Does Adobe CC Delete Program Files when not Paid?

This sounded absolutely ludicrous to me but someone said that when they didnt pay for the CC membership, Adobe deleted all the files from the PC and then had to re-download all the files again to use it. I had a couple of times, deactivated my CC on a PC for weeks, came back, and reactivated, and it was working just like before.
I would think paid or not, Adobe can "deactivate" the software through the internet, but I would think its a serious breach of privacy and security for Adobe to access your program files remotely and without your permission and presence, and start deleting files in your Program Files folder.
Someone please tell me the details on this, thanks!

Hi Dathaeus, NO! we are not delelting any files from your PC, nor do we have a control of it, we will only and only suspend your activation, incase of non payment, or if you discontinue, you will still have your files on your PC.
However, if your subscription expires, and there are files on Cloud, more than 2GB, you may not be able to access those, and after 90days, they will be deleted.
Hope this Clears the confusion.

Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

Hi,
This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
Or it may be in the Registry.
Click on Start > Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

Why did Adobe DC delete ALL files on my SD card?

Well, the only thing that happened with my tablet today was the new Adobe DC was pushed onto it. Now ALL pics, videos, and old PDF files on my SD card have been deleted. It is blank. WOW!!! Thanks....

I found them. But having to access them separately & then "create a local file" for each one has been very counter-productive & counter-intuitive compared with the 'old' version...I guess 'the cloud' has got us with a ring-in-the-nose leading us where it wants...

Why does Adobe promise return calls and then not do so?

Why does Adobe promise return calls and then not do so? To avoid talking with customers?

Thanks for your reply - unfortunately I have talked with an Adobe

indefinitely. I am annoyed because I paid an additional $60 to them
for no reason. Appreciate your comment.

Why does Adobe draw create png files, not vector?

I cant work out why Adobe creates png files. I have old Adobe ideas files and these work fine as vector graphics, but draw just keeps creating png files when I need vector, can you help please

Sadly you can't. The model Adobe has set up is that you need to send the file to Illustrator, and can only send to Illustrator CC - not even CS6. Even though I have CC and can use the feature, it is really annoying that it can only spit out low quality pngs as sometimes I want to just knock up something quickly on my iPad, export it and mail it on. The only real option is to stick to using Ideas.
Updated: It looks like they may have lifted the restriction on you having to have a Creative Cloud account as of the last release, so maybe you can now export to CS6

Should I (and can I) delete Program Files (x86) folder in Windows 7?

I installed Windows 7 32 bit over a Windows Vista 64 bit computer. I had to reinstall all applications (Office, etc.) and they were installed in the new folder 'Program files'. Can I just delete the old 'Program Files (X86)' folder? Should I do that? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is impossible to upgrade a 64-bit operating system to a 32-bit operating system, no matter it is an OEM disk or not.
Windows 7 32-bit does not include the “Program Files (x86)” folder. Only the 64-bit operating systems have it. In this case, the 64-bie operating system is Windows Vista 64-bit.
In addition, if you performed a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on the old system (Windows Vista 64-bit) partition, the old system files should be saved in C:\Windows.old folder.
So, Folk70, did you perform a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on another hard disk drive? After logging into Windows 7 32-bit, then you found the “Program Files (x86)” folder in the Windows Vista 64-bit system partition?
If not, would you please upload the following information to SkyDrive and provide us the link for analyzing?

Unexpected Result: Deleting asset file did not affect Encore

I am using Encore DVD 2.0. I deleted the DV AVI file, the asset for the timeline, from the folder of orgin. I did not remove the DV AVI asset from the Encore project. When I opened the Encore project, I expect the DV AVI file to have either a "broken link" or be disabled or say "file not found." But when I opened the Encore project, the project Preview played just fine as if the DV AVI file had not been deleted from the folder of orgin. Why is this?
This confused me for the following reason.....when I import an asset into an Adobe Premiere Pro project then delete the actual asset file, Adobe Premiere Pro will let me know that the file cannot be found, etc.
Thanks for any input,
Angela

I did a Burn DVD Disc with encore on a project where the untranscoded original asset file had been deleted. The DVD played just fine. I'm going to do some further comparison testing, and will let you know more.

Creative Cloud Desktop deletes your files when you re-install - why?

Just re-installed Creative Cloud Desktop to try to fix a syncing issue and it deleted all my personal files stored in my local creative cloud folder. As many of these files had not synced, I have now lost them.
Adobe support not sympathetic.
This is so annoying. Uninstalling a piece of software should never delete user files.
Really hacked off.

ddinsdale2000,
I'm sorry to hear that your experience has not been good.
Could you confirm that your files are not present in either of these locations:
1. In your user's home directory (either /Users/<yourusername>/Creative Cloud Files/ on Mac, or C:\Users\<yourusername>\Creative Cloud Files\ on Windows)?
2. In your Trash or Recycle Bin?
The Creative Cloud desktop application should not delete any files on uninstalling/reinstalling. Also, Creative Cloud file sync does not outright delete files, they are just moved to the Trash/Recycle Bin.
We can look into what happened here if you send us your logs. Please zip up the entire contents of this folder, and email it to me at [email protected]:
Mac: /Users/<yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync
Windows: C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync
Library (on Mac) and AppData (on Windows) are hidden folders. Please read these pages for help on showing these folders:

How to delete a file when it is open ?

Hi all,
I want to delete a file even it is open, and that should be deleted with out exiting the program itself. By using deleteOnExit() method of File class it is possible, but it is not valid for all types of files, and it works if we exit the program only.
I need a way to delete a file even it is opened, and we should not use deleteOnExit() method to achieve it.
Help appreciated ...

Not possible.

Creating Cinema Tools Program File when Exporting Film Lists

When Exporting a Cinema Tools Film List,
if the "Save a Cinema Tools Program File" option is checked, I get an error message saying:
"An error occurred in getting the parameters for the cut list."
It works fine if the option is unchecked, however, I need to create the Program File in order to generate a Change List later. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

If there is anybody from apple, please answer this question. Without possibility changing data is film cut list good for nothing. Thank you.

Prompt To Download File when not a pdf or doc

Different files are uploaded through one of my applications. The problem is when clients want to view the file, if its not a .pdf or .doc, .docx, its not rendered through the browser and throws an error.
Is there a way I could force a download prompt to save the file when the file extension is not a pdf or doc?
As of now they are viewing the file through <a class="note" href="#qry.drawing#" target="_blank">View</a>
Thanks

Most probably reason the file is got corrupt due to virus. For this I would like to suggest you a third party tool which will help you to recover your corrupted PDF file data and it will export into a fresh PDF file. Tool Name:
Recovery Toolbox for PDF.

Encrypted Profile Migration from XP to Windows 7 (Windows & Program Files Folder not Available)

I'm trying to migrate a few encrypted profiles from Windows XP to Windows 7
I have a disk without "Windows" and "Program Files" Folder with the userprofiles without a backup of recovery agent and related certificates.
By USMT or in another way it is possible a deployment and recovery (also partial) of these userprofiles folders? These data can be accessible in some way or there are lost forevar?
During USMT deployment by scanstate/loadstate cmdline tools: I used to be specify a KeyString
after the switch command "/encrypt /efs:". I can blank "/efs:" argument during USMT Deployment?
Thank you.

Sadly, without a backup of encrypted userprofiles, related data are unusable after scanstate phase.
Anyway, what

Arachchige V Aravinda had written is very important to know when you copy or move ecrypted folder and files in a different partition or in a another disk.
Thanks Hetti
