Hoi Wim,<br>
<br>
Isn't it ironic that Adobe has a product that can create military
standard documents, but have such a dreadful software activation
system, it means that the software can't easily be used on a
military or closed IP network. I understand the need for software
licensing and activation, but it would have been so much easier if
Adobe provided an automated telephone system.<br>
<br>
Adobe force their FrameMaker users to activate their product - which
means that you must have an active internet connection at least once
within 30 days of the first launch of the serialized product. The
software tries [silently] to connect to the Internet for the first
seven days after the first launch of the product for activation. If
the software has not activated within the first seven days, you will
receive a reminder for the next 23 days on every launch that the
machine must connect to the Internet and activate the software. As
soon as the software detects an Internet connection, it will
silently activate the product. <br>
<br>
Here are some of the Adobe technical information notes about the
activation:<br>

<br>
I read the Adobe Forum thread: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://forums.adobe.com/thread/827071">http://forums.adobe.com/thread/827071</a><br>
which lead me to contact Adobe Technical support via email:
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tcssup@adobe.com">tcssup@adobe.com</a> ; where I indicated the nature of the problem. I
then received a telephone call from their support operation where I
repeated the same information, and after a while, the support agent
indicated that Adobe *can* supply a special licensing [hack!] tool
which removes the requirement for activation. <br>
<br>
<br>
I recommend contacting Adobe to get them to supply this special
licensing tool, but to action this, Adobe require you to provide the
precise license key and software order number to be able to create
the tool - customised for your installation, which you then need to
download via the Adobe Software licensing portal. It took a few
days to get this done.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm using a macbook with bootcamp and Parallels. So I can
either start up with Windows (bootcamp) or start Windows (and
FM) from within the MacOS using Parallels. Parallels uses the
bootcamp partition so the Windows environment is the same. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now the issue is that when I'v been working with FM 11 under
Bootcamp and the next time I start FM 11 under Parallels FM
thinks I'm using a trial and I need to register my FM license.
Same the other way round. Anyone else seeing this, is there a
work around?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't have this with FM 10 or other licensed software.<br>
