Provision of Adobe Acrobat 8.1 activation code for a non-internet connected pc

Hi
I need to activate Adobe Acrobat 8.1 on a virtual Windows server 2003 system (which is to replace a physical system). This system is in a secure location and is NOT connected to the internet. The option to activate via telephone is no longer available for this version of the product.
Last July we performed a similar activity and via the chat option I provided the product Serial Number and Activation Number and the chat engineer provided me with the Authorisation code.
However this time the chat person stated that the "registration technology for this product has been taken off-line and cannot be re-enabled" and he was unable to provide me with the authorisation codes.
Is this really the case ? Are we going to have to upgrade the version ?
many thanks in advance for your answer

Adobe connect video running smooth but mine not

Hello everybody,
I was trying to publish and receive H.264 video using AMS 5 developer version from flex code using netconnection and netstreams. I am trying to send a 200 kilobits/sec of video.
1) The video being received at the other end is not smooth. Even a small drop in the bandwidth at publisher or receiver side produces jerks in the video and audio gets broken as well.
2) Then I compared it with Adobe connects video it worked smoothly for the same scenario. So i decided to dive deep.
3) The packet information says that there were some major differences in my video packet and adobe connect's video packet
Property
My video packet info
Adobe Video paket info

Flags: 0x010(ACK)

Can anyone explain me the differences and guide me about these attributes and how to change them in my application so that i can use this beautiful technology by adobe optimally.
Regards,
Sahil.

I am happy to help but I still have the problem of not connect when addin installed. I need the addin very much.
Still waiting for help.
Update:
Tried now at home with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. A computer that havn't seen Connect pro in it's life. Fresh install of the addin on an already installed flash player 10.0.45.2. More and more I start to think it is related to the flash player version
Update 2:
After digging very deep into what exactly is going on when the addin is initializing, using a process viewer and the Windows Firewall activity log, I saw that when the addin tries to connect to Adobe, it automatically requests port 443 (SSL Connection). I have a hosted account and the option "Require SSL connection" is disabled. Nevertheless, automatically when connecting to my admin page, it switches the connection to SSL (instead of http://.... it has https://....). It doesn't even try to run a 1935 port connection and then SSL. Goes directly to SSL.
The solution was of course to remove the "s" from https and it worked. 2 days of searching came up to this one letter. Today I am going to call support and report this thing.
Why does it block SSL connection on my PC, I have no idea. It worked perfectly last week.
I have not installed anything new on my PC, besides updating to the newer flash player on Friday.

Can Adobe Connect run Flash Catalyst documents?

I want to create a prize catalog tool that employees can browse within Adobe Connect while attending an event meeting. I created a test document with Flash Catalyst just to make sure I could upload to Connect, and it's a good thing i did. When I uploaded the .zip file to my content library inside Central Login, I could click on the content link and it opened in its own window and worked beautifully. However, when I tried to navagate to that file from inside a share pod, it didn't come up on the list of supported documents, and it wouldn't let me load the zip file directly into the share pod from my computer, either. I noticed that the base file for Catalyst creations is main.swf. Connect accepts SWFs and flash files that contain SWFs, but they must also have an index.swf file, and the files that Catalyst generates don't include one. Is there a way to change that, or anything else I could do so that I can use Catalyst to create my app for inside Adobe Connect?
Thanks in advance for your time and expertise,
-Pauline

Well, Connect 8 supports files from Flash Professional and from Adobe Flex. I've not seen any integration with Flash Catalyst. Adobe Connect came from the Macromedia acquisition and so is a Flash app running on top of the Flash Player but we recommend using Adobe Presenter and Flash Professional or Adobe Captivate or Adobe Flex as tools to create content. If I see any mention of Catalyst I'll post but to date I've not seen where we support it.

How can I find the IP address of guest users who log on to my Adobe Connect Meeting?

We had an Adobe Connect meeting that was open for guest users to log in under generic user names. Does the Adobe Connect meeting log keep the IP address or other identifiable information for these guest users?

Footprints will track and report the User IP's.

Application Issue - Adobe connect unable to handle "unreachable" responses

Hi,
We've discovered what seems to be a bug with the Adobe Connect application/flash player.
For some reason when you have a proxy in place adobe connect still attempts to establish a direct connection to the adobe servers (for example na7fms2.adobeconnect.com), if these packets get dropped video plays with no issue.
However in our case we have ACL's setup on our Cisco routing core (which do not allow this traffic), which in turn respond with "Destination Unreachable (Communication administratively filtered)".
Adobe Connect seems to be unable to handle these responses and goes into a loop continiously attempting a direct connection (around every 10-12 seconds), therefore causing streaming video's to restart every 10-12 seconds.
Below is a screenshot of the packet capture of the accurance.
Basically we managed to create two of the following scenarios in our network.
Video restarts every 10-12 seconds:
Video plays with no issues:
Now this "Destination Unreachable" response is completely legal in terms of RFC http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc792.txt
It would be great if this issue could be raised as a bug and fixed in future versions.
Thanks,
Daniil

Seeing the same issue. Did anyone find any solution?.
Only solution that I could see was opening HTTPS at firewall for only Adobe Connect servers. Wasn't able to locate anything that published the network ranges for the Adobe Connect servers however. Wasn't really a solution that I was happy with anyway.
Only need to do this to allow 1 employee to access a recorded Adobe Connect meeting.
Thanks
Iain.

Verification code for Photoshop

Help...earlier questions from others continue to go unanswered. Adobe insists that a verification code for Photoshop has been sent (necessary in order to send photos using Photomail) but to where? It certainly does NOT go to my email account (despite Adobe verifying that my account is activated); I have sent, resent, and resent the same request over 10 times...where IS it? Help! Or at least answer this and other forum readers' inquiries with the same problem.

I suspect you're using Photoshop Elements?

Cannot user adobe connect on MAC

I have been using adobe connect on a windows pc for a while now, and it works great! Just recently I tried to use it on a Mac and was unseccessful on two mac machines being unable to share my desktop with others and on the other i am not even able to install the add-in. I am using mac OS X 10.4.11 let me know if anyone has the same issue. Thanks in advance for any help!

Other ideas.....
1. Check your ethernet cord/connection. I had a bad plug that was missing the little clip to keep it tight. I kept losing connections and saw that my other laptop that was in the same meeting was running fine. Once I replaced the plug on the end of my ethernet wire, it was fine after that.
2. Replace your ethernet cable (same issue as above)
3. Check your router/hub. Sometimes they need to be re-booted or even replaced. I've had hubs go bad or go "flaky" and not provide solid network connection 100%
4. Re-boot your internet Modem or Cable Modem. Sometimes these devices get corrupted and need to be re-booted.
5. Run a network speed test: http://www speakeasy.net/speedtest If you see odd ball speeds reported, then perhaps your router needs rebooting.
6. If you are in the habit of leaving your computer on all the time and it has been days/weeks/months since you had a fresh reboot, then try rebooting.
7. Best practices for any web conference is to use ethernet and not wireless. Wireless connections are always known for inconsistent connections and duplicated data as well as interference from other networks and devices. The best and most secure experience will always be on a wired connection so try to use wired as much as possible.

I need a request code for offline activation. Because i cannot connect with adobe server for online activation. But I receive "The request code is invalid." by generate answer code.

Dear Anubha,
I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
The version is 8.1.0.
This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned. I get an
"Activation Number" instead.

Adobe connect asking for flash v10.3 or higher but I have v11.4 installed????

I never had this problem before, but recently upgraded my flash and yesterday (Sept. 5) while testing a connection to a meeting room received this message:
Adobe connect requires flash v10.3 or higher
and provided a button to download the latest version, which I did, and downloaded v. 11.4. tried the link to the meeting room a second time and again was told to install flash v10.3 or higher.
So I UN-INSTALLED flash player altogether, got cclean and cleaned up my registry files and downloaded flash player again (v11.4, again) and I still get this message telling me I need 10.3 or higher.
Should I un-install v11.4 and install an older (but higher than v10.3) version????
Please help - I provide technical support and registration assistance and if I can't solve this issue it's going to cause me a lot of problems in terms of providing proper support to my clients.

Hello,
I would like to strongly recommend that you update your version of Flash Player to our currently released version (17.0.0.169) and enable auto updates. The version you are using is insecure and opening your computer (and all of your data) to being easily exploited by bad guys.
As for the error you are receiving, this is most likely a restriction from the website. Each developer is able to specify what the required minimum version of Flash and require their users to have at least that version installed. The detection that is occuring and the message that you are seeing on the website isn't part of Flash Player, but instead part of the website's code.
If you go to this page and click the "Check Now" button, what is displayed (OS, browser and version number)? Do you see the "tree" animation playing below?

Video playback issue for Adobe Presenter 9 when publishing to Adobe Connect Pro 7

Hello!
I am having an issue with video playback for Adobe Presenter 9. When I preview the presentation on my computer there are no issues with any of the MP4 videos that I have loaded into my presentations. However, when I publish the presentation to Adobe Connect and access the URL the videos are either delayed or do not appear at all. We are using our own Adobe server which we purchased in 2008, along with Adobe Connect Pro 7. We recently updated our Adobe Presenter software to version 9. Is there an incompatibility issue between Adobe Presenter 9 and our current Adobe Server/current version of Adobe Connect? Or do I need to do something different in Adobe Presenter when importing the videos? Note: I have tried FLV videos and had the same issue.
We are trying to launch of series of webinars (each webinar has between 15-42 slides), which was the whole purpose of updating our Adobe Presenter and Adobe Captivate software....hopefully we can resolve this video issue.
Thanks!
Dana

Connect 7 didn't support MP4 video content, as I recall. Another issue is that Connect rooms are using Action Script 2 (AS2) while Presenter 9 uses AS3, and the two code languages don't play well together. You don't mention if you are using the meeting application to display the presentation, but it is worth mentioning. If the presentations are stand alone, then the AS3 issue should be non-existent, but the MP4 support may be.
Is there a reason you haven't updated the Connect software to Connect 9 (or at least Connect 8.1 where the Connect application became AS3 as a whole and supported MP4 content)?

Video Capture Card for Adobe Connect

Does anyone have any recommendations for a video capture card for the Mac to use with Adobe Connect? I have a HD camera that I want to connect to my Mac through the S video connection on the camera. I need a video capture card that will work with Adobe Connect.

The Video Telephony Pod is the video pod when Video Telephony Conferencing equipment/cameras are configured to talk with Adobe Connect. This was introduced in Connect 8.1 for SIP and H.264 based VTC systems. It will only work with H.264 video streams from the VTC type cameras found in conference rooms. Usually the major players in the U.S. are Polycom and Tandberg.
The VTC Pod appears as a standard pod once the administrator of an Adobe Connect on-premise server has configured the various admin screens and added the SIP addesees to the configuration xml file.
The video quality is different than the webcam video as here is a table:
Tandberg 990:
Profile Level At FMG End
Video Out At Device
High
1200.0kbps 448p
Medium
600.0 kbps   448p
Low
250kbps       CIF
Tandberg Edge 95 MXP:
Profile Level At FMG End
Video Out At Device
High
1700 kbps w720p
Medium
600kbps    w448p
Low
250kbps    w288p
More information on formats:
768 x 448@30fps (w448p)
576 x 448@30fps (448p)
512 x 288@30fps (w288p)
352 x 288@30fps (CIF)
176 x 144@30fps (QCIF)
So, that HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW refer to the Adobe Connect room preference setting for video. Notice that HIGH shows we can deliver 720p resolution.
The normal webcam video pod is locked to 480p (VGA) 4x3 resolution at 20 frames per second but the server admin on an on-premise install can alter a configuration xml file to go 24 fps but not higher than VGA on the webcam pod.
Probably more than you ever imagined I would share but that's my style.
Take care.

The add-in is version 11.2.385 from July 2013. I've tried uninstalling that version and reinstalling an add-in from this page (http://www.adobe.com/support/connect/downloads-updates.html) for Adobe Connect 8. That add-in at least allows me to launch my webcam, but it crashes 10-15 seconds later and Adobe Connect restarts.
With the new add-in (the first one I referred to), the entire Adobe Connect session shuts down when I click to "allow" Adobe Connect to use my webcam. It never starts it at all.
It's crashing with both internal and external cameras. It's more the clicking "allow" that crashes it, I think, because I've tried both. I prefer to use my internal camera on my new Asus laptop.
And WOW, it DOES work as it should when launching in browser. Thank you for that piece of advice.
