Service Disruption - Adobe ID Creation/Activation

Due to emergency system maintenance, creation and activation of Adobe IDs
will be unavailable from 6 AM - 7 AM Pacific time on Friday, September 24,
2010. During this time no new user will be able to activate an Adobe ID, and
existing users may also receive error messages during activation.
During this period, only Adobe ID services will be impacted; Content Server
4 partners will be able to be fulfill eBooks normally during this time. We
apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to posting an update upon
resolution.

Maybe the confusion about not being able to activate is down to the fact that you need to be part of the beta program to be able to use the app. I could not find any reference to this in any publicly available information but once I used an Adobe account that we use for our beta testing, I could activate the iPad app and access our test files on it.

Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat not activated

Adobe CS3, Acrobat Professional 8.1.0, Windows XP Pro: CS3 has been working faultlessly for several years. Suddenly, when I try to print using Adobe PDF as printer I get message "Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat not activated". To my knowledge all of CS 3 should be activated. InDesign, Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, etc work fine. I can even open Acrobat 8 and call up documents but I cannot print to it. When I click on "Activation" in Help menu, both "Activate" and "Deactivate" are grayed out. Any suggestions?

Perhaps you should use this tool:
<http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html>
The tool repairs the license but before using this tool, have you tried re-booting the system just in case this is a temporary problem? Also, it is a good idea to create a temporary profile and try using the PDF printer to see if it is working.
If it is working in your temporary profile, then this suggests that your preference file might need to be re-created but this is for next time after you have tried using the pdf in your test profile.

How can I backup Adobe's software activation?

I have purchased Adobe Creative Suite CS6 for Windows and am using it on my desktop and notebook computer. This is the maximum number of computers I'm allowed to use it on. Since the software has an activation and deactivation feature and requires an internet connection, I assume that an activation on a third computer would not be possible. So I really have to make sure that I don't lose any of the two systems because I'd also lose one activation with it. (Or I'd need to mess with the support which I'm trying to avoid.)
Today I've noticed that my notebook shows strange error messages. Applications were missing or would not start due to wrong reasons (not compatible with x64, although this was specificly the x64 version, and it's always worked fine). I ran a chkdsk and it fixed tons or filesystem errors. Now other programs are missing and I can't even install any new ones... Unfortunately I noticed the error while trying to perform a Windows system backup. That stupid thing deleted the old version and messed up the new one. So I haven't got any right now. There's also no system restore points, so I can only reinstall the system.
Don't worry, no user data is lost, but I'm kind of lucky that Photoshop still started and I could deactivate it before that wouldn't work anymore as well. (Computer systems often die slowly...)
So my question is: What files or registry keys do I need to copy to a safe location to backup Adobe's software activation on my computer? Would it be possible to restore such a backup on the very same hardware (maybe another disk drive in case the previous one died) but with a freshly installed Windows (same version)? I've learned several times that I cannot rely on a complete system image backup. The only backups that have ever worked 100% reliably for me were those where I copied files to a known location in a known format. But that doesn't include the activation I guess. I'd like to know where it is located so that I can perform a decent backup of it.

So even a complete system backup would not help in this case?
As long as nothing in your computer has changed, a system backup/restore will keep the activation. There are various things that activation looks at to produce the activation key, MAC address & HD are two of the obvious ones (there are more). So, as long as the backup is used to resotre on the same hardware, you shouldn't have to worry about re-activation.
If the computer breaks and you need to install on a new computer, you'll need to contact the Adobe Activation customer service to reset your activations. For more info see: Activation, deactivation | Adobe products

Advertising Service in Adobe AIR APPs

Hi,
I have an Adobe Air application compatible with Playbook.
I would like to put some adds in my free application and try to earn some money.
Is there any advertising service for Adobe Air Applications?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I do not own an iOS device and from my understanding, you have to have a developer account just to be able to test apps on your device, even if you have no intention of ever publishing something on the store. Correct me if Im wrong on that, but everything I have seen is that the only way to test apps without a developer account is to have a jailbroken device.
I have been building an audiobook player on and off for a while now and tested it on a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and Nexus 5 in addition to my Moto X. None of those ever experienced any noticeable delays in playback. That is why I was wondering if it is a per device issue. Or it could be that I have just always used vanilla (or extremely close to it) Google Android devices. I understand that the devices I have tested with are most likely in a very low percentage of active devices used aside from the Moto X. I was basically just wanting to jump in to provide my notes on the issue, the device I tested with, and my experience.

Are UCS hardware upgrades service disruptive?

Hi Community,
Is fabric interconnect hardware upgrade from dual (clustered) 6120XP to dual 6248 service disruptive?
Is adding a new 5108 chassis to the existing UCS configuration with dual 6120XP service disruptive?

Thanks Kenny.
1). I have actually been using this document for my project, and I think I worked out a pretty good migration plan based on it, but there are some grey areas/questions, MARKED IN BOLD CAPS. Could you clarify them for me?
Step 1 Upgrade UCS firmware across all the devices to the same version - 2.1(1f). THE NEW 6248S CAN BE TEMPORARY CONFIGURED AS STANDALONE OR IN A CLUSTER FOR THE FIRMWARE UPGRADE, AND THEN THE CONFIGURATION SHOULD BE WIPED OUT AND THE FABRIC INTERCONNECTS POWERED OFF.
Step 2 Using either the UCS manager CLI or GUI, verify the state (subordinate or active) of the existing (production) fabric interconnects.
!!! Step 3 Back up the software configuration information and the UCS Manager software !!!
Step 4 Disable the server ports on the subordinate fabric interconnect – NEW or EXISTING? THIS STEP IS CONFUSING AND IT IS REFERENCED IN STEP 17.
Step 5 Power down the EXISTING subordinate fabric interconnect by unplugging it from the power source. If you are monitoring the upgrade using a KVM session, you may need to reconnect the KVM session when you power down the fabric interconnect.
THE NEW FABRIC INTERCONNECT(S) SHOULD BE POWERED OFF AT THIS POINT
Step 6 Disconnect the cables running from the chassis IO Modules to the subordinate fabric interconnect ports in slot 1 (the old EXISTING fabric interconnect).
Step 7 Connect these cables into the corresponding ports in slot 1 on one of the new Cisco UCS 6248 UP fabric interconnect, using the connection records to preserve the port mapping and the configured server pinning.
See Fabric Interconnect Port Connection Record, on page 7.
See Fabric Interconnect Upgrade Considerations, on page 1.
Step 8 Disconnect the L1/L2, M1 management, and Console cables on the old fabric interconnect. The ports for these connections are on the opposite side of the interconnect, so if your cables are just barely long enough to connect two rack-adjacent UCS 6120 interconnects you will probably need new cables.
Step 9 Connect the M1 management, and Console cables to the new Cisco UCS 6248 UP.
Step 10 Connect the L1/L2 cables that were disconnected to the new Cisco UCS 6248 UP. L1 connects to L1, L2 connects to L2.
Step 11 Disconnect the Ethernet or FC cables from slot 2 of the old fabric interconnect.
Step 12 Connect the Ethernet or FC cables to the corresponding ports in slot 2 of the new Cisco UCS 6248 UP. Some may go to slot 1, depending on the mappings planned out earlier in the process
I HAVE NO SLOT 2 ON THE NEW FABRIC INTERCONNECTS ON THE OLD ONES, SIX PORTS IN SLOT 2 ARE CONFIGURED AS FIBER CHANNEL PORTS. WILL I NEED TO MANUALLY CONFIGURE LAST SIX PORTS AS FC PORTS? IF YES, AT WHAT STEP IS THIS CONFIGURATION DONE, AND ARE THE FIBER CHANNEL CABLES SUPPOSED TO BE PLUGGED IN BEFORE OR AFTER THE PORTS ARE CONFIGURED AS FC PORTS?
Step 13 Connect the power to the new Cisco UCS 6248 UP, it will automatically boot and run POST tests.
Important: Directly connect the console cable to a terminal and observe the boot sequence. You should at some point see the Basic System Configuration Dialog, where you will configure the switch as a subordinate interconnect. - IS THIS THE WIZARD THAT RUNS ON EVERY UNCONFIGURED FABRIC INTERCONNECT WHEN YOU POWER IT ON, WHEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE IP, NAME, DNS, ETC.? CAN I USE THE SAME IP THAT WAS ON THE OLD FABRIC INTERCONNECT?
If you do not see this dialog, you either have different builds of software on your old primary and new subordinate, or the new subordinate has previously been part of a cluster and will need to have all configuration information wiped before it can be added to a cluster as a subordinate. In either case, immediately disconnect the L1 and L2 connections and complete the bringup as a standalone fabric interconnect, then correct the issue before proceeding further.
I AM NOT SURE IF THE NEXT STEP IS APPLICABLE TO ME AT ALL, AS I DO NOT HAVE N10-E0440, I HAVE N10-E0060. COULD YOU COMMENT ON THIS?
Step 14 (Optional) Remap UCS 6100 fabric interconnect FC ports 2/1 to 2/4 on a N10-E0440 expansion module or any slot 3 ports onto the new fabric interconnect expansion module.
a) Use UCS Manager to delete the ports on the subordinate fabric interconnect that you will need to move within the configuration - WHERER DO I DELETE THE PORTS - ON THE NEW ONE?
b) For each port you have just deleted, create new ports on either slot 1 or slot 2. These ports must use the same port type definitions as the old ports, but will use different port numbers.
c) For recently moved Ethernet server ports, reconfigure the associated service profile to use the new port number for the appropriate LAN pin group.
d) For recently moved uplink Ethernet ports, reconfigure the port channel settings to use the new ports.
e) For recently moved uplink FC ports, reconfigure the associated service profile SAN pin group to use the new ports.
f) Re-acknowledge chassis for blade servers and fabric extender for rack servers.
This will be disruptive to traffic, but is necessary in this specific scenario. DO I LOOSE CONNECTIVITY FOR THE ENTIRE CHASSIS, OR JUST ONE FABRIC?
Step 15 The new subordinate fabric interconnect will automatically synchronize the configuration and database/state information from the primary fabric interconnect. Synchronization between primary and subordinate fabric interconnects can take several minutes. The port configuration is copied from the subordinate switch to the new hardware.
Step 16 Verify that the data path is ready.
See Verifying that the Data Path is Ready.
Make sure all faults are resolved before proceeding.
a) Verify and if necessary reconfigure the SAN pin group for FC ports in the associated service profile.
b) Verify and if necessary reconfigure the LAN pin group for Ethernet ports in the associated service profile.
c) Verify and if necessary reconfigure the port channel for uplink Ethernet ports.
THE FOLLOWING STEP IS ALSO CONFUSING. IF IT IS TALKING ABOUT THE OLD SUBORDINATE FABRIC INTERCONNECT THAT IS BEING REPLACED, WHY DO WE NEED TO ENABLE THE SERVER PORTS ON IT, THERE IS NOTHING CONNECTED TO IT. IF IT IS TALKING ABOUT THE NEW ONE - 6248, THEN, IT MEANS THEY HAVE TO BE DISABLED IN STEP 4, BUT IT MAKES NO SENSE, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANY CONFIGURATION ON IT. CAN YOU CLARIFY?
Step 17 Enable the server ports that had been disabled in Step 4. -
a) If you have changed port mappings, you may need to re-acknowledge the chassis or rack server connected to the subordinate fabric interconnect. DOES IT APPLY TO ALL TYPES OF PORTS – FC, SERVER, UPLINK ETHERNET PORTS?
b) Verify and if necessary reconfigure Ethernet ports as server ports.
Step 18 Promote the subordinate fabric interconnect to active, and repeat the process on the second Cisco UCS 6248 UP. Cable the second new fabric interconnect identically to the first, and allow the reconfiguration done to be applied to the second new fabric interconnect as well. DOES THE SECOND NEW 6248 NEED TO BE OFF OR ON WHEN CABLING IT? DO I NEED TO GO THROUGH THE WIZARD AT THE POWER ON TO MAKE IT A PART OF THE CLUSTER?
See Forcing a Fabric Interconnect Failover.
2). Does CISCO have a document outlining the steps for adding a chassis?

Maxim.

How can I call a web service via Adobe Reader XI?

Hi all,
I have created a document using LiveCycle (Trial) to get something from my custom web service, using Adobe Pro to open the file and its success to call the web service when clicking the call button, however, when I try to do the same thing using Adobe Reader XI, seems not work. Please help!
Best Regards,

The only way it can work with Reader is if the document is Reader-enabled with LiveCycle Reader Extensions or the similar product from Datalogics. Acrobat is not able to add the corresponding usage right.

Services for Object in creation mode

Hi colleagues,
I am facing one problem and I would appreciate your help and ideas. I want to enable user to use a functionality of "Services for object" in creation mode (in my case transaction IW31). In change or display mode this functionality is enabled, so creating new BOR object and such things are not necessary.
I understand that services for object are disabled by default in creation mode, because it is not meaningful to assign some documents to object which does not yet exist. But in theoretical way, it should be possible to implement some "tricky" solution. Probably some temporary object could be created at the start of IW31 and attachments could be assigned to this object. And in some user exit executed during processing of save statement (after all checks and such things), attachments could be re-assigned to a real (persistent) object. For unsaved orders it would be necessary to delete temporary object and also attached documents.
Have someone implemented something similar? Or any helpful ideas?
Thank you all in advance.
Regards,
Adrian

Initiating Global creation activity by quering a database table.

Hi,
I want to start the BPM process using
a) Use a query result for the initial global creation activity. ( -- I have an catalogued object which returns 'docNo' and 'status' column values from a database query already.)
How do I do this piece wherein I call the automatic activity from the global creation activity.
I want the
b) User clicks on the Review Claim link to pull up the claim to approve the claim. -- secondary part ( use the docNo to pull up claim detail from the database and present in the form for approval)
So there are 2 parts, List the claims awaiting approval and then the individual approval.
How do I get the user to log into a BPM workspace ( login screen) and get a list of claims for approval.
Example:
doc1#, amount, <Approve ReportLink>
doc2#, amount, <Approve ReportLink>
doc3#, amount, <Approve ReportLink>
Angelo

Hi Angelo,
Looks like part of your thread was cut off. This is mostly to see if I might be able to fill in the blanks.
I'm guessing you are thinking about using a Global Creation activity to perhaps bring up a list of claims and that the row or rows returned from the database could each create a separate new work item instance. Did I get that right?
If that's correct, don't use a Global Creation. Instead use a Global Interactive to display the rows. For each row approved an new work item instance might then be created in the process for each one you approved. You'd use a Screenflow behind the Global Interactive. Inside the screenflow you'd have an automatic task to retrieve the rows from the database. This would then flow to a Interactive task inside the screenflow that has been assigned a BPM Object presentation to display the rows inside a Group. You'd then follow this with another automatic task that looks at the Group (array) of items selected in the UI and then programmatically create a work item instance for each one selected.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Adobe PDF Creation Add-On 9 install error

I have just upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and was able to install Robohelp HTML without any problems. However, when I try to install the Adobe PDF Creation Add-On I get the following message: "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

Adobe Flash 9 Active X

I really need Adobe Flash 9 Active X, but when I try to install it, error message shows up. I uninstalled newest adobe flash 11, but stil no results.
Help me please, what should I do?

It is recommended that you remove older versions of Flash
Player (unless they are needed for developer testing) when
deploying the new MSI.
There is a known issue when attempting to uninstall using the
current MSI version 9.0.124.0. It will not completely remove all
entries in the system registry. This will be addressed for a future
release of Flash Player.
You can include the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller in your
deployment process. The uninstaller can be downloaded from here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
In addition, the MSI is only available for deployment via the
Adobe Licensing Center:

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Verizon Service Disruption

Does anyone know of any service disruption in Columbus, Ohio? Before you ask, bill is paid in full. Phone continues to say searching for service and if it does show 3G with bars, I try to make a call, the bars disappear and it will not connect. Sent email to customer service but does anyone know of any issues?

Great suggestions Gerio!
I understand how frustrating it is getting no signal on your device. I would be glad to look into this for you. There are no known outages in Columbus, Oh at this time for Verizon Wireless. Did any of Gerio's suggestions work for you? When did this start happening? Is is only at one location? If other devices are working and your is not we may need to further troubleshoot to determine what caused this issue. Please PM me and I will be glad to look at your account and further investigate.

Is it possible to call web services in adobe connect application?

Selvan

OK, so it's a plain Flex security issue, not related to the Connect application, probably due to crossdomain misconfiguration.
Please read http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html and http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.html
You may want to ask for help in the proper Flex forum. Also, download Tour de Flex and look at the example under "Flex Data Access3 -> "WebService".
