Multiple subscriptions, multiple machines

I have a Creative Cloud full membership and a single app subscription. 3 Computers. Can both the single app membership and the full CC membership be "on"at the same time? In other words, is there a way to designate my one machine to always be the single app machine AND have my other desktop and laptop as the two full membership machines? Now I know that my full CC membership can only be "on" on 1 machine at a time. I GET THAT! It works great for me! After using my laptop for example, I then go over to my single app machine (different from my CC Machine) and I always have to "log out" of all other machines. The example is my single app is Premeire Pro CS6 on one machine and the other machines are all the CC apps except CS6 programs.
Please read thoroughly before responding thank you.

Chris Moen have you subscribed to multiple memberships under the same Adobe ID?
Please be aware that only one subscription can be applied per Adobe ID. This means that if you purchased a full membership and a single application membership on the same ID you would only be able to install and activate the software on up to two computers. If you purchased a full membership on one Adobe ID and a singe application membership on a different Adobe ID then you could activate on up to four computers.
This is also the answer to your question. You will want to have the computers with the single application membership signed in with the Adobe ID applicable to that membership. You can find more information regarding activation at Activation & deactivation help - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html.
If you do have multiple memberships on the same Adobe ID then please contact our support team to cancel the additional memberships. You can contact our support team at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.

Managing sole iTunes library with multiple machines on-the-go with database&media on external drive?

Hi fellows. Trying to organize & revamp my iTunes library & wish to achieve a configuration but lack the expertise to achieve it. My objectives are:
Objectives
+1. for my multimedia content to be stored/accessed from an external hard disk+
+2. to keep the entire iTunes multimedia & all necessary operating files as self-contained as possible,+
+3. Allow multiple machines to manage import of new content into library, i.e. download new episodes of podcasts, rip new music & movies into the library, sync-ing of iPod even when said machine is nowhere near my external hard disk (this is the tricky one)+
_Justification for my objectives_
For objective #3, it's not that I'm trying to be funny. My use case is I've 1 laptop (main machine & always at home) & 1 netbook (brought to school daily). Most of my iTunes usage will be via the stay-at-home laptop; but I may wish to add/manage new content onto my iTunes library/iPod while I'm outside (hence, decoupled from my external hard disk at home).
I'm not trying to be funny for objective #1 either. I wish to have a streamlined process of retaining & re-instating my iTunes library meta-data across system re-format, i.e. where the iTunes library db files' location may be changed (most obvious being the new "My Music" folder path in Win7 from WinXP)
_What I'm well aware of_
I understand that storing/re-locating multimedia on external hard disk is no-kick to iTunes veteran. I also understand that after a new installation of iTunes, I can move the fresh copy of "iTunes_library.itl" & "iTunes_library.xml" files to my external volume & point iTunes to their new address from the 2nd launch onwards. I also understand any new machines I introduce into my environment can be directed to that exact copy of iTunes library database files when I install iTunes & pressing "Shift" key upon their launch. Lastly, I also understand that I will have no access to my multimedia files (for playback) while I'm outside, but I can still add new content, & download new podcasts & remove old content from my library/iPod
_The question_
However, what I have difficulty achieving, is launching iTunes on my on-the-go machine(s), without a local copy of the iTunes library database files. I doubt iTunes will be able to launch at all, & if I create a new library (just to launch iTunes), it will not possess content from my main media collection & likely to wipe out my iPod.
_My novice attempt & its inadequacies_
My 1st instinct, is to have the iTunes library database files stored in the cloud. More specifically, I can store them files in my DropBox folder/account, & have every machine update to a single latest version of iTunes library database files upon Internet connection. However, this method depends on:
+* the DropBox application to exist forever,+
+* assumed the installation path of DropBox (or any applications for that matter) to persist/remain unchanged across future versions of operating systems,+
+* Will corrupt any un-sync-ed version of my iTunes library database files when I launched iTunes without 1st updating the local cached copy of them database files (suppose I manage my iPod playlists via iTunes on a plane)+
_Open for recommendations_
So here I'm, all ears to any fine recommendations you iTunes veterans have to offer. Thanx in advance.

In case anyone is interested in these sorta thing:
UPDATE #4: Unfortunately, if you discover you tagged something wrong after importing the songs, even when you correct the tags, iTunes will not re-organize the folder hierarchy, as long as “Keep iTunes Music folder organized“ is UNchecked, even if the songs were imported via the “Automatically add to iTunes folder” channel.
Example: I imported a folder of Andy Lau songs into my library, unbeknownst to me, some of the songs had their “Artist” tagged as “Andy Lau“, while some had theirs tagged as “Liu De Hua“. Naturally, the 1st time round I imported them, 2 separate folders were instantiated as to iTunes, those were names of 2 distinct artists (this is expected, & acceptable behaviour). The downside is, even if I re-tagged all those songs with “Andy Lau” as the artist, iTunes will no longer re-organize & consolidate all them songs into a single “Andy Lau” artist folder (because I’d “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” UNchecked remember?)
Well, you may suggest that I check that option when managing my future library & uncheck it right before launching/using my main, current library. The thing is, iTunes preferences persist across libraries, & one day I will forget to uncheck that option, launch my main library & lose all my current music folder structure to iTunes’ re-organization (which I don;t want, as of yet). Which brings me to another update:
UPDATE #5: My future iTunes library has “I:/iTunes_Media” as iTunes’s “Home” folder. This setting persists even when I switch back to my main, current library. Which means, if I’d my external volume connected while launching/using my main, current library, all new content will end up in that folder on the external volume! Which messes up the whole scheme of things! Arghz!
UPDATE #6: Here’re some updates with regards to ID3 tags:
* the “Album Artist” in Windows (7) Explorer = the “Album Artist” field in iTunes 9
* Modifying a ID3 tag field using Windows (7) Explorer will update BOTH the v1 & v2.3 version of the ID3 tags on the song (if the song has both versions of tags embedded & if the field exists in both tag versions). If you update the tags via iTunes, only the v2.3 tags get updated. This is surprising.
* the “Contributing Artist” field in Windows (7) Explorer = the “Artist” field in iTunes 9 & the “Artist” field in ID3v1 tags (changes in tany of the 3 fields will affect the other 2 respectively)
o However, iTunes Media folder organization will only adhere to the value saved in the “Album Artist” field [if you change the value of "Contributing Artist" in Windows (7) Explorer, the "Artist" field in iTunes or the "Artist" field in a song's ID3v1 tags, no folder re-organization will occur]
UPDATE #7: Some updates with regards to workflow:
Decided to retain all non-music content within a sub-folder named “non-music” beneath the main album folder (& take strict precautions to import songs only). The exception is “m3u” playlist files. Have read elsewhere if you import a folder of songs & there’s an “m3u” playlist inside, your library may have duplicates and/or the tags of those songs you just imported could be screwed, etc.

Run invoke-command on multiple machines at the same time

Hey all so I read that if I store my New-pssession in a variable then used that in my invoke-command it would run all computers at the same time.
$a = Get-Content "C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt"
$session
for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
else{
$session = New-PSSession $a[$i]
Invoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\My computer\C`$\Users\public\Documents\zip folder.ps1"
What exactly am I doing wrong I just need to run this script on multiple machines at the same time.
Thanks.
Edit: Also what would be the best way to close all the sessions thanks.

Hi there,
So what I think you are doing wrong here is that you are overwriting the value in $Session everytime you executed code inside for loop. try the below:
$a = Get-Content "C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt"
$session = @() #define this as an array
for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
else{
$session += New-PSSession $a[$i] #add the new session to the array, at the end it will be a collection of sessions
Invoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\My computer\C`$\Users\public\Documents\zip folder.ps1" #I think the above one won't work..first you need to copy the script locally on the machine and then execute it#Why this won't work because of Second-Hop Authentication
Have put comments where I edited your code.
Hope this helps

Multiple Machine Render question

Alright, so I just realized that After Effects (I'm running CS3) can utilize multiple machine renderings. At first, I thought this would be great since my typical renders are anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. But, after much playing around, I realized that it only works for sequences.. which isn't much help because I export the majority of my work as DV Streams or MOV files! Is there any way I can get it to do formats other than image sequences or am I SOL?
I also considered buying a few moderate-end machines and putting together a small render farm in case I couldn't, but I wouldn't know where the best place is to start with something like that (I'd imagine determine what software works, but I can't find much info on that, really).

for PC's only =====
i wrote my own dos scripts to setup network rendering (remotely start after effects engines, copy projects to a watchfolder, and setup RenderControlFiles, copy and install fonts, etc ... took me a while to write and set up and is really the property of the company I work for), but the basics are below and from my in-house help file. Works better for us than collecting footage, basically, just substitute local drive volume names with UNC names, save the project, submit to the watchfolder, in its own directory, and add an RCF text file (try collecting footage, an RCF file will be generated so you can see whats in it). The thing that took me longest to debug was to install required fonts remotely ... any way read the basics
THE FOUR BASIC REQUIREMENTS
The basic requirements for any software that can network render, are that
(1)
all participating computers are able to access the original source footage,
(2)
any required fonts are loaded and active on the participating renderers,
(3)
any plugins and codecs used are also installed and available, and
(4)
all rendered frames, ie, output are send to a common storage area; single frames sequences are the best output format, a single streamed format, like an AVI, MPEG, or Quicktime Movie cannot be created by more than one computer at one time. However if your render queue has multiple single file streams queued, multiple render slaves can render the multiple queued streams, with one slave rendering one of the streams at a time two or more render slaves cannot render the same stream at the same time.
SETTING UP YOUR PROJECT TO NETWORK RENDER
Source Footage Paths
The first problem in the below example is that all the source footage is referenced using local paths. The default network rendering method Adobe use is really best suited to archiving, wherein the footage is collected from the source computer and copied to a common server in a hierarchial tree structure. In this example the source footage is comparatively short, but still over 900mb long, so there is a time issue involved, a network traffic issue, a storage issue at the server end, a server management issue, and if the network render fails, or needs to be redone, this step will need to be repeated or the process hacked by an appropriately skilled person.
To network render, all source imagery should use a file path that can be seen by other computers on a network. The best method is to use UNC (universal naming convention) paths, ie \\computername\sharedvolume\foldername\foldername\imagename.
In the above example a badly pathed file N:\TV1 Promos\sas\sas1.aif could be made legal by re-pathing to \\regan\zone2\TV1 Promos\sas\sas1.aif assuming that zone2 is an explicitly shared volume.
TIP: you can create as many share points as you want. You could, for example create an additional share point N:regan\one2\TV1 Promos\sas and call it SAS so it appears as the share \\regan\SAS. Just right-hand click on the folder you want to share, select SHARING from the menu, create the new share and give it a meaningful name; on XP systems, you also need to specify read/write access permissions.
You can create a shortcut to this or any other share, leave it on your desktop, and that will save you time navigating to that point or typing out \ \ r e g a n \ s a s
Alternatively, you can highlight a network path in explorer, copy that text, and keep pasting it when subsequently specifying paths.
There are not limitations on how many share points you can create.
An further alternative method would be to use the administrative share path, \\regan\N$\TV1 Promos\sas\sas1.aif. Here the drive letter N: is replaced by \\regan\N$. This method is particularly useful where the volumes are not explicitly shared.
One other method is to map shared volumes or folders to a drive letter, but for this to work, the drive mapping must be consistant across all participating renderers, so you would have to run around these computers mapping network shares to drives on a per job basis as required, so it is not at really very practical.
After Effects 6.5 introduced a smarter way if the project is opened on another computer on the network, it will attempt to replace the locally specified footage paths, with network paths. Mostly it works okay, sometimes it doesnt. Footage that is sourced from mapped network drives, for example where W: drive refers to \\Gfxserver2\graphics2, will have problems.
The best way is to use the UNC paths from the begining of the projects construction, then there is never an issue, and the project will always be portable, but if you forget or cant be bothered, or think that using network rather than local paths is slowing you down, ...
1) save your project,
2) open your project on another machine
3) reload one of the missing footage files ... the rest should fill themselves in, if they dont they are probably on another drive
4) check the output is network pathed
5) save the project, and submit that version to the render farm
Ultimately, for this project to network render successfully, the source footage needs to be completely specified in a manner where it is accessable by any machine on the network, so use must be made of
\\computername\VolumeLetterDollarSign\foldername\foldername\imagename, or
\\computername\sharedvolume\foldername\foldername\imagename, or
\\computername\sharedfolder\imagename methods.
Output Footage Paths and Render Settings
Once the source files have been amended to include a full network pathname, the parameters for the render can be set.
STEP ONE
In the Render Queue window, firstly choose a single frame Output Module, such as TARGA or JPEG; a single file streamed format, like an AVI, MPEG, or Quicktime Movie CAN NOT be created by more than one computer at one time. However if your render queue has multiple single file streams queued, multiple render slaves can render the multiple queued streams, with one slave rendering one of the streams at a time two or more render slaves cannot render the same stream at the same time.
STEP TWO
In the Render Settings, make sure you turn off storage overflow and turn on skip existing frames so that once any frames that have been network rendered, those frames will not be rendered again by another machine.
STEP THREE
The destination for the outputted animation should include the full network pathname, so that all the outputted files end a up in the same place.
Warning: If local paths are inadvertently used here the rendered files could be scattered over any local hard drive of the machines that will be rendering the animation, and each rendering machine would not be able to determine which frames had been rendered by other machines, so each machine could end up rendering the entire sequence itself, it the drive letter exists on that rendering machine.
Again it doesnt really matter which of the network naming methods is employed; either
\\computername\VolumeLetterDollarSign\foldername\foldername\imagename, or
\\computername\sharedvolume\foldername\foldername\imagename, or
\\computername\sharedfolder\imagename will work.
STEP FOUR
The project with its network pathed source and output files specified, and render queue setup would then be saved.

I have a zipped dump file if someone at Adobe wants it.

Yes, the application is loaded and then closed for each file. I agree it's not ideal, but that's just how it works. So 45 minutes for 200 files comes down to about 13 seconds per file, which is reasonable considering it has to open Word, open the file, convert it to a PDF and then close Word.
You can request this feature to be improved here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
By the way, you should make sure that you have the latest version of Acrobat available, to ensure maximum compatibility.

How to run JMS in multiple machines?

hello all,
i am new to jms, so please let me know how to run jms in multiple machines.
i mean, iin one machine publisher and the queue/topic are running, in other machine listener/clent. so client and the publisher must be running in an application servers. so it means only two app servers can send and receive messages?
then what is the advantage of JMS?
I think the sender will be sending messages and the listener can get them at later time, is my understanding is correct?
Please let me know how it works in multiple machines? and how shold i start now?
please give me the details....
thanks in advance.
charan

Hi Charan!
If I understand your questions right, yes, you can use JMS on several physical machines. They connect using JNDI.
However, you cannot communicate asynchronously through JMS alone. The benefit of JMS is that you have a common interface to use when talking to a messaging provider, like WS MQ, Sonic MQ, etc. Most vendors support JMS, and those who do are called JMS providers. They are required to implement either the Queue functionality or Topic functionality (or both). When using a JMS provider, you really see the benefit of JMS. How else would you secure that your system is loosly coupled? Also, by using JMS and Message Driven Beans you get the benefits of container managed transactions, object pooling, etc.
If you do not have a JMS provider, you still have the benefit of a loosly coupled system by using JMS to integrate your applications, but in a large system, you should consider a tool for asynchronous messaging(again WS MQ, Sonic MQ, etc).
I would recomend you start by reading the JMS section of the J2EE tutorial provided by sun.

Fast Method to Install Oracle Client in multiple machines

Hi all,
I need to install Oracle Data Provider for NET (and all depending Oracle client SW components) in multiple client machines.
Exist any other options (faster) without installing oracle client on each of the machines?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Really what i need to know is if is possible to install Oracle Data Provider for NET (and all depending Oracle client SW components) first in one client machine and then using it as "template", copy the folders of the installation of oracle and adding the appropriate registry entries in the rest client machines would be sufficient.
I do not know if this is possible. This would greatly facilitate installation on multiple machines that i need (i have to say that the machines are in different domains).
Someone could help me?

Load balancing across multiple machines

I am looking for assistance in configuring Tuxedo to perform load balancing across
multiple machines. I have successfully performed load balancing for a service
across different servers hosted on one machine but not to another server that's
hosted on a different machine.
Any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Hello, Christina.
Load balancing with multiple machines is a little bit different than
in the same machine. One of the important resource in this kind
of application is network bandwidth, so tuxedo tries to keep the
traffic among the machines as low as possible. So, it only
balance the load (call services in other machine) in case all the
services are busy in the machine where they are call.
I mean, if you have workstation clients attached only to one
machine, then tuxedo will call services in this machine untill
all servers are busy.
If you want load balancing, try to put one WSL in each machine,
and the corresponding configuration in your WSC ( with the | to
make tuxedo randomly choose one or the other) or spread your
native clients among all the machines.
And so, be carefull with the routing!

Error 0xC004C032, Office failed install, multiple machines

I suppose this is a minor problem in the great scheme of things. And maybe, depending on your point of view, it's not a problem. Allow me to explain.
I'm trying to install the trial version of Office 2013, and I did so successfully on laptop A. However, laptop A's hard drive failed within days, and I obtained a new machine, laptop B. (Certainly, this would be a situation that comes up from time to time,
considering the gazillions of Office installs happening.)
I tired to install the trial v of Office, but the Activation seemed to have stalled with the
Error 0xC004C032, the multiple machines error.
Oddly enough, Office opens and it seems to work. But instead of 60 days trial, it says 30 days. I remember 60 on laptop A.
So, is there any solution other than creating a new Hotmail e-addy and installing under a new account? (I hate making new e-addies; I feel personally-attached to my old one. :-( )
Why is the trial now at 30 days? Why does it even work without activation?
{||} Nehmo {||}

Hi Nehmo,
Are you using Office Professional Plus 2013 or Office 365 ProPlus? As can be seen from this site, for Office Professional Plus 2013, you can try it for 60 days, but for Office 365 ProPlus you will only have 30 days:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-office-365-proplus
Have you downloaded the installation file from the same source/site? With the same Microsoft account?
You can go to FILE>Account to check the product information and see if it has been activated.
Regards,

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Install Aperture From App Store On Multiple Machines?

Hi..
Can anyone help with this question?
I own a hard copy of Aperture 2 and I'm considering buying Aperture 3 from the App Store. I have a 17" MBP for portability plus another machine back at base.
If I buy the App whilst on my 17" MBP, it will be automatically installed. Is there then the opportunity to re-install it onto my other machine? If so, how?
I bought the Aperture 2 disk and obviously had the freedom to install it onto the field machine and the machine back at base, and that's the setup I need for my workflow.
I presume you can load App Store software you buy onto multiple machines, back it up or create a re-installable version... or is this not the case?
Thanks for any guidance,
Clown Guy

Networked Music Library - How to refresh multiple machines' library window?

I want to have my iTunes music library on a network hard drive, accessed by multiple machines.
But, if I add / rip new tracks into the library, only the machine that ripped the tracks knows they are there. The others are oblivious to the new tracks.
How do I get the other machines to automatically check the library to see if any new tracks have been added, and add them to their respective library windows if they find any?
Thanks - Dave G.

Interesting question! And, one that I will use often, so I did a test.
My main library is on my iMac, my travel library is on my MBP. Once back home, simply choose File:Import:Library/Project. Now browse to the MBP (file sharing must be enabled), and select the travel library & import. I did NOT have Aperture running on the MBP during the import.
It works quite well.

Unable to update client on multiple machines

Hi All,
I am completly new to ARD and trying out it features. I have ARD with unlimited clients. I was able to see all the machine (G5) and their client and then I tried select all the clients and selected task to "Upgrade client" which did not work at all. Then I tried selecting individual client and upgrade was successful. Can anyone tell me if I need anything special in order to run task on multiple machines at once?
Thanks,

I have just installed it today, I had the same experience. I couldn't update multiple clients at the same time, even had a problem updating some individual clients. I put it down to the client being busy at the time, it eventually did update after several tries.

Getting FCPX to export to multiple machines in Compressor

We have 3 - 2013 Mac Pro Towers (grey) 1 new late 2013 Mac Pro (black), 2 - 2013 - 27” iMacs and 2 - 2013 Mac Mini’s. All are running the latest version of FCPX (10.1.1) and Compressor (4.1.1) on OS X 10.9.2.
The Mac Pro (trash can) and the iMacs are connected through Thunderbolt and all of the other machines are connected through a gigabit network. We are exporting to a 12TB Thunderbolt RAID.
We have 100 - 90 minute edits we need to export to an MKV file format each week. We are trying to use multiple machines to export these on. We have set up Compressor on each machine and added them as “Shared Computers” in the Compressor preferences. When we finish the edit and “Send to Compressor” the multiple machines do not pick up the export and share the work.
All computers are set as "Shared" with no passwords required. We have selected "All Interfaces" for the network sharing Preferences.
All machines are editing on FCPX and exporting through Compressor fine on their own. The part we are trying to sort out is the machines sharing the work in Compressor.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

How do I automatically update/distribut files to multiple machines at once?

We use Vectorworks (CAD software) in my office and it includes, within its own application folder, a library of objects and templates.
What I'd like to be able to do is update the files within this folder on each machine at the click of the button, preferably using my own machine as a master.
Any ideas on how achieve this?
We're running Mac OS X 10.4 on all machines (about a dozen) and have a server running Mac OS X Server 10.4. We also have Apple Remote Desktop.

You can update file(s) on multiple machines using Apple Remote Desktop. Create a list (File > New List) and add the machines you want to update. Then use the "Copy" tool (Manage > Copy Items) to distribute the updated files from your machine to the target machines. There are several options for "Copy" and it depends on which version of ARD you're running.
