Setting the "Device Name" when activating device licenses

What determines the “Device Name” in the list of activated devices in the Development Pool on the Adobe license site for device licenses? Specifically for Macs... It doesn't seem to be the "Sharing Preferences" pane...

So, figured it out by myself. It appears that the Adobe serializer uses the local Mac's hostname. You can find that out by going to the terminal and typing 'hostname'. The host name gets set initially by any domain name that is assigned to the IP. If none is, it uses the Sharing Name in the Sharing preferences pane. Regardless, you can override and change the hostname using the terminal (sudo scutil --set HostName mynewhostname.local). Deauthorize the device on the Adobe site and reauthorize and it will appear as desired. This way, you can have the machine listed on the Adobe site however you wish rather than by domain name. This is helpful if you have a long list of machines and wish to set their hostnames to their room number or location, etc.

  • How to set the default name when exporting a report ?

    <p><span class="PSLONGEDITBOX">I use crystal reports in my C# asp application, with the CrystalReportViewer class.

    I looked around and I it appears that you have found the only way to set this. There doesn't seem to be dynamic support for the exported file names.

  • The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

    I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing. 
    Issue:
    The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination. 
    The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable. 
    The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in. 
    The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
    What we have done to troubleshoot:
    1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
    2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always". 
    3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
    4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
    5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
    6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
    7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
    Summary:
    The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

    Hi Whalensdad,
    Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
    There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
    May be it changes to others at run time.
    The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
    have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
    Thanks,

    Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
    the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

  • The file name is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters.

    Hi ,
    I am getting below error in SSIS 2008 package when it is run through control-m
    The file name is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters.
    component "FF_SRC_InboundFidelityInputFile" (1) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020207E.
    although this package is working fine in dev environment from visual studio.
    control-m agent has proper permissions to the folder still it is failing. Please if anyone knows solution for this issue. I am working on this issue since more than a week but reached nowhere. Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi Paras,
    Based on your description, it is not the VS IDE issue, if it is related to the SSIS, I suggest you post the issue in this forum here:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlintegrationservices
    , and there you would get better response.

  • Lucreate fails w/msg  cannot check device name d41 for device path abbre

    I'm using Live Upgrade to install Solaris 10 8/07 on a V490 currently running Solaris 9 4/04. Sol9 is using SVM to mirror two internal drives with file systems for /, /var and swap. I used format and formatted two new slices for / and /var. LU has been removed and the liveupgrade20 script used to install LU from the Solaris 10 CD. I believe the next step is to lucreate the BE, but the lucreate is failing:

    (Note: Using the short names (d41, d42 etc) worked with Solaris 10 6/06, but fails with 8/07.)

  • Setting the role name dynamically

    Hi,
    I have defined 4 roles in the application. In the workflow navigation, i have created a notification. How can i set the role name property of the Notification message dynamically so that as soon as the control comes to that notification, all the users in that role gets the notification message?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Define a attribute which holds the value of one of the four defined roles.Then create some activity (with some defined function) which will select the role and assign to the attribute.
    In the notification give the performer value as attribute name.
    This will solve your purpose.
    Kind Regards,

    How do I get the Measurement scale to stay set in Adobe Acrobat IX Pro. It's easy to set the scale , but when you exit out of the commend the scale is reset to 1 = 1.

    Thank you for checking, Tom,
    I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
    Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
    My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
    On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
    http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
    The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
    So, my question still is:
    HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
    Any ideas?

  • Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

    Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
    Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
    I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
    It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
    Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

  • Set the column name of a table in a list box

    is there any code to set the column name of a table in a list box at oracle devloper 6i?
    pls help.

    I dont want to go for pl/sql . It should work any table.You want Dynamic SQL without using PL/SQL? Tricky. I'm sure there's a possible way using some very complex and convoluted XML functionality of SQL but in reality you are asking for something that isn't natural to SQL queries, especially if you are expecting a dynamic number of columns to be produced for each row of data. SQL expects a table structure, including output formats, to be a defined number of columns with any number of rows, not a defined number of rows with any number of columns.
    Perhaps if you explain why you need this sort of functionality then we may be able to offer a better solution.

  • Setting the display name in a message

    Hello for the following code:

    I'd like to set the display name, i.e.
    "A Message From Foo"
    However I did not see a msg.setDisplayName() method... is there any way to do this?
    As a working example, amazon sends an email with a return address of [email protected], but the display name is 'Amazon Payments' which looks a lot nicer for the customer. I'd like to do the same.
    Thanks

    Solution is:
