Running adobe acrobat on a terminal server & licensing purchase

Is it possible to run both the standard and professional versions of adobe acrobat (1 license of each) on a terminal server? Each version would be security locked down to the specific licensed user.
Also
If you purchase adobe acrobat through licensing is it possible to purchase just one license or is there a minimum number of licenses that you can purchase? Is the better option for one license to purchase the boxed retail product?

Running LabVIEW applications on Windows Terminal Server

I have built a client application in LabVIEW that one of our users want to run on a Windows 2000 Terminal Server...the question is; how does Windows Terminal Server handle the different sessions; does is launch multiple copies of the application and if so how about support files? In my case the client application has a configuration and a temp file in it's directory...if multiple users use the application on the terminal server; does it or can it be set up to make one copy of the app directory for each session? If not - is there a way / what is the best way to get separate configurations and temp files for each session?

Acrobat XI and Terminal server 2k8r2 x64

I found out that Acrobat or adobe no longer provides open licensing? So we were told to buy 5 copies with where each one can be installed twice.
Question: How do you install the software if each license is per user and not concurrent? and having to buy 5 copies, we have 5 licenses to install? How would you go about doing that if the first installation instance only gives you one time to enter in the license key?
Adobe support wasn't very helpful over online, and I have been waiting for 2 hours to get a call back from them.

What do you mean by Open licences? From your post I can infer that you want to install an instance of Acrobat on a terminal server and you would like to connect to the server using multple clients concurrently. For this I suggest you can explore the option of Volume licensing. Volume licensing provides the option of multiple activations per serial key whereas Retail licensing gives you only 2 activations per serial key. For Terminal Server/Citrix servers, you need to get volume licenses instead of the retail ones.
I hope I have clarified your doubts...
Thanks,
Vinod

My company runs Adobe Acrobat XI on a PC. Our PC went down and we replaced it with a new one. We need Acrobat XI on it and have bought it already. How can I get it put onto our new computer?

Hi chrisb75729216,
I checked with your account but could not find any order history so you might be using another email address on forums.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from old machine and then install Acrobat on the new machine by activating with the same serial number.
Please download Acrobat XI pro from here: Other downloads
If you have single user license, then remember that the software can be activated on maximum two computers, say your desktop at work and laptop at home.

Hi garryw,
What version of Reader are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Do you get the same error when you try to print other PDF files, or is the problem specific to one PDF?
For starters, please try the solutions listed in this thread: Re: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat /Reader. If it is running ,please exit and try again.(0:104)
Let us know how it goes.

Get Report of Terminal Server license report

Is there a way I can track our Terminal Server Licenses usage. For example I have bought 50 licenses, are they being used to full capacity or under used. What is the monthly maximum usage. And we have about 10 servers hosting terminal services
in our AD, do I have to generated a report for each ? Is there tool that can do this ? Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
For finding active session on terminal server you can use command as follow.
query session /server:SERVER2
A user can always query the session to which the user is currently logged on. To query other sessions, the user must have Query Information access permission.
More information.

Move Terminal server licenses to another server

We have one terminal server VM hosted in hyper v server. currently there is a problem with the hyper v server hdd and we might need to rebuild the whole server. We would like to setup a new terminal server on a new server. The existing terminal server is
windows server 2003. After I fresh setup the Windows server 2003 VM in a new server, how do I move the terminal server license to a new server? FYI, we would like to decommission the old terminal server. But we would like to do it in parallel as there are
many users are still accessing to the old terminal server.
Thanks so much.
Regards,
Henry

Hi Henry,
First you need to gather your licensing paperwork, authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for your existing licenses. This step is critical.
Next install RD Licensing on the replacement 2003 server, Activate it using Terminal Server Licensing (licmgr.exe), then install the TS CALs. If you receive an error when installing the old TS CALs please contact the Clearinghouse and explain
to them you need to install the TS CALs on a new server because the old one is being decommissioned.

Once you have confirmed that the old TS CALs are installed on the replacement 2003 TS then make sure your 2003 TS is set to the correct Licensing mode (to match the type of TS CALs) and you have Specified the name of the new RD Licensing server.
You do this in Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc) on the replacement terminal server.
As an alternative you could install the existing TS CALs on a newer RD Licensing server such as Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, etc. You still will need to have the authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for the existing 2003 TS CALs.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X on Server

I have read that Adobe Acrobat Pro X can be installed on the server.
I want to know if we can programmatically use the functions of Acrobat on that server like Reduce File Size,
Optimize Scanned PDF, Print to Adobe PDF? maybe using Adobe Acrobat SDK or Adobe PDF Library?

Acrobat CAN NOT be installed on a server. This is CLEARLY spelled out in the EULA that accompanies it.
If you need PDF technology from Adobe for server-side, that would be our LiveCycle/ADEP family of products.

I know that there are to kinds of Windows Terminal Server licenses. Users or Devices CAL's. If I'm using SGD, do i need a license for each users, or with one license for each SGD server is enought?.
Thanks.

Hi.
It's not Oracle limitation or rules. It's rules of Microsoft.

"You may deploy network architectures that use hardware or software to reduce the number of devices or users that directly access the software on a server. This is referred to as multiplexing or pooling. However, this does not reduce the number of CALs required to access or use the server software. A CAL is required for each device or user that is connected to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware front end."

Adobe PDF Documents - Windows Terminal Server, tips ?

Hi,
I am looking for some tips.
We provide managed hosted servers for medium sized companies and for years have been using Adobe for the creation, manipulation and viewing of PDF's
However since all these servers are running Terminal Services we find that the display and scroll speed of any document that we edit with Adobe to be very is slow.
We can understand why this occurs, due to the fact that unlike other documents the background of the document scrolls / moves like it would for an other image but not all PDF products suffer so badly
I have reduced the default resolution of any created pdf's and this has made a significant improvement but this does not solve the problem of documents created else where.
I have tried some other pdf products and they don't seem to suffer as badly as Adobe does in this department. We don't want to stop using Adobe so hopefully I can get some tips to improve this situation.

Bill,
Thank you for your response.
Firstly, it does of course raise a flag of concern for users running a full copy of Adobe on their Terminal Servers. I would have thought that as long as they had sufficient licenses for all users i.e. 50 Adobe user licenses for 50 Terminal Server users they would be above board, but I will check up on this for them and if this is the case well that answers my question perfectly, they will have to change products.
I also understand that there are many other converters around, we have tried several but would prefer to stay with Adobe. We don't like to support multiple products and have been supporting Adobe now for probably over a decade.
Lastly the problem is not only for Acrobat Professional but also even just for the Reader. You see when you display an Adobe "Document" it is actually and image and therefore scroll speeds on a Terminal Server are agonisingly slow due to the "white" background of the document. Other products as we both have mentioned seem to have gotten "around" this some how and I am not quite sure how.
I really don't expect to find a solution to this problem, I thought I would bring it up on the forums in case I have missed something before we have to move to a different PDF document application.
