Serializing Multiple Products with AdobeSerialization.exe Tool

Here is what I ended up doing:

1. Installed Trial versions of Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium, Premiere Pro CS6, Audition CS6, and After Effects CS6

2. Created Serialization packages for each of those products

3. Using a Symantec Ghost Console task, copied individual serialization folders for each product to the target machine:

• C:\AdobeSerial\DWP
• C:\AdobeSerial\Prem
• C:\AdobeSerial\Aud
• C:\AdobeSerial\AE

4. Again, using a Ghost Console task executed each serialization command one-at-a-time

• C:\AdobeSerial\DWP\AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize
• C:\AdobeSerial\Prem\AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize
• C:\AdobeSerial\Aud\AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize
• C:\AdobeSerial\AE\AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize

The end result was that the four packages were successfully serialized on the target computers.

Well I tested the solution with creating different directories and it turned out that only the last command run will be the activated product.

In my enviornment I have both Design and Web Premium and Production Premium

What I wanted to do was to install both editions on a master image and then later deploy it to other computers.

So I read the documentation and thought that this new way of making a trial package and the later a serialization package would be great.

This also work if you only install one edition. I use FirstLogonCommands to activate and the later delete the folder. And then I thought that it would work when I ran extra commands.

I would first activate Design and Web Premium and then afterwards delete that folder(The one with the AdobeSerialization.exe and prov.xml). This works with just one product to activate

Then I would activate Production Premium and afterwards delete that folder. This activated the Production Premium package and somehow erased the activation of the Design and Web Premium.

To test it further I tried changing the order of the FirstLogonCommands so that it would activate Production Premium first and afterwards activate Design and Web Premium. Result: Design and Web Premium was activated and Production Premium was still a trial.

So from my research atm its not possible and maybe Adobe havn't thought about that scenario when they made these changes to activate each machine.
