Registration from within the product doesn't work?

Hi!
I bought a pre-installed license of photoshop and acrobat with my computer. I registered both products to my Adobe ID when I started the programs for the first time.
But only Photoshop 11 shows up there and now shows me a serial number of the product.
The Acrobat program works fine and seems to be registered (at least it doesn't ask for registration anymore), but doesn't show up in my account.
So I don't get a serial number this way. The seller (Sony Online Store) tells me that they don't hand out any serial numbers since the pre-installed programs are supposed the register automatically (as photoshop indeed did).
I tried to get help from Adobe Support, but they just keep asking me about the serial number ... instead of telling me how to get it ... or why the registration from within the product works fine for one product but not for the other.
So what can I do?
Cheers,
Martin

You might check with the Kim Komando site about reading your SN. It is strange that Sony will not give it to you. If you ever have to reinstall it, you will need the SN. Also, I recommend you backup the installation file for these programs (you may have to download the trials) so that you have them for the future. It may be that they are on a CD or separate HD partition and that would be fine. However, it is always a good idea to have a backup of software you own for any time you need to reinstall for some reason (if you read the posts on this forum very much, you find a lot of folks reinstalling or trying to find the software they did not backup so they can reinstall on a new computer or replacement HD after a crash).

    Yay for ineffective crossposting... https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153461
    Exporting functions is recommended in the parallel man page.
    The command must be an executable, a script, a composed command, or a function. If it is a function you need to export -f the function first. An alias will, however, not work (see why http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=484296).
    Also, how is this a cross post?  The post you referenced is about parsing input, this one is about calling a function from within the parent script.

  • Licensing of my Adobe products "doesn't work anymore"; errorcode 150:30

    Is this the technical support of Adobe? If so, I have a question (if not: where and how can I find it?): I use the German version of the Creative Suite 4 on a Mac OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2). After regenerating a Time Machine backup I couldn't open the suite's programs anymore.
    The first days an error message kept telling me I needed to install a Java SE 6-Runtime-version, but unfortunately I didn't have Internet so couldn't do anything but wait to get my new internet contract. When I had internet again, a newer Java update (version 1.6.0_43 instead of SE 6; I can't find SE 6 to download, if this should be necessary) obviously was installed automaticly, but instead of the first error message I now always get a window telling me the licensing of the product doesn't work anymore. It tells me to relaunch the computer and if this doesn't solve the problem (which it doesn't), I shall consult the technical support of Adobe and indicate the errorcode 150:30. Can you tell me what do do? Thanks in advance!
    Theo

    Hi verwirrt,
    Error 150:30 usually comes up if you use timeline or any other software to migrate the files from the older Mac to the newer one or in case of licensing issues.
    If you have used a migration software to transfer the files then it's not recommended.
    Please remove the files and reinstall CS4 from the disk.
    Moreover Photoshop CS4 has not been tested on Mac 10.8.2 and you might face compatibility issues.
    Further if you have installed the software from the disk and did not transfer the files from the older mac to the new please refer to the steps mentioned in the Kb doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac- os.html
    And if you do not have the disk to reinstall the software, then please download from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here. html
    But make sure you follow the important instructions on the page before initiating the download.

  • Just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion. Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help.

    I just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion.  wiped the computer clean and started fresh Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help. in Looking for help I was directed here. what do I do?

    I don't know enough to not follow directions. I bought the software brand new in a sealed from factory box. Had it sitting around until - last week when I deleted flash on my computer and had to upgrade to the new OSX. Mountain Lion doesn't use iPhoto - so I had to go with something else. Since I already had this new - unopened package  I opened it up. Shut down all running programs - inserted the disk and followed all the directions for installation.  Still it didn't work.
    I have now uninstalled it (the proper way) and am going to try again.
    I appreciate your responses.
    Thank you!
    If this doesn't work - I am going to just buy Lightroom.

    Thanks anyway for your help.
    But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
    Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

  • Why can't Firefox still not show a pdf properly from within the browser and do we need insufficient and not working add-ons?

    I never succeeded to show a pdf properly in the Firefox browser.
    There is an add-on, but the add-on itself tells you already in most cases that you should download the pdf because it can't show the pdf properly. I can't understand why that is! It makes my live much more complicated, since we have an application running that constantly should be able to show pdf's from within the browser.

    The add-on you are talking about is pdf.js. pdf.js does it best to show you what the pdf's it is given are, but pdf.js is not 100% compatible with all elements that can be put inside a pdf. Another problem pdf.js faces is that many pdf's generated with proprietary software either do not conform to the pdf spec or use proprieatary elements that only pdf readers that the company has designed or partnered with can interpret. I promise you Mozilla doesn't want your life to be any more complicated than it is but sometimes it is simply not possible for pdf.js to read a document when the manufacturer of the program that generated the pdf doesn't play by the rules.

  • My ipod touch 3G the bottom doesn't work. How do i fix it?

    Everything on the top works. From the bottom, its slowly moving up. now i'm not able to slide to unlock it.

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
    Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
    Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
    What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
    And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

  • Find out current old heap usage from within the process

    Hello!
    We use the CMS garbage collector and need a way to find out how much memory is used of the old heap by reachable objects. This we have to do from within the process (not using jvmstat or jstat etc.).
    Since there is no way to distinguish between reachable and non-reachable objects (except for traversing the entire heap... -- or are there other possibilities?) our idea is to get the amount of used memory right after a garbage collection in the old heap.
    Using Java 1.5, this can be done by
    java.lang.management.MemoryPoolMXBean pool = <Pool for Old Generation>;
    pool.getUsage().getUsed();However, java.lang.management is only available in Java 1.5.
    Therefore my first question: Is there a similar way of finding out old heap usage in Java 1.4?
    There is another problem with this method: By calling pool.getUsage().getUsed();, one has to know when a GC has occurred (this could be done by calling it in an interval of x seconds -- if the current value is lower than the one before, a GC must hava occurred). A better way would be to use pool.getCollectionUsage().getUsed();, but this seems not to work for the CMS collector.
    Second question: Is pool.getCollectionUsage().getUsed(); really not working with CMS, or are we just doing it in a wrong way? Are there other ways of finding out the used memory in the old heap after a GC even when using the CMS?
    Thanks for any help!
    Regards,
    Nicolas Michael

    Hi Nicolas,
    There is no API in 1.4 to get the after GC memory usage of the old generation. The only thing close to it is (Runtime.totalMemory - Runtime.freeMemory) but it is the approx amount of memory used for the heap (not just the old generation).
    MemoryPoolMXBean.getCollectionUsage() returns the after GC MemoryUsage. This method should work for all collectors. I have a simple test case that shows it working fine with CMS. It shows the same value as the -XX:+PrintGCDetails shows.
    If you have a test case showing that this method doesn't work correctly, please submit a bug along with the test case. We'll investigate it.
    Thanks

  • Count(*) in the loop doesn't work and I really don't know why...

    Hello,
    I can't figure out why the following doesn't work. I cannot debug for I do not have privileges on this server.
    The execution always fails on bolded line. If I substitute the variable with the table name itself it works. The variable is properly populated in each of the iterations as I can see it by using dbms_output package. The small but may be important detail may be I am connected as user A but the tables are in the schema B. However I can list the tables and their columns in all_tab_cols view and there are synonyms made in my schema which allow me to access the B tables without prefixing them.
    I get the error:
