Comments on: Adobe CS6 Serialization fun

I’ve recently had a few CS6 installs packaged with AAMEE 3.1 come unglued and demand registration – the $48k we paid to Adobe for their software notwithstanding.

I created a PKG that installs the Adobe Serialization binary and XML files into a temp directory and re-serializes as Staze suggests, though I also used the “adobe_prtk” flag.

More testing reveals that the CS6 install package created with AAMEE 3.1.105 works when installed from the client machine. It will not install if I use ARD or DeployStudio. If I install a trial version then serialize it (using ARD), I still get the Sign In page when I open any of the Adobe products. I’m soooooo frustrated!!!

I’ve completed the necessary steps with AAMEE 3.1 (Mac) and have a working, serialized machine. I then open any of the CS6 products and am confronted with a prompt to registrar the product with an Adobe ID and password. This is a problem since I built into the Serialization key the registration suppression. I can see that it is in my prove.xml file but it is not working. I’ve tried using some of the suppression samples in the AdobeSerialization.exe file but still a no-go. Anyone seeing this same issue with v3.1? Any thoughts on how to get the registration to not show for my students?

The @Adobe_ITToolkit feed hints at possible link to Photoshop 13.0.2 patch causing a problem? That didn’t come from Adobe, but it’s the first real feedback we’ve seen on possible root cause…just sayin’.

I started deploying CS6 Design Standard and Master Collection in the middle of May 2012. I packaged using AAMEE and baked the license into the base package. I havent seen this bug in our environment yet. Is it going to happen?
