Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I used AAMEE 3.1 to generate a serialized package of CS6 on OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2). It's fine, or so I thought. I created a Mac OS image through DeployStudio and deploy it across our school's iMacs. Great. However, during the first run, Photoshop (and only Photoshop) launches the Adobe Application Manager alongside it, and they both exit. Subsequent launches of Photoshop proceed as they should, and other programs in the suite load properly on first run.
This would be a minor annoyance, except all of our Macs are frozen using Deep Freeze, so everyone will experience this behavior, every day. I haven't found anything helpful in the system or Adobe logs, haven't been able to web-stalk anything, and monitoring the filesystem for changes during this sputtered launch only yields three binary files, two in /System/Library/Preferences/Adobe and one beneath ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/SLStore. Pushing out these files to another machine as a test doesn't change Photoshop's behavior - is this tied to the Adobe ID (mine), the user account, some hardware identifier, or a combination of the three?
Thanks for any pointers,
Donald
