Replace one InDesign license key with another

I work for a software integration company that has helped a customer install InDesign CS 5.5 in a terminal server environment.
InDesign CS 5.5 was installed with a license key obtained from Adobe for X number of users.
Now the customer has obtained from Adobe a new license key for Y number of users.
I cannot find any information on this website or searching the wider web on how, exactly, to get this installation of InDesign CS 5.5 to run with the new license key instead of the old one.
Does anyone know how to do this?

As a practical matter, I don't think it matters too much. There's a certain amount of the "honor system" in volume licensing keys, and the real point is that you paid for the number of seats you are using. If the program doesn't complain about it, I would not spend too-too much time worrying about it.
It's not clear to me if your Y includes your X or not; that is, was X=100 and you added 200 seats and now X=100 and Y=200? Or X=100 and Y=300?
Volume licensing key activations aren't any different from regular license key activations, you can still uninstall (or deactivate, I believe) and install with a new key.
But your "terminal server" environment may complicate the situation if Y does not include X.  You could have two seperate installs of ID, or you could have ID installed with either X or Y but not both.
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

  • How can I replace one low quality source with another high quality one ?

    Am I really this dumb or is it really this hard ?
    I have one timeline / project / edit that essentially references one long source clip / event / file.
    I have a newer higher quality transcoded version of the same source and want to replace the original lower quality version and end up with the same edited result just with better quality images !?
    It's the same frame rate and image dimensions  but "relink" tells me the new file is not "similar" enough and won't do it !
    Why is this so hard ? Is there a way to export a good old fashioned edl and then just reconform using the new source ?
    What if I wanted to to replace low res offline footage with finished colour-corrected material and output a finished master - would that be this clueless as well ?
    Please let me know the problem is between the chair and the keyboard - not between the hard disk and the power cord !

    Guessing that when you created the higher quality media, it was done outside of FCP and probably changed some important metadata that the app is looking for. Or perhaps there is a difference between the original audio and the new audio.
    Anyway, Luis' advice about the replace edit seems like the easiest solution.

    The usual way to do offline online is within FCP – creating the proxies and then using Preferences to switch back to and from.
    If you sent it out for grading, the Relink should work fine. If you haven't seen this kb doc, it's worth reviewing.

  • Replace Temporary License Key with permanent Key

    Hi Folks,
    I have installed BOBJ and installed SAP integration Key on VMW with temporary SAP Integration kit Key. Integration is working fine and all the roles are imported from SAP BI to BOBJ.
    Now this Key has to expire after few days. I am to get permanent key for this SAP integration Kit.
    How can I replace this old temp key with the new key?
    Thanks,
    Bashir

    Hi,
    as mentioned above - for the server components >> BOE - you need to go to the Central Management console.
    For the client components such as Crystal Reports or the SAP Integration Kit you need to use the License manager

    Dear Customer Service Team,
    I bought a twelve-month Dreamweaver CC program with monthly payment that I have paid via bank transfer and there would be a question about the activation. How could I get the license key with which I can activate my account? I can not find it and now I only have access to the trial version.
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    Kind Regards,
    G. Zsolt

    There is no serial number require for Creative Cloud products, you may activate the products using your email address and password which is associated with Adobe. If your Dreamweaver asking for serial number, then make sure you are signing in with correct email address.

  • How to best take sections from one document to merge with another Indesign document

    I am looking for most efficient way to take a section from one document to merge with a section from another document?  We have a book that needs updating, taking a section from one document to merge into another.  We have typically copied and paste each page, but there are 20+ pages involved.  Does anyone have a better way?

    Open both documents.
    With source document active, In pages panel, select pages that are to be copied to the destination document
    Right Click (or use panel menu) and select Move Pages ...
    Double check that correct page range is noted

  • Office mac keeps asking for license key with fusion drive

    I'm posting this in case anyone else is having this trouble where Office for Mac 2011 keeps asking for the license key. I have a later 2013 iMac with Fusion drive and never have been able to use office on this computer without entering the key. In talking with Microsoft they removed office and all the files and reinstalled with no help. In speaking with Apple, they said there is a known issue with Microsoft Office and the Fusion drive and Microsoft is working on a patch. Evidently the fusion drive moves the files around and to Microsoft that looks like new hardware so it prompts for the key. Realy annoying! Microsoft

    I'm a certified Apple consultant and I recently hit this issue at an installation. On seven iMacs with the Fusion drive, I deleted the "Thunderbolt Bridge" interface from the Network System Preference. We then rebooted the computers, entered the product key one more time, and so far, the problem has disappeared and survives subsequent rebootings.
    Obviously, if you are frequently networking two Macs using Thunderbolt, this isn't a good long-term solution (though it is easily added back). However, it does appear to work. I have no sound theory as to why it works, except that Office might be interpreting the existence of that bridge as evidence that the software was copied onto a machine instead of properly installed. This is just a wild guess, though.
    I have no idea if it will work for others, but hey, the forums are for throwing out these ideas and seeing if one of them sticks for most people. So...there it is.

    Keep in mind that Unix servers are case sensitive, so index.html is not the same file as Index.html. Maybe that's part of your problem?

  • Replacing the Keyboard Keys With Another Language?

    Hello,
    It happens to be that I'd like to re-localize my MacBook. That's easy enough to do in software, but I'd actually like to change the hardware keys. What are my options, aside from stickers?

    I would not risk it until your computer is out of warranty. As far as I know, the keyboard is not considered a user replaceable part.

  • New iPad. I have 2 apple id's.iCloud doesn't sync one device with one id and ipad with another id.  How can I reconcile?

    Just bought new iPad.  Previously had iPod with one id.  Bought an iPhone and used another id.  Then bought an iPad and used the old iTunes id, not the new iPhone id, which had much on it.  We want all the stuff on iPhone (user id 2) on iPad (user id 1).  How do we reconcile?

    No.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    All content is forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.

  • Is there a good way to replace the "view cart" text with another text?

    I have this big issue i'm still stuck with, i hope someone can help me.
    I need to change the text "view cart" in the cart-summary module. I have learned that i can do this with javascript: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4409239#4409239
    But there are problems:
    When i use this javascript:
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script>
    $(function () {
      $(".cartSummaryLink").text("Afrekenen");
    $(function () {
      $(".cartLink").text("Winkelwagen is geleegd");
    </script>
    The "view cart" is replaced with "afrekenen".
    BUT:
    When i add another product in the large product layout the text "view cart" is back...
    When i delete a product in the cart  the "view cart" text is also back
    When i refres the page the "view cart" text is replaced again with "afrekenen"
    So i thought, to use some javascript to refresh the page when a product is added:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function AddProductExtras(){
    document.location.reload(true);
    </script>
    This works but you can see that the text changes from "afrekenen" to "view cart" and back to "afrekenen" Also the page is rebuild again which is not a very good solution.  So here are my questions:
    Is there a better work around?
    If not, is there a way that when a product is deleted in the cart the page can also be refreshed?
    Thanks,

    Hello Mario,
    Here's my site where i'm working on:
    http://grootaartseuronics.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
    The cartsummary module is located at the right sitebar.
    The code is:
    <div id="plh_winkelwagen">
    <div class="cart-summary">{module_shoppingcartsummary,vertical,}</div>
    </div>
    The CSS is:
    #plh_winkelwagen {
    float: right;
    width: 160px;
    height: 100px;
    margin: 20px;
    background-color: #FFC;
    background-image:url(../Images/Winkelmandje_nieuw_25.png);
    -webkit-border-radius: 15px; /* Safari */
    -webkit-border-radius: 15px; /* Safari */
    -moz-border-radius: 15px; /* Firefox */
    -moz-border-radius: 15px; /* Firefox */
    border-radius: 15px; /* CSS */
    border-radius: 15px; /* CSS3 */
    .shop-main .cart-summary {
    float: right;
    width: 40%;
    So with your solution I should remove the background plh_winkelwagen en create or put it in the a.cartsummarylink? Or should i keep the plh-winkelwagen and just add your solution. I can create a png the same size as the: winkelmandje_nieuw_25.png with the "afrekenen" text in it?
    Thanks,

  • Getting list of items from one table indirectly associated with another

    I have a database containing 3 tables. One is a list of employees, one is a list of companies that are clients and another is the projects each employee is working on. The projects table is the only connection between the employee and the company. An employee is working on a project for a specific company. I need to find a list of companies someone is working for given the employee's ID. How would I do this? I've done direct queries before, but never anything that involves going through another table. I have an explanation of my tables below.
    Employee ------------- Project ----------- Company
    Name ------------------ Name --------------- Name
    ID -------------------> EmployeeID
    ------------------------ CompanyID ----------> ID

    I did something like this..It works for MS Access 2000 but not SQL Server 2000. (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=48&thread=270102)
    What I have is one main table, joined to 3 other tables, and each one of them have one category in common, and they are in a many-to-one relationship with the main table.
    The Function category in the main table is the same as the Function_Name category in the others
    For ex)
    Main Table
    Function Description Context Actions Notes
    sample blah blah blah blah
    Table 1
    Function_Name ArgName ID
    sample x 1
    sample y 2
    Table 2
    Function_Name Return_Codes ID
    sample z 1
    sample m 2
    sample n 3
    Table 3
    Function_Name Function_Called ID
    sample t 1
    What i needed to do was retrieve all these records from the different tables if I only had the value to the Name field.
    This is the code I used:
    <code>
    String dataSourceName = "<fill in your dataSourceName>";
    String dbURL = "jdbc:odbc:" + dataSourceName;
    try{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    }catch (Exception e){System.out.println("Couldn't connect to driver.");}
    try{
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, "","");
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    //gui3.staticName is the data in the Function or Function_Name Field
    ResultSet result = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM function_description WHERE (((Function)='"+ gui3.staticName + "'));");
    while(result.next()){
    function.setText(result.getString("Function"));
    description.setText(result.getString("Description"));
    notes.setText(result.getString("Notes"));
    actions.setText(result.getString("Actions"));
    context.setText(result.getString("Context"));
    ResultSet result2 = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Return_Codes FROM return_code_description WHERE (((Function_Name)='"+ gui3.staticName + "')) ORDER BY Return_Codes ASC;");
    while(result2.next()){
    rCodes.addElement(result2.getString("Return_Codes"));
    ResultSet result3 = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT ArgName FROM Arg WHERE (((Function_Name)='"+ gui3.staticName + "')) ORDER BY ArgName ASC;");
    while(result3.next()){
    args.addElement(result3.getString("ArgName"));
    ResultSet result4 = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Function_Called FROM Function_Called WHERE (((Function_Name) = '"+ gui3.staticName + "')) ORDER BY Function_Called ASC;");
    while (result4.next()){
    fcall.addElement(result4.getString("Function_Called"));
    }catch (SQLException e) {System.out.println(e.getMessage());}
    </code>
    So when you get the ID can't you Select the data from the products table that matches it, and then take the Name field for that and search for it in the Company table? I think you can do embedded search statements. another way would be
    Select <blah>
    while(result.next)
    Select <blah>
    hope this helps

  • Autofill primary key with another field

    I have 2 fields:
    DISTRIB_CODE ex. ABC
    DISTRIBUTOR ex. ABC COMPANY
    I want the DISTRIB_CODE to be the primary key, but I cannot do that because DISTRIB_CODE occasionally changes. So, I think I thought of a way to work around it:
    DISTRIB_ID (PK constraint)
    DISTRIB_CODE (Unique Key constraint) ex. ABC
    DISTRIBUTOR ex. ABC COMPANY
    I want DISTRIB_ID to auto-fill when I enter a code into DISTRIB_CODE.
    Example: When I enter "ABC" into DISTRIB_CODE I want DISTRIB_ID to auto-fill with "abc".
    Can this be done? Are there any negatives of doing this? I am a BEGINNER, so please be detailed.
    Thank you.

    Hi James,
    I appreciate that using a sequence based primary key is not the same as an updatable one. However, if the PK is updatable and is intended for use elsewhere within the database as a foreign key, you would also need to have cascade-update switched on to ensure that all child tables are updated with any new value. The only thing that you would need when using a sequential PK is a unique constraint on the distrib_code field to ensure that duplicates are not possible.
    Additionally, if the PK remains updatable, using javascript to populate it based on the second field would only be part of the process as you would still need item or page validation to ensure that it is unique before attempting to write the data into the table.
    So, I think it would be easier all round if the PK was numeric and sequential, the distrib_code column had a unique constraint defined on the table and that there is item or page validation that checks for duplicates and returns user-friendly messages to the user.
    Regards
    Andy

  • Is there any way to replace a cisco Line card with another Model?

    We bought a Cisco line card WS-X4648-RJ45-E for Cisco 4507 R-E. Later on I found that this module is not working with the chassis becuase supervisor engine 4 we are using. Supervisor Engine 6 is required for WS-X4648-RJ45-E. Now I want to go for WS-X4548-RJ45. Is it possible to return the line card? Is there any possible way to exchange? I am responsible for the mistake. I dont know what to do.
    By the way, I am from Saudi Arabia

    Unfortunately, yes.  That is true.
    However, did YOU specify the part number or did the reseller did?  Did they ask relevant questions as to the specific model of your chassis and/or your supervisor card or not?
