Lightroom and Product Activation
Ok, I'm confused. Does Lightroom use Product Activation, or not?
I've been thinking about buying Lightroom for a while now; very impressed with the demo. But, I won't buy software that uses product activation. Back when 1.3.1 came out, I called up Adobe's sales 1-800 number, and they said there would be product activation unless I bought a volume license, so I figured "too bad, no lightroom for me. Maybe I'll buy a Mac and Aperture."
But, I was complaining about this the other day, and someone told me Lightroom does not, in fact, use product activation. I notice it isn't on this list:
http://www.adobe.com/products/activation/productsactiv.html
And I found this comment in a google search:
"I'm impressed with Adobe NOT requiring online activation in order to register Lightroom."
-http://www.tuaw.com/2007/02/19/lightroom-vs-aperture-whats-best/
I also notice the lack of a "deactivate" option in the menus (although maybe that doesn't show up until I activate?).
So, what gives? Has anyone tried to install and "register" light room on a machine without an internet connection? Did it work?
No on-line product activation, like Photoshop or Dreamweaver. Just a serial number or not. If not you got thirty days of use.

Auto File Associations and product activation
Hello
There are two things I want to address in an Office 2013 deployment.
1. After the the installation completes, I am prompted with selecting file associations for Word. Is there a way to automate this?
2. I am also prompted to activate the product. I have modified the config.xml in \\SCCMSVR\Sources\Applications\Microsoft\Office 2013\proplus.ww to include
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
<Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1" />
I have also tried adding AUTO_ACTIVATE and the value of 1 in the Modify Setup Properties section of the msp we are using.
Thanks for any help.I am hoping there is some way to address the file associations in the OCT file.
"File Associations" - do you mean the "Default File Types [Office Open XML formats vs.
OpenDocument formats] topic discussed here?

The hard disk was destroyed suddenly, so she did not have time to remove the programs activation. She has the same software also has an iMac computer, which they of course work. But how she is able to, they reactivate the laptop?
Thanks

The solution is fairly simple. If she doesn't have any record ( in email or with her copies of photoshop) she can call Customer service and they'll be able to give her her product key. After she re installs everything she will be good to go!

i have activation code. originally purchased via amazon as the disc version and i have this but no disc drive.
If you registered the license with Adobe, then you should be able to download the software from your "My Plans and Products" associated to you Adobe ID. Assuming you are logged in with your Adobe ID, try here:
https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html
I currently see the serial numbers of all of my versions of Lightroom (and other Adobe products) and there are download links.

I have just sought to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back
Hi there
I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these. Instead it just took me to the
adobe page with nowhere visible to update. I then sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
functionality It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe.
I have since remedied the problem as my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that. I do feel that this is a bit
of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.

I own a copy of CS5.5 that I have on my PC. I have switched to a new iMac and during activation it says that my serial number is not for the product I'm trying to activate. I have tried live chat a couple times but it says that chat is not available.
Jb4short you can verify your registered serial number under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you have a volume license serial number then you need to download the volume license installation files from https://licensing.adobe.com/. -
nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.
It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

Actual Activity allocation and Planned and actual activity comparison issue in Product Costing
Friends,

2.KP26 – Planned under Fixed Price
Labour – 2.0 HR
Diesel – 1.0 HR
Electricity – 5.0 HR
3. When I run CK11N system collecting correct rates for all activities (Costing Lot Size- 1)
Like;

Issue – System Split Electricity cost between all the activities assigned to Workcentres Cost Centre.
But I want to post that cost only to ELE30 Activity and not for all
When I RUN KSSI for actual Price determination system shows
OTy Object Name AUn Act Qty Total price Price (Fixed) PUnit
ATY CBAKYPDDXB/DIE20 Production Dxb HR 5.0 366.66 366.66 10

ATY CBAKYPDDXB/LAB10 Production Dxb HR 2.0 916.75 916.75 10
2200.06
2200.06 is almost double than 1100.00 which is actual electricity cost and the same is actually determined for all the activities.
After revaluation of the process order system posting below values
40002 RAW MATERIAL BAKERY CONSUMED 1005/1100000042 5.00 5.00

994330 Electricity Cost CBAKYPDDXB/ELE30 0.67 183.33
2.67- 542.01
Production Variance is posted as 542.01….
I strongly believe there is some issue in configuration for activity allocation….
Main issue is
Point No. 4 – Different Figures in Process Order Cost Analysis
Point No. 7 – Assessment cycle run
Point No. 8 – KSS2 and KSII for Actual cost Allocation and Production variance…
Friends… I have tried to explain maximum please help me to understand the concept or missing configuration/Process.
Thanks
Sagar ChinchkarDear Rajneesh,
I have made the changes as suggested....
It seems now my Order Cost analysis and Product cost analysis are showing the same figures.
I have also maintained cost center splitting structure for ELE30 Activity allocation.

100
Allocation for ELE
Cost Element
994215
Activity Type
ELE30
Splitting Rule

Allocation for ELE

Activity quantity
Version 0
In my case actual activity confirmed is 3.1 for 2 orders in period 5
Order 1 - QTY 2
Order 2 - QTY 1.1
Total actual Electricity exp is 1150 in period 5
followed procedure to post actual activity on product is mentioned below
KSS2 Actual cost splitting - Result as expected 1150 for ELE30
KSII Actual price determination - Result as expected 3.1 actual confirmed QTY for ELE30 with actual price
QTY 3.1 Tot Price 3,709.68 Planned(FIX) 3,709.68 Per Units 10
(System is doing 1150/3.1*10=3709.68)
3.CON2 Actual revaluation of orders
Here while reevaluating the Process Orders system calculation is different
Order 1 - QTY 2 - 558.00
Order 2 - QTY 1.1 - 407.56
Total - 965.57
4. After CON2 system is changing the value of other activities like
LAB10 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0
DIE20 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0
Which should not be the case....

by the way the dell xps is great
daveThanks for the info I know that there were problems with the high res
I am using the latest photoshop and bridge from the cloud but only using the trial copy at the

There is that pitfall in buying HiDpi laptops for Windows.
Only Photoshop CC 2014 has the option to scale the UI 200% in order to make it usable on these hires screens.
CC and earlier does not have this and Adobe would have to retrofit them. Not likely with older products.

Lenovo and Suse Enterprise Product Activation and Suse Update?
Hello,
I have just bought an Ideapad S10e with Suse on it.
Can anybody help me with this two questions.
1) I would like to activate my Suse product at the Suse website, where do I find my activation key?
2) Can I update easily from Suse 10 to the new Suse 11, I have got Suse 10 with my new Lenovo.
Thanks a lot for any answer!Hi,
? Product Activation did hear that for the first time ?
and its not possible to upgrade direct...
the Suse 10 is not really up to date...
its better choice to delete it and starting from a scratch install all other linux if you want linux...
i.e. Opensuse 11,
Linux Mint, Ubuntu 9.04 ... Archlinux..
.and many more..
my favs are Ubuntu and Mint...
all function out of the box....
if you want more information in your native language

i bought lightroom and need to register my student id, how do i do that, the trial has run out, i have the product code but not the serial number?
If you purchased a package then there should have been instructions in the box on how to submit your academic credentials. If you purchased online from Adobe then you should have received instructions in an e-mail. But here is a link that might help you. There is a link under Step 2 that will take you to a place where you can enter the information, I think.

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?
Like others, I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to the next generation and migrated all my information from old to new. Everything works seamlessly EXCEPT Acrobat. Photoshop, Indesign, Bridge and Lightroom all seem functional. Acrobat hangs with an error message "Suite Product Activation Needed. Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another element of the suite (such as Photoshop)." Needless to say, starting another element of the suite has NO impact on Acrobat.
This has to be a common problem. Now that Apple has made it really easy to migrate information from old to new machines, it has to come up all the time. What surprises me greatly is that I can't find any coherent answer in these forums.
So how do I get Acrobat running again?Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?
