Weve been giving the professors a laptop with Creative Suite installed and letting the professors customize it to their hearts content.When they are done customizing, we Sysprep the laptop and use it as an image for the lab computers.
Cs5.5 Block Adobe Activation Edit Update This ThreadMay update this thread at some point with my firsthand findings. p.s. in quick response to the question of why Im so concerned about 10 a month: Firstly, I have the entire CS6 suite and I use more than just Photoshop, which means I would need the 50 month plan Secondly, there is nothing from stopping Adobe, or any company that may buy out Adobe, from raising the subscription rates, or even changing the way in which subscriptions or billing work. I have a problem with this because I paid for CS6 as a perpetual license, which means I own it, and essentially they are blocking me from rightfully using it. Cs5.5 Block Adobe Activation Edit Software But IPossibly that is built into their terms and conditions for the software but I still think its b.s. I am totally aware that there are people on here who will ridicule me for my point of view and tell me to suck it up and move to creative cloud. I am also understanding that you have the right not only to hold that opinion, but also that you have the right to post it here. Id like to know if there is anyone else on there that agrees that the shutting down of the CS6 activation servers is b.s. Adobe I have contacted a lawyer about this to determine my options. Thanks. Im still using CS6 and if the activation server is off, I guess that means if I get a new computer I wont be able to re-activate CS6 on the new computer If thats the case, I may be able to get around it by cloning the c: drive before going across. I cant say that Id be interested in participating in any lawsuit though. Dave. Is it worth the time to try to recover the cost of CS6--or to put it differently, to avoid the cost of switching to CC I dislike the subscription model on principle, and I was an unhappy camper when Adobe switched. However, I decided it wasnt worth the fuss to fight it and subscribed, and Im very glad I did. For 10 USmonth, I dont have to think about it anymore--except sometimes delaying an update while the kinks get worked out. I also installed Dreamweaver CS3 which I had been using on a previous computer which had ceased to function. When I tried to register it, the server told me I could not, but gave me the option of not registering Both of these have been working with no problems. John. I went digging on the Adobe website and yes the EULA for Photoshop appears to grant a perpetual licence. Matthew, what was the source of your information that the activiation website is now defunct, personal experience. The adobe CS6 pages state that CS6 is no longer available (I realize this is not necessarily the same thing as can no longer be activated but why leave the activation servers on when they stopped selling it and want people to move to CC) 3. A coworker at my job said she attempted to reinstall and activate her CS6 and it was denied 4. A number of posts on the forums are from people experiencing an inability to activate CS6 when moving to a new computer - some say could not connect to server or similar Heres the deal: I have CS6 working on my current computer, but the computer has many problems (partially corrupt operating system, and cannot do 12 the things I should be able to do such as install operating system updates and security patches). I have had to take the computer offline completely because there is too high a security risk of getting a virus or malware. The idea is to get the new pc up and running completely with all my programs, files, etc and then when Im sure I am good with that, I will pull the HD from the old computer and swap in a new one and install Windows fresh, basically rebuilding it. Then that will become my internet and general use computer, and I will take the new fancy computer completely offline and have it be my media workstation, completely removing any risk of infection from online threats. Generally you can only activate CS6 on a limited number of computers and I think Im at that limit (not 100 sure). This would mean I would probably need to deactivate my CS6 on the current machine in order to install on the new one. My fear is that Adobe might let me deactivate but block me from activating, then Im SOL. That said, I will install CS6 on my new PC and give it a go with activation in a small case that all of my gathered intel is somehow wrong, including the Adobe ACPs statement about the servers and everyone elses issues, etc. May update this thread at some point with my firsthand findings.
