License Adobe before or after creating user accounts?

Aloha all!
I've just purchased 25 device licenses for CC.  They are going to be used in, you guessed it, as 25 seat lab (Macs).  However, each machine has multiple user accounts.  Will it be less of a headache if I license adobe on an administrative account before setting up the other user accounts, or am I going to end up having to license it for each account regardless?
In the event I have to license it for each account, could I shortcut the process by doing that on one machine, then using Migration Assistant to copy the accounts to other machines?
I expect that I'll have to physically sit at each machine in turn, logging into and out of user accounts, and authorizing each time.  And I further expect that Adobe will force me to do this several times a year.  Boy, would I be thrilled to be wrong!
mahalo!

You cannot use the migration assistant due to the specifics of the activation system. For the rest you may want to have a look at the Enterprise Deployment Guides and CC for Teams help files... The licensing is per user, not per machine, so all that matters is the Adobe ID provided on sign in regardless of who the actual user is as a real person.

  • Suspect Adobe ARM creating user account

    Hello
    I was helping a user with a problem about 2 days ago. The problem is that everytime Windows reboots the netbook shows a newly created User Account called icsokern.
    The user has a Samsung netbook, Windows 7 Starter & Service Pack 1 as well as ESET AV.
    Trying to delete the account doesn't make any difference as the account is recreated after a reboot. However, securing the account I put in a password as well as changed the login time access to 0. When I try to change the applications that the user account can access I see only Adobe ARM as ticked. No other application is ticked. This leads me to believe that Adobe ARM could be creating this account, but there is no logical explanation why?
    Checking for a malware reveals no alerts. No quarantined files and Windows' Event Viewer shows no alerts regarding system or application errors.
    Having said the above I decided to ask on the Adobe forum to see if anyone else has had this experience and if so what did they do to fix this?
    w

    Latest Adobe ARM installs task in the Windows Task Scheduler.
    If you see this task, can you try to disable it and check if new User account gets created?
    If new account no longer created after task is disabled, you can conclude that Task Scheduler does it for some reason, which will need to be investigated.

  • Creating user accounts with OIDDAS and use them from the OS

    Hi,
    I have a customer that is experiencing an error creating user accounts from OIDDAS, and use that user accounts from the operating system.
    My customer is using OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.2.0, and that version is not longer available to download, then, I will try in my own environment
    with OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.3.0.
    And the question is the following: is supported to create user accounts with OIDDAS and expect that users can work with OAS4OS and be
    able to authenticate in the operating system?

    Hi Jacco,
    I didn't see your post before.
    Nop, unfortulately I don't have a document with that. I just received that answer
    from development (related to the plugin for AD that is not certified, and DAS is
    not intended to work with OAS4OS).
    Anyway, about the plugin to work with AD, this is working for me; at least I tested
    it by configuring the plugin, I configured synchronization, the mapping file, I did
    the bootstrap, and the accounts that were bootstraped now shows the OS attributes
    on DAS.

  • Creating User Accounts So I Can Set Parental Controls?

    My nine year old son loves to use YouTube to watch video game videos and apparently there are NO parental controls or any kind of filters on YouTube. The majority of the ones he finds are ok but there's about 15% that are just plain shocking even to me. Its pretty sad the things that people put up there. I hate to have him never be able to get online again so I want to set some sort of filter where I can block content according to keyword but I just cant figure it out at all. So I tried to set controls over the whole MacBook but it tells me that as administrator I cannot. I cant figure out how to create non-admin users though. Searched all the forums and guides, etc. but no answer.
    Thanks, so in summary, I just want to know how to create user accounts if thats the right term.
    I am using a MacBook, running Mac OSX version 10.4.11.

    Hi
    Apple menu (top left hand corner) > System Preferences > Accounts. Click the lock to authenticate. Just above the lock are two icons; a 'plus' and 'minus'. Click the 'plus' icon. Enter the name of your son, tab down into the next field and that should autofill for you with the information you placed in the name field; tab down again and enter a password; tab again to key in the password again; don't tick the box that says "allow user to administer this computer"; click 'Create Account'. You should be prompted with a window asking if you want to leave automatic login on or if you want to turn it off - turn it off. You'll see why later on. What you should see after this has finished is in the left hand window at the top your account details with your name and underneath it should 'Admin' and below your account details will be your son's. Underneath his name it should say 'Standard'.
    Click on his name to select it and now click on the Parental Controls tab on the right hand side of that window. You should now have the option to enable and configure control for the 5 applications listed there: Mail, Finder & System, iChat, Safari and Dictionary. Explore and configure to your hearts content from there. When you are happy quit out of System Preferences and select Log out from the Apple Menu. You should now be presented with the Login Window displaying not only your account but also the newly created one for your son. Log in s your son and test to see if what you've set as a control has worked. Keep going backwards and forwards between the two accounts until you are happy.
    Bear in mind there is only so much you can do.
    It's virtually impossible to block everything potentially morally harmful without basically stopping your son from having any access at all. You could look at supplementing Parental Controls with the built-in filters in your router - if you have one? If you don't then consider getting one. I'm struggling to think of a router for residential use that does not have some sort of built-in web filter?
    The tab button is the key immediately to the left of the 'Q' key. It will have an arrow going from left to right printed on it.

  • Create user account in Child Domain

    Dear all.
    Kindly, i have Forest contain two domain Root domain, child domain.

    i want to stop this. i want the IT Department there create users for there domain only?
    thanks

    Hi Ashraf,
    Your query is not clear. Do you want to restrict enterprise administrators from creating user accounts in child domain?
    By default, Enterprise Admins group is part of Builtin Administrators group in the child domain.
    When child domain is introduced, by default Enterprise Admins group is added to Child Domain\Administrators group (Builtin local Security group).

  • Access Denied creating user accounts through vba

    Hello,
    I have a MS-Access application that runs on a Windows 2012 server. My customer logs into the server using RDP. The MS-Access application is started up automatically by means of the environment variable in the user settings. The customer needs to be able
    to create new windows users for this application, simply by clicking a button.  
    The VBA script to create users works, because when I start up the MS-Access application with my own logged on Administrators account, the new users get created. If my customer tries it, he gets 'Access Denied' error. I have added his user account to
    the Power Users group, but that did not solve the problem. I also tried to make him member of the DCOM Users Group, the 'Access Denied' error remains...
    I do not want to give him administrator priviliges, because he is 'just a customer'...
    What do I need to do for this setup to work? I tried altering some DCom settings, but frankly I do not have enough knowledge to feel comfortable with this. Hope anybody can help me out here...
    best regards, Rob

    Is this a standalone server? Only administrators can create user accounts, so there is no work around for that. You could look at something that has the administrator account/password stored and launch PSEXEC or something else in an elevated session behind
    the scenes but that is a security volunerability because the credentials are stored.
    If the account is being created in an Active Directory environment you could delegate permissions to the appropriate OU for your customer.

  • What do you use to create user accounts?

    I have used Passenger to create my school's user accounts in the past. Since upgrading to Mavericks Server 3 I can't import the user accounts from Passenger. Does anyone know of a program that will create user accounts for 10.9?

  • Amanda; And creating user accounts BEFORE the build process

    I am trying to make a package for amanda (Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) http://www.amanda.org.
    I have gotten everything to run fine, but the way the devs have set up their configure file (and the resulting build process),
    I HAVE to specify a user account that the program will run as. If I do not specify (and create an account) the PKGBUILD will not run. Is this normal?
    Is there a way to make the PKGBUILD create an account and a group? This account and group are need both DURING the build and during the install.
    It has to be a pre-existing user account.  Here is my PKGBUILD script:
    pkgname=amanda
    pkgver=2.6.0p1
    pkgrel=1
    pkgdesc="The Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver"
    url="http://www.amanda.org/"
    license=('BSD')
    depends=("glibc")
    #If you need amplot and/or samba support (for backing up windows clients) delete the line above and uncomment the line below this line
    #depends=("glibc" "samba" "gnuplot")
    install=(amanda.install)
    arch=('x86_64' 'i686')
    source=(

    cd $startdir/src/amanda-2.6.0p1
    # These config options are documented at:
    # http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Installation/Installing_Amanda_Source

    --with-group=backup \
    --prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr/local \
    --with-amperldir=$startdir/pkg/usr/local/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0
    make || return 1
    make install prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr/local
    I would really appreciate some help (this is my first pkg)
    Also remember; this will not finish building without creating a user and a group
    #groupadd backup
    #useradd -g backup amanda

    I didn't take it any farther than the first post. I became frustrated with the chicken/egg relationship with account/makepkg.
    The package works (as long as the user accounts are created first) if you can figure out a way around this issue feel free to update the pkg (then upload it to AUR).
    The nobody/nobody idea didn't work for me, I cannot remember the reason why. It had something to do with permissions. Let me know if you need any help.

  • Can't Create User Account

    I'm using 10.5.8, logged in as an Admin, and can't create a specific new user account. The system had this account on it previously, but the account was deleted by another Admin. I'm trying to recreate the account, but it's not working. If the home folder isn't there, OS X does create it, but doesn't add the user to the list of users. Logging out and attempting to login with the account does not work. I can create other accounts, but not recreate the one that was deleted - regardless of which Admin account I'm logged in as. Any suggestions?

    Have you run the disk utility program? Press "commandshiftu" to open up the Utilities window and run the disk utility and the directory utility. Also, if you have a copy of "Disk Warrior" sitting around trying running that.
    Also, check under Computername/users/deleted users, if your username shows up in that file, or on that path, please trash (back them up if you need them) said files, and empty your trash while holding down the "alt/Option" key.
    It may be that parts or all of the user account are still intact, try logging in via the "Terminal" application, press "commandshiftu" to open up the Utilities window then open the program "Terminal"
    Type "login USERNAME" where "USERNAME" is the name of the user account.
    You will be prompted for a password, enter your password for the account.
    If the password is wrong, or the username does not exist, an error message, "Login incorrect" will print on the terminal.
    If you log in correctly, the username displayed will change to said username. If that happens, you need to remove the user account before recreating said account, follow instructions below to remove and recreate said account.
    If you have your install disk, boot from that and change the password for "root" to something you know, write this down. Boot as normal and open the application called "Terminal"
    Type "login root" then enter your root password,
    first try removing the user account you are trying to create type "rmuser USERNAME" where "USERNAME" is the name of the user account you are trying to create.
    Then use the "adduser" command to add the user account you want to make, type "adduser USERNAME" where "USERNAME" is the name of the user account you want to create, then type "passwd USERNAME PASSWORD" where "USERNAME" is the name of the user account you want to create and "PASSWORD" is the password you want linked to that user account. After you finish all of that, type "logout" and then quit the program.
    Try to login to your new user account.
    If you get any error messages please post.

  • Creating user accounts through ARD3 on client machines

    Hello. I am trying to create a secondary local admin account on some machines that are running ARD3/OS X 10.4.8. Right now, I am using only one machine as a test before attempting this on the several hundred machines I need to do this on.
    I used this old thread as a reference:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1112351&#1112351
    Using these instructions, I am able to connect to the ARD client machines and send them the UNIX commands as root. Here are the commands I am using in order:
    echo 'admin2::512:512::0:0:admin2:/Users/admin2:/bin/bash' | niload -v passwd /
    echo 'admin2:*:512:admin2' | niload -v group /
    niutil -appendprop / /groups/admin users admin2
    Using these commands, I can successfully create a user account named "admin2", with no password, create a group named admin2, and also make user admin2 a member of the admin group.
    The problem I am having is using the passwd command through ARD. The passwd username command requires you to type the password in twice and you get the following output:
    New password:
    Changing password for admin2.
    Password unchanged.
    I have also attempted to add the password in the first command that is sent in Field 2, like so:
    echo 'admin2:password:512:512::0:0:admin2:/Users/admin2:/bin/bash' | niload -v passwd /
    However, when I try to login, it will not let me login using the pasword I specified the above command. The only way this works is if I execute the passwd command.
    Is there any way in ARD that I can change a user password on another machine -or- is there a syntax for the passwd command that I can use to change the password without entering it twice?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would email the author of the solution "shayaan", but an email address is not listed and the original thread is locked.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Create User Account Using Terminal in OSX 10.9.5

    I am working on creating a shell script to create a specific user on all Mac computers at work. I have run the following commands in Terminal with no luck:
    dscl . create /Users/myuser
    dscl . create /Users/myuser RealName "My User"
    dscl . passwd /Users/myuser UsersPW
    dscl . create /Users/myuser UniqueID 561
    dscl . create /Users/myuser PrimaryGroupID 1000
    dscl . create /Users/myuser NFSHomeDirectory /Users/administrator
    dscl . create /Users/myuser UserShell /bin/bash
    dscl . append /Groups/admin GroupMembership administrator
    I have seen in the discussions that running these commands has enabled some to log in using the user account they created - they just can't see the user account in the Users list in Sys Prefs. I can't see my user account, log into my computer with it, or see a user folder at /Users/myuser. I AM able to see the user after running the dscl command and cd Local/Users/myuser - but with an ls that directory is empty. What am I missing?
    In terminal I am using the root user. I've tried logging in with sudo su and sudo -s. All commands run, but no account is created.
    If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't really understand your reply, but since asking my question I realized that if, rather than choose 'New Image' inside the Disk Utility window, I use the menu bar at the top of the screen, and select File > New > Blank Disk Image,  then I get the choices I hoped for. It's all in looking in the right place, I guess, but I do wonder why those choices are not available when you choose 'New Image' within the Disk Utility window. Oh well.

  • Setup assistant for 10.3.9 - can't complete process to create user account

    After much searching, I find myself still looking for a solution and hope that someone here might be able to help me.
    I just purchased a used iBook G3 (white), 800 mhz. The seller did a complete reinstall of OS X 10.3.9.
    I turned the laptop on for the first time, the movie/setup assistant appeared, and I began to enter the requested information. So far so good. However, once I reached the "Create Your Account" page.... I entered my desired password and it won't let me go past that point. (If I hit Tab after entering my password hint, it just cycles back to the 'Name' field.) I cannot select a user picture/icon (in fact, no pictures appear at all) and the "continue" button at the bottom of the page is grayed out so I can't proceed.
    I am completely baffled. What could be causing this problem and how can I fix it? I want to play with my new toy. I have gone through the previous pages and looked at the information entered, and I can't see anything that could present a problem. Restarting didn't help either. And to answer the question someone is bound to ask... no, I don't have the install disks. (The seller installed the OS.)
    Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide!

    One of the choices to consider would be to get retail OS X install disc(s)
    of your own so you can go back and totally reinstall and test a System.
    This may involve more than it seems; and the computer should have
    included some OS X or other system software. The original software set
    which shipped with the computer, including the Apple Hardware Test, as
    a bare minimum. Since the computer itself could support Tiger 10.4.11,
    if properly upgraded (RAM and adequate capacity hard disk drive) and
    that system is less obsolete than Panther 10.3.9, you may have to get it.
    {Sometimes, depending on the chosen password, if characters not valid
    to be used in a password are put into the window-box, they may not work.
    However most numbers, and common letters are safe bets; as are random
    choices using combinations so long as they don't contain incorrect ones.}
    If you are in contact with the seller of that computer, perhaps you could
    deal with them in regard to this odd matter; and see about getting a set
    of installer discs for the computer. Was the seller a retailer, or private?
    New computers shipped with adequate software to run, test & repair them
    and the discs included at that time were intended to accompany the Mac.
    Also, an installation without the discs is not a legal installation. The best
    tool to find out what's going on would be the retail installer disc, and the
    original Apple Hardware Test for the specific computer model. Harder to get.
    Good luck & happy computing!
