IPS license web site

The License on my IPS is going to expire on Jun 30. Last year I went to a web site on Cisco's site, filled out a form, then received the license (.lic) file by email. I am unable to find this site again. Does anyone know where it is?
Thanks

  • Not authorized user of licensing web site

    I am getting a message form the LSW that I am not an authorized user of the website. The CS6 design and web premium educational package was purchased for me through our accounting department via a 3rd party (SHI International) who gave me download instructions, the first step of which is to log into the LSW

    Charlesd74880152 please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care so assistance can be offered to locate an account which does have access to the account.  Please make sure to have all details regarding the purchaser and any order information available.
    In the future I would recommend making purchases from Adobe directly or authorized resellers.  If the organization you purchased from is an authorized reseller then I would recommend also contacting them directly as they may have the additional information you need to obtain your serial number.

    I dont recall when I have been more frustrated....  the "loops" I am in on the web for support are endless.  After downloading Yosemite on my Mac my CS6 no longer works.  On your support web site you state the following for downloading and installing previous versions of apps, such as CS6 " 1. open CC for desktop and go to the apps panel (no link is provided so I explored until I could download a trial version of "application manager" as that was required.  When I attempted to open it to download "Previous Versions" I could not.  I have my license number, my CS6 will not open in Yosemite and after over 2 hours I am really frustrated....  Rich@

    When I go to that link, download and then attempt to install I get the message "Webe encountered the following issues, Installer failed to initialize.  Please down load Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem"  I then select the link "get adobe support advisor" that takes me to a site that describes a better support link since the one I have been sent to is no longer available.  I then go to that site and am told to go to CC for desktop apps, that requires me to download CC...  I don't want CC.. just want to have my CS6 PS work again....  so frustrating...

  • Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

    Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
    Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
    I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:

  • Incompatible web sites, playing wmv video on mac

    I am an expert pc user switching to mac...
    I realized when I made the switch that they would be software that worked with PC that would not work with MAC. What has really surprised me, is there seems to be many web sites that will not work with MAC and its browsers.
    This started with a conversation with apple support, where they indicated there were incompatible web sites.
    My business bank stops you cold and says you have to use IE; you can ignore it and move on and it seems to work ok.
    The Walgreen pharmacy web site has a drug cost calculator that also says you must use IE, and you cannot move on.
    What really concerns me are the ones that give you no warning, but just don't work. If you go to
    http://www.dotnetnuke.com/default.aspx?tabid=777
    under the title of Video introduction:
    Mac Firefox - nothing displays for the video player
    Mac Safari - the video player displays, but the video will not play.
    PC IE - everything works as expected.
    The video format is wmv, which is an industry standard. I installed flip4mac, which is supposed to allow you to view wmv in quicktime, but it did work. Even after downloading the video (a link), I could not watch in on the mac. I had to go to a PC.
    This type of silliness is exactly why I am running from a PC. Now I am finding it prevalent on the mac.
    Question 1) specific to the wmv file format, how do you get it to run on mac?
    Question 2) is this just the way it is? You cannot depend on web applications working at all with mac?
    thanks!
    bob

    Hi Bob,
    Ok, I'll bite
    Apple has to understand that we don't care about who is at fault for web sites not working with Mac
    The WebKit team are more than aware of that fact, and where possible they work with popular websites to get them to correct their websites or add specific 'kludges' into the WebKit code to specifically support these sites.
    Apple has the ability to have an IE mode in safari to handle these situations, but hey choose not to
    I've not heard that before. Can you quote a source?
    If it takes IE compatibility mode to handle all web sites, then just do it.
    That of course costs money. And then there's the prospect of Apple having to license Microsoft's DRM solution to provide 100% compatibility with Windows Media files. As we all know, Apple like good P.R. as much as the next company and handing something like that to Microsoft is never going to happen.
    Microsoft clearly won't provide updated WMP technology for OS X as it gives them nothing, other than the extra impetus for people to switch away from Windows.
    So we're stuck with essentially badgering the broken sites to fix things, or going somewhere else (and spending our $$$ there if needed).
    The bar for a college student is much lower
    True, but today's college student is tomorrow's business person and Apple products are very popular with college students these days. Apple are in this for the long term. Things will change, but we have to live in the real world and know this isn't going to happen soon.
    The truth of the matter is that the sooner Microsoft get on board with being a responsible web-citizen then the better it will be for everyone (and by everyone I don't just mean Apple users, but anyone connected to the internet).
    Almost [1 in 3 browsers on the web are not Internet Explorer|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usageshare_of_webbrowsers] - that's a huge number and businesses on the web need to be aware of this.
    Please please please do not get me wrong - I would love it if Safari (or Firefox, or Opera, or Chrome, or ...) could handle every site that IE does but it's never, ever going to happen.
    Cheers,
    Ben

  • Standard Edition - Single Web Site/Application?

    Hi,
    I hope I am posting at the right section of the forum...
    I'm considering using Coldfusion for our company intranet.
    However, reading the difference editions availabe, I notice that
    the standard edition is only allowed for "a single web site/single
    application."
    So what is Adobe's definition of "an application?" If our
    "application" provides many functions to different departments of
    the company, does it count as one application or multiple
    applications?
    Thanks in advance for any answers, comments or suggestions.

    There as always been some confusion one the term
    'Application'. When
    talking ColdFusion editions, it is ColdFusion itself that is
    the
    application. With Standard you can have one ColdFusion
    application
    installed on a given box up to 2 cpu's per license. With
    Enterprise you
    can have as many ColdFusion applications as you feel
    comfortable loading
    onto a given box, again up to 2 cpu's per license.
    Each of these ColdFusion applications whether Standard or
    Enterprise can
    have as many web sites as you care to load it down with
    connected to it.

    I know you have very little time :-) but it would be usefull to know
    1. Feature matrix for Standard and Enterprise editions and how add on
    products fit in. Would be great to have a "Professional" version somewhere
    between Standard and Enterprise.
    2. I am not sure I understand what $500 maintenance gives us. Above you
    state that all owners of 2.2.2 license are entitlet for 2.2.x bug fixes,
    patches etc. (which is fine I would expect product to be bugfixed and
    maintained until a new major version is out).
    Then you say Maintenance ($500) includes all bug fixes / patches and minor

    oes 2.X.x represent major release? I think you also need to tell people what

    If one purchased a maintenance plan I would expect to receive next major
    release (you need to plan your release cycle) so people can budget in
    maintenence cost and pay $500 a year for example to have latest and greates
    version of Kodo
    3. Is maintenence fee the same for Standard and Enterprise? It does not
    really make sense as the price of maintenence is almost the same as new
    Standard license and probably higher than license upgrade cost
    4. What about license upgrade cost?
    Bottom line need more info :-)

    David and group,
    The answer to this really depends on what happens with the specification,
    when it will be released, and how different the specification will be
    compared to the current version of the specification (0.95). There are a
    number of things that we are waiting for from the specification team
    including a final version of the specification and the test suite. There is
    simply too much uncertainty around the specification to give you a
    definitive answer. I assure you that when the specification is finalized,
    we will recognize our current customer base in some manner.

    Hi Neelan,
    As you know, JDO 1.0 is not yet released. When it is released, I'msure that SolarMetric will
    upgrade Kodo to support any changes between the final version of 1.0 andthe current PFD 1 that Kodo
    is based on. Will this upgrade, indeed will all versions of Kodo based onJDO 1.0, be 2.2.x
    versions or is it possible, or likely, that the follow-on JDO 1.0compatible versions will be a
    higher level rev?

    I wanted to clarify one bit about one of your questions (Number 2).
    Purchasing a license gets you all the bug fixes and patches associated
    with
    the release. Say you purchase Kodo JDO Standard Edition 2.2.2 but donot
    purchase the Support and Maintenance Contract. In that case, you willget
    30 days of free Email Support. In addition, you will also get all bugfixes
    and patches associated with the 2.2 release (all 2.2.x releases) e.g.,
    2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, etc., but not 2.3.0.
    If you choose to purchase the annual contract you get the same EmailSupport
    for 1 year. In addition, you will get all minor releases as well as bug
    fixes and patches associated with the 2. release (all 2.x.x releases)e.g.,
    the bug fix releases for 2.2 (2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5) as well as any minor
    upgrades related to release 2 (e.g., 2.3.0, 2.3.1, 2.4.0), but not3.0.0.

  • I can't open any Danish web sites - PLEASE HELP !!

    It's very weird, since yesterday haven't been able to open any Danish web sites.
    As soon as it ends with .dk it won't open the page. And seeing that my web site ends with .dk I can't get my personal e-mail to my mail program either.
    This is not only Firefox. It's all my browsers.
    I'm on an iBook G3.
    I cleared cashes - cookies etc. Nothing's working. And I've been able to open all the websites from other computers, so the problem must be coming from mine.
    PLEASE HELP !!

    I'm definately no network specialist, just heared an emergency call ..
    my guess, try...:
    system prefs/network...
    select your network settings, click on "TCP/IP" ...
    paste into DNS Server (any or all...)
    213.191.74.19
    213.191.92.87
    131.234.39.10
    131.234.39.11
    131.234.137.23
    131.234.137.24
    195.8.224.1
    195.8.224.1
    these are some German DNS servers, which allow (me...) to access any, even Danish websites ...
    I'm pretty sure, there're lots of Danish DNS Server, which works faster/more reliable, but just give it a try, how it works...........
    unfortunately, I don't have the IPs of any danish DNS... as said, me no specialist, I just know, "these works"

  • Is there something on the iMac that will slow down access to parts of a web site?

    Hi,
    I have a dedicated server with a few web sites that I manage. All of the sites but one are instantly access. The one site in question, we can get instant access all parts except one folder (a public folder located in root).  Friends around the world can access this folder instantly (1-2 secs). Friends down the road from us on another IPS can access instantly. Even my ISP can access this folder instantly.  For me on my iMac desktop OSX 10.5.6 , it takes anywhere from 15-30 secs to access the folder or pages within. My wife's macbook OSX10.5.6 takes 30-90 secs (and sometimes times out). This only started being an occasional  problem about 2-3 weeks ago. Now its all the time.
    So my question is, is there something in OSX that can cause a restriction?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    For a test, turn off IPv6:
    System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
    Or whatever interface you connect with.

  • HOW TO: product Catalog web site---managing prices

    Hi all, I'm developing a product catalog web site for a customer and I'm not sure what's the best way to manage the prices, I mean as I'll be using decimals (g.e: 1200,90€) and allow the user to add products, several units of a products, get a disccount, etc...and as far as I know I can't create double fields in UCM to manage these figures, Shoud I use a string field and manage the operations at the web application layer?

    Hi,
    If the IPS is dropping the connections, you should see events corresponding to it. Let's try the following. Create an access-list of the following format assuming the IP of "warez-bb.org" is 1.1.1.1 (found out using "nslookup").
    access-list ips permit ip any host 1.1.1.1
    class-map IPS
      match access-list ips
    policy-map global_policy
       class IPS
          ips inline fail-open
    service-policy global_policy global
    By doing the above, we are just passing traffic destined to the site "www.warez-bb.org" thorugh the IPS. After you have done th above, please try accessing the site again and now whatever events you see on the IPS should be related to this one. Hope this helps.

              Astroload of Mercury-Interactive is very nice. But you only get 10-user license
              for 7-day evaluation.

    Hi,
    Try to download from a difference machine and/or using a different browser.
    For large downloads, or for functionality such as download resuming, the use of a download manager is highly recommended.

  • IPS license for SA540 gateway

    Hi
    We have just purchased a license L-PL-GW-100MAX-3= ProtectLink Gateway: Unlimited Web + 100 Max Email Seats,3YR
    I found that it does not include IPS license. I cannot find anywhere where I can purchase an IPS license for SA540 gateway. It seems to be available only as a bundled product when purchasing the hardware. Can anyone help please?
    Cheers

  • Do I need Bea Weblogic Portal for simple web site ?

    I have a decision making situation here to use or not to use Bea Weblogic portal 8.1 for my web application along with struts.
    Situation : Application has service( batch process with client applications, hand held devices ) and web ( browser based interaction ) oriented architecture. Data flows into centralized system and this data being diagnosed for analysis and displayed on web ( text and as graphical charts ).
    I do not see much content management required like Yahoo, but have lots of configurable dynamic presentation . ( dynamic page views DHTML, graphical charts etc,�.).
    Question : Is Bea Weblogic Portal 8.1 of any use in this situation ?
    Thanks in advance.

    First let me thank you("duffymo") for your interest in responding to this post.You're most welcome.
    I am in elementary at BEA WLP, trying to understand and use it for the first time.
    I am analysing at very high level view of architecture.Thinking before doing is an excellent idea. I commend you for exploring it before plunging in.
    Struts brings the frame work for web application that controls flow and model.
    Seems to be WLP brings the personalization to the web site.I think that's correct. Struts is a JSP/servlet-based Web presentation framework that helps you maintain MVC separation using a Model-2 scheme. (Google for unfamiliar terms.)
    Bringing WLP in to the picture makes any sense.I agree if you meant "does not make any sense". You don't need a portal, based on your earlier description. Roles might be in play here. You'll have one for each of the three scenarios that you described in your earlier response.
    You'll NEVER have a situation where someone will have the client and admin views visible at the same time. It sounds like your three roles are mutually exclusive. In that case a portal isn't necessary.
    Do they;( Bea WLP, Struts ) go hand in hand in the same architecture. Can I achieve the same by just
    using struts with out WLP.You can certainly use Struts with BEA's WebLogic. That's a J2EE app server, which has a servlet/JSP engine built in. Maybe that's the confusion here. Is your client insisting that you use WebLogic or the Portal product? They work together. I don't believe you can use the Portal product without WebLogic, but you can use WebLogic without the Portal. Clarify that point with your customer. Maybe they're just asking that you deploy on WebLogic. THAT is quite sensible.
    You need to ask your customer another question: do they already have a license for WebLogic and Portal, and is the software installed and running, or are they planning to buy one for the sake of this project? If they want to spend the money and give you a chance to learn WebLogic by all means let them, but know that there are other, free alternatives. (e.g., Tomcat, JBoss, etc.)
    Here's one for you: how familiar are you with J2EE? Have you done any projects with EJBs? Will this project require them? How well do you know Struts/servlets/JSPs/JSTL, or will this be your first time with them, too?
    I would like to learn WLP feature, but trying to save money for my client by not using too many
    technologies.I agree. It's something you can add on later if you need it. Best to get the base application up and running first.
