Running Acrobat Pro X 1st de-serialises CS 5.5!

Question

Hi Everyone,
When you run Arobat Pro X before the other Master Collection CS5.5 products it de-serialises the whole suite!!
In CS4 they had a safe guard which would ask for the user to run another creative suite product first....which was fine! Now that its gone.. it breaks the serialisation of the entire suite.
Does anyone know of a fix/workaround anything?? I have 800 students who would love nothing more than to make more work for me, by deliberately opening acrobat first.

Hi,
I FINALLY solved this today!
Turns out that the master collection serial isnt sufficient to serialise acrobat pro. Adobe had to give me a serial key specifically for Acrobat Pro X. This Is what I did in the end:
1.) Create a deployment package for Adobe Acrobat Pro X using the "Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition" (AAMEE) and only select Acobat Pro X from all the CS products.
2.) Use the Adobe Customisation Wizard X to modify the Acropro.msi in the Exceptions folder and enter the serial number Adobe provide for Acrobat Pro X under the "Personalisation Options", set any other things you want here.
3.) Create a second Deplyment package for all the Creative Suite Products EXCLUDING ACROBAT PRO X.
4.) Add these packages to SCCM. Make sure when you add the command line for acrobat that you call the TRANSFORMS file in the acrobat working directory. In my case its called acropro.mst. The command line should look something like   "msiexec.exe /i acropro.msi TRANSFORMS=acropro.mst /qn"
5.) Add Acrobat Pro X to your task sequence and be sure to install acrobat first. Then add the Creative Suite to the task sequence
All done... should deploy without issue and it doesnt matter if you open Acrobat or a creative suite product 1st. The products stay serialised!
Thanks to Jatin Dembla, Nirvek and Michael Savanis at Adobe for their support.
Hope this helps.
