May 21, 2010  How to Disable Registration Reminders In a similar vein as the last entry, here are some instructions for how to disable the launch of Adobe Application Manager at the second product launch when the user is requested to register the product. It is possible to suppress registration via an override mechanism. The installer places a flag in a database on the users system. Any product which licenses reads this flag and determines whether or not to invoke AAM for registration. Enterprise customers can suppress registration as part of the normal enterprise deployment toolkit (AAMEE) workflow. This toolkit should have a public, free release in early June along with documentation for how to suppress registration. For any volume customers who are distributing prior to the upcoming release of AAMEE you can suppress registration in the following manner: Create the override file with a Registration Suppress tag and pass it in the command line to the Bootstrapper (Set- up.exe or Install.app) via param overrideFile.

Win: Set-up.exe –mode=silent –deploymentFile=”” –overrideFile=”” –installSourcePath=”” –action=”” Mac: Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install –mode=silent –deploymentFile= –overrideFile= –installSourcePath= –action=”” Hopefully most people will be able to wait until early June with the first release of AAMEE so the above workaround is not necessary. Eric, A couple questions: – Is the Mac command accurate? I see pairs of double quotes after each equals sign in the Windows command, but only one pair of double quotes after the “action” flag in the Mac command. – Is the correct format of the override file is described here, at least as far as the Registration Suppress tag? – Will this suppression work with InCopy CS5? – I have a FileWave-based distribution of CS5 that I’m mostly happy with, short of the registration prompts.

If I run this installation (ours is Acrobat CS5, Design Premium CS5, and InCopy CS5) what file(s) do I need to replace in my distribution? I think it’s this one: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache/cache.db Thanks to whoever responded on the MacEnterprise List with a pointer to this blog post. Eric, First, let me say thank you for all of the hard work you’ve done, this blog is an incredible resource to any sysadmin looking to deploy Creative Suite. I ran into a difficult problem with the CS4 installer. We have users on campus who would simply like to install Photoshop, or one other part of the suite, but because we have a license for the suite as a whole it really isn’t possible to break it up. What I found is that even with the xml files passed to the installer to tell it which products in the suite to install, the user is still prompted with a dialog with the ability to add/remove components if they already have one product from the suite installed.

Run the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to resolve some Adobe Creative Cloud or Adobe Creative Suite installation issues. Remove all products (Mac OS).

I’d like to be able to provide installers for each component in the suite separately, and allow the user to selectively install these components from our networked application distribution software (ZENworks Configuration Management). The provision of AAMEE to create an MSI installer sounds tantalizing, but can you tell me whether I will be able to do what I want to do with AAMEE? Thank You, Jacob. Jacob, Let me try to say back to you what I think you’re asking. Is it possible to install only a point product (say Adobe Photoshop) and use the Suite license? However, the workflow isn’t as straightforward as we would like.

With CS4 the easiest way to do it is to install Adobe Photoshop in trial mode from the Adobe Photoshop media. Then, when prompted from launching the product, enter the Suite serial number. This will also work for CS5; but, with CS5’s AAMEE there is also a tool that will let you serialize the product post-install with a script.

Eric, I used: sudo /Volumes/Adobe CS5 Design Premium/ Adobe CS5 Design Premium/Install.app/Contents /MacOS/Install –mode=silent –deploymentFile= /Users/admin/Desktop/DeploymentFiles/DPCS5 /deploy/install-enUS.xml –overrideFile=/Users /admin/Desktop/DeploymentFiles/DPCS5/ application.xml.override.txt I got the gist of the setup from the CS4 enterprise documentation, including the override file setup. I think a few of the flags (installSourcePath, action) you included are optional, so no big deal. To answer my second question, to move the licensing (and registration suppression) into a previously-created distro of CS5 you need this directory: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/ – Patrick.
