Photoshop CC, device license, installation, activation

I subscribed via the French Federation of Photography : a Device license for Photoshop CC.
I got through the installation. (I am administator of the team).
In the administration console, I saw the the license has been activated.
Note: All following messages are in French. I translate them.
At the first run of PS I got a popup window about "Required Connection". I press continue and surprise:
I am said that I can use Adobe Photoshop CC for 32767 days!! (Great for a trial period!).
When I press the button "Activate now", it opens a new window for subscription.
What is my status? Can I use PS CC safely for all my subscription time (one year)?
update: I tried to run PS CC again, and now I am said I have a 30 days trial period. Of course this is not what I was expecting.!

Photoshop multiple device license question

When I purchase Photoshop elements is the license for only 1 device or one househould (i.e. both desktop and laptop on single account)? Does this change for a small business purchase?

You are permitted two activations (sign-in).
Yes you can use PSE on desktop and laptop.

I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop digitally but when i activated adobe I keep getting this error message Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - NO DISK. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive/device/harddisk/dr1

It sounds like you downloaded the wrong application, namely Adobe Premiere Elements.
If you meant Adobe Photoshop Elements, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you want:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
If you mean Photoshop proper, since you are posting in the Photoshop forum, give version details and your system specs.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,

if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.

Photoshop CS3 Volume License Activation

Hey guys,
We are trying to activate Photoshop CS3 volume license we have but getting this message. How can we get it activated? This is a 43 user license we have, maybe 10 people here have it. We can't deactivate them because it's a volume license. We need Photoshop CS3 for Blu-ray authoring still, but have lots of people here on Creative Cloud 2014.
Is there still even a website to manage our CS3 volume license? I don't know of any way to do this. Adobe Creative Cloud phone support weren't able to help. The alternative activation via phone, when I called, just said to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/activation, which wasn't any help since AT ALL.

I have the following link to offer but I do not know if it leads to a solution for you...

Setting the "Device Name" when activating device licenses

What determines the “Device Name” in the list of activated devices in the Development Pool on the Adobe license site for device licenses? Specifically for Macs... It doesn't seem to be the "Sharing Preferences" pane...

So, figured it out by myself. It appears that the Adobe serializer uses the local Mac's hostname. You can find that out by going to the terminal and typing 'hostname'. The host name gets set initially by any domain name that is assigned to the IP. If none is, it uses the Sharing Name in the Sharing preferences pane. Regardless, you can override and change the hostname using the terminal (sudo scutil --set HostName mynewhostname.local). Deauthorize the device on the Adobe site and reauthorize and it will appear as desired. This way, you can have the machine listed on the Adobe site however you wish rather than by domain name. This is helpful if you have a long list of machines and wish to set their hostnames to their room number or location, etc.

(OSX) We have device licenses, but random Macs stop working and demand sign in. Signing in allows trial activation.

OSX 10.9.x
We have device licenses which we have deployed via Deploy Studio image, however occasionally a single Mac in a classroom will refuse to load Creative Cloud apps and demands that the user signs in with an Adobe ID. If a valid Adobe ID is used (even the one attached to our account that was used to download the device licenses) then we get the option of activating a trial mode.
All Macs have Internet access, and CC has only been installed over the last few months. Re-imaging resolves the problem, but is a bit overkill as a solution.
Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?

Hi screen-name-pf ,
We need to see the PDApp.log and amt3.log file of the machine where the install is failing to tell you the reason of failure. The log file is formed at /usr/Library/Logs/PDApp.log.

VIP device license - moving installations to new devices

I am considering purchasing two Educational CC VIP Device Licenses (as opposed to Named Licenses) for use in my computer lab.
My question is: Once I have deployed the software using the CC Packager, am I allowed to uninstall the software and move it to another device? For example, if one of my lab computers breaks down or is replace, can I move the license to a new computer, or is the device license forever tied to that computer?
It looks like this is fine for Named Licenses (since they are tied to an individual account) but It's not made clear if this is possible for Device Licenses.

Sorry if I'm being dense here.
My understanding is that the only version of Palm Desktop that will run on Vista is 6.2, so I have installed that version.
My old computer ran on an earlier version of both Windows and Palm Desktop.
When I open Palm Desktop 6.2 on the new computer and select "import", the only file types it sees are .dba and .vcal.
The datebook file from the old computer that appears (by it's last modified date) to include the latest information is a .dat file - and the version 6.2 won't see that file, so I can't (near as I can tell) import it.
Is there any option short of installing the OLD version of Palm Desktop on another computer with an earlier operating system and then using that computer to export the data into something that 6.2 can import (I'm only assuming that would work - but it seems cumbersome even if it would).
Thanks,

Separate section for installation/activation/etc. issues

I'd suggest to add a separate section (subforum) for each (or most of) the software products, dealing exclusively with issues pertaining to installation/deinstallation/activation/deactivation/installing 64bit version on.../using product with ... graphics card/etc.etc...
For example, since the launch of Photoshop CS4, the main Photoshop forum section has been cluttered with installation/activation issues to a point, where other issues go unnoticed and people lose interest in the forum. During the last days, I've read at least 2 comments in the Photoshop section, that they have decided to stop using the forum for exactly this reason.
I'd have to look, but I can surely retrieve these comments, if need be ...
kind regards.

such a nonsense!
There is a huge difference in
USING the program vs. installing/deinstalling (etc.) it. Don't say most of the people here are dumb!
If Joe and Jane sixpack wouldn't know that it's an installation issue, how come that they are capable of saying so in the thread title ??
And just look at today's Photoshop thread titles (all on the first page):

Adobe Photoshop problem with license

I have bought Adobe Photoshop CS4 (box, license for 3 computers) in 2009. I've used it on two computers with activation, but one computer had formating, and second I've lost. I don't know how to 'unactivate' them now, and when I trying to activate product on my actual computer - it says that all license keys are in use. I have whole box and papers, even facture as a proof for purchase. What I should do?

Here on this forum we can not help you because where are not employees of Adobe. The best is to contact adobe and explain the problem:

Downloading Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended License with no internet connection

My office needs to purchase four (4) Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Licenses for four separate/independent computers. These computers in no way can access the internet to download.
I am told by resellers that CD disks are not available for the download, is this correct?
Also, the resellers are telling me that I can purchase a media kit for the download. My question is can 1 media kit complete all four downloads or would I be required to purchase 4 media kits. We are receiving different responses from the resellers we have contacted.
Appreciate your time,
Stephanie Murphree
Contracting Officer

You can download and burn the trial of Photoshop CS6 to disc or you can purchase one physical copy of the software. The installer does not count how many times you install. The serial number you receive with your purchase is what allows you to license and utilize your software.

Acrobat Pro IX License was activated and was working fine. Then it stop working application would not launch. I

My Acrobat Pro IX license was activated and was working fine. Then the application stop launching after an update was by Adobe. After a while I uninstalled the application successfully, logged on to my adobe account, viewed past purchases, re-downloaded the application successfully, activated the license and entered my serial number. The next day I get a pop up message that my trial licenses is set to expire in 29 days. I clicked again to activate my license and this time, the message stated that the license for serial number has been revoked.
How do I resolve this matter?

How to identify the Photoshop Trial or Licensed version installed, only through files/registry ?

Hi,
Please help me out here.
I need to identify the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Trial installation to that of fully purchased/licensed installation,
only using files/registry entries.
Thanks in Advance.

To back up what Mylenium said you can take the trial download and insert your s/n of the purchased copy and it will be a fully licenced copy.
If you had a trial and let it expire you should uninstall it. I am just guessing, but if you see it in your program list and open it should be obvious if trial or not. Uninstalled trials can cause Bridge to have error "need to activate from parent program".

Can't install Photoshop Elements 11 licensed version because of trial version

I can't install Photoshop Elements 11 licensed version because of trial version that is still on my computer and is not being completely uninstalled. The intended folder to install has some files remaining from the trial version, and this prevents the licensed version from installing. The intended folder from teh installer is Program Files (x86)/Adobe, but that has the trial version still there, which will not completely uninstall.

Hi Steve,
Are you getting error message while installation.

10G license installation on ME 3600X

Hello colleagues,
Could you please help me with one small question. I'm installing 10G license on ME-3600X-24FS-M. This is what I've got before installation:
Switch# sh license
Index 3 Feature: 10GEUpgrade
        Period left: 8 weeks 4 days
        License Type: Evaluation
        License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA not accepted
        License Count: Non-Counted
        License Priority: None
Switch#
After the license was installed:
Switch#sh license
Index 3 Feature: 10GEUpgrade
        Period left: Life time
        License Type: Permanent
        License State: Active, Not in Use
        License Count: Non-Counted
        License Priority: Medium
Switch#
My question is - why license state is Not in Use. There is no sfp+ installed in the switch. Could this be the reason?
Kind regards,
Oleg Krasnov

The problem is this:
The output is quite misleading on the 3600’s              .
It’s says evaluation and not in use.

Adobe CS2 Installation, activation and using

Adobe Sucks! Now that I have got that out of my system! Yes it is my Fault! Here is the problem.
Adobe makes great products that are over priced. (Creative Suites-$2500.00 Retail even upgrades)
CS2, Yes it is an older version. Still is a fine product. Original computer that had CS2 installed, finally bit the dust and went to Electronic waste recycle. New computer (Windows XP Sp3-Got Windows XP just to run Adobe CS2)
Installation of SW completed wiht no errors. Installation activation complete with no errors. Run In Design - "Personalize Your Software" window appears and asks for input of serial number. Input serial number (as on Box, CD, etc.) error message states "Serial number entered is not Valid. Please check and re-enter" It is correct and valid serial number. program closes. When runing Photoshop first screen appears with error box stating "Photo Shop can not find valid Serial Number" Same serial number entered during installation and activation of software package. Called Adobe on phone - on hold for 1.5 hours listening to elevator music. Contacted on line chat for help. They said that the problem could be resolved only on the phone. Called on phone again. This time was able to talk to Adobe Technical Rep. All I heard was "CS2 is to old and not supported by Adobe". Buy a new package ($2,500.00) again. No discount for upgrade. No on line Adobe support, No phone Adobe support, Sorry for the inconvience Adobe Support. Can anyone help make Adobe CS2 work? or Do I throw it away and write off Adobe as a Software company and find someone else?

Jungle Rot please see Error: "...user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid..." when you start Photoshop (CS2 on Windows) - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-user-name-organization-or.html. There are several steps which should help you solve for this issue.
