Adobe is software that cannot be easily fooled around with (which is a good thing from a anti-piracy standpoint). This solution can be found by using adobe_prtk.exe which is part of the Adobe Provisioning Toolkit.įirst of all we discovered the customer had a single user license, which will get you nowhere if you want to activate the product for multiple users.

This to me is just unfeasible in a SBC or non-persistent environment, I guess that’s why this application gets packaged into a Microsoft App-V or VMware thinapp so often.īut since we haven’t got these tools to our possession we needed a different solution. Upon starting Adobe Acrobat, the program closes itself and you are prompted with the following screen: Using a product such as Adobe Acrobat DC requires activation for every single user that uses it, perhaps you have encountered it before. Lets just say Adobe isn’t that keen on using its software in a SBC environment or VDI infrastructure. Or you might say they still have the perception of the traditional stand alone work-space.

So, yeah recent events at a customer lead me to writing this article for my own purposes of documenting what I did and sharing this with you to prevent the frustration I’ve encountered.
