CS5 built and deployed with "Disable AAM."  How to enable updates without having to reinstall?

I used Adobe Enterprise Deployment Manager to create a package Design Premium CS5.  Now 6 users who have received this package report that they cannot update their own facilities.  I realized that a default build configuration has the box checked ' disable the MAO"!

In the package build itself, there is a file called "optionxml.xml" that contains a line about updates, with a "remove = true" indicator is defined.  This seems to be only configurable during compile.

Is it possible to change this on customers, once it is deployed, without having to reinstall the suite?

Adobe has a TechNote to disable the AAM, the procedure might work in reverse, that is, to find and delete/rename AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/850/cpsid_85016.html for more details

The computer-wide disability

To disable access to updates for all users on a given computer, administrators can create an admin preferences file. (This file disables access to updates both the help > menu updates, as well as automatic update of controls.) Create a text file named AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat with the following content:



     

     1

     

Place the file in the following location:

Mac OS / Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
Windows XP and above C:\Program Files\Fichiers files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
Windows XP and higher (64-bit) C:\Program files (x 86) \common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat

Note: This will also prevent administrators to check updates and installation of updates through this verification of updates. This situation is easily dealt with by simply renaming the file AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat, run the update checking and installation with Adobe Application Manager, and then restore the file to its original name.

    My 2 year old somehow gave a password on our computer and now we can get in our office.  Without having to return to the default settings, anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this problem?

    If you have a different user account with administrative privileges, Panel you can connect that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  • How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    This setting should be preserved, once you set it... so I'm not sure why you have to define every time...

    Then... Make sure that you put on ALL the tools of the art of logic in the preferences of LPX...

    Otherwise... you may need to reset the prefs of LPX... Put all the Tools Advanced again and the other preferences you have set... and see if that fixes things for you...

    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not affect your media files. To reset your settings preferences of the user to Logic Pro X to their original state, do the following:

    1. Logic Pro X to quit smoking
    2. In the Finder, select go to folder menu reach.
    3. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the field 'go to folder '.
    4. Press the Go button.
    5. Delete the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you set custom shortcuts, it will reset to the default values. You can export your custom key as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X user manual for details on how to do this.
    6. If you are having problems with a control surface in Logic Pro X, you can also delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file in the Preferences folder.
    7. Restart the computer.

    Note: If you cannot find the files listed above, you don't follow the instructions properly!
