WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Activation problem 194:100

What the ihell is going on?
I have been burdened with activation issues for weeks - see my previous thread. I have had no response here from Adobe about how to fix it. Please don't say this is a 'user to user' forum. It isn't a 'U2U' forum when Adobe state this is the first place we should look!
Now, no CC program will run owing to something called 'Activation problem 194:100'.
Yes, I have logged out. Yes, I have rebooted. Yes, I have deactivated 'more than 2 machines'. Why should I have to repeatedly click to 'deactivate 2 previous activations' when there has NEVER been more than one activation?
Adobe not only make me look a laughing stock in the classroom but this constant issue that has been going on for weeks now subliminally tells students Adobe software is useless!
When will I be able to use CC again? I am paying for it remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Rajshree,
Welcome to Adobe Forum.
CC has only EVER been activated on ONE PC.
If you look at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6198690#6198690 you'll see (like many other users) I have to constantly sign in and reactivate. It is probably this that is causing the multiple activations.
However, to reiterate, CC is only running on ONE computer. It has not at any time been activated on more than the same PC. One activation - one PC.
So, the suggestion of waiting a few hours (if the prog won't activate / run) is less than adequate. Like everyone else, I pay to have it running 24 hours a day - every day.

  • What the hell is going on with my MERGE statement

    Hi Guys,
    I maybe posted this to the wrong forum - appreciate it if you would take a look and let me know what you think.
    What the hell is going on with my MERGE statement
    Regards,
    Mark.

    The problem exists in the statement in bold. The inline view of the merge
    returns 11808 rows and should only perform 11808 lookups on the index
    on TBL_INSTRUMENT to determine whether or not to insert a row. It is
    doing 1393981363 !!Do you have accurate statistics on these tables? Have you got histograms on skewed columns?
    Also, given that you are only acting on WHEN NOT MATCHED are you sure MERGE is the way to go? A straightforward insert driving off a NOT EXISTS sub-query or an anti-join might be a much better approach.
    Cheers, APC

  • What the hell is going on with flash lately!?!?

    I'm using firefox on Windows 8 x64 and even after the updates i can't watch a video without going nuts! IMDB trailers no longer work without freezing my browsers, youtube videos won't allow to change quality without freezing or stutering as hell, so WHAT THE HELL ADOBE!??

    If I go to Mozilla support/forum page and search 'Windows 8' there are many issues listed there:
    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?esab=a&q=windows+8
    There might be some information about a workaround in FF option setting there. I personally don't have any info specific for Windows 8 + FireFox + Flash Player compatibility issue but it I hear something, I'll bring it here. Meanwhile please try to use other browsers to see if same issue can be seen.
    thanks,

  • I just updated Creative Cloud to 1.9.1.474, and my entire CC folder just disappeared. And I can't access any of my 18GB of files on the web. What the hell is going on?

    CC says it's re-syncing all 18 GB of my files back to my HDD. I'm on crappy wifi in southern Peru, and I can't access any of my work files for (CC estimates) 22 hours. I'm basically out of business for a day or more. How the hell can Adobe allow this to happen?

    With the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
    The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
    The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown).  The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
    Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
    This occurs once, after the last update completes.
    The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
    I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to.  If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
    If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
    If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

  • What the hell is going on with CC interfaces?

    This is boggling. Having just bought a new MacBook Pro Retina and signing up for Adobe CC (after being a steady Adobe customer since before InDesign 1) I can't believe what a mess the interface handling is on Retina displays. The applications I use most often are InDesign, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Illustrator, and EVERY ONE of these programs displays different UI displays and problems. PSCC displays impossibly small UI menus, and the "experimental" option to boost the UI to 200% simply results in a UI that is now too big and blurry. The DWCC interface doesn't appear to have been updated for hi-res displays, as the entire UI is fuzzy. The InDesign interface offers a couple of options for adjusting the UI scale, but none of them produce a comfortable balance between comfortable viewing, plenty of workspace, and clear, crisp UI display. Illustrator is the ONLY one of these apps that seems to have gotten it right. The interface for Illustrator is compact but usable and leaves plenty of workspace, and the entire UI is crisp and clear.
    This is industry standard software, right? (Well, it's the only game in town now, so...) And Retina (or similar) displays are soon to be the standard for the design community. So, yeah, let's force people to pay endlessly (CC subscription) for products that are inconsistently developed causing the most headaches for those that use the applications at the highest level. And this is coming on TWO YEARS since CC was released.
    What a (bad) joke.

  • What the hell is going on !?

    So last week my internet went off and had to repaired it took a day that's not the problem when it came back I had gone from 16mb to about 13mb a member he're pointed me to a site that told me it could be ten days to settle. That's fine I figured. Since then my router has been going off and on the internet non stop till finally today I was trying to watch Netflix and wondering why it was so pixalated so I log into my router to see if maybe I lost a little more speed.... Yes I did ! I went from already losing 3mb since it got fixed and going from 16mb to 13mb now it's dropped again to 1mb.... Now I've lost 15mb in total my service over this week has been total rubbish.

  • Firefox continuely freezes, I have everything I can do, with no results. Hell this help page even froze, what the hell is going on.

    stupid asses.....the more plugins the more CPU usage, the more freezing, & crashes.....dah! Your site is not that big to hold all these plugins your wanting us to use. Like anything else get one, in turn you get RID of one.....AND DON'T even ask or suggest that I use any of Firefox Security.....Firefox is NOT a security site, they have no clue, so DON'T mess with my McAfee!

    I just noticed your earlier post: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932541 Everything is up to date, on my computer....the problem is Flash Plug In (adobe), it's using to much CPU then crashes along with Firefox]. Normally Flash works fine by itself, but it can have interactions and incompatibilities with other add-ons.
    There are two Flash player settings you could change which might help: Flash's hardware acceleration setting and the new protected mode for Windows Vista/7.
    You can toggle the hardware acceleration setting using the steps in this article: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    To test whether the protected mode issue is relevant, you could temporarily disable this new feature. In the following article, scroll down to the "Last Resort" section: [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • Anytime I try to click and drag a placed image, Illustrator shuts down. What the hell is going on?

    This has happened to me about four or five times now since I've been using Adobe Illustrator. I place a file, I try to click and drag, Illustrator "stops working" for a brief moment, and thein I get the "Illustrator has quit unexpectedly" dialog box. I've tried moving the preferences folder, renaming it, delieting it, restarting, uninstalling, and updating. So far the only thing that has ever worked is for me to move to a different laptop or create a new profile on my mac book. Somebody, anybody, I seriously need some help.

    SP,
    Just to make sure: are all the faces of both the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled?

    In other words:

      public String name;
    List<Person> list = new ArrayList<Person>();
    Person p = new Person(); // 1
    p.name = "joe"; // 2
    list.add(p); // 3
    p.name = "mary"; // 4
    list.add(p); // 51. Create a Person object.
    2. Set that Person object's name field to "joe".
    3. Add a reference to that Person object to the list.
    Now the list's first entry and the variable p both point to that one Person object.
    4. Set the Person object's name field to "mary". There's stil only one Person
    object, and it's pointed to by both the 1st element of the list and by the p variable.
    5. Add another reference to that same Person object to the list.
    Now there are 2 references in the list and the p variable all referring to the
    same Person object, with the name field of "mary".
