Lightroom 5 perpetual license and updates question

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a boxed version of Lightroom 5.
I wonder if this would permit me to future upgrade to latest version (e.g. as of now is 5.6 if I understand correctly).
Thanks.

If you have a perpetual license you do not want to get the product thru the Creative Cloud.

Lightroom 5 Perpetual License and Redownload

Hi,
I bought Lightroom 5 under a perpetual license but my computer crashed and I had to resinstall it. I did that using creative cloud but I can now see that I'm on a 30 day trial for the product. How do I register the product I've already bought so I won't have to pay the creative cloud cost after the trial is over?
Thanks

Lightroom 5 Perpetual License with Creative Cloud Membership

I own Lightroom 5 perpetual license and I also have Creative Cloud membership with Photoshop CC. For the latest Lightroom 5.6 updates, I tried to update within Lightroom, but a page shows up and ask me to do it thru Creative Cloud application. Once I update Lightroom thru Creative Cloud, I noticed that my license type becomes Creative Cloud which never shows in System Info in version 5.5 (I am using Mac). The Serial Number in System Info still remain the same. In such case, I am wondering if the Lightroom's Develop Module will be disabled if I cease the Creative Cloud membership.
Please help, thanks!

No, you won't lose anything. Your catalog, and preferences, and previews, will all remain in place. Just do it. I did it a couple of days ago and it was very straightforward and painless. My Nik plug-ins were still in place as well as a printer plug-in that came with my printer. The installer put an icon on my desktop. I expected to have to locate my catalog. Didn't even have to do that. Lightroom started and took me to right where I left off, everything still in place.

Perpetual license and creative cloud update popup window

I initially downloaded a 30 day free trial of lightroom from Adobe website which I guess is from the "cloud". I since have purchased a perpetual license that used a new serial #. When I log into my computer I keep getting an annoying creative cloud update window saying there is an update. Is this update window only for creative cloud downloaded software and not perpetual license owners? If it is, how do I disable or remove this annoying cloud update pop up feature from my Mac.

Hi Loveppro11,
Please let us know the version of Mac you are using.
Naviagte to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and uninstall Creative cloud.
Run the Adobe Cleaner to remove any leftover ruminants: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
Download and Install CC desktop from:https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud .
If still the same issue then enable root account and check whether its working there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11331 .

Perpetual license without update

This might not be the most apropriate forum, but maybe someone here is kind enough to share some insight to the license and support scheme!
I'm a bit confused about the licensing right now...
If we have a product license, it should give us the right to a software product. The OLSA atributes licensing as "perpetual" ie. valid for all time.
What happens if license is not tied in with Software Updates "support"?
Without Software Updates, does license not include all versions/releases of product? Does it not give us the right to the CD Packs and OTN downloads?
Thanks!

So I managed to translate from salesish then lol (license => usage rights, support => product to use, sort of)
Problem is how do we find out which version then (license/order document only says "product name", no version)

Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains. You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.

Licensing and upgrade questions

We have an unlimited user Xserve 10.3 running as a web server. We only have 3 actual users, but many web clients.
For us to upgrade to Server 10.4: can we get by with the 10 user site license, instead of the unlimited one we have now?
And is there an upgrade, or do we need to buy the 10.4 server complete package, as seems to be the case?
Xserve Mac OS X (10.3.9)

1) Upgrades from 10.3 "unlimited" to 10.4 "10-client" aren't supported... so you'll definitely need to do a format and reinstall.
2) There's no upgrade pricing. The best way to get a license break is to get OS X Server maintenance -- it's the price of the upgrade ($999) and gives you all updates for the next 3 years. The catch is -- that you must be on the most recent version of the OS (i.e. 10.4 Server) to purchase it.
Your only option, thus, is to buy the complete package, as you noted.

IPhone 4s: Backup, Restore, and updating questions??

So, over the course of the last couple weeks, my iPhone 4s has been lagging, freezing and some apps are crashing. I'm assuming I should do a restore on the phone. I've never done one before, so I'm a little nervous about it. So I have some questions before I get started.
1) If I restore my iPhone to factory settings and then restore my latest backup will the problems that I'm having still persist? I still have 6GB of empty space on my phone (I have the 32GB) so I don't think the lagging is caused by the phone being too full. I'm just wondering if I load from the backup will the issue that's causing the phone to lag/freeze/crash just be put back on the phone when I do the restore?
2) I haven't yet updated to iOS 8 because a few people I know did it with their phones and it essentially rendered their phones unusable. I was wondering if I HAVE to update to the new iOS when I do a restore? I've heard mixed reviews on the performance of iOS 8 on the 4s, and I don't want to make any problems worse.
3) If I do the reset to factory setting and then restore from my backup, will everything that's on my phone at the time of the backup be put right back on the phone? Will all of my photos, contacts, game data etc be transferred? Essentially, I just want to make sure that nothing at all is lost in the restore process.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how to make this as painless a process as possible I would appreciate any and all input.
Thank you in advance!

What can happen after doing an update is something doesn't go quite right - the phone will work fine, but you'll notice odd stuff, like it being slower than usual, locking up, etc. A restore usually resolves that.
If the phone seems to lock up in general (ie: not just in a certain app), then doing a restore is worth doing. If a particular app tends to lock up, the issue is likely with that app.
Wiping the phone and restoring re-installs the iOS from scratch, which will get rid of any issues that may have during an update.
You do have to install iOS 8 at this point - Apple will, for a very short time, continue to sign older versions of iOS after a new one is released, but that usually only lasts a few days, if that.
From what I've read, the 4S runs iOS 8 just fine. Initially, you may notice it running more slowly, but you shouldn't notice that after using it for a while.
As for what gets transferred back - I know from an iTunes backup, you get everything - essentially a mirror image of what your phone looks like when you do the backup. Not sure if the same is true for an iCloud backup.
Hope that helps

Acrobat Connect Pro Meeting Service Plans - licensing and pricing questions

Hello! I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with a few nitty-gritty pricing / licensing / functionality questions, in regard to the Adobe Connect Pro Meeting plans.
1) The pricing is $55/mth/host - if you have, e.g., 5 hosts, but make more than 5 recorded meetings available on-demand, will they all be accessible at any given moment?
2) 25 concurrent users is the limit; is that per recorded meeting? e.g., if 15 people access one recorded meeting and 15 people access another recorded meeting, all at the same time, would you be over your limit?
3) If you do happen to go over your concurrent user limit, what will happen for the 26th user? will they be denied access, or will you simply be charged an overage fee?
I'd appreciated any help or insight you have to offer!

I assume you got this pricing from the on-line website? I ask because when you buy it from Adobe enterprise sales and through our corporate channel then this is all different.
Answers:
1. Yes. On-Demand recordings don't apply against your license.
2. No. That 25 limnit is for concurrent live meetings. It's unlimited for on-demand recordings. That 25 limnit is completely set by the kind of license you are buying. if you purchased thru the software channel versus on-line then that number would be 100 not 25. On-Demand recordings have no limit.
3. If you exceed the concurrent license, then the 26th person trying to join will receive a pop-up message saying the room limit has been reached and they will not be able to join. Yes, denied access. No way to charge a fee for overage.

Does 64 bit run on 10.5, Ads, and Updating Questions

Hi,
Does 64 bit run on Leopard, and if it does, how do I get it? Is there any difference between it and 32 bit?
Also, there's a plugin called Safari AdBlock, and after I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, it only blocks like 60% of the ads. There's still some more. Is it just a change in the FireFox plugin, or is something wrong with the plugin or my computer?
Also, if I update applications like Garageband or Remote Desktop Client will it activate those applications? I don't use them so would I need to update them?

Efficiency will depend upon the ability to detect an ad. Only some sites say, "Hey, what I'm sending you is an ad!" Adblock Plus for Firefox blocks many ads too but not all.
Also, if I update applications like Garageband or Remote Desktop Client will it activate those applications? I don't use them so would I need to update them?
Will what activate whom? Updating Garageband triggering Adblock?

Volume Licensing and KMS questions

I've been reading up on MS licensing all week and still slightly unsure of what we need.
We are revamping our infrastructure and need new licensing. We have 150 Win 7 Pro OEM (and some Win 8 Pro OEM licensed computers that have been downgraded to Win 7 Pro OEM) computers and are getting 4 physical Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard servers.
We would also like to add some virtual servers to those.
From what I've researched, we can just purchase a single
Microsoft®Windows®ServerStandard 2012R2 Sngl OLP 1License LevelC 2Proc
for $865 (used quick quote from MS website). This will give us a KMS host key to install on a 2012 server. We can then reimage Win 7 Pro and other 2012 servers and they will be able to activate with KMS.
Is all this correct? Or do I need to purchase separate Server 2012 and Windows 7/8 VLK's?
I read somewhere that this will also grant access to ISO files for imaging that already have the KMS client key or do not need a key at all? Or can we take any Windows image and apply the corresponding KMS client key to it and use that for imaging?

We are going to end up re-imaging all of our machines, current and future, anyway. I should just be able to use any ISO to create an image and implement the KMS client key there or during deployment, yes? Not gonna buy a client license just for an ISO that
I don't need.
Is software assurance recommended? I saw an advantages chart of it and noticed it included new product versions, license mobility, and virtual desktop allowance, but not much detail about what each of these means exactly. It seems to be something we'll probably
want though.
reimaging rights, can be a little tricky:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/reimaging.aspx
Here is an overview and some scenarios for customising/reimaging:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730914.aspx
Note that there are some limitations about customising if you *don't* have a VL agreement..
SA benefits:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/software-assurance/by-product.aspx#tab=2
There are many benefits to SA, but the value of each benefit varies according to your organisation.
It's also worth noting that when you purchase a product (e.g. new computers with OEM Windows license), within 90 days or purchase you can enrol them in SA, and I think that might be less expensive that if you attach SA later on. But you'd want to consider
that you'll get your value from doing that, compared to some other agreement approach. There are lots of ways to bundle things up to get discounts, many different offerings across different licensing programmes.

Lightroom 4 on MAC and Photoshop on Creative Cloud?

Hi,
I've purchased a copy of Lightroom 4 and it is installed locally on my mac and I'm looking at subscribing to photoshop via the creative cloud service. I don't to subscribe to the whole suite.
Is the integration between the locally installed product and photoshop in the cloud the same as the integration between two locally installed products?
For example can I still select two photos in lightroom and select merge to panorama in photoshop or do I need to have the creative cloud version of lightroom as well?
Thanks!

Adobe Cloud apps are locally installed (other than the web based services).
The difference between Cloud and perpetual licenses is the licensing mechanism.
Adobe ID for Cloud (Photoshop's Cloud activation mechansim calls home via the internet each month to check your membership is current) and serial number for perpetually licensed apps.
The code in the perpetually licensed and Cloud software (both installed on your local machine) operates identically regardless of how you've bought the software.
