Trying to Serialize Trial version of Adobe Cs6 Design Standard on Mac

Hi,

If you are getting the "Adobeserialization command not found" error, it is not able to find the AdobeSerialization at the path you have mentioned. You should give the path of the folder where the AdobeSerialization is kept on your machine. Please retry it and let us know in case of any error. Return code of zero means success.

If you are using AAMEE 3.1 and if you use imaging, you need got go through the route of creating the trial package, deploying the trial image and then serializaing the client machines using serialization executable after deploying the trial packages on client machines. The machine-to-license binding is removed in AAMEE 3.1, so you just need to create a serialized packge using AAMEE 3.1, take its image and deploy it on client machines. The licensing will not break on client machines and everything will work fine. So there is no need to create a serialization executable.

If you have already created a master machine (the machine whoose image is created and deployed) with Adobe products installed in trial, create a serialization executable and run it on the master machine using the command line -

AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize--stream --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml

where

--tool=VolumeSerialize specifies that the tool needs to process the prov.xml file to serialize.

--provfile specifies the absolute file path to the prov.xml file,

By default, the tool looks for the prov.xml file in the same directory as the executable file and so

typically you do not need to specify this option. (Specify this option only if the prov.xml file is in some other location.) .

This will serialize your trial products and you can take its image and deploy it on client machines. Again, the licensing will not break on client machines and there is no need to run the serialization executable on all client machines seperately.

if you have already deployed Adobe products on client machines in trial mode, you need to serialize all the machines using the AdobeSerialization tool. Please run this tool with command line -

AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --provfile=Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml.

This will serialize the Adobe Products.

While taking the above routes, make sure that the package is created using AAMEE 3.1 only. The machine-to-license binding of CS6 is removed only in AAMEE 3.1 release version. This will not work for packages created using AAMEE 3.0 or AAMEE 3.1 beta version.
