Indesign CS6 Server Licensing

Hi,
What are the differences between the Limited Single Instance and the Limited Single Instance Development?
I can see the following link however would like to know the following questions as well.
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesignserver/buying-guide.displayTab3.html
What are the restrictions for the Limited Single Instance Development edition that would impact the development and testing activity?
Thanks.

Got it to work eventually.
I was calling "InDesignServer -port 12345"
But I had to call the indesignserver.command application instead. That did the trick!
Thanks!

When trying to start InDesign CS6 Server: command not found

Greetings,
I just installed InDesign CS6 Server, but when trying to run the application from terminal I get the following error: -bash: InDesignServer: command not found
I thought, maybe it had something to do with the licensing so I ran this command:
MacBook-Pro-van-Mario:~ mariovandeneynde$ cd /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Application\ Manager/Enterprise/utilities/APTEE/CS6
MacBook-Pro-van-Mario:CS6 mariovandeneynde$ ./adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Mac-GM
RESULT:
Copyright 2012 Adobe Systems Incorporated
All rights reserved.
StartTrial Successful
Return Code = 0
So, I tried to launch IDS again, but always the same error.
Now, my mac isn't a MAC Server, as mentioned in the Tech Specs, but I don't think that should mind, cause the installation was successful.
So, anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Mario

I am facing difficulties activating InDesign CS6 server

I'd like to share with you my frustration about InDesign CS6 Server which tries to do the very same as shown above, but apparenty noone at Adobe did think about the fact that ID Server has NO GUI. So as a customer youre left with an Installation that provides NO means for later offline activation, but provides the very same link at installation, basically guiding you through a process that can not be accomplished with ID Server by any means.
Moreover, the Installer claims there is a 7-day grace period until you MUST have activated your license but even with entering a valid code the Server wont start from second ONE, stating "Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit". This sort of misdesign is what makes customers furious! And then they wonder why people use circumvention technologies.

Hi Detlef,
    For offline installation scenarios of InDesignserver, if activation is not done while installation, then as a user we need a utility named "Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Toolkit (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html) " for activating InDesignServer.
For usage of Provisioning Toolkit, please refer "http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/Ad obe_Provisioning_Toolkit_Enterprise_Edition_v5.pdf"
Using the specified utility, 1st generate the Request Code, use this Request code to generate a response code on site "http://www.adobe.com/go/getactivated". Then use that response code in the Provisioning toolkit, to activate InDesignServer.
Please, do follow following steps:-
Now type the following command in that Terminal/Command Prompt window
Set directory to adobe_prtk and type below command
                      adobe_prtk --tool=Type1Exception --generate --serial=1111111111111111111111111 --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Win\Mac-GM
This will generate a Request Code something like : - YXpex7HpnjTKTG9yK4kK/BE/VmeAKJrh
Now go tohttp://www.adobe.com/go/getactivated on some another online machine.
Ø Login with your adobe ID and password the click on “Generate Response Code”.
Ø Now enter Request code and Serial number (using which you have generated Request Code), click “Generate Response Code” button.
Ø It will give you a Response code, eg: - jnGVmMxU0IkIBv324qhALnT2Yt9RhyCBr8hTtJBAtBs=
Ø Now type the following command in command prompt/terminal.
                   adobe_prtk --tool=Type1Exception --accept --serial=11111111111111111111 --responsecode=jnGVmMxU0IkIBv324qhALnT2 Yt9RhyCBr8hTtJBAtBs= --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Mac-GM
you will get the following message:
                Copyright 2012 Adobe Systems Incorporated
                All rights reserved.
                Return Code = 0
It shows that the InDesign Server has been successfully activated
For further details, please do refer :-

Could you please let me know that do I have to afford to the price of Indesign CS6 Server every year during my usage or one time when I purchase it?

Creating Hyperlink using InDesign CS6 Server

Hello,
Could anyone help me to automate hyperlink generation for the web related contents, I can acheive this using desktop, but not in InDesign CS6 server, since 'selection' property is not supporting by the server version.
Thanks,
Praveen

As i understand, if your panels at the same height you can create a new document with 6 page with the size scaled to 25%, then on page panel: unckeck AllowDocumet Pages to Shuffle. Drag the pages to be side to side, and that make the total width of you mural
When you export to pdf, on general tab check on all pages & spreads

Anyone had problems running the debug version of InDesign CS6 Server

Hi Folks,
A number of developers at my firm have tried using the debug version of InDesign Server CS6, but find they cannot run it with the following error:
ERROR [server] Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit.
In each case the installer ran correctly and a valid serial number for debug CS6 used (from the Adobe Partners site).
We have no problems with the release version of CS6 server, or CS5/CS5.5 debug/release versions.
Has anyone suffered the same problem?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Ian,
I had a look and although there was one post suggesting a similar problem, the answer didn't work or was not applicable for the debug version. However I do have an answer - I used a release serial number and it now starts up normally!
Thanks for your reply.

Indesign CS6 Server: Multiple instance configured, just one random instance come up?!

Hello everyone,
we have a problem with our Indesign server. It is configured to run as service on a Windows 2008 R2. We configured one instance with the management snap - that worked well. So we decided to add more instances and now the problems start: If I start the indesign server service all configured instances come up as process. But only a random one comes up able to process jobs. The other instances are dead - they don't even open a port. And I could see that the dead instances take hardly memory (ca. 50MB). The working instance takes ca. 260MB RAM directly after launching the service. What we are doing wrong?
As you can see the instance with the PID 7832 takes a lot more RAM - thats the working instance. I checked with "netstat -an" for the ports 4711-4714 - just port 4713 was open.
Thanks for your help and Regards from Germany

InDesign CC Server Availability

First, thanks to all of you in here for taking a look at my question; I'm a newbie here and this question is a little below your level, but since I'm new I'm not really up to date on current releases. I've been trying, for the past few hours, to find out where I can get a non-trial version of InDesign CC Server. It seems that nobody in customer service or sales knows anything about the product. Nobody seems to know it even exists. I'm really confused. So, questions for those of you that may know something about the product:
1) How much does the CC version cost when purchasing from Adobe? I am an developer trying to price out for my employer (<15 people). We have a solution we're running off of InDesign desktop CS4 but it's time to make the system faster and tighter and let the rest of our users use it.
2) Is there a significant difference in functionality from InDesign CS6 Server?
3) Why, in your opinion, doesn't anyone in customer service or sales know anything about this? Is it a dud product that nobody's buying and Adobe's not pushing? I was told multiple times that I need to contact a partner, but I'm not interested in any services the partners have to offer - I just want the software to not expire after 90 days and it's like pulling teeth trying to get someone knowledgeable.
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. If i get someone who really knows the product I'll post details here. At this stage it's fairly hard to get good documentation on ID Server.

InDesign CS6 Test: LBQ start hangs on OSGI prompt

Hi folks,
I installed an InDesign CS6 test server with four instances, configured for LBQ as written in the docs. The server starts flawlessly, The ior?.txt are written correctly. Then I start clover.cmd and get a console with the message "Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8787" and an osgi prompt. Nothing more.
Some time ago I already installed an InDesign CS6 server on a different machine, using exactly the same procedures, and everything worked, including LBQ. After the osgi prompt, obviously an embedded tomcat was started, listening on port 8080. Why is this now different, and no tomcat appears?
I am logged in as administrator, so access rights shouldn't be a problem. System is a MS Windows server 2008 R2 on a virtual box.
Any hints or helpful comments?
Regards,
RR.

One of our CS5 users is having a similar problem when using InDesign. I have deleted the prefrences twice, and it continues to run very slow, or freezes up on her sometimes. She is running Mac OS X 10.6.8, 4 quadpro Xeon 2.9 Ghz, 8 Gb of ram. So i believe she more then meets the Minimum requirements. We believe the problem mainly exist while running InDesign, but for us it is hit or miss. We have ran disk premission cleanup and disk check so we do not believe it is system related.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My last resort is to attempt a reinstall and see if that works.
Thanks for any help.

Retrieve cs6 server serial number?

Is it possible to retrieve the CS6 server license number from an existing CS6 server installation?

I got into the computer today, with the option start, and got in deep enough to start grinding up the trash- it's a 'little guy' with 4.65 and 655 m's available on the server, and 1 G available of 4.55 on the Client. It's running ( Imac G3) on jaguar, and i did get (yesterday) to the fresh opening, allowing new administator!
Now I get to show the boss the mac advantage!
thanks Kurt!

Data merge crash in ID CS6 server (but works in ID CS6 desktop)

I have a strange problem with datamerge solution of InDesign cs6 server.
There is a 20-page indd document and a 50-record csv file to be used along with it.
Creating merged document (using data merge) causes ID CS6 server to crash right after the moment the following line executes:
objDoc.mergeRecords();
However, strangely, for the same template file there is no crash in InDesign desktop counterpart.
I certainly seems that there is some inherent problem with data merge in the InDesign server. All data merge settings are same for both applications.
Even there is no crash if I directly export to PDF as follows:
objDoc.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, outputfile);
So, in summary for the same template file:
objDoc.mergeRecords(); // crash occurs in InDesign server but not in desktop counterpart
objDoc.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(...); // no crash at all
It would be a great help if someone can throw some light on this.

This is two separate issues. The highlighting is a behavior change and not for the better inthe opinion of many, but nothing you can do about it at the moment.
Links, on the other hand, have ALWAYS been absolute, as long as ID can find them in the path stored in the file. Even if you copy a links folder from the server to the local machine, ID is going to ignore it and use the links on the server as long as they are there and you have a connection.

Indesign Server Licensing

I am looking into purchasing a 3rd party product for doing dynamic date publishing using Indesign. The vendor is telling me in order to be complaint with Adobe I need to purchase an Indesign Server license even though the 3rd party application doesnt need it. It will basically sit on the shelf and collect dust. The vendor isnt even looking for us to purchase Indesign Server through, so its not like they are making any money.
Just doesnt make sense on why I would need to purchase it. I have tried calling Adobe sales reps numerous times and either no one knows the answer or I never get called back from the people who are supposed to know the answer.
I figured this was the best board to post this on, not sure if it would be better somewhere else.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I had trouble - the instructions send you down some confusing paths - but I got it working eventually. The "Installation Instructions.pdf" file indicates you need to activate the trial with Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition (APTEE), but sends you to a link that says nothing about APTEE. It turns out you can find APTEE in a download called Adobe Application Manager Enterprise (AAME), which doesn't say much about APTEE, but does install APTEE in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\Enterprise\utilities\APTEE\CS6". You don't actually need to create a distribution package of the product installer with the UI of the installed AAME software as you might be led to believe; in the folder above is a command line tool, for which the "indesign-server-cs6-release-notes.pdf" file provides incorrect command line information regarding how to activate the 90 day trial (spurious spaces at line breaks and in command line options that are supposed to be "--" not "- -"). The actual correct command line I used successfully to activate the trial was "adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Win-GM" .
It really shouldn't have taken that much figuring out (especially since the InDesign Server CS6 installer itself has a UI which suggests you can just choose an option for trial mode). You can only get on the right track by reading and then ignoring the instructions, and searching around for the right download on the Adobe site.

Ok i have indesign CS6 and all files are stored on a 10.7.5 MAC server. This just started happening. When I open a file indesigns is creating a textfile in the same folder? I need some help on this.

Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.
