What information can I use to find out which software has been downloaded for my company?

Hello Adobe forums! I hope this is the right spot to put these questions.
This is the situation:
I work for a very small printing outfit in a very small town in the middle of nowhere, Canada.
Everybody that worked for the company that was involved with adobe in the past has now moved on, except people that can't help with this issue.
I have managed to slueth some information from some people here but nothing concrete.
Anyways, so far that I know that this company subscribed to some sort of Adobe subscription service that enabled them to upgrade as need be for an annual fee. At least this is what i've been told.
We have both a PC and a Mac version of Adobe Design Premium CS3, working on their respective computers. The reason I need to know whats going on is that the PC with CS3 is about to go kaput - So I've got a new PC. Now I need to transfer the design suite from one computer to another. I know I can have active two installations of the design suite per purchase, but I also know I can deactivate one activation and reactive it again elsewhere. Thats the option I want to pursue.
I have no idea what usernames were used to download these products, no idea which people in the company's history were responsible for acquiring these suites. I have a list of names and emails, and also I do beleive the company credit card has remained the same for many years, and so I have that as well.
I also still have the working and legitimate copies of Design Premium CS3. I do not have serial numbers for these programs because I dont have access to the emails that purchased them. I did however yesterday register the photoshop CS3 to the current email address I use now for adobe.com (although I haven't seen anything reflected in my account just yet - I understand it takes 24-48 hours for that to show up) So that I believe should at least be one step towards proving to adobe I exist and that my design suite is genuine.
So basically I'm looking for two things. One, I need to find out which account we used to acquire the software (With email addresses and a CC# should will I be able to find this?) and two, I need the serial number and a link to download CS3 Design Premium, which I'd imagine is dependant on the first objective.
(An interesting side note: in the Adobe folder on the dying PC there is an unistalled zip file containing CS4 Design Premium. I know the PC wont support CS4, so maybe thats why its not installed. Interesting that it is on there - is there any way i can tell if it was downloaded from a subscription service by jsut looking at the .7s zip file?)
Thanks for any help anyone can provide! Any further info I can give I will glady hand out, cheers!

Two thoughts:
(1)     It is possible that your Adobe software was the result of belonging to a now-discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program where for a certain annual membership fee, print service providers were provided with (a) both a Windows and Macintosh license to the Adobe print-oriented software products (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat) and (b) special direct product support as well as the ability to put your name on Adobe's website as a member of this program. The program ended over a year ago if I remember correctly.
(2)     You may wish to contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) and see if they can track down any and all licenses associated with your company. If you have the names of the former employees who worked with this software, it would be helpful. Likewise, if you were a member of the discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program, you may have some options for upgrading/updating the software you have.
Unfortunately, you cannot get any more definitive information about your situation on these forums.
Good luck.

  • How to find out which GR has been invoiced?

    Hello,
    I am working on one scenario in which I am making a sales order through which automatic Purchase order is getting generated. I am doing a MIGO(GR) for lesser quantity on this PO. lets say I am creating 4 GRs of 10 quantity for a PO of 50. Now, I am making direct invoice for this through VF01 with reference to sales order. An invoice of 40 will be created.
    Now, I am doing creating one more GR of 10 for the rest of the amount. I have 5 GR's now.
    How can I get to know which GR has been invoiced (table relation) and which is yet to be invoiced?

    Amrish,
    RSEG is the "Document Item: Incoming Invoice" table. In this table, Look for the field LFBNR , LFGJA, LFPOS.
    LFBNR - Refernced GR Number
    LFGJA - Year
    LFPOS - Ref Doc Item
    Hope this helps

  • How to find out which user has the permission to execute startsap ?

    Hi All
    How do I find out which user has the permission to execute the startsap and stopsap? Do I control the permission on those script using windows standard authorization? For example: only allow certain user have the read and write permission?
    Thank you.!
    Vincent Lo

    Well to me this is really weird question..
    <b>noone un-authorized should have access to OS on your system</b>
    If this is valid you do not need to solve problems who can and who cannot start/stop SAP, because if you want to prevent some users from shutting down the SAP you have really hard job to do - there are many ways how to kill the SAP (for example killing relevant process from task manager, killing of database, messing with services etc.) - yes, this is harmful way of stopping SAP, but we are talking about attack, right? I would contact some Windows specialist to help you disable all the ways how to harm the running SAP. But still after that - there are many files that can be modified/deleted so SAP will crash after restart - you need to protect them too, etc.
    In case you take the first assumption as granted (and you really limit access to this server) you do not need to worry who can stop or start SAP - at the other hand it may be handy to be able to start/stop SAP from other users - for this you can run the stop/start script "under different user".
    But to answer the question - to me this is question just of access control (but really never tried that myself):

    I have performed all troubleshoot suggestions to make my iphone and PC calendar update to each other via icloud.What else can I do to resolve this? This has been the most frustrationg aspect of changing to iphone and ipad. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
    A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
    Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
    As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
    Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

  • How to find out which formulas have been used in sales orders of a period

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to find out how much my users actually use the formula and average pricing. Therefore, I am trying to build a quick viewer by relating tables. In order to use the F&A pricing, they use one particular condition type ZFA1. By linking tables vbak and KONV via KNUMV, I can see in which orders they have used ZFA1, but I also want to find out which Formula they have chosen from the repository. As this is visible for the user from the sales order, there should be a table that stores it, but I cannot find it. Does someone know the table and can help me on this topic?
    If you provide the solution, I will definitely give you the reward points. Thank you in advance!
    Greetings
    Petra

    Hi Petra,
    Please try to check the table OICQ7 with KNUMV from VBAK.

  • ADF: How to find out which query has taken what time?

    Hi,
    I have an ADF application which has many SQL queried running on each button click/page load, so how to find out which query is taking what amount of time? So that i can identify the long running queries and modify them to improve the application performance.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    As suggested by Timo,you need to start tracing on oracle.jbo package for getting the SQL queries.But I think the second option suggested by him would be better.You will have to override executeQueryForCollection method in VO Impl class .Pseudo code would be
    @Override
    Take start time
    super.executeQueryForCollection
    Take end time
