RE: the "De activating / un registering cs2..." thread

I'm not 100% sure a lecture about piracy and legal use is called for in this case, and here's why:
I
specifically
called Adobe Customer Support for something almost exactly like Mitch is describing. It's hard to say if it's truly, exactly the same situation because of the lack of details.
Story continued in the first reply...

Continued from above...
My situation:
I do work for my brother's real estate business. He lives almost 300 miles away from me. I use Illustrator quite a bit in these jobs, and am generally very happy with my version 8. I can do everything I really need to do for him.
My brother has bought and installed the one of the CS3 suites, which includes Illustrator CS3, of course. He mostly uses Photoshop, InDesign and Acrobat. He very rarely uses Illustrator, because he doesn't really have the time to learn it, but he has it so he can do a few thingsmaybe once or twice a yearopen files I send him, poke around a bit, etc. Most often, when I send him my AI8 files he just places them in InDesign, and goes from there.
There are features in Illustrator CS3 that would occasionally be very helpful to me in the work that I do for him. But not really so often that I can justify buying it. Let's ignore for a minute that I could write it off as a business expense, because I'm a basket case when it comes to organizing stuff like that. :)
About 6 months ago, I called Adobe Customer Support, and told them with 100% honesty the working situation I have with my brother's business as I've just described. Then I asked them this:
My brother's business owns 5 desktop macs and 3 laptop macs. Since my brother very rarely uses AI CS3, and only has it installed on his one desktop system, and since I am the primary Illustrator user for his company, is it within the T.O.S. for him to send the install disk to me so that I can install AI CS3 on my system and be considered the LEGAL 2nd installation for his license?
Answer from Adobe Customer Support (after about 5 minutes, while he asked someone, or researched the legality):
"Yes, you may do that."
I spent another 10 minutes talking with the C.S.R., asking the same question every possible way, confirming that it's legal, that it isn't in violation of the T.O.S. and E.U.L.A., and that it wouldn't put either of us in jeopardy for some mysterious de-authorization sometime in the future, or that it wouldn't jeopardize his ability to upgrade to newer versions of the Suite.
I
really
grilled the guy about these things, because I wanted to be completely above board about everything, and he continually reassured me that what I was asking about was COMPLETELY cool by Adobe.
So far as of the time of this post, I haven't reminded my brother to send me the installation disk in the mail; that should tell you that I really don't have a pressing need for the newer features in AI CS3. But if I did, all indications are that my installing it on my system as the 2nd activation on his license is legal.
Soooo...Whether there are any details that Mitch left outor is fudging onin the other thread, we can't know, unless he replies to this thread. And if he replies with more details, we can't
truly
know whether he's telling the full truth.
But, I had to post about my experience just to show that we ought to be a little careful, we should know all the facts and we should assume nothing before we brand a visitor here as a pirate and therefor undeserving of help.

De activating / un registering cs2 from my mac

Hi all
Hope someone can help here. . .
My friend installed cs2 on my mac and im the second user for his cd.
He now wants me to delete it off my mac as he wants to use it himself and has asked me to unregister it.
I have dragged everything from applications relating to cs2 into the bin and emptied it but it seems i still need to deactivate it.
How do i do this as i have nothing on my mac relating to cs2 anymore?
Many thanks
Mitch

Mitch,
>My friend installed cs2 on my mac and im the second user for his cd.
As Jim is saying: that's illegal; a.k.a. piracy. Please understand that you cannot install software registered for one person on someone else's machine. The intent of Adobe's "two computer activation" is so that the
same user has the convenience of using his legally obtained and licensed software non-simultanously on his home/office/laptop computers without having to pay for a second license.
As your installation contravenes that use, and the purpose of support in these forums, no further assistance will be forthcoming.
However, once you're "legal", please feel free to return to discuss other Photoshop issues.

From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software. I registered and activated the software last year. When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet. I am connected. How do I get Editor to work?

You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them. This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website. This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy. I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once. The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

Server 2012 R2 - The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter

We seem to be having an issue recently after introducing new Windows Server 2012 R2 servers where they fail to register DNS correctly. The Windows Firewall is off and the servers are on the same VLAN with no firewalls between them.
When I do an ipconfig /registerdns or wait 24 hours for the system to try we get the following error:
The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {4A0ECF05-193F-4BEA-AA46-BEC593BA752B}
Host Name : SRV-DATA
Primary Domain Suffix : internal.local
DNS server list :
192.168.0.50, 192.168.0.42
Sent update to server : <?>
IP Address(es) :
192.168.0.99
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the DNS server contacted refused the update request. The reasons for this might be (a) you are not allowed to update the specified DNS domain name, or (b) because the DNS server authoritative
for this name does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol.
To register the DNS host (A or AAAA) resource records using the specific DNS domain name and IP addresses for this adapter, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.
On our DNS server we have set for the internal.local zone Secure Updates only so that looks good because it is Active Directory that should be handling this authentication to update the record I assume. Just to mention that when also doing an ipconfig /regsiterdns
the update fails within a few seconds.
Source: DNS Clients Events
Event ID: 8018
User: NETWORK SERVICE
This issue is only affecting Windows Server 2012 R2 clients and testing with Windows Server 2008 R2 clients works no issues. So is this a mis-configuration or a bug with Windows 2012 R2? I have checked all DNS settings on client / server which all look good
to me so reaching out now to see if anyone has any ideas?
Environment:
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Forest/Domain Levels 2012 R2)
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Client machines (Physical and Virtual)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Client machines (Physical and Virtual)

The zone is configured as "Secure Only"
The PDC is the SOA for the zone
I dont have a packet capture from the DC, only the client.
The query you asked me to run is too long to paste in here, however this is the DNS zone it cannot update:
NotifyServers :
SecondaryServers : {10.2.0.3, 10.2.0.5}

Trying to load illustrator 6cs onto new mac and the old activation code for my ill cs doesn't work with it

Trying to load a downloaded version of illustrator 6cs onto new mac and the old activation code for my illustrator cs doesn't work with it. Do I need a new code or am I missing something? Same goes for my Photoshop cs.

you need your serial number.
if you purchased from or registered with adobe check your account, https://www.adobe.com/account.html

Acrobat XI Pro Installed, Activated, Cannot Register

Acrobat XI Pro (Mac) was purchased, installed (a valid license key was entered at time of installation), and activated. I did not register it at the time of installation because I did not then have the Adobe ID available. I have subsequently attempted to register the installation with Adobe using the proper Adobe ID.
The first attempt was using the online registration page (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/gpr/index.cfm) but that link yields either a blank page (in Firefox, Safari) or a 404 error (in Internet Explorer) on every computer (Mac and PC) and browser on which I have attempted to use it. The link to that page came from Adobe - Product Registration Options.
Next I attempted to register from within the installed product. When I clicked on Help / Register, I received a message that my TRIAL would expire in 30 days! This would seem to me to indicate that the software was not activated even though I received an activation confirmation at the time I installed. When I used the option to enter the serial number, the window just closed without any other response and when I clicked Help / Register again, I got the same "trial will expire in 30 days" message.
This installation is for a public library, which obtained a download link and license key from Tech Soup, which is a highly reputable, legitimate organization providing limited quantities of reduced-cost software to qualified non-profit organizations. It is for a perpetual standalone license, and it was not installed using Creative Cloud.
I contacted Adobe Help via chat but they were not helpful.
Acrobat XI Pro also was installed and activated on three Windows 7 PCs at the same time. Other than the failed attempts to register online using the link above, I have not yet attempted to register them from within the software.

Yes, I installed 3 different valid license keys on 3 PCs and one valid license key on one Mac. Same problems originally described exist on all, except that I have subsequently been able to register all with Adobe. But I still have the bogus messages about my trial expiring in 30 days even though I installed with valid license keys and activation was confirmed at the time of installation.

I forgot my password along with the answers to my security questions. So I try sending an E-Mail to myself but the E-Mail I am sending it to isn't even mine, nor the one I have registered. How can I change the E-Mail or something?

Wrongly told by provider phone was unlocked...bought it...now how do I unlock it as vodaphone wont help but the phone is not registered as stolen or anything!!??please help..had it for a month now and they just wont help me!!

to cut a long story short. I was interested in an i-phone... got the details..checked them all.. on the phone and with the provider, VODAPHONE... told unlocked, not stolen etc etc. proceeded to buy the phone...new sim topped up £10 only to find it wouldn't work...
Went into vodaphone store..been running around following thier advice..(they said I need a friend who is a customer on vodaphone to get passed the unlocking with a vodaphone code.. and they would do it for free given the circumstances...so i run errands go back and forth doing as they asked...got nowhere) SO IT IS NOW A MONTH LATER..and after complaining and complaining to thier email site and repeatedly asking for help in store..I am stumped as what to do and just have a glorified ipod. I WILL NOT BE FORCED TO REMAIN ON THE VODAPHONE NETWORK given the situation they have put me in and thier unwillingness to help so i refuse to use the phone with vodaphone... BUT WHAT can i do PLEASEEEEEEE? all they keep on suggesting is that I get the original owners details but he is not answering anything...and the phone is not registered as stolen etc so what is the problem!?
As you can imagine I am really peeved by the whole thing as I actually carried out all the necessary checks, and whilst the phone was not bought directly from vodaphone, I went to them as the provider, to find otu about unlocking etc as it is always advised to do so..and it was them that gave me the wrong information but they still will not resolve the issue. I have even sent them phone records to confirm when I rung and the name of the invalid who told me the phone was unlocked in the first place. I really would much appreciate any help as they are ignoring my emails now.

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

Hi Adam,
The activation server for CS2 products is no longer available. You need to download and use the serial number from the below article.

m_logger.error("Error in " + FmkCommonUtilities.getCurrentMethodName(), t);
throw new EJBException(t.toString());
finally
// On libère la session.
if (session != null)
session.release();
I have the folowing behaviour:
- if the list of DTOStepTexte is not modified, everything is ok.
- if a new DTOStepTexte is added, everything is ok.
- if a DTOStepTexte is removed, I have the following exception on the mergeCloneWithReferences() call:

Can someone please tell me what is wrong in the way I use toplink ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Best regards.

What does the method DTOUtilities.setFromGetters(stepClone, step); do? If you are copying from step into stepClone you must ensure that all of the references from step are registered first. You should not need to perform this copy anyway as the mergeCloneWithReferences would have copied the data from step.

Troubles with the Notification Activity

Hi,
I have deployed process on my server. Whenever I instantiate it, it says:
"Cannot find the specified instance
If the instance has recently....." (Refresh doesn't help even after 10 minutes)
This problem disappear when I remove the notification activity from my process (I use email notification).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tavor

I'm pretty sure the notification service is a synchronous process so when you invoke it your bpel process will not dehydrate and therefore will not show up in the console.
I haven't tried this, but I'm pretty sure what's happening is that you're getting an exception somewhere in your process related to the notification activity and the thread is crashing without being saved to the dehydration store. Or it could be that the call to the notification service is hanging. One way to verify this is to put a "checkpoint" into your process prior to the notification activity. You should also turn on debug logging and check the log to see if there are errors occurring there.
To create the checkpoint add a java exec activity to your process and enter enter the line
checkpoint();

Adobe won't give me an activation number for CS2 re-install

Ugh, I am not a happy camper since Adobe was purchased by Macromedia.
I switched from Quark to Indesign. From the very beginning there was an issue downloading the new product (CS2) Studio.
It took hours many hours to get the support I needed to acutally finally launch and use the product even though they had my money for 2 months.
I only use InDesign infrequently at home for a particular project.
Recently, when launching recently, there was a error message stating some fonts and CMAP was missing
and suggested that I reinstall the product. Ok, that happens, went through the long download process (9 files.)
When I reinstalled, a required activation number was needed to make the product launch. After several calls to India, then US and back to India, etc, being passed around I was on hold for a total of over an hour, Adobe tells me they no longer have the "patch" needed to activate the software package Indesign CS2 Studios and I must pay $500 of whatever the fee is for an update.
In short, They would not give me the required activation number to make the product work and said that I must upate a program that I originally paid $1200 for.
I have been purchasing software for many years and I must say this is a first. and ....excuse me but what a bunch of bull.
Sounds like Adobe has become way to big and more interested in the bottom dollar than decent customer support of thier products even in this down economical time.
If there is a way to activate this program that I purchased, please let me know. I guess going back to Quark is an option......

Wondering who to contact as I now spoken with 5 different customer service reps since the 30 day trial came to an end on our CS2 Design Premium package. We had to reinstall it when the computer's hard drive failed. 30 days ago we contacted support as we couldn't get it activated. Was told to expect an email within 48 hours. Never received it. The user forgot about, until he no longer could use the program - that was Friday. I spoke with 3 customer service reps that morning - including one supervisor who hung up on me mid-sentence. We were promised again that an email would be coming in 24-48 hours resolving our issue. Well, it's over 48 hours now, so I called again - had to speak with 2 reps again - the first one told me they no longer activate CS2 and my only option is to upgrade - not an option! (buggy program "upgrade", extremely slow and expensive!) - I asked how long ago they stopped sending out links - she said they stopped 3-4 days ago - how convenient! Why was I promised then? I asked to speak with a supervisor - she said I had to call back as he was on a call. I called back and spoke with another gentleman who even after reading my case number notes, and me explaining the situation, tried 2 times to activate it for me - of course it didn't work - he again promised me an email within 24 hours to get this activated - once again - I am NOT holding my breath and am absolutely fed up and disgusted with Adobe. Why can't this be resolved???? We cannot be forced into purchasing an inferior product that decreases our productivity because it is so buggy and bloated.

I need an activation number for CS2

I recently had computer virus, it closed all my programs and I need to re activate Photoshop CS2, but the activation is not working,says site down.
phone activation says I don't have enough activation numbers, but I have all the numbers.
very frustrating

Download and install a fresh, new non-activation copy of CS2 from
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Use the new serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number will not work.
