Where is the "I cannot connect to the Internet" button?

Apparently, according to this page here you should be able to maually activate on a compnuter that can't connect to the internet? Where do you do so on InDesign CS6?

So just for fun I decided to see what would happen if I shut down my network card and tried an install. Turns out I was able to force the links to appear. Here's how I did it:
Installed Production Premium as trial.
Disabled my network adapter.
Ran the Installer again, it accepted my License Key, completed.
Launched Photoshop
Got a message that Internet was required for activation with a link "Having trouble connecting to the Internet?"
Clicked that link and got a second page for with the "This Computer cannot connect to the Internet" link
Lead to a third page with an Offline Activation button
This generated the request code, which I was able to use to get a response code and successfully activate Production Premium.
I attempted the same process to install Indesign and unfortunately no matter how many times I attempted it each time I got a message that the response code was invalid. So half way there with some of my upgrades.
It seems the key is to shut down the network altogether. If the activator detecs any kind of connection, it won;t give you the offline prompts. Hope this helps some others.
Adobe: please explain why you do not document this, but make bone-headed reccomendations like "disable the authentication proxy"? (like anyone working behind an authentication proxy has the authority to disable it!) Why did I spend an hour with a tech support rep digging around my system, when I clearly stated upfront that your tools could not navigate our security and that our security was absolute, inflexible and would not change? The rep should have told me in the first minute of the chat that I need to completely disable my network connection and install again.
I mean seriously this is four days invested in just trying to install legally licensed software and I am not done yet as InDesign hasn't activated yet.

Can't save BISM file pointing to excel sheet (data source). ErrMsg: "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."

Hi,
Me and a collegue is administrering our new enterprise BI portal in SharePoint 2013 (On Premise) and have a problem with using a specific Excel file including general ledger data as data source through a BISM file.
This particular BISM file can't be saved without getting the error message "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."
BISM files against other Excel sheets and sources (for example SSAS tabular databases) works well.
Can anyone help us pinpointing whats wrong here, this is a really important stakeholder in our organization requesting this reporting?
Cheers!

Exception Message: The form cannot connect to the data source. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'

When opening a form in SharePoint 12013 that was created from Infopath 2013, I get the following error.
You do not have permissions to access a database that contains data required for this form to function correctly.
An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server.
Log ID:5566
When I go to the log files on the SharePoint server. I see the following error.
Exception Message: The form cannot connect to the data source. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
I am guessing this has something to do with the UDCX connection and the database.
Can anyone help me get this fixed?

Hi Jim,
Please check the following kb article when it occurs 5566errro with the UDCX conection file, try the method of using the Secure Store Service to store alternate credentials for the data connection method, or the method of stating the credentials
in the UDC file explicitly.
Also check if it could help with setting sql server as "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode".

BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network

Hi Guys,
I get the following error when i try to connect to BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network or security issue.
This only happen on clients machines, I have installed the client tools on the server and tested, i can connect to Excel but not on the machine. My MS office version is the same as the one on the server. BPC is ver 5.04
Has anyone experienced the same problem.
your help will be greatly appreciated.

Let me summarize your issue to see if I may help. If I cannot, then you will need to work with SAP Support on the connection problem.
- You have a single or multi-server setup?
- Installed using BPC 5.1 SP3, (or 5.0.502) correct?
- You can enter the BPC on the server, both via BPC Excel and BPC Admin?
- When you initiate BPC Admin on your client, so can connect to the Server and perform Admin operations?
- When you initiate BPC for Excel, and walk through the connection wizard, you cannot connect to the server?
- When you are in the Connection Wizard, are you using a path or a Server designation?
- Is the system on a single domain?
- When you added users to the Admin Security profile, they were selected from a DOMAIN?
- You have processed security and assigned ALL TASKS currently and processed the MEMBER ACCESS profiles, yes?
After all of this, have you uninstalled 1 BPC client, cleared the ProgramFiles/BPC folder, and deleted the local stored BPC information? If you haven't, just for simplification, I would attempt this process.
You also hae read all the SAP Support Notes regarding using Excel2007 with BPC and the issues you may experience?
Please let me know and maybe we can help.

HT4356 I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?

I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?

Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

The system cannot connect to the server

Hi Experts,
when I set BPC for Excel connection by connection wizard, I can connect to server and get application set list, but when I login application set, the system show me the message("The system cannot connect to the server"), and log off! how can I fix this problem? is it a firewall issue?
best regards
evans

Hi,
Can you compare your macro setting (Security level )compare to the system in which BPC is working. Or try as follows:
1. Unistall BPC
2. Restart system
3.Install BPC
hope it works...
regards,
Raju

2 of 3 computers connected to the airport cannot connect to the internet

I have an airport extreme that is connected to the cable modem, and is set to distribute IP addresses using a single 10.0.1.1 etc.
All three computers, a ppc mac mini, a 12" powerbook, and the intel iMac are connected to the base station, and that is their only connection. the pb and the mini cannot access the internet through the airport, but they are assigned IP addresses, 10.0.1.2 and 10.0.1.3.
the intel mac has more info displayed than the airport, a real IP address, 216.195.... a different subnet, and a router #.
I am afraid to change the settings that I might lose the connection to online support on the intel mac, but am totally confused as to why it would have a different IP address than it is told to have by the aebs. I need to get all these computers online today.
I am also trying to connect a new epson aculaser cx11nf printer through the ethernet port in the aebs, and it is not acknowledging anything in the port. but that's another story, and i'll likely call epson for help later, but just in case someone thinks it's related.
Thanks in advance.

Mary, Welcome to the discussion area!
From the information your provided, it is clear that your Intel Mac is not connected to your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). It is connected to a neighbor's wireless network.
On the Intel Mac, go to the AirPort menu and select the name of your wireless network. Hopefully you gave the network a unique name.
Ensure that you have the cable modem connected to the AEBS's WAN port.
Power off the cable modem whenever you switch the Ethernet connection. This causes the cable modem to forget the device it was talking to. When the cable modem is turned back on, it will find the new device to talk to.

I get the message "Cannot connect to the server. Check server name and address" when I try to scan.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

My Wi-Fi home network works, but the iPhone cannot connect to the network?

Let me clarify. I have a wifi home network that my laptop connects to and now also my iPhone. They both connect to it just fine and the internet works and everything. I just tried to setup the Remote app but my iPhone won't show up under Devices in iTunes. I know this is a problem with my network because I also tried setting up Home Sharing between my laptop and desktop computer but that won't work either. It's almost as if they're not on the same network because it can't seem to realize other devices are connected, but they are all connected to the same wifi network. My laptop is running windows 7. I have no idea what to do. Can you help please? Thanks!

what to do?????????????
best regardes
boaz

Boaz, you might double-check that your apple ID and your itunes store account login match each other. I used to have a separate itunes store login from my apple id, and for some reason they've quit accepting my old login at the itunes store. I've also had to re-authorize all my machines for the itunes store, but all my purchases are still reflected.
I'd think I was mis-remembering the ID, except that both my laptop and ipad had the "wrong" ID configured into them.
Now I can't figure out how to change the login for the itunes store on my ipad, which is still trying to login under my suddenly-unacceptable itunes store login.

Directories on 2 machines. Connect to 1 using console program on the other : "Cannot connect to the Admin Server.The url is not correct or the server is not running." URL is ok, server is running.

Which version of iDS ?
Could you show us the URL ?
I think 4.x Admin Server has the IP address of the hosts that can connect in its configuration. If both servers have 2 different configuration Directory and 2 admin servers, that is eventually where to look for a solution.
Regards,
Ludovic.

Where is the "I cannot connect to the Internet" button?
