Is Akamai NetSession Client safe?

I just downloaded photoshop elements 12 bundle and when downloading it gave me the choice of using Akamai NetSession Client or other, so I used Akamai.  After installation of photoshop elements, no problem.  After installation of premiere elements, a notice came up from Window Security Alert advising a firewall has blocked features of the program.  Is Akamai NetSession safe?

If you downloaded Akamai from Adobe website then it is completely safe. 
Akamai is basically a download manager that allows users on slow
connection to download big files slowly and in steps without worrying
about corruption.
Now this is the theory behind Akamai but some people have complained
that their download is corrupted.  The days of Akamai are almost
numbered now that people have fast broadband connection and browsers like
firefox and Internet Explorer have better system to deal with large
files. Downloading a 1.5 GB file takes less than 20 minutes.

  • Unable to download Enterprise Preview with Akamai Download Client

    Hi,
    I am unable to download the Enterprise Preview (x64) British English with the Akamai client. I keep getting "Cannt save in this location, please try another".
    I have verified the usual stuff. User rights, folder redirection. I even created a Temp folder on the C drive, verified that there was enough space and that Everyone had Full access rights to it, but no luck.
    The OS I am running is Windows 8.1 in an Enterprise Environment. I have successfully downloaded software with Akamai before, but it keeps failing on Microsoft stuff.
    Can someone please provide me with direct download links for the ISO of the latest technical preview of Windows 10 with English GB language, clean install?

    Figures. I searched for hours yesterday without luck, and lo and behold, today it pops up:
    http://care.dlservice.microsoft.com/dl/download/2/4/1/241BC554-B5F7-4E72-9115-DC069F1139F6/NovFlightDLC/9879.0.141103-1722.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_en-gb.ISO
    If you have this issue but need the 32bit or the US version, change gb to us for languages and x64 to x86 for 32bit.

    Please help me with this problem. I just purchased an upgrade for CS6 and I can't even download the software that allows me to download the actually Adobe products.

  • I downloaded Adobe_Acrobat_X_Pro-AkamaiDLM assuming it was a trial of Acrobat X.

    I downloaded Adobe_Acrobat_X_Pro-AkamaiDLM assuming it was a trial of Acrobat X. It was the Akamai Netsession Client. Has anyone else experienced this? Can I still have a chance to preview Acrobat X?

    Why not just go to the Adobe site and download the trial version of AAX and give it a trial. I have no idea what you did download and would probably recommend uninstalling that first.

    I can't seem to find the akamai file in any of my directories. I have read forums that suggest I download it again and then do a force uninstall from terminal but I can't seem to find the akamai download file. Does anyone have any suggestion for this?
    Thanks

    Macintosh Uninstall
    The simplest and preferred method is to use the Finder to go to the NetSession Interface installation folder, which is normally /Applications/Akamai/, then double-click the uninstaller app. Confirm your decision.
    Macintosh Alternative Uninstall
    Go to the command line of your computer. In the Application -> Utilities folder, double-left click Terminal.
    Go to the Akamai NetSession Interface installation folder, which is normally /Applications/Akamai/
    Type the command
    AdminTool uninstall -force
    Press the Enter (Return) key to complete the command.
    Alternative Method Using Launch Unload
    This alternative method may be used, for example, if you deleted AdminTool without running the AdminTool uninstall steps described just above. This uninstall involves required steps of manually stopping the client, then removing the installation directory, the automatic startup script, and the preferences panel.
    Go to the command line of your computer. In the Application -> Utilities folder, double-left click Terminal.
    Go to the Akamai NetSession Interface installation folder, which is normally /Applications/Akamai/.
    Type the following lines, and after typing each line, press the Enter (Return) key to complete the command:
    launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.akamai.client.plist
    rm -rf /Applications/Akamai
    rm -rf ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.akamai.client.plist
    rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/AkamaiNetSession.prefPane
    If the NetSession client isn't stopped when you have gone through these steps, restart your computer to complete the operation.
