Question

Upgrading to 9.2 Path!

I was unable to upgrade to 9.2 from 9.0 with slipstreaming as per Adobe's site.  Then I found this post on another site.  It worked like a charm.  Do Not Apply 9.1.3 patch. It would be nice if Adobe would update their website.

This document would be relevant if they had updated it when 9.2 came out.  But they haven't yet.

After a bit of trial and error, this is the order you must patch to get 9.2 into your AIP:
9.0 -> 9.1.0
9.1.0 -> 9.1.2
9.1.2 -> 9.2.0

If you already have 9.1.3 in your AIP, you'll have to create a new AIP from the original source.

This is because you cannot slipstream security patches.  Security patches are always updated in the cumulative quarterly updates.  The cumulative quarterly updates are the only ones that can be slipstreamed.

For Adobe 9 the cumulative patches are 9.1.0, 9.1.2, and 9.2.0 and the security patches are 9.1.1 and 9.1.3

For Adobe 8 the cumulative patches are 8.1.0, 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3, 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 and the security patches are 8.1.4 and 8.1.5

So what is the best way to deploy the latest version of Adobe 9 Volume License? We have Acrobat Standard 9.0 on an administrative install on a network share and it's deployed via Active Directory Group Policy, but it is difficult to get the installations updated to the latest security patch level from 9.0.

I read that slipstreaming causes Volume License to become retail?  Sounds ridiculous. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/138793-slipstream-adobe-acrobat-9-pro/page__view__findpost__p__891733

If we can't slipstream the latest security patch into our administrative install because patches can't be slipstreamed as claimed above, then how can we automatically update those with a version of 9 below the current 9.3.1?

Patching an Adobe 9 Administrative Install Point that uses a Volume License Key is not something you can do right now due to an Adobe bug.  This used to work in Adobe 8 but as soon as you patch an Adobe 9 AIP is makes the VLK not work properly.  Thus, you can's slipstream these updates like you want to do.  Until Adobe resolves this issue, I am afraid there isn't much you can do.

If you had retail codes you could patch your AIP like this:

9.0.0 -->  9.1.0 ---> 9.1.2  ---> 9.2.0 ---> 9.3.0

Do not apply patch 9.3.1 because it is a security patch, not a cumulative update.  If you apply this patch the next cumulative update that is released will not slipstream into the AIP properly and you will have to recreate the AIP in order to apply the next cumulative update patch.  Patches 9.1.1, 9.1.3, and 9.3.1 are security patches and are always included in a subsequent cumulative update.
