Week 6: No satisfactory resolution on licensing problem

In early November, presumably after the cyberattacks that targeted Adobe earlier this Fall, we received a notice indicating a problem processing the monthly payment for my Creative Cloud license. We provided new corporate credit card info for billing, but it never successfully renewed our license. Last week, we discovered that the license had expired, locking me out of my Creative Cloud products. Despite notifications from Adobe Support that the problem had been resolved, I am still unable to reliably access the Creative Cloud software.
I've tried logging out of the Creative Cloud client, then logging back in a few times. That allowed me to open either InDesign, Acrobat, or Photoshop once. Thereafter, and for all other products, I continue get the following sequence of messages: (1) Renew your subscription. If you've already renewed, press "try again"; (2) Thank you, your subscription is now active - press "continue" use your product, (3) Renew your subscriptio. If you've already renewed, press "try again" . . ." and so on, ad infinitum. Occasionally, I will get an "Adobe Software License Agreement" splash screen that temporarily lets me access the software, but stops working again once I exit the program and try to relaunch.
I'm so confused. Can someone please assist? I just can't afford to lose yet ANOTHER week of work because of licensing problems.

2012 Licensing Problem

I would like to make everyone aware of an issue with RDS and the FIX from Microsoft services which I consider unacceptable.
The setup is as follows. One 2012 DC with Terminal server licensing installed. Two 2012 servers with RDS enabled. Take note that RDS was NOT deployed using the wizard as there is no need
for all of the resources of a server farm for 2 servers. On each of the RDS enabled servers, group policey was used to enable and specify the RDS server and licensing mode. The RD Licensing Diagnoser was used to verify, and report that no licensing
problems for the Remote Desktop Session Host Server existed, and the tray icon that reports that you are running a trial version of RDS does NOT appear.
Advance forward a few months and users start reporting that they cannot login and that they are receiving “The remote session was disconnected because there are no RDS license servers available
to provide a license."
After doing all that I could I filed a case with Microsoft Support at the Highest Level Possible. After a month I finally was able to talk to someone. After 2 more weeks, here is the solution
they gave me….
Open the registry, Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\RCM
Delete the GracePeriod Key
Reboot
This continues to occur every few months. I wish someone at MS would FIX the problem.
Lee

sure.
i have 5x 2012 RDS farms, nearly identical in configuration dispersed throughout the globe, each farm has:
2x RDSH
1x RDCB, RDWeb, RDLicense server with 2012 CALs deployed as User Mode
We are pointing directly to the license server in our collection settings (only 1 collection per farm) and also again via GPO settings to override license server auto discovery options
These systems were rolled out using scenario-based installs so while RDWeb is there, it's not actually being used (nothing published to it), users are leveraging session-based desktops via RDP client both internally and externally
systems are all domain joined, we're still on 2003 functional level in AD
i first encountered this issue around the 120 days mark after the first farm went into production, we saw that users could not login and event ID 1130 was being thrown for every login attempt.
i saw this article and followed the steps to resolve it:
http://www.360ict.nl/blog/no-remote-desktop-licence-server-availible-on-rd-session-host-server-2012/
however, after another 120 days passed, i ran into the same issue again, realizing this was not a permanent fix. after just opening the case with MS on this a couple of weeks ago, they've told me it's a bug and so for now, i proactively purge the
L$RTMTIMEBOMB_nnnn key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\GracePeriod, i restart
TermService so i don't have to reboot the whole box and it's fine for another 120 days
during the issue and even when it's not occurring, licensing diagnostics come up clean, i haven't taken a report while the issue is occurring but when it's not occurring the reports show CALs being assigned to all users by the license server.
basically, it seems like even though we have a license server that is activated with user CALs, the Review section shows green checks under both sections, and reporting is fine - the system is stuck in 120 day trial mode for some reason.
now MS did say they know about this and they're working on a fix, hopefully not to just get me off the phone, but they didn't have a different workaround and advised that i continue doing what i'm doing.
what i don't really understand is that when i remove the L$RTMTIMEBOMB_nnnn
key from the registry, it gets recreated upon the first user logon that has to go talk to the license server. in a working 2012 environment, should this key even exist if an active license server is already available?

I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.

New hard drive and photoshop license problem

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 2 GB of RAM, and Win Xp/Pro SP3.
The hard drive in this computer failed, and it has been replaced. I used an image backup from Acronis True Image 10 to "restore" the new disk.
Now, when I try to open Phostoshop CS2, I receive a message that the license is no longer valid (I have been using this version of Photoshop for a long time).
I don't have this problem with InDesign CS3 (v. 5.0.2), FrameMaker 7.2b144, or Acrobat 8.1.6.
I didn't find any helpful info on the "Product Activation" web page.
I tried a forum search and a search of Adobe.com using the search criteria "new hard drive and photoshop license problem."
The only relevant item I could find is this:
"Backup and restoration of your system using standard tools do not require reactivation. While reactivation after backing up or restoring the system was required in early versions of Adobe software (such as Adobe Photoshop® CS), Adobe has continued to improve the activation process with new technology that eliminates the need to reactivate after system restoration. In complex situations where the system is being upgraded, we recommend deactivating the Adobe software before commencing the system upgrade. Once the system upgrade is completed, the subsequent install/restore will require reactivation, which is typically accomplished without difficulty and is completely transparent to the user."
So does that mean I have to "reactivate" Photoshop CS2? If so, do I use the Activation window that is displayed when I open Photoshop? The serial number has 20 characters. Will the Adobe (re)activation recognize this old serial number? If not, what do I have to do to get this product usable again?
Please help.

>replaced your hard drive and CS2 DRM is looking for the old hard drive number and not finding it
Interesting... I use http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm which creates a bootable CD and runs outside of Windoze
I have made image files and loaded those files to a new hard drive (I use drive swap hardware to make a backup and create a new drive every time I install or uninstall major software) and have never had any program complain about needing activation
But, since the program I use is Linux on a bootable CD, it copies EVERYTHING on a hard drive, even the hidden registration areas as far as I can tell, so when I do a restore to a new drive, everything is put on the new drive

Hardware Requirements to get Satisfactory Resolution and Reconstruction from a Kinect V2 Scan

I am new to the Kinect for Windows V,2 (KFW2) Sensor, and as a prospective hobbyist
I am finding it difficult to determine the ”best for me” hardware requirements to acquire a satisfactory resolution and reconstruction from a scan to use in a 3D printer.
Please excuse and correct any mistaken impressions I expose in the following overview of what I have learned so far.
It seems that the measure of success to achieve my goal is to achieve 30 Frames per Second (fps) using applications such as Fusion Explorer and 3DBuilder while making a acan.
After watching many video demos I have determined that the stated minimum system requirements published by Microsoft are focused on just getting the KFW2 sensor to actually “work” and have a mesh constructed regardless of quality. Beautiful models have been
build using these applications, but in many of them I have heard both explicit and implicit comments that the computer used was much more capable than the stated minimum. In fact, in one such video the Microsoft presenter said words to the effect that “…we
have some high-end computers here but you need more than that to get good results in real time...” In many cases a Surface Pro 3 was somewhere in the scene. Well I am using a Surface Pro 3 i7, and I do not get satisfactory results.
So my question is, “Has anyone achieved a frame rate of 30 fps with Fusion Explorer and/or 3D builder? If so would you mind sharing the make and model of the computer you used, or the specs of the components you used (CPU, GPU, USB 3.0 controller, etc.)
if you built your own custom computer.
Thanks in advance

Hi JPerry,
I have a laptop with a 4GB 680m and a intel i7-3820qm (USB 3.0 eXtensible) and get a solid 30 fps fusion which takes around 60% GPU load with a 640 vox/m 256x256x512 grid. FPS drops to 17-20 when I increase the numbers to 768 vox/m, 512x512x768 grid.
On my Surface Pro 3 256GB i5-4300U I can get a decent 20-25 fps with 384 vox/min 128x128x128.
Fusion is very memory intensive, hence the frame rate dependency on volume size. I think in the original Fusion paper they mention that each voxel element takes up 32bits of memory so for 512x512x512 it takes up 512MB of GPU memory.
I would say anything with 1.5GB of GPU memory, later than a (desktop) nvidia GTX 660 (or AMD equivalent) should get you a solid 30 fps unless you use huge volumes, then I would consider using some of the fusion alternatives such as Voxel Hashing or KinFu
Large Scale.
http://www.graphics.stanford.edu/~niessner/niessner2013hashing.html
http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/using_kinfu_large_scale.php
Although you may have to do some work getting those working with the v2.

Old Mac died. Have PE 9 and while it installs I get a licensing problem I have the original discs and the serial. How do I fix this? I don't need the new version and I just want to use what I have already paid for. Error 213:5

Did you migrate over the data from your old computer? If so, there's probably something you brought over that knows it's not on the same hardware as before. In that case you need to run this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
and then go around and manually remove all the bits and bobs, not just from applications but also from hard drive>library>application support>adobe and from your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you. You have to go looking on your own.
If that's not it--you just a message that you've used up your activations, you need activation support:

License Problem .. what do I need ...

Dear all !
I have some license problems .. and want kindly ask for
advise ..
I had time fixed license which works fine ..
and then I got an update for the license ..
and merged the old and the new license with
the updateLicensefile.sh script ..
But when I start a container with > startWebLogic.sh
I got WebLogic: license has expired on Thu Sep 13 12:00:00 CEST 2001!
. and he seems not recognize the new license ..
So I tried to check which parts are missing ..
Expried is Connector, QASuite .. do I need them ?
For WebLogic, "SSL/Export, 2PC, In-memory Replication - Servlet,
In-memory Replication - EJB. EJB 1.1, EJB 2.0, JMS, Cluster,
Clustered JMS, jDrivers ..I have new licenses .. but
they are in a new license-group .. not
longer in release="6.1"
<license-group format="1.0" product="WebLogic Server" release="*">
So I'm really confused, what to do .. and
what is the missing license ?
My customer number is : DEU100683
Can anybody be so kind to help me out of this ?
The other question is, does BEA also provide normal
access to the newsgroups via nntp .. I would
prefer this .. which one is the nntp server ?
Thanks a lot !
Frank

Frank,
The java weblogic.Admin LICENSES utility lists the license that the server
is using.
If you had multiple licenses and did not know which one was being picked
this utility will help you.
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61//////adminguide/cli.html#1134397
Regarding the documentation error can you paste the url where you found the
error. I will make sure I inform the person responsible for that.
Regarding the information returned by the license utility I will follow up
with Engineering to check if it would be possible to change the format
returned.
Thanks

Frank ,
Regarding the UpdateLicense-script issue, the order in which the new
license is appended should not matter. As long as the server is able
to read the information from that file.
Please refer to this url for more information on the showLicenses
utility. This utility will provide information on what license the
server is using.
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/////adminguide/utils.html#1117307
Hope this information helpsDear Raj !
Thanks a lot at first ..
but :
java utils.showLicenses .. doesn't really help , because
on the workstation it brings me : java.lang.NullPointerException ..
without
any further information and without stack trace ( this should be added
of course )
I also used .. weblogic.Admin which works to show the licens
information ..
but t seems only to list the contents of the license.bea in another way
not whether any of the liences makes sense and is valid ..
Then I also tried :
java utils.writeLicense ..
not very helpful too in this case .. also list only
the contents .. something like : you have a valid license
until xxx .. of this yyy components would help
more ..
BTW .. the documentation is wrong .. the Property is : bea.home ..
not bea.system.home .. and the example on a unix console with
-Dbea.home=d:\bea60 shows two things
a) this was not updated for 6.1 ..
b) you differ not , whether you are on unix or dos .. but you should
But this is all not important .. shows only that also BEA if far away
from being perfect,
this is from a developer point of view good .. because everyone is
failing somehow
every day .. but the license problem should not occure !
I sent the problem on Thuesday to the support , to see what can be done
so far no answer !
Thanks again for your kind help and hints !

Hey -
Thanks for taking the trouble to respond - appreciated. I did post the details you requested and sent you IM about that. Anyway, the problem
appears to have fixed itself as soon as I opened Acrobat9 Pro it
reconfigured itself and everything is working again!

JCom License Problems on WLS 7.0

I've read through the various threads posted here on people hitting licensing problems
with JCom. Unfortunately, I seem to be having the same problem however the workarounds
suggested by others don't seem to be solving my problems.
I'm trying to get a bare bones example of a Java2Com application running. I'm

Thanks,

The 3GS was not sold as an unlocked phone in the US 2 years ago and AT&T did not offer unlocking then.
You bought a hacked phone. The Apple servers can detect the hack and have now disabled activation. Contact AT&T and find out if you qualify to have it unlocked or buy a new legitimately unlocked phone.
