Does de-authorising reduce the authorisation count?

I have heard rumour that de-authorising previously authorised PC/devices doesn't actually reduce the activation count for ADE.
I this true?
I got a bit carried away when I 1st started and authorised 3 PCs at home and my bebook reader. My bebook reader had to be returned due to fault - unfortunately I didn't de-authorise it before it  - adobe support tells me that there's nothing I can do about that (so that's one activation gone) and when the replacement reader turns up another activation will be used - that will be five in total - so if de-authorising does nothing to the count I'm left with one authorisation till the end of time - I've asked suppoort about this and haven't had an answer - I'm a little wary of buying more ADE books if the authorisations run out (due to pc failure or reader failure or uprades of either) and being stuck with a library I can't access.
I've checked around the forums and it looks like exceeding the authorisation count is not an uncommon problem and there appears little progress on fixing the problem on Adobe's part.
I am still waiting for a reply to the last post.
Following is my discussion with support -
Ok I understand that I can't de-activate the reader now it has been returned but assuming I keep using digital editions for years to
come, as PCs die or need the hard-drive replaced/reformated and the breakdown usually occurs without warning (ie I don't get the ch
ance to de-activate the PC) won't I eventually run out of activations? (I've already lost one to the returned ebook, one on the PC I
download with and one to the new reader when it arrives)
Under those circumstances do I have to then create a new accounbt and lose access to all my previously purchased ebooks?
I would have thought the record of authorisations would be held by adobe and therefore able to be removed/reset by adobe.
I'm just trying to understand the authorisation process before I invest too much in digital edition ebooks.
The number of authorisations is something else I'm little confused about I read in one place that I could have 6 PCs AND 5 ebooks de
vices but I think I reade on the adbode site that it is only 5 PCs or devices in total.
Thanks for your assistance with these queries

Hi,
Thank you for the response, I haven't had time to check my email until today.  Unfortunately I had already returned the ebook to the
seller for warranty replacement when I sent my query, so I can't connect it to my computer to deactivate it's subscription.  Is the
re another way of deactivating the ebook from my authorisations list without having the device physically present?

Hi, I'm new to digital editions and I tried installing and authorizing three PCs and one ebook reader while learning how to use digi
tal editions (got a bit carried away).
My ebook reader has a fault and I'm returning it and expect to recieve a new unit soon. My question is how do I go about deactivatin
g the ebook reader prior to return and can I deactivate the PCs so I can authorize only the PCs I need. I assume without deactivatin
g something I will run out of activations at some point.
I suppose if I could de-authorize everything and start again that would be great - assuming I don't lose the rights to the books I h
ave already purchased.

>I have heard rumour that de-authorising previously authorised  PC/devices doesn't actually reduce the activation count for ADE.
>I  this true?
Yes, you only want to deauthorize when getting rid of a machine (as a step remove your personal information), or when directed to by a competent tech support person.
If you run out of activations you will need to contact tech support by going to http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions and clicking on 'Submit a web case'

  • How to Reduce the Gate count of a Design(RTL gate count)

     
    Hi All,
    I am a newbie to FPGA design and implemetation. I have a design (H.264 Encoder) and implemented on zynq zc702 (which is having Artix7 FPGA fabric). Now we need to implement it on zynq zc706 with reduced gate count ( because we are going to add some more blocks like rate control etc.,)
    How to reduce the gate count ?
    Please guide me regarding this query.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh

    
    Try to reduce the overall control set. Registers in the slice shares the same control set so if the number of registers in the control set do not divide cleanly, some registers may go unused.
    Make sure correct DSP and BRAM blocks are getting inferred by the tool
    Try to map FSM in BRAM.
    Use Synthesis and Implementation level strategies.
    See if any module is having high utilization and can be reduced by changing RTL: report_utilization -hierarchical  -file utilization.txt

  • Messages App (OS 10.8.4) Does Not Correctly Display the Read Count.

    For a while now, the messages app in Mountain Lion does not mark an iMessage as being "read." If I read an iMessage on my iPhone, then it will update the read count in the messages app on my MacBook Pro to show it has been read. If I read an iMessage on my MacBook Pro, the blue dot stays and the read count remains unchanged. Can someone point me in the right direction on getting the read count to work again?
    Thanks!

    The read count is also at the top of the window:
    Not to mention the blue dots that don't go away:
    And yes, the "read" count is updated between devices. This always worked for me until 10.8.2 was released and it broke on my main system. I have another computer and it continues to work. I read an iMessage on that computer, the blue dots go away from my iPhone and no iMessages show up on the lock screen. For some reason my main computer doesn't function this way anymore.

  • Does sub program reduces the performance

    hi all,
    suppose that i have two solutions to increase the salaries of the employees for a table
    method 1:
    create or replace function inc_sal (pempno emp.empno%type) return integer
    is
    vsal emp.sal%type;
    begin
    select sal into vsal from emp where empno=pempno;
    vsal:=vsal+vsal*0.30;
    return(vsal);
    end;
    sql> select sal, inc_sal(empno) from emp;
    and
    method 2:
    sql> select sal, sal*0.30 as inc_sal from emp;
    now in the first method, for each record of the table the function is called and collect the returned value...
    but for the second method there is nothing like that
    so now which method is faster in performance, does the number of function calls in first method reduce the performance......?
    thanks and regards,
    sri ram.

    Oracle has a separate SQL and PL/SQL engine. When you go from one to the other, this is called a 'context switch'.
    A context switch is a costly operation.
    In variant 1 you seem to embed the function you wrote in SQL.
    This means
    - for each record you will have a context switch
    - in the function you call SQL: another context switch
    - The SQL in your function will show as recursive SQL and will never get merged into the main query.
    So actually variant 1 is a textbook example of 'slow by slow programming' or 'How to write unscalable applications'
    Remember Tom Kytes mantra:
    When you can do it in SQL, you should do it in SQL
    When you can't do it in SQL, you should do it in PL/SQL
    When you can't do it in PL/SQL, you should do it in Java (in the database)
    When you can't do it in Java, you should do it in any language outside the database.

  • Does anyone know why the word count in Word for Mac changes so drastically? In one document it goes up and down by several hundred at a time when I have done nothing but scroll through the document.

    I am new to the wonderful world of Mac and all of my documents were created in MS Word on my old laptop. I noticed that the word counts were slightly different when I opened the documents in Word for Mac, but then I noticed that they changed drastically. For intance, I opened a document today and after the initial period where the word count shifts, it seemed to settle on 13,171. I left the document for a while to work on some other things and when I came back the word count had changed to 11,677. I didn't do anything to the document. Word counts are important to me since I need at least 60,000 for my PhD Dissertation. Which word count should I trust?

    Since Word is a Microsoft product, you should probably post your question on the Microsoft Mac forums:

    Hi ...
    Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

    If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
    From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference ...

  • How can I reduce the file size when PDF Optimizer does not do much?

    I have a PDF form that exists of 48 pages. 44 pages are forms / have form fields, the other 4 are just informative. Each form-page has approx. 80 fields (checkboxes, text fields).
    When I started setting up the PDF form the file size was 12 MB and I had placed fields on 21 pages. Then with 34 pages the file size was 19 MB. And with 40 pages it was 35 MB big! Finally with 44 pages the file size is 34 MB.
    So I searched with Google and found some tips. Using the "PDF Optimizer" option inside Acrobat for example. So I did, and the file was reduced only with 3 MB... 31 MB was the file. Also used the option "Save as.... Optimized".... no difference. I also found a suggestion about removing embedded fonts. Using the "Audit Space Usage" option I noticed the fonts taking many MegaBytes:
    * Content Streams: 5.287.000     15,09 %
    * Fonts:                24.556.810     70,08 %  !!
    * Acrobat forms:      3.349.164    12,05 %
    In the older PDF version (I saved and kept this one too) with just 21 pages with form-fields, the  "Audit Space Usage" shows:
    * Content Streams: 5.292.000     40,14 %
    * Fonts:                 1.290.224     9,79 %
    * Acrobat forms:      1.588.758    12,05 %
    So I could save many many MegaBytes by -UnEmbedding- fonts. But if I do this (unembed ALL fonts), the file size stays almost the same!?!?!? Why? What can I do to reduce the file size? I would like it to be 8 MB if possible (32 MB -  24 MB = 8 MB)?
    Thank you for your help!

    If you have authored the form, reduce the number of different fonts for the content and form fields.
    Any font used in a form field will cause that font to be embedded into the PDF.
    If you are going to Optimize the PDF be very careful with forms. Optimization does a lot of removal of items and rearranging of items which can really mess up forms.

  • Do you need an additional slot for the RBS and does the RBS count as an additional hard drive in the Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?

    Hello Community
        If you have a clustered Sharepoint 2013 Server farm running RAID 10, on a
    clustered WS2012 R2 server that has 10 hard drive slots:
            (4) drives being part of the Sharepoint 2013 Server farm
            (1) drive for the Web App Server
            (5) are for hot swap if any of the production hard drives fail
        The question(s) is:
            - If the server only has 10 slots for hard drives are you still allowed to add a
    NAS/RBS drive and does the NAS/RBS drive get clustered also, or does this scenario require
    reducing the RAID level down to RAID 5 to allow for NAS/RBS hard drive?
            - Does the NAS/RBS hard drive need a hard drive for hot swap?
            - Does the NAS/RBS drive have to have Sharepoint 2013 Server or WS2012 R2 running on it?
            - Does the Web App Server have Sharepoint 2013 running or just WS2012 R2 running on it?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    RAID 10 requires a minimum of 4 hard drives. The LUN for RBS must be attached to the SQL Server, not SharePoint server, as a local drive. You just need to be running the minimum required OS for the version of SQL Server you're using.
    Do you mean Office Web Apps by "Web App Server"? If so, that cannot have SharePoint installed on it. Otherwise, if you're just referring to it as another SharePoint server, yes it would have SharePoint installed on it.

  • Does the ipad reduce the quality of photos that are imported using the SD to lightning connection kit?

    Hi everyone. I'm hoping you can help.
    I'm currently travelling and my intention is to take photos using my camera, import them to my iPad using the lightning to SD connector and then upload the photos to cloud storage for safe keeping.
    The problem I've found is when I import photos to my iPad the file size, and therefore quality of the photos, is reduced. I know this because I have tested uploading the same photo to Mega.co.nz cloud storage using both the iPad and a Nexus 4 phone - the iPad uploaded the photo at file size 2.9mb and the Nexus uploaded the photo at the original file size of 5.8mb.
    Can this issue be resolved?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ben

    Sorry, issue resolved.
    For those that may be having similar problems, the issue is the Mega.co.nz app that was created for apple products. It's possibly a bug that means it either compresses the file or does not accurately record the file size. I will report the fault to Mega.

  • How long does a tick last for the Tick Count (ms) VI in LabVIEW?

    I'm trying to compare the timing performance between a VI implemented in LabVIEW and another VI implemented in LabVIEW FPGA module. If I use the Tick Count in both VIs (every one in their own module), I want to know how long does a tick last in LabVIEW standard (in the computer)?

    I think you are misunderstanding what the value of a "tick" is.  From what I gathered from reading your link (which I couldn't get to from your post, but accidentally ran into on a search) a tick of the OS clock."  Curiously, though - why 55ms?  That was mentioned as the tick of a Win95/98 OS!
    I guess you can say that the it returns the value of the next "tick" of the OS clock and returns that value in ms.  So, the value of a tick varies from OS to OS.  In Windows 95/98, for example, you can only look at the OS clock every 55ms or so, but it still returns a value that represents ms.

  • How does Photoshop Elements set the histogram pixel count (Y value)?

    I use histograms a lot to evaluate the quality of an image. But I've noticed that some histograms have "flat peaks". I don't think that indicates real clipping is taking place, but it does raise the question as to what the maximum count is set to. I can find nothing that discusses this issue.
