Licensing horror

[per_w_aberg]

Hi

I just took over program managing of Adobe installation and licensing at a school. We are at some volume licensing program that is expireing and is leaving us with CS6, thats fine. Right now I'm in the confusion phase. I've given it a couple of hours but not stumbled on any answers. Could someone shed a light of some basic questions. I know I'm probably getting into AAMME in order to make installations smoothly. No big deal. But how about

An Adobe ID is required to activate. Is that ID claiming a license in any way?

Maybe license count is tied to the license number, that is tied to our License agreement, upon activation? There has been activations done with different accounts, even by students themselves.

Must AAMME use the Program manager ID to work.

We are setting u a institutional Adobe ID by some recommendations, whats good about that?

As I said, confusion phase

Hi -Per Åberg,

Adobe ID is required to activate the CS 6 apps however it can be suppressed using AAMEE. You can create a package using Adobe application manager enterprise edition 3.1 and simply deploy on user's machines. An individual installation would require Adobe ID and password to authenticate the product.

Thanks,

Ashish

Thanks Ashish!

The key question remains though. We have students on 7 day trail mode of CS6 and they are awaiting activation. Shall I just let them create a Adobe ID of there own to activate and be done with it? Will that make them a owner of one copy of the schools CS6? I feel really stupid asking a basic question like this but believe me when I say I've been searching.

You can use AAMEE to create a serialization file and deploy on students machines. this way, they don't need to sign in with Adobe ID. Here is the workflow link.
