Location of Connection Key

Where does one find connection key after downloading app?
Once I downloaded Contribute CS3, I don't remember seeing anything
about a connection key. I received the serial number for the
purchase but that's it from what I remember.

You do not receive a connection key. A connection key is
something created by an administrtor of Contribute to provide users
with an easy manner to create a connection to a website.
When you purchased Contribute for yourself you will have to
create a connection yourself. What you, in most cases, need is a
ftp address, a username and a password. In the main menu go to
Edit>My Connections, and create a new connection.

  • Sending a connection key from a Mac to a PC

    It is very easy to send a connection key, but when I send one to PC from a MAC, I get this error "This connection key is only compatible with the Macintosh version of Contribute.".
    Does anyone have suggestions on why this happening?

    The network path is the location of the website in your organization’s local network. The network path includes the name of the server on which the website is stored and the directory path of the website’s files on that server.
    For example, your network path might be \\mycomputer\wwwroot\ (Windows) or afp://server:volume: (Mac OS).
    Note: If you are a Mac user, to create a LAN connection, make sure to mount the network volume of the server you are creating a connection to on your computer desktop before you create your connection. In the Finder, select Go > Connect to Server to mount the network to which you want to connect.
    Hope this answers.

  • Connection Key Corrupt

    When I send a connection ket to one of the user she got this error mesage, "The connection key you're trying to import is corrupt. Please contact your administrator for assistance." Our agency has several locations but we can all access to the server. I have been sending connection keys to other user in different location and I don't have any problem except tthis particular user in this particular location. Any help will be appreciated. Thansks!

    Do you have CS3 and your user has CS4? If so, this is exactly problem I have, which is currently with Adobe Tech Support for resolution.

  • What is the best way to test connection keys?

    I've created multiple connection key for various rolse on a
    new site. When I select the key it asks if I want to replace the
    existing connection, which I really don't want to do.
    What is the best way to handle this so the administrative
    connection is not affected?

    Also create a connection key for you administrator role, so
    you can swiftly switch back.

  • How do locate my WEP Key to link wirelessly to my HP Photosmart Printer?

    My Photosmart Plus printer pad is asking me for my WEP Key so it will link up to the computers in my home, including my iMac. How do I locate the WEP Key?.... I have a Linksys Wireless G Router.

    You need to access the admin area of the router. From a browser type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and hit return. That should bring up a prompt where you need to insert a user name and password to access your router's admin area. Hopefully you set up a password here and did not forget it. If not just put in 'admin' as the password. Then navigate to the wireless security page and you will see the info you want that you forgot, if indeed you set up a WEP key.
    Alternatively you could read the manual for your router.

  • Connection key compatibility problem between Mac and Windows

    I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and came up with a work-around?
    We are rolling out Contribute CS5 to some employees.
    The designers (I'm one of them) are all on Macs. Everyone else is on Windows XP.
    We are connecting to our sites via local/network. IT didn't want to set up FTP (I won't go into why right now).
    So, here is where the problem is... We set up the site and do the first connection on our Macs. Then when we send out a site key, to a Windows user, the key is no good. This is because Macs handle paths to network shares differently than Windows does.
    I thought the solution would be to customize the key with the Windows share path before sending it to the Windows users. However, Contribute wants to verify the path before letting me continute to make a customized key. And that is where I'm stuck. Is there a solution to this - besides switching to FTP?
    Thanks,
    Ward

    For windows users can you create a connection key in Windows machine and send the same.

  • Connection key doesn't work

    Hi, I have Contribute CS3/Dreamweaver CS3. When I create a
    connection key, then send it to a user (or try to use it myself) I
    get the message "Your FTP username or password is incorrect." In
    testing: I create a key in DW/CS3, place it on my Mac deskcop, then
    open Contribute CS3, double-click the key, I get the message. If I
    create a new connection in Contribute CS3 as admin, I can get in to
    edit site. I create a connection key, place it on my Mac desktop,
    remove the connection in Contribute CS3, then double-click the new
    key, I get the same message. Same problem for clients. All sites,
    all clients. I can walk a client through manually adding the
    connection and it works just fine. Anyone with any ideas why the
    keys don't work???

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Creating connection keys programmatically

    Hi,
    Is there anyway I can create the connection keys
    programmatically, using an API or something ?
    Thanks in advance

    It is in XML, and encrypted. The code looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <site>
    <version creator="Contribute" major="3" minor="0"/>
    <localinfo sitename="Your Site" httpaddress="

  • Sending Publisher Connection Key gives Admin Rights in Contribute CS4

    I manage numerous remote sites around the country remotely using Contribute CS4. Each site uses a common template with different header images and left navigation.
    All of these sites function beautifully except one. On this particular site, sending a publisher connection key allows the user to connect to and edit pages on the site. However, the connection shows my (admin) email address, gives the user admin rights, and then puts a lock (.lck) file on almost all of the files, including the .CSS file. It also gives odd messages about workflow errors.
    From my end on the Contribute Administer Websites panel, the user shows up as publisher, but on their end, they have admin rights and my email address displays on their connection
    I tried deleting all of the files in the _mm and _notes folders and starting over, but this did not fix the problems.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
         Did you try re-creating Publisher keys for them, and sending it to your client? Also, with the existing key which your client has, what is the Role information for that connection key? This can be checked in the My Connections dialog.
    Where is your e-mail address being shown? If it is in the My Connections dialog along with the connection name, then that is because the administrator's e-mail address is shown there.
    Hope this helps.

  • Connection key

    I'm a longtime Dreamweaver user and just installed Contribute
    CS4.
    As a website designer / developer some of my clients want to
    do minor edits to the websites I build them. I'm running a test to
    see what they must do, so I setup a beta site on my server.
    I created a "connection key" and sent it to a test client.
    She got it, but when she double-clicks it, Vista says "what program
    opens this file?"
    I have Contribute on my machine. Does the client need it
    too?? Sounds like a dumb question, but I don't see anything in
    documention that covers this.
    Thanks,
    John

    Contribute is a client side program. It needs to be installed
    on your computer and your clients computer. Communication with the
    webserver is done with FTP. When your client installs Contribute,
    the program will run when she double clicks the key.

  • Connection Key Issues

    I have a user for whom I've sent a connection key, when they
    try to use the key (i.e. opening the key in Contribute), they
    receive the following error:
    Contribute could not verify your connection key.
    Please contact your administrator for assistance.
    (Server Error: Contribute cannot contact the website
    specified in the connection key. Please contact this website's
    Administrator for assistance.)
    The user is in the same user group on the Windows server as
    all the other users of Contribute and they are using the correct
    login information.
    Any ideas on what could be going on?

    I have a similar problem.
    I am working with a user who has a Mac; I have a PC. We are
    both using Contribute 2.
    I sent him a connection key together with the password.
    When he clicked on the key and entered the password, he got
    the following error message:
    Your login or password is incorrect. Please check your
    connection information or contact your administrator.
    I went round to enter in the password myself to make sure it
    was entered correctly and I got the same error message.
    However when I click on the connection key on my machine and
    enter the same password, I have no problems re-setting the
    connection.
    Does anyone have any ideas about what's going wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Connection key problem

    I can connect to my website if I manually set up the
    connection in Contribute. When I send a connection key we get an
    error message that the username and password cannot be verified. I
    have tried sending the key with the username and password included
    in the key, also set it up so users have to enter the username and
    password themselves. Nothing works.
    We set up a separate ftp account on our website that only
    allows access to a specific folder.
    We recently moved our website to a new hosting company
    Network Solutions. We did not have any problems with Contribute
    connection keys on our previous host. Any possible solutions would
    be appreciated.

    For windows users can you create a connection key in Windows machine and send the same.

  • Connection key issue

    I sent a connection key to a client who has Contribute CS3 already installed and has been using it for at least a year. I sent a new connection key for her because she changed web host companies. When she clicks on the link in the email to set up the connection a window pops up that asks her to "Please install Adobe Contribute CS3 using Setup.exe".
    Not sure what's going on here.

    Did you try saving the attached key file to the harddrive first (in other words: get it out of the email client) before trying to double click it? This sometimes seems to do the trick.
