Is registration of Photoshop unique to a specific computer?
I recently had a failure of my Mac Pro on which I was using Photoshop CS5. I am having the data extracted from the hard drives, including the applications.
Will loading the extracted Photoshop application file into a new Mac Pro's application folder work?
Sorry to hear of your failure.
Regarding your question about restoring the files: No. You're going to need to install it and you're going to need to activate it. If you've used up your allowed two activations, you'll need to call Adobe Customer Support, explain to them that you've recovered from a computer failure, and they'll work their database magic to make it possible for you to activate your software on your new system.
Might not be a bad time to think about upgrading to Photoshop CC, since you're starting afresh. There are some substantial l improvements since Photoshop CS5, especially in the area of raw file conversion. And don't miss the $9.99/month deal.

Problems with my registration of Photoshop CS2
I have owned different versions of Photoshop over the years, and the latest version I have is CS2.
I have it installed on two computers, one running Windows XP and the other running Windows Vista.
Apparently, Adobe has me under two IDs, both using the same email address, but with different physical addresses, my old one and my new one. All my registration information is apparently stored under the one with the old address, but I can only get access to the one with the new address when I go to the Adobe website. That one doesn't see my registrations.
For the past several years I've worked primarily under Linux, using gimp, but I just got a new printer, which is not supported under Linux, so I have to use Windows and Photoshop to print.
Every time I start Photoshop CS2 on the second computer, it tells me I need to register. If I do---needlessly I presume---it accepts the registration, but then the next time I start the program, it does the same thing over again.
I can live with this, but if there is some simple way to fix it, I would like to do so. I've spent a lot of time talking to Adobe on the phone or using chat online, but haven't got any help on this matter.
Also, I hope to make some changes to my system in the near future. First, I will probably upgrade both computers to Windows 7. Second, I may replace one of the computers with a new computer. Finally I may upgrade to Photoshop CS5.
Can anyone give me any advice about how to go about these things so as to end up with two legitamate versions of Photoshop on two computers, and so as to avoid problems.. I am worried that I may have to spend hours on the phone trying to get it done.MTSTUNER's advice is right on in this case. I've seen problems with the older versions of Photoshop not being able to write to their installation areas because of UAC.
If Run As Administrator doesn't work, one additional thing you can try is to turn the UAC level down to the lowest setting, run Photoshop once, then return UAC to its default (or leave it off, your choice).

Hello, I'd like to know about ownership and registration of photoshop cs6
Hello, I'm about to buy a photoshop cs6 retailed version on internet. Frankly, CC version doesn't really fit to me.
I'm not a professional designer, and neither my company isn't any design company. All I need is a simple graphic work at my company.
There isn't any body else in my company who knows and even need to use photoshop besides me.
So I think a retailed copy of photoshop cs6 is perfect. I'm about to buy a brand new retailed version of cs6 and register it under my company name.
That way I may use it as long as I work at the current company.
But I have two questions over ownership and registration of photoshop cs6.
First, Is there any regional restriction? I'm about to buy photoshop on internet. I think either ebay or amazon. I live in Korea, and I don't need
any Korean version of photoshop. So I just wonder if this is legal and doesn't have any problem.
Second, I saw a extended version of phtoshop on internet. The seller said it doesn't have any serial number. It is embeded to the DVD.
I think what he meant is ownership of the program is not based on the serial number but on the DVD itself. The seller said it is un-opened and
without breaking any seal of product. They were sold to a company and never used. But company never used it and want to sell it. I just want to
know if this product is still legal.I can probably say with 99% certainty that if you buy Photoshop on ebay or amazon, especially with what you're describing, it is a pirated copy that will eventually (after 30 days?) stop working and you will have lost your money. Just buy it from Adobe and have peace of mind.

Software Updates Compliance Report for Specific Computer - DatePosted
Hello, I am using the default report to know the Software updates compliance state for a specific computer. The business requirement is to get date the software update has been posted in the same report. So the report should contain columns as follows:
Title
Update Class
Bulletin ID
Date Released/Date Posted
Article ID
Vendor
Approved
Installed
Is Required
Unique Up[date ID
The default report shows up all the columns except the date posted. Please help me with a query with which we can get date released with all the other columns.
Appreciate your help!
ThanksHi,

So I've created a Software Update Group and I did NOT want anything in there dealing with Internet Explorer 11 since the organization is currently stuck at using 10 as the highest. So I made sure that Internet Explorer was NOT in the list and then I deployed
the package.
After running my Overall Compliance report it shows that the systems are compliant, but when I view the "Compliance 5 - Specific Computer" I see that "Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems" is listed in the report.
This is just a testing phase right now and I have not created a WSUS like Domain level GPO. I understand that the SCCM client creates a local policy on the clients for the location of the Software Update Point (Specify
Intranet Microsoft update service location), but the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy is set to Not Configured, which it looks like when this
is set, the "Install updates automatically (recommended)" at 3AM is the default.
Is the reason why the "Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems" update is showing up in the list due to the fact that the "Configure
Automatic Updates" policy is set to Not Configured
and therefore it is still reaching out to check Windows Update online?
So, if I do create a Domain level GPO to Disable the "Configure
Automatic Updates" policy, then the "Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems" update would not show up in the "Compliance 5 - Specific Computer" report?
By the way, I have a Software Update Maintenance Window configured for the hours of 1AM-4AM so the 3AM default time falls within this time frame, therefore, I am assuming the SCCM 2012 client will not allow the Windows Update Agent to install the "Internet
Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems" update, even though it has detected it is "Required".
ThanksBut, don't you need a Deployment Package in order to deploy the Software Update Group? The Software Update Group uses the downloaded updates contained in the Deployment Package located in, wherever the Package Source is, right?
One more quick question that you will know right off hand, because, well, you just will I'm sure.
No. The software update group really has nothing to do with any update packages. The update group assigns updates to clients and in turn clients use update packages to download assign and applicable updates from. There is no connection between the two though
as the client can download an update from any available update package. Thus, it's more than possible to updates in an update package that are not in any update groups and it is also possible for an update to be in an update group without being in any update
package.
If the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy is set to "Not Configured" and since this keeps the 3AM Automatic Updates default, if I was to remove the Software Update Maintenance Window from being between 1AM-4AM, will the WUA agent install updates
at 3AM, or no because the SCCM 2012 client still manages and oversees it and basically blocks that from occurring?
No, ConfigMgr does not in any way block the WUA; however, the WUA can only autonomously install updates it downloads directly from WSUS. Thus, since there are no updates approved or downloaded in your WSUS instance, there's nothing for it to download and
install. If you happen to actually be going into WSUS and approving updates (which you should not be doing as its unsupported), then yes, it actually would install updates -- this is outside of ConfigMgr's control though. Generally, disabling the WUA via a
GPO is the recommended to prevent any accidental installations or reboots (as the WUA wil also check for initiate pending reboots outside of ConfigMgr).

Report for InstallDate of Security Updates on a specific computer
Hello everyone!
There is a way to show the installation date of security updates installed on a specific computer ?
For listing all updates I found in ConfigMgr reports under "Software Updates - A. Compliance" a report: "Compliance 6 - Specific Computer" but the problem is that when is listed in web reports this doesn't contain a column with installation date. I tried
to modify it to add another column, but my knowledge in ms sql is very poor.
Can you help me to modify the code below and add the Install Date column for the security updates?
declare @RscID int;
select @RscID=ResourceID from v_R_System where ((Name0 = @MachineName) and (Active0 = 1));

And maybe you have some link to ms sql tutorials and links to the free sql editing tools.
Another question: Is possible to find when a sccm client comunicate for the first time with the server?(Different from the installation date)
Thanks in advance. Good day!Emilian, not sure if you found an answer to this yet but I think this will give you what you need. LastStatusChangeTime is essentially the InstallDate if the patch was actually installed. If it was never installed, it will give you
the last time the update scan was run.

Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

I have a requirement where I have to give the list of users who can access a specific computer define in AD.
I am new with PS.
Do you have a script to list users that can access a computer object of AD ?
I have executed the following script but it does not give me the access rights of who can access the computer 'computername'
How can i have this information. please help
Import-Module activedirectory
$computer=get-adcomputer "computername" -properties ntSecurityDescriptor
$omputer.ntsecurityDescriptor.Access | select-object -expandproperty IdentityReference | sort-object -uniqueI would say that, since the OP has so little info, there are no policies in use. It there were then this question would never be asked the way it is being asked.
I had a client call with a letter from their insurance company; an accountant with malpractice insurance. THey asked the same question inmuch the same way. "What computer can you users access?" The question should be more like
"Do you have a policy that restricts access to computers and do you audit for compliance?"
I have had other clients whose insurance asked the question in that way. It produces a better view of what should be happening and how to show compliance.
I recommend that companies being asked these questions by their legal departments or insurance companies should contract with a god computer security consultant to assist with answering these very tricky questions. Of course if it is just you boss's
curiosity then you may need to discuss his requirements with him in more depth.
