Installing CS6 on an Image.

Hi,

Yes you have to use AAMEE 3.0. But you need not start all over again. There is a relationship between the machine ID and Adobe License and thus imaging will break the serialization of CS6 products and your products will be installed in trial mode. So, you just need to serialize your products on all the machines where trial is installed.

Once you have deployed the trial version on the machines through imaging, you should use the serialization executable to serialize your CS6 products. Just run the serialization executable workflow of AAMEE 3.0 and its output will be a folder containing AdobeSerialization.exe and a prov.xml file. You should copy this to all the systems where the trial is installed and then run this executable via command line -

AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --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 CS6 products.For more information, please refer to page 40 of  AAMEE documentation posted at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
