Volume licences for Universities

I represent a very large university with significant media department in New Zealand and many licenses for Final Cut Pro. We contacted our Apple software official supplier about purchasing Final Cut Pro X and were told it was no longer on their price list (not available to them anymore), and that staff would have to purchase using their personal App Store account and then get reimbursed the purchase price.
IS THIS CRAZY OR WHAT?
I then contacted Apple Australia who had no idea (poor aussies), and suggested the same as the supplier or to "wait and see"
Does anybody know what the plan is for large organisation or do they really what business to pay for software that will be licensed to individual staff, who may leave to their competition, yet still retain the software? Are Universities expected to install software on machines used by students that must them be authoried to a personal staff members App Store account?
With LION due out in a week or so Apple had better get their **** together quick.

HI
Same here ... we even have a current support / update agreement in place, but can't get a copy of FCPX to evaluate (let alone the 20 seats we have already paid for)!!!
Apple just keeps passing my emails for information around internally ....
For places like us, even staying on FCP 7 will be difficult, since students can't buy their own copies to work on now. New students will very quickly show up with FCPX .. and I don't even know if it will work in our environment! Teaching a tool that can't be acquired won't cut it for long!
This is one of Apple's better stuff ups to be sure...

Using volume licence for Publisher 2007 with Publisher 2003

Hey everyone,
We have a Volume Licence for publisher 2007 but need to install publisher 2003 on a specific PC, I was wondering if we could use the same licence or if we need to purchase a new one.
Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
The rule is: a same user code is allowed to open two sessions concurrently. This is not changed. This function is for the need a user may need both session to complete certain tasks.
RSP has a new function to detect such case if the same B1 user are from two work stations. That is a sign to indicate this feature may be abused.
Thanks,
Gordon

Volume licence for teams

I am trying to deploy an installation of Creative Cloud for teams, we have a studio of 12 Macs that all use the same build image. We have a high turnover of freelancers and no single Mac is tied to an email address. I really need a volume licence I can install on a single build and just install it onto the rest of the Macs.
I can't contact Adobe in anyway at all, can anyone else help me?
The invite a user by email to join a team just doesn't work in our set up, is there an alternative?

Download of CS6 (valid volume licence) for installation on 2nd PC

Hi there,
I need to download CS6 to install it on my PC. I have a valid volume licence, and the CS is running on my first PC smoothly. I thought about downloading a trial versoin of CS6 and then changing it to a full version with my serial number from volume licence (I have it in print). But the Adobe site states, that trial versions of CS6 are no longer available and instead I could download trial version of CC. But that's not much of a help, when I only have a licence for CS6....
I take it programs in CC are different from those in CS6, aren't they?
Thx!

Hi Adobe_forum_SF,
Please use the below link to download CS6 Products

Design Premium CS5 Volume Licence

Hi,
My friend had a volume licence for his company and as I was doing some work for him gave me a reg code to download and install the Adobe Design Premium CS5 for my P.C., I have the code but cant seem to get it to work since my hard drive crashed. Unfortunately my friend passed away last December so I can't go and ask him for help.
Its a long shot but is there anything I can do to get this back up and running - his company is obviously not trading anymore.
Thanks in advance
Paul

I am sorry Paul for your loss. Unfortunately it does not appear the transfer of license process was followed. If you are able to contact the company to obtain the software asset then you can request the license by transferred to your possession. You can find additional details at Transfer an Adobe product license.

Licencing for "in-house" solution

Hi,
It's probably not the best place to ask, but in case someone could help me.
From what i understand, Indesign Server is available to licencing firstly and mostly to system integrators. There is not pre-defined plan for in-house developpement (ie. You just cant go and buy a licence throught the website by ex.).
Also, i understand that the User licence of Indesign (the "user" version) prohibit using it in a client-server setup. The user can launch automation scrips but has to wait for the process to finish, you cant have a application that drive the automation script by managing a pool of process sent by a user (or many users) [on a local network by exemple]. (if i'm wrong on that assumption, please tell me!).
So i would very likely need a Indesign Server licence for our In-House developpement and there is no plan to resell the "solution" that will be developped with it.
I have asked through Adobe account for licencing (getting a contact) and was answered this:
"I need to inform you that you will have to our Adobe Open
Options Customer Service department at the number listed below, as this
is a volume license issue."
I dont understand why it's a volume licence issue as i would very likely just need one licence for in-house use (production).
Can someone confirm-me if it's the appropriate department to contact or have any information that is not under non-disclosure that would be of help (to me or other people in a similar situation).
Eric

Hi Eric,
I understand your confusion. InDesign Server is a rather esoteric product and was released originally with the concept that it would be provided exclusively by resellers offering custom solutions or software built on the InDesign Server engine. It is not sold in the same way as desktop software.
It appears that whover you spoke to at Adobe gave you incorrect information.
My company, Silicon Publishing, resells InDesign Server and we would be happy to sell you a copy. It is also possible to purchase it directly from Adobe or from other resellers. There is not exactly a "plan" for in-house development, but it is quite common, and in such cases resellers or Adobe simply sell the software without additional custom development or software built on top of it. Many companies have built their own in-house solutions, as the technique of automation is straightforward and well-documented.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

IWork licence for businesses?

Hi,
I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask in, but there doesn't seem to any other iWork related forums other than Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
I was just wondering, what about commercial/business licences for iWork, does such thing exist? Or do we have to purchase X amount of "single user"-licences, since a "family pack"-licence is not allowed for business/commercial use?
Thanks.

What may we respond other than what we wrote.
(a) here you are not asking to Apple's employees but to end users like you.
(b) the license said nothing about business licenses. The known special licenses are "family ones" and "academic ones".
(c) before responding I used the search in existing threads for license AND business. Alas, I missed one response.

Acrobat Pro 9 Volume Licence Download

I have a acrobat 9 pro volume licence and there is no installer available for download on my downloads page. Where can I find an installer for acrobat 9 with a volume license?

The only other site that I know of that might be of some help is Adobe Licensing Website | Serial numbers | Orders | Accounts
Half way down it describes how to download volume software.
If that doesn't help, you probably have to talk to a live Adobe person Contact Customer Care

Photoshop licence for small company purchase

Hello!
We're a small company based in Luxembourg and we'd like to purchase Photoshop (only it). As I understood, you have a licence for small companies?
One year subscription costs 17.99 euro per month, and a single month is 27.99 euro.
Can we purchase Photoshop for only several months (say, Feb, May and Aug) if we're not planning to use it regularly?
Thanks.
p.s.: also, if we purchase one licence for a year, is it only for one machine or my colleague also can activate it on different computer?

You can cancel and reinstate monthly plans as you see fit, you just miss all possible discounts when you do it that way. And well, if you only use PS once every few months the smart thing probably to do would be to learn GIMP and some other free tools, meaning you proabbaly don't use any advanced features that you coulkd not find in those free tools as well. Otherwise look into getting CC for Teams or a volume licensing plan, but those require at least a full 1 year commitment.

How to find licence for Hyperion Software

Hi,
I want "Essbase Application Manager" for one of my team member but somehow our desktop support team is not able to find this software in their catalog . I think name of the software may be changed.
I have same software on my desktop but it is inside "Hyperion Solutions" SOftware . Does anyone have any idea on my situatuin.
Is there any Hyperion product in which I can ""Essbase Application Manager" for my day to day work
Also I want to find licence for the Hyperion SOLutions software on my desktop. Can anyone tell me how I can find it ?

What version of Essbase are you running? I think Application Manager was decommissioned in Version 6 (although it might have been Version 7). It was replaced by Essbase Administration Services(EAS). Application Manager does not need a license as it is just an administrative tool for Essbase. For the license number again it depends on the version. Later version do not have a license number, earlier versions do. In some cases you can get it from App Manager by getting server properties and it will show you. In other versions, you would start Essbase in foreground and it will show you the license as it starts. Essbase 7.16, System 9.3.1 and Version 11 do not have licenses that you have to enter.

I think there is a Windows bootcamp application that will recognize those keys. The bootcamp stuff is here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
I think it is called bootcamp assistant. Look here: http://www.mac-guides-and-solutions.com/boot-camp-assistant.html

Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
Whats working:
Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider. Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
Whats not working:
Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
Thanks

Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?

I bought a volume license for CS6. How do I now get a serial number for prior version (CS5.5)?

I bought a volume license for CS6 Design Standard. Because of my system restrictions for now I can only run a prior version (CS5.5). I have also previously downloaded its trial version which works perfect. Now, after buying a license for CS6 I would like to get a serial number for a prior version as well. How would I go about receiving it?
Many thanks in advance!
Nelle

Hi Nelle,
You can request downgrade from Adobe, but you can't get back to CS6 after that, so it might be better to upgrade your system?
Anyway, in my laptop CS6 has been running faster and better than CS5.5 without any changes to system, so you could give it a try before downgrading...

So I downloaded acrobat XI Standard from the Adobe website, when I go to install it, it says "Adobe XI Pro" at the top left corner. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I have a volume license for XI Std. so I would like to use the Std. version.
