Plug-in licensing software

I continue to have trouble with the licensing software
I am using for my plug-in. Has anyone found a good solutiuon? for an Adobe plug-in?

Amazingly there are still quite a few photographers/shops around that don't have high end equipment, cranking out senior pictures on a couple of 3880s, with 2-3 macs/pcs using lower cost monitors.  I do the best I can to aim them at reasonable displays (stay away from Frys, procure monitors with ips panels, etc.) but they are reluctant to spend several grand for the premium stuff.
It might do some of you good to roam around the real world occasionally.

    Running into two problems:
      1.  Despite the product actually being used on some computers, Recently Used Apps (RUA) View shows no usage (none in other SW Metering views, either) and not sure what the issue is--SW and HW inventory are both working perfectly fine, as
    are the metering processes on the site server.  Gives me a lot of false positives for not being used.
      2.  Have found some cases in which a previous version was installed, and used, then later upgraded, but not used--however, seems no way to filter out just usage for the CURRENT version.  Have looked at comparing the SW File Version and the
    RUA.File Version, but they are often not identical, particularly if the product was patched.
    Is there a better way to determine usage, or a better custom report to use?
    Thanks.

    I'm cleaning up old post, did you figure this out, if so how?

  • PHOTOSHOP PLUG-IN OR SOFTWARE

    I need help finding somebody that can develop a plug-in or software program that will work with Photoshop CS4
    Basically it relates to loading an image, doing the RGB separations and then with a pattern already created with Photoshop we manipulate the RGB separations but it is time consuming. We need to develop something where we just load the image and the program does the rest. The end result is only a black and white file.
    I am based in San Diego, California.

  • Reader browser plug-in license

    Developing commercial website using Reader browser plugin displaying pdfs.
    Is this in violation of Reader use license?
    Have read but hoping for second opinion.

    Hi G,
    Lets try this. Install the LV71NPlugin file, in the attached image, in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins directory. I had to save the image with a different extension to be able to upload it to the forum so...
    1) Download the file
    2) Change the file extension from "abc" to "dmg"
    3) Copy LV71NPlugin to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Please let me know if this works for you.
    Thanks

  • Adobe acrobat 11 pro monthly subscription, keep getting license software window

    I am a single subscriber to acrobat 11 pro, every time I open a PDF I get a prompt to license the software, why?
    windows 7

    I don't have a better answer, unless you are not running it as the administrator so the activation is properly stored. Just to be sure, the activation is done in Acrobat itself and not by logging in to Adobe.com -- I am assuming you activate in Acrobat. If that is so, I am not sure what the problem may be and hopefully someone else will drop by with a solution.

  • Licensing Software Failure

    The computer my Photoshop CS3 was previously on is completely broken and my new computer doesn't have a CD drive.  I have tried to license the software using the serial number but it is saying that it is invalid.  How can I fix this?

    Contact support by web chat if you have serial number issues.

  • Determine if Freeware or Licensed software

    Is there a way to validate a software installed in a workstation if its a free ware or a licensed-required software?

    I think is the same question:

  • Java License Software Protection

    Hi guys.....
    I create a software, so I would like to create a license key control for it!!!! Are there any FREE Java Tool to do this?!!? Or anynoe could give me some idea about how to implement it!?!?
    Thanks all....
    Giscard

    I don't know of any free tools (but i haven't looked for any so there might be some). But it ain't difficult to write your own.
    1. Create a string, byte array, what ever you want to use with the information you need.
    2. encrypt this data with a punlic-key algorithem like RSA
    3. ship the private key with your program (you can even hardcode it in your code if you want) and let never ever anyone see the public key
    This way your program can decode the information but noone besides you can create a valid license file. Of course someone could "just" remove any license checks from your program. But there is no way how you could avoid this. You could try to make it more difficult but usually i wouldn't care about it. Most customers have better things to do than cracking your code. And for these 99.9% such a license file works fine enough

  • Trying to open Acrobat, it says I need to "license software", and enter serial

    I started the monthly subscription a few weeks ago, and used it fine for the first week. Now it is saying "my trial has expired" and I need to "license the software", and when I go to do that, it asks for a serial #. What serial #? This was a download for a monthly subscription, and it shouldn't be doing this, it's been less than 3 weeks since I downloaded it.

    Don't enter a serial, but nearby look for an option to sign in. Signing in is how it knows you have a subscription.

  • Can't access software from creative cloud-says license software???

    I am a creactive cloud user, but when I try to use my software it  say "your trial has expired" I am  logged in, but the only option it gives me is "License this software" what is the deal I am VERY frustrated!

    What happens when you click on "License the software"? Does the application launch or you get any activation error?
    Try clicking on "License the software" and it should work fine. If not, tell us the error message.
    Which application are you trying to open?

  • Which one contains License/Software ?

    Hi,
    Could someone, please, advice which one of the undermentioned SKUs
    contains software package, i.e. CD/DVD disk set ? Let me detail my queestions:
    - Is 'LIC-CM6.1-7835=' the only license paper with PAK number or it also includes DVD discs with CUCM's software ?
    - Does 'CM6.1-K9-380G4' contain only software package without PAK number ?
    LIC-CM6.1-7835= (License Unified CM 6.1 7835 Appliance, 2,500 seats)
    and
    CM6.1-K9-380G4 (SW Only, Unified CM 6.1 For HP DL380-G4 /1CPU or 7835-H1)
    Thank you.

    Hey Tobivan,
    Hope all is well my friend!
    The designation;
    SW = Application Software
    So the part with the CD/DVD set is;
    CM6.1-K9-380G4 (SW Only, Unified CM 6.1 For HP DL380-G4 /1CPU or 7835-H1)
    Hope this helps!

  • Repeatedly asked to license software after entering serial#

    Every time I use CS6 I get asked to license the software, I enter my serial#, it takes it, and then have no problems using CS6. Until I log in again and it starts all over..

    Sign in or activation errors
    If the info doesn't stick you might also want to check your user privileges, file permissions and security stuff...

  • License Software every time I run a Creative Cloud App?

    why does this happen? it may have started doing this maybe a week or two ago and i cant figure out whats wrong.
    every time i open up flash cs6 it asks me to license the software via signing in to my adobeID... whats happenin?

    I have the same problem
    I had to uninstall Photoshop CS6 because of Problems with Extension Manager.
    I installed Photoshop over the Appliacation Manager and updated it just after install.
    Now not my "simple" Photoshop starts-starting is Photoshop Extended in Trial Mode.
    I deactivate the product and have to start PS two times until the "license this product" comes up. I can login with my adobe id and license the product. But after some time not starting Photoshop or after a reboot this is gone and i have a trial version of the extended again and have to the steps again.
    I'm a little mad because i thought this problem had been fixed. Before uninstalling and installing Photoshop i didn't have this problem.
    I already deleted the entries of the Adobe PCD folder, with no luck.
    I hope there's a solution for this?!

  • OEM GRID Plug-Ins license

    Curious, has anyone seen anything from Oracle about licensing use of the plug-ins found on
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/extensions/index.html
    not talking about the licensing of GRID itself, that comes with licensing your database server and buying the performance packs, etc.
    but licensing to use the plug-ins such as the MS SQL Server, IBM DB2, IIS, etc. plug-ins
    the only thing it says on that URL is "Free Download"

    4 database licensing packs -
    Database Change Management Pack
    Database Configuration Pack
    Database Diagnostics Pack
