How to Remove Register Your Product With Customization Wizard?

[RiceKing780]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to deploy Acrobat XI Pro with Group Policy to Windows 7 64 bit desktops on our domain.

It appears the GPO installed it on my test box but Acobat launches a 'Register Your Product' splash screen when it starts.   Have I missed something in the Adobe Customization Wizard XI?   I've entered the serial number and surpressed the EULA option.

Thanks

Rice

Hi Rice,

Yes, there is a option in Adobe Customization Wizard to disable Product Registration window.

Open the package in Customization Wizard then you need to go to "Online and Adobe Online services features" catagory then check the 'Disable registration' option.

Doh!!  I don't know how I missed that... it is Monday, I need to drink more coffee. 

Thanks!

Is there a way to do this retrospectively via the Acrobat XI group policy template? I suspect not as I've gone through all the options. So if not in the template, can it be done via a registry change?

Thanks, Rob.

Yes. Look up the EULA pref here: Preference Reference for Acrobat and Adobe Reader

The GPO template for Reader also has this value, and of course you can add any preference to the template as you wish.

				CATEGORY General
					POLICY "Accept EULA"
						#if version >= 3
						EXPLAIN !!EXPLAIN9
						#endif
						KEYNAME "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AdobeViewer"
						VALUENAME EULA
