products and there are some interesting alternatives available now but they are not as advanced as Captivate imho.
When that is said. Captivate is (and has always been) full of weird bugs and things that aren't working properly. This is extremely annoying but we have learned to work our way around most of them. It also seems that the stability of Captivate varies greatly from installation to installation. We are 8 people in my department all working with Captivate. Our computers are all the same and the OS is a corporate standard. Despite this some people here have some weird problems with Captivate that I never experience. I can't explain why it happens (and neither can they) but it could be the installation or it could be the way people work. An example is "missing/corrupt" Captivate files. We have always been working directly on a network drive. This is something that is often recommended against doing because it can cause corrupt Captivate files. The interesting thing is that I have never once experienced a corrupt Captivate file even though i have opened, worked on and saved many thousands of them from/to our network drive. One of my colleagues had around 20 occurences of corrupt Captivate files in the same timespan and from the same network drive.
The biggest problem in Captivate is the quiz module in my opinion. The quiz module is probably the most important when we talk about E-learning development tools and that is where Captivate is the weakest. You can't really customize your quizzes, there isn't enough different question types and interaction types, you can't use video but worst of all - it is unstable and buggy. Users can get stuck in a quiz without being able to move forward or backwars, the review quiz is buggy etc.
One thing I often see with Captivate developers is that they try and do everything in Captivate. While most things are possible to do in Captivate then it might no be the best solution. Some things can be created in Flash and imported into Captivate saving you tons of time and grief and in the end give you a much better end-product. I know that everyone doesn't have access to a Flash programmer, but then you can buy your way out of the problem.
If you are looking for a tool where you can have full control of everything in your courses then the only real solution is Adobe Flash. This will allow you to build the courses exactly as you please but it comes at a big price. It gets way more complex to create courses, which results in longer development times and updating your existing course becomes much more difficult and time consuming.
Minor annoyances
-    Too easy to accidentally move objects. Double clicking on a small graphic or a text caption can easily cause it to move or change size slightly. No way to lock their position only (e.g. lock text position but still allow editing).
Doesn't really bother me but I guess it's different from person to person. You could just click on the object in the timeline instead to avoid moving the object.
-    Text caption boxes mysterious maximize (vertically) from time to time.
I never experienced that.
-    Grouping of objects is not possible.
I agree that this could be handy on slides with many objects.
-    Previewing “From this slide – F8” does not take into account (or initialize) persistent graphics (or otherwise) on the first slide or template; this results in missing objects when doing a quick preview.
Yes but if Captivate was to take into account everything that happened earlier than previewing from this slide you might as well click preview project (F4).
-    Item names/variables are unwieldy. I have a number of graphics which I re-use throughout a lesson. I want to give each of them common names, such as ico_jobaid, img_core_splash, etc. Unfortunately, I cannot use identical names throughout a lesson. Each page requires a unique name for every object. This results in an item name like ico_interactive.png (as it is named in the library), appearing as TImageItem681 and TImageItem680 (copied twice) on a slide.
I think this is the same in any application.. The whole idea of naming objects is that they have a unique name to be identified and manipulate later. I do however agree that the default naming in Captivate sucks. If the resource is named ico_interactive.png in the library, then Captivate should name it slide1_ico_interactive.png as the object name. It would make it easier and quicker to identify the correct resources.
Major issues
-    Occasionally I insert a graphics that can’t be made visible.
I never experienced that with properly configured graphics. Sure you can have problems if you insert a CMYK image or a 300 dpi image, but if you use RGB 72dpi images then it works fine. (at least it always have for me).
-    .cp file size seems to continuously increase in size, despite removing unused resources.
True but I never really experienced this as a problem. In Captivate 3 it could really get out of hand, but in CP4 it's much better. Alternatively create a blank Captivate file with the same dimensions and copy/paste your slides into that. (Don't know how it will behave with all your advanced actions though).
-    Text bullet issues (ending bullets occasional show up as a larger size)
It is because you have a different font size on the last line of the caption. Just do a CTRL-A to select all the text and select the proper font size. Alternatively adjust the default font and size to what you want in Captivate to avoid this in the future.
-    Roll-over slidlets do not work as intended in AS3 mode. I must preview or publish in AS2.
Didn't know that - you should probably report it as a bug if you haven't done so already.
-    Recording Software Simulations!
Captivate 4 allows recording of simulations in up to four modes (Demonstration, Training, Assessment, and Custom). Unfortunately, it appears to record these simulations are separate and distinct recordings. This is a problem because call-outs and other edits must be repeated for each simulation. Other simulation tools record once and can be edited once for passive and/or interactive viewing.
Agree - this is rather annoying.
-    Buttons! Multiple buttons/text captions on a slide.
From what I understand you have a whole bunch of buttons on a slide and then when the user clicks on one it shows some text / image? If that is the case then yes it will be a tedious process to build all this. I don't know if it would be easy in any other applications though (surely most of the other Rapid E-learning tools won't even be able to do it). Perhaps it would be better to rethink the way you build the course. Can't you use rollover captions / images instead?
Another alternative is to build these "interactions" in Flash and then import them into Captivate. Basically you would need to build a couple of different templates where you would be able to reuse the Flash framework and only change images/text in Flash and then importo it into Captivate.
-    Cannot find a way to edit the default look (object positioning/object sizes) of a quiz. The only attribute that seems changeable is the font size.
This is a major handicap in Captivate and one of the reasons why we don't use Captivate quizzes in our courses. We build all our course in Captivate (and add Flash and other interactions) but we always use a Flash Quiz. The Captivate quiz is simply too ugly and unstable. We deploy courses to 35.000 people worldwide so stability is our number one priority and sadly Captivate quizzes don't offer that at this point.
Lock ups and crashes
-    Double clicking on a .cp file will often result in Captivate freezing at the start up screen.
I never had that problem. I use Win XP, Vista 64-bit and Win7 64-bit.
-    Captivate crashes and sometimes predictably, especially where animations are inserted.
I am using both a Windows 7 64 bit and a Windows Vista 32 bit OS. I have tried the following options with seemingly no difference: RUN AS Admin, XP Compatibility mode
My regular development PC runs Windows XP Pro. I never have any problems here. On Vista 64-bit I have a ton of problems, but Captivate didn't crash or lock up - it simply didn't perform the actions I wanted it to do. So far on Windows 7 I haven't encountered any crashes or problems. However there is no doubt that Captivate 4 was designed with Win XP in mind and Vista and Win7 are not native platforms for it.

Captivate 6 Errors: Missing file libwinpthread-1.dll and The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) on Windows 2008 R2

Hi,
I have a problem with Captivate 6 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have 2 different scenarios where I tested but the result is same.
1- I used AMEE (Application Manager Enterprise 3.1) to create the installation Package to deploy through SCCM 2012.
Notice that the current package works fine on Windows7 (x86 & x64) but not on 2008 R2 due to an error after I try to launch Captivate.exe application.
The error states that there's a Missing file: libwinpthread-1.dll and if I copy and made a registration of this .DLL file then it sends another error saying: The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) so it never let me launch the application.
2- Now if I install the package directly from the Original sources(CD) without creating any AMEE package after completing the installation I still have the same error about the DLL missing file.
Is there any fix or workaround to install Captivate 6 on Win2008 R2 ?
Thanks in advance & kind regards.

Wow, No replies so far !!
Any one ??

SCORM 1.2 tracking Captivate 3 lesson_location

I have a client who is using Captivate 3 to author a SCORM 1.2 course. When deployed to the LMS we have experienced problems with bookmarking, in that it does not appear to work all of the time.
On investigating this further using ADL Testsuite to track the data being passed between content and LMS, I was able to establish that a "lesson_location" vary rarely written back to the LMS, even upon Save and Exit. There were a couple of slides and button interactions that trigerred data to be written to the LMS, but upon looking at the author file, there was nothing to suggest why these slides or button clicks should send back data.
I have 2 questions.
1: Is it possible to manipulate when data is being written back to the LMS, ie, can I choose when a lesson_location is saved? The solution I am looking for would be one that is native to Captivate 3 and not a custom JavaScript solution as I need to provide it to a non developer a non developer.
2: What would be the likely cause of the lesson_location being sent to the LMS on the slides and button clicks that it did happen. Understanding this, I hope will help me manipulate it.
I appreciate any help you can provide on this.
Thanks,
Sam

Streaming videos from Cloudfront in Captivate 6

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone out there can explain this to me in as simple a way as possible.
I have a large project with 10 video files at various points throughout the course. I've run some tests with the videos set to progressively download, but they're not buffering very well. The video will pause to download (as expected), but as soon as it plays again it skips ahead to a later point in the video. The longest video is 2 minutes and I've managed to keep the file sizes around 10 to 20MB.
Since the progressive download route is failing dismally, I'm trying to set the videos up for streaming. We already use Amazon S3 and I have now enable Cloudfront as well. I've set up a dedicated bucket on S3 with some video files in it and edited the ACL accordingly (everyone can "read" the contents). Then I've created a distribution on Cloudfront.
The setup in Captivate for a video looks like this:
Video Type: Streaming Video
URI: rtmp://xxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st
Stream Name: mp4:Video 1.f4v
Autoplay = Yes
Auto Rewind = Yes
I've tried using an mp4 video. I've followed the workaround instructions here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/03/workaround-for-video-streaming-issues-in-captivat e.html. And, I've tried a few variations. Nothing has worked yet. If anybody has managed to work with Cloudfront and Cp6 and can provide step by step instructions for making it work, I'd really appreciate it if you could share your wisdom.
I wouldn't be surpirsed if I'm missing something obvious - e.g. I'm previewing in a browser (pushing f12 in Captivate) - should that work or should i be publishing and running the course from a server in order for the videos to show up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rod and Anjaneai,
I've tested the video again as an mp4 with all lower case and no spaces (just underscores) and still had no luck. I tried three Stream name variations: video_1 / video_1.mp4 / mp4:video_1
If the setup that I had above for the video type and URI is right, then maybe the problem lies on the Cloudfront side. Here's what I did there...
In S3, I created a new bucket at the top level as xyz-abc and put the video_1.mp4 in there. I edited the ACL to make the folder and sub-folders readable to everbody.
In Cloudfront, I then created a Streaming (not download) distribution and pointed it at xyz-abc.s3.amazonaws.com
The distribution is Enable and Deployed.
From there I added the video to my Cp 6 slide as an event video "already deployed to a server..." and put the following in to the URL field rtmp://xxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st and hit OK.
The Video is inserted with the following message: "Failed to load the video file. The file path or the URL may be invalid." I just said yes and fixed up the URI and so on under the video properties to match the setup in my original post (with the appropriate variations for the mp4 video instaed of f4v).
I tried to use the detect size feature, but that gives the same Invalid URL message.
I haven't once managed to import the video without seeing the error message, so that probably has a lot to do with why it's not working.
Please could you see if you can spot where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
Paul

Captivate 4 Widgets

Captivate 4
I used the widget from a template in my captivate lesson to provide a certificate once the user completes the lesson’s test with a score of 80% or high. However, if the user is unsuccessful on the first attempt they are required to re-take the test. The test summary slide will indicate the correct percentage score i.e. 7 of 8 for a score of 85% the problem is the certificate indicates a combined score from the two tests i.e. 140% Grade Pass.
The question is …How do I modify the widget so that the correct percentage is shown in the certificate’s displays?

How are you deploying the CP-movie? Are you using a LMS? And if so, what were the settings for Manifest?

Can't create a silent install package for Captivate 7 with AAMEE

I'm trying to create a silent install package for Captivate 7. It doesn't appear that this works with AAMEE. Has anyone been able to do this? If it won't be possible with AAMEE, is there a way to do it with cmd line switches?

Hi,
You would need to use Adobe Creative Cloud Packager to create a deployment package and deploy Captivate 7 as AAMEE does not supports Captivate 7.
Please refer the documentation available at - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager.html
Hope this helps.

P.S - Creative Cloud Packager would be deployed under your Adobe LWS account. In case you do not have it available in LWS, then please P.M me your email address and I will get that processed.

Managing deployment pools is a hassle. Any tips? (and feature suggestions)

Hi, we currently have 20 device licenses for Adobe Creative Cloud. I manage the installation of CC and the license assignment.
Our desktop computers are managed by a different department. Occasionally a computer will get repurposed and an employee will get a new computer. The original computer may not get wiped and unlicensed (as far as Adobe is concerned) and our software deployment server reinstalls CC on the employee's new computer thus putting us over the limit.
I don't find out about this usually until one of the 20 employees calls me to tell me that their Adobe CC has reverted to a trial version.
I have to login to the Adobe Creative Cloud Admin page and determine which computer should be unlicensed. Our computers have their File Sharing names set to something a bit cryptic (contains part of the serial number) and I can't change this because it's controlled by our Desktop Support department. I have created an Excel doc to track licenses but every time this happens I have to go through each one and compare it to my list. It's a hassle and time consuming. I can't imagine managing this with many more computers, and we're in the process of acquiring more device licenses for a different sub department.
How do other admins manage this? What does Adobe expect us to do about this? What is the 'best practice'?
Unless I'm missing something, Adobe could at least make some changes to the CC Admin page to make it easier to manage.
- Adobe should alert the license administrator that the limit was exceeded so I don't have to wait for an employee to call me.
- Add a way to add notes to devices within the deployment pool page. It shows "Device Name" and "status" only. Add another column or two so I can add my own notes for things like employee/computer/dept name.

Hi Chris,
Create a license file Creative Cloud Help | Create license file with device license and run RemoveVolumeSerialzation before rolling out a new installation.
This should fix the issue.
Thanks,
Ashish
