Photoshop license count

Photoshop license count: In a corp environment (product purchased thru 3rd party vendor) if a developer has 2 laptops, 1 32 bit and 1 64 bit, has an instance of Photoshop on each, is that considered consuming 1 license or 2?

I've little familarity with corporate / group licensing, but I can anticipate one or two questions you might have to answer to someone in the know... How does the licensing process identify users?
Specifically, does the one developer log in with the exact same ID on both systems?

New hard drive and photoshop license problem

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 2 GB of RAM, and Win Xp/Pro SP3.
The hard drive in this computer failed, and it has been replaced. I used an image backup from Acronis True Image 10 to "restore" the new disk.
Now, when I try to open Phostoshop CS2, I receive a message that the license is no longer valid (I have been using this version of Photoshop for a long time).
I don't have this problem with InDesign CS3 (v. 5.0.2), FrameMaker 7.2b144, or Acrobat 8.1.6.
I didn't find any helpful info on the "Product Activation" web page.
I tried a forum search and a search of Adobe.com using the search criteria "new hard drive and photoshop license problem."
The only relevant item I could find is this:
"Backup and restoration of your system using standard tools do not require reactivation. While reactivation after backing up or restoring the system was required in early versions of Adobe software (such as Adobe Photoshop® CS), Adobe has continued to improve the activation process with new technology that eliminates the need to reactivate after system restoration. In complex situations where the system is being upgraded, we recommend deactivating the Adobe software before commencing the system upgrade. Once the system upgrade is completed, the subsequent install/restore will require reactivation, which is typically accomplished without difficulty and is completely transparent to the user."
So does that mean I have to "reactivate" Photoshop CS2? If so, do I use the Activation window that is displayed when I open Photoshop? The serial number has 20 characters. Will the Adobe (re)activation recognize this old serial number? If not, what do I have to do to get this product usable again?
Please help.

>replaced your hard drive and CS2 DRM is looking for the old hard drive number and not finding it
Interesting... I use http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm which creates a bootable CD and runs outside of Windoze
I have made image files and loaded those files to a new hard drive (I use drive swap hardware to make a backup and create a new drive every time I install or uninstall major software) and have never had any program complain about needing activation
But, since the program I use is Linux on a bootable CD, it copies EVERYTHING on a hard drive, even the hidden registration areas as far as I can tell, so when I do a restore to a new drive, everything is put on the new drive

There is no free version of CS2. There is only a special version of CS2 available for people who purchased it and need to reinstall it.

What is license count of installing or use O365 Pro plus software per user for Bussiness

Hi All,
Today in our office given demo of Office 365 usages and license details , but i am little bit confused on licensing.
They told we can use Office 365 Pro Plus software into 15 Device ( 5 Windows PC + 5 MAC + 5 Mobile or Tablets).
I refereed this below link as well
http://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-proplus-business-software
[Enjoy a consistent and familiar Office experience across PCs, Macs, Windows tablets, iPads®, and most mobile devices.
Each user can install Office on 5 PCs or Macs, 5 Windows tablets or iPads, and 5 phones.]
Is anyone confirm this is true, is Microsoft increased the license count of 5 (it could be any devices, at max we can use my O365 ID 5 times to install and activate) to 15.
and this from FAQ session:
What is Office 365 Pro Plus?
Office 365 ProPlus is one of the subscription service plans in the new Office. It is productivity software (including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, and Lync) that is installed on your desktop or laptop computer. Office 365
ProPlus is a user-based service that allows people to access Office experiences on up to 5 PCs or Macs and on their mobile devices. Traditional Office installations were tied to the computers they were installed on. Office 365 ProPlus enables flexible new
deployment options that IT and/or individual users can choose from to install Office.
Thanks,
Thanks & Regards, Kesa_Kara

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, it's not 5 Windows PC + 5 MAC but 5 Windows PC or 5 MAC. To confirm the information, you can contact the customer service:

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

How to do a Portal License count?

Hi All
We are currently running Portal 7.00 SP13 and it is that time of year where we have to perform our license count. In our ECC6 system we can just going into SU01 and get the information here, however I am not sure if this is the same process in the portal!
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
I guess the Portal licences are free with the enterprise suite unless ofcourse you have ESS/MSS for which the count is defined in the SU01 ( licence tab, there is a different licence type for ESS users) in R3.

Exceeding ISE license counts - performance consequences?

Hello,
I have a customer that is running a 2-node ISE deployment and is licensed for 250 Base and 250 Adv. users.
We have moved the wired users over in one of their offices into Monitor Mode only, and the Base/Adv. Active license counts have exceeded both these values.
Long-term, what is the operational impact?
I understand from Chapter 7 of the ISE User Guide that "To avoid service disruption, Cisco ISE continues to provide services to endpoints that exceed license entitlement. Cisco ISE instead relies on RADIUS accounting functions to track concurrent endpoints on the network and generate alarms when endpoint counts exceed the licensed amounts"
My question is, that aside from a scenario where TAC is engaged and they see the license count exceeded, what is the operational and functional impact of exceeding the license count. I know that ISE continues to process autthentications, because the 251st client is not refused access.
I've read the Order Guide and the User Guide and the Hardware Guide, and no actual impact is mentioned.
thanks in advance,
Andrew

I had a similar question. I asked how does ISE calculate users. In the wlc I would see 10k radius clients but ISE would show half that number. This is what I was told:
Unfortunately there is no documentation on it. The active endpoints are calculated from the active sessions seen on the primary monitoring node session database, meaning active client sessions seen by PSNs and reported to the primary monitoring node. As to the rules that qualify an endpoint as active, there isn?t really even any internal documentation on that. The effective behavior seen indicates that this is calculated by endpoints who authenticate and continue to re-authenticate/periodically trigger accounting updates from NADs. Hopefully this helps!

Prime 1.3: incorrect MSE license count

Hello!
I have the following equipment for the WiFi infrasrtucture
Prime NCS (1.3)
MSE 3355 (7.4.100.0)
WLC 5508 (7.4.100.0)
The problem is that Prime 1.3 incorrectly displays MSE wIPS Monitor Mode APs license count.
I have 20 monitor mode LAPs, but Prime displays only one LAP under MSE wIPS Monitor Mode APs count. In addition this one LAP is not in monitor mode.
The wIPS Monitor Mode APs license (AIR-WIPS-AP-25) is permanent.
At first MSE had been shipped with 7.2.110 with preinstalled wIPS license and then was uprgaded to 7.4.100.
MSE and WLC are synced.
I tried to change the modes for these LAPs from monitor to local and backwards, but had no luck.
Has anyine faced this problem?

Thank you, Scott!
This is really, confusing, because there is no exact information about it in documentation.
In conclusion (correct me, if I am wrong):
MSE 7.4 supports the old AIR-WIPS-AP-25 license, but doesn't display it in proper way. This situation is normal and it should be so.

UC560 - license counts and end-of-sale for license upgrades?

One of our customers would like to keep their UC560 system in production for awhile, but we may need to add licenses.
First, with the UC560 now past end-of-sale, how long will we be able to buy license upgrades? I could not find any information when I tried searching. It looks like the distributors are still selling L-UC-PRO-8U=.
Second, how does Cisco count the UC560 licenses? (I'm sure I knew this when I went through the training courses.) Here is their current license summary:
#show platform software license
License UDI                  : UC560-FXO-K9:...
Maximum User Licenses        : 40
Used User Licenses           : 24
Available User Licenses      : 16
Base License                 : 24
CSL Base License             : 16
Max number of upgrade PAK allowed: 13
In one post, I read that the license count was based on the number of ephones. Based on this report, it looks like only registered ephones are being counted. It doesn't look like floating extensions or extension mobility user profiles count against the "Used User Licenses" total. Does that sound right?
Thanks! -dpm

Adobe doesn't care, they don't have to. I like Phsotoshop and have been using it professionally for 20 years, but lets face it, I wouldnt mind some really good competition from another source. It didnt use to be the only game in town, and doesnt have to remain so.
I could brainstorm how I would want competing software to look like. Pshop is not the easiest workflow possible. Illustrator is clearly deficient to even CorelDraw, and certainly Freehand. I've been meaning to reconnect with CorelDraw. It did some cool things.
Google Chrome is pulling a lot of manoevers software wise and I hope they try to go a little deeper and give Adobe a run for their money on the one program they feel justifies unbelievable gouging. Go investigate Ableton Live if you want to see what a company that cares about its customers is doing, ADOBE. Audition is a JOKE compared to Ableton Live. Thank God we're not powned on the audio side by these suits.
The idea that a company would peddle buggy software, which CS4 was..., although some of that was Apple's fault, is bad, the upgrade prices were ridiculous, and this is the end of the road for me currently. The idea that a company would actively
push away customers is pretty incredible. "But I sent you an email!" Whoops, you gotta pay $1900 for production premium CS6! HAHAHAHAHA. Time for a YT video with my old hard copy box. Sounds like a good idea.
There are too many options on the motion graphics side, and I'll keep a static machine to run Pshop and AE CS4.
The masters of the universe will have theit way, and the rest must bow to their ambivalent greed. At least that's the way they think. It would seem that Adobe and Apple really, really want some upstarts to come up. Maybe $360 for a year to figure out an exit might work. It will be interesting to see if this hits earnings. VERY interesting.

Where is Photoshop license?

A former employee had Photoshop installed on his MacbookPro (OS X 10.4). It seems Photoshop has been deleted from /Applications, but I know it was installed on here at one time. (Adobe Bridge CS3 is still there.) Our office has a limited number of Photoshop licenses, and we need to deactivate the one that was installed on this Mac before we can use it on another laptop. So, how do I find where that license is?
I've found several possible clues like:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/installers/(long string of numbers and letters)/payloads/AdobePhotoshop10en_US/AdobePhotoshop10en_US.proxy.xml
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply Buko!
Let me make sure I'm understanding you correctly: If I download and install a demo version of Photoshop on the old laptop that had Photoshop installed on it previously, then the demo version of Photoshop will detect and display the old license number?
If so, where in the newly installed Photoshop will I find the license, and does it matter which demo version of Photoshop I install?
Thanks!

Photoshop License Add-on Question

Our Graphics Department has Photoshop licenses. I am a writer and frequently need to edit text in documents, but do no designing. Is there an add-on license to Photoshop that would allow text-only changes? We're having a hard time justifying the cost of new, full licenses. Also, what is your experience with the add-on license? What benefits/restrictions does the license have?

There's no such thing as a restricted access "add-on" license as far as I know.

Adobe Photoshop license - thinapp

Does the Adobe Photoshop license allow thinapping the software? If so can the software be thinapped?

Chances are that no fellow user here on the forum is going to be able to help you.
You really need to contact Adobe Customer Support for activation issues.
Some people - and I'm not saying this has necessarily happened to you - have been bitten by scams where they bought counterfeit software and originally got bogus serial numbers which worked at the time, but have since been blacklisted by Adobe. I sincerely hope this is not what happened to you.
Good luck with Adobe Customer Support. I've always found them helpful with regard to activation issues.

Forcing inactive agents off system to free up license count.

Gents,
My customer has limited licenses and doesn't want to buy any more ! He has a problem in that the staff are spread over 8 sites and some just don't bother to logout of the system. If they miss a call, their state changes to Not Ready, but they still use a license count so that every so often, other agents at other sites can't logon.
I know that the re is a system parameter which can set a max session time, default 30 ins, but this doesn't seem to log them out altogether and release the license count.
Can any of you guys tell me what I'm doing wrong, of if there is a way to do this?
Many thanks
Chris

On a related topic.
I don't use Express, but I do use CAD with UCCE. If you go into Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\bin and run ShowLicenseUsage.exe, it lists the IP addresses of those agents using a license.
My testing on UCCE demonstrated that even when logged out, a CAD license is in use. At least, the IP address shows in this list. Only when the user closes CAD does the IP address disappear.
Have you experienced this?
Regards,
Geoff
