FYI... You can also use the windows firewall with advanced security to block any apps from phoning home. Works in vista and win7. Do your patches manually. I do this for any app i'm not sure of. Nightstone
You should write a script to do those settings...lol Just a suggestion I wonder if peerblock could be set up to block those phone home calls or servers IP's
Once again, I'm back with questions... XD I've noticed that these startup is appearing, are they needed so, can I disable them? I prefer not to have useless stuffs happening during startup. SwitchBoard "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\SwitchBoard\SwitchBoard.exe" AdobeCS5ServiceManager "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CS5ServiceManager\CS5ServiceManager.exe" -launchedbylogin AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\UWA\UpdaterStartupUtility.exe"
OK, just found out why I could download yesterday directly from links on first page. Previously I had gone to Adobe's website and clicked on trial links, but then got the pop up prompt to register/login. So thought, screw that, and then went to the before mentioned first page and hit links, and they worked. Today just now I wanted PS alone and tried links, no good, then did same as yesterday, and now downloading PS12 without registering. So as long as you go and get cookied at Adobe, no need to register to download.
i there nyway to stop the register nags? and has ny1 found the proper 11GB retail iso...if yes thn pls pm me !!! n also id like to knw wts the diff between the retail 11gb version compared to the trial 4.45gb version tht every1 here seems to b grabbing...frm wt i understand, acrobat is missing n also the after effects n premier pro x86 cs4 versions arent bundled either but has ny1 spotted ny other diff.....besides i dont understand y the production premium trial is so much bigger thn the master collection trial i mean wt exactly r we missin here??????
trial CS5 size 4.45GB that come with 7z's files (compressed) retail CS5 that over 11GB come with three ISO disc (uncompress)
@Magnus nah my cs5 is activated...by tht i meant cs5 hs alrdy askd me twice to register by enterin adobe id n password i knw its free but i dont wnt myself to b lettin adobe knw iv gotta activated cpy of MasterCollection u knw how !!! . i wz wonderin if there is a method like replacin or deleting sm dll file to avoid that register nag also after extracting the 7z files its 6.34gb whereas the uncompressed iso disks r 11gb....we're still hvin roughly 4.5gb unaccounted for n acrobat n the other stuff i mentioned comes nowhere near 4.5gb !!!
yes ofcourse i hv n i only mentioned it cz i saw the prompt fr the 2nd time 2day....but thts insignificant wts more important is wt we r missin frm the retail iso's !!!
Has anyone ever got Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 'activated'? I never got mine to work. Any recommendation from MDL members, please?
this could be important for all: there is in the sheduler after Install an adobe entry - this will be a good Idea to cancel these tasks
I've download the Master Collection CS5 but Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't come with it so, I download it seperately, I've gotten Photoshop 'activated' and such but not Acrobat 9 Pro. I have Google'd patch, keys, etc but none worked. XD
jus google for the right AdobeLM.dll for acrobat 9 or look up the usual places it shud hv the foll hashes CRC32: BADCDB3B MD5: C94E846F80AD0A6F26783146F2E959FE SHA-1: 872CB250403A518E5A52752BA6C3CE2F95E51DE5 besides u'll need a pro extended serial b4 u install it....pm me if u cant find one !
Does ny1 knw wt all is missin frm the master collection trial ???? except fr acrobat 9 n as ive cm to discover after effects n premier pro 32bit CS4 versions tht r bundled in the retail isos....cm on ny1 can shed more light on this
Did anyone download the ESD (electronic software distribution) version from WZT? Does any of these bundle included Acrobat 9?
