Is there a way to scan a device/network for the key that's in use? (even if a partial)

We have a way of keeping our installs of acrobat to the same number of actual purchases made, but what we don't have is a good way of making sure that the actual key that was acquired with a PO was actually used on the associated device. Most of this comes from poor management of licenses and lazy technicians that used any key they could find to install the software. So, our reseller provides us a list of all keys that we've purchased as well as the number of volume licenses and such. I would like to know if there is a way I can scan the acrobat-installed devices and compare keys against the list of keys I have been provided. I have about ~100 devices with varying versions ranging from 6 to 11. I'm shooting for having a list of hostnames with their purchased license key and a faster way of creating this list than manually going to each machine.
I want to do this so that I can more easily automate Hardware/OS migrations.  If the product is installed with the wrong key, I want to have it reinstalled on the new hardware/OS with the correct key.  And also just to have better bookkeeping.
Or can I just keep using the volume key for a product version as long as I keep the install count at or under the purchased count?
We use Symantec Management Platform 7.5 for tracking.

Not directly that I am aware.  The product validation in SWTAG files are encoded.  Adobe should be able to decode them but that's still going to be a lot of manual work.

  • Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?

    I have a loop (Modern Guitar Rock 04), which I've extended out so it repeats four times. I select the Fade Tool and X-Fade for drag. I then drag just in front of the loop and onto it, which creates a fade. However, this also creates fades at the beginning of the repeating loops. Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?

    The loop function always repeats the same region so of course the fade is also copied. So option+drag the original region to make a (non clone) copy, fade the first region and loop the second one (which you just copied).

  • I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    Indeed :-)
    This forum is riddled with questions by users that cannot get their computer to do what they want, *despite* the fact they use a very precise and (usually) unambiguous method of telling it want they want it to do -- a programming language. Making it comprehend *natural* language is, by any way of measuring, a number of degrees more difficult.
    That said: in what way would a computer program (advanced or "dumb") be able to help the OP? Spell check is one -- but it's not a *fact* that anything written *badly* equals nonsense. In politics, for example, the most eloquent speakers still manage to make a fool of themselves :D The same goes for "grammar". Of course, bad grammar is more difficult to understand -- EVEN for a human. So a computer is bound to fail on that as well.
    Fact checking then? I usually can't even find what I want in one go with Almighty Google (which seems to turn things around: if it cannot find "enough" web pages with the exact phrase you asked it, it automatically assumes you are interested in synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and other *unrelated* stuff! Yeah THANK you but I want to find what I typed in!)
    A good starting point would be to define in more detail what this hypothetical software *ought* to do -- that needs to be a bit more concrete than "I want it to do my job for me."

  • Is there any way I can get more fonts for the online photoshop?

    I know that this might sound a bit silly since I'm getting the services for free, but I was just curious if there was a way I could get more fonts for the online version. Maybe I'd be better off with the full program. Just curious! (:

    When you say online version, do you mean you are using the Creative Cloud trial?
    Photoshop accesses fonts on your computer, so all you have to do is purchase or download free ones from a fonts website.
    Here is a website with reasonably high quality free fonts: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/.
    Good luck!

  • Is there a way to enable 3D display outside of the software that came with the device?

    Hello, 
    I just bought this device and my primary use for it is the 3D function, but unfortunately there is no option to enable or disable the 3D function outside the set of software that came with it. For example in Cyberlink Power DVD 3D works fine, TriDef software creates depth from games but that is not actually what I need. I need just to have an image or a sequence in standar over-under or side-by-side formats and to enable the 3D effect on the display. 
    Some third party software, Stereoscopic player for example recognizes the monitor fine and displays the 3D content normally. But what I need is to display a full screen image from After Effects so I could have a live preview of the 3D, is there a way to somehow engage the 3D mode by some utility or driver?

    MHetlerovic, welcome to the forum.
    I read the manual thoroughly and it doesn't appear that there is any way to access the 3D mode without using some type of program.

  • Is there a way to create a loopback adapter for the mac?

    In the MS world, there is a MS Loopback adapter, that allows to create a virtual network card and simulates that there is a LAN cable connected to it.
    I would like to see if there is a way to do that in the mac world.
    I found this link and I believe is a hint, but I'm not sure if is going to work, I don't want to try it and damage my network settings.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Is there a way to upload a dictionary generated for the XOS Dictionary App to the hidden dictionary app of iPad or iPhone, respectively?

    Dear All,
    I started to generate on my MacBook, with the Tools provided with XCode 5, to generate a dictionary for the Dictionary App which runs fine on my Max OSX machines. Now I wonder if there is a way to upload the dictionary to the hidden dictionary app of iOS to use the dictionary on iPad and iPhone via the "define"-option of highlighted words. All of curse under the assumption both applications use the same dictionary formate, what I guess since both outputs look very similar. The hidden app of iOS downloads dictionaries somehow from iCloud as the cloud symbol suggests. But does anyone know how to upload dictionaries to there e.g. from a MacBook to be able to download it subsequently with iPad or iPhone in the "manage"-Mode of the hidden dictionary app?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
    Juergen

    SOLVED!!!!!
    This is the app:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dictionary.appender/id650562573?mt=8
    I emailed the maker of the app and he said to just follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    File share the .dictionary file to your ipad and then add it from the list of addable languages.  It took a minute for it to show up on my ipad but it DID work.  It is working with iBooks. 
    Happy reading.
    Thanks for the help and suggestions.

  • Is there a way to create a commentary file for the summary screen?

    I am not seeing the summary screen in the list of commentary files in the \Development\include\commentary\en-CA\screen path. Is there a way to create a commentary for the summary screen?
    Thanks all.

    thanks Kristy,
    I'm not sure of the best way to add any requests we have for future releases.
    If there is one, let me know what is best.
    Here is what I want to add.
    In the properties file, one can set decision report preferences for an attribute - for invisible and silent.
    I wish we could also set preferences for bold, and given that, I guess it makes sense to be able to set preferences for italic and underline
    While these can be addressed through custom properties and XSLT, it obviously would be easier for the modeler to be able to select the attribute enhancement in the properties file. Given that decision reports can get very long, and there are attributes which might be better highlighted in some way, this would be a great approach.

  • Is there a way to have a search form for the CRM database?

    I know there is a search form provided for the Web Apps. I can't seem to find how to create a search form for the CRM database. I have created a membership site, and also extended the CRM database with additional fields. I would like the users to be able to search on selected fields in the CRM database including the extended database fields. For example, I have a field called membership type in the extended database. I would like to be able to search on that in a search form. Is that possible?
    Thanks

    Sidney,
    Your input is very helpful to put me on the track to find a workaround. As I tried using Web App approach, I get into a road block that hopefully you can help throw some light on.
    This my scenerio: I created a Web App for holding the profile fields (called it Profile). I created a Page to display the Customer record (Names, usernames, email, etc, and I would also want to display the fields from the Profile Web App. I am at lost how to do that. Seems like I can only insert the web item list in that page but I actually want to display the Detall Layout instead of the List layout. To display the Detail Layout, I need to first manually choose the item before it will direct me to the Detail layout. I am trying to find a way to do this automatically based on the fact I have only one Profile web app item for each customer.
    The question is whether there is a way to pull up a specific Profile web app item based on the customer's id or something that link the two together, using javascript or whatever method. Is there a tag to gives me the customer record id? If I can get that id, I could insert that id into one of the fields in the Profile Web App during creation of profile. Perhaps I can then pull up the profile item based on this id.
    Thanks for all the help

  • Is there a way to scan a Mac OS for viruses and spyware?

    I've browsed some sites that I suspect might have given me some spyware or possibly viruses. I'm not sure because I don't have any effects on my mac (such as slowness, etc), but I would like to scan the computer if I could.

    Wave your hands over the computer and say "I command all viruses to announce their presence!" If nobody speaks up, you don't have any viruses.
    On a more serious note, there currently are no viruses or spyware for Macs. There are a few Trojan horses, programs which trick you into downloading them and installing them. Fortunately, they're fairly easy to avoid if you're not doing dumb stuff, like downloading "video plug-ins" from p0rn sites and installing them, or downloading a "free" version of Microsoft Office.
    Chris suggested clamXav, but note that while its Windows virus definitions are up-to-date, it is currently unable to identify any of the Mac Trojans.

  • Is there a way to set two different settings for the backlight?

    I was wondering if there is a way for me to set the backlight to always on when watching videos on my 5G 30 gig iPod and off when doing anything else?
    Or do I have to manually go in and change the setting everytime?

    The backlight will always be on when watching videos. This is automatic, regardless of the setting.

  • Is there a way to up forward a suggestion for the next software update?

    I had my iphone stolen the other night and I was just wondering if we can put forward a suggestion towards the next software update.
    I've been thinking that you should only be able to turn the phone off if the phone is unlocked (if there is a passcode lock then you should have to enter this before being able to turn the phone off)
    If a phone is stolen the first thing people do is turn the phone off, but if this isn't so easy to do then people may still be able to find their phone using the find my iphone app which can only be used when phone is on
    Hop someone can help, thanks
