Has anyone managed to use UEM to Caputre Acrobat DC Pro Login details?
User is getting prompted to login every time..
I had to resort to putting Acrobat in the base image. According to Acrobats documentation, the licensing is kept in %appdata%\Adobe. So as long as that is tracked and having acrobat in the base. My users have persisted their activation. It also needs to be the correct type of license.
We also installed Adobe DC Pro into the image. Had the same issue where users were prompted to login to Adobe every time they opened DC. I use UEM to capture everything in %appdata%\Adobe (which is probably overkill). I also had to change a couple of registry settings.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Identity\UserSpecificIdentity]
"Enabled"="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Licensing\UserSpecificLicensing]
"Enabled"="1"
I got it working by following
I installed application in my app stack
I did those two HKLM changes in appstack
when I assign the app stack to user they have to log-in only one's and it will persist
I am using UEM config file to persist other settings, please let me know if you need that file
Thank you,
vKmr.
Wow, can you please help me with those settings, I am also facing hard time to persist this application
Thank you,
Volga.
Can you post yours? Thanks!
Could you please share your UEM INI/configuration file?
Adding the reg keys listed in the previous responses.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Identity\UserSpecificIdentity]
"Enabled"="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Licensing\UserSpecificLicensing]
"Enabled"="1"
My UEM config for Acrobat Pro DC for my users is below. Just as a catch-all I take the root of the Adobe tree. According to Adobes documentation, the licensing is saved in the users roaming appdata. I already use folder redirection for roaming appdata. Which is why I exclude it from my UEM config.
[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\Software\Adobe
HKLM\Software\Adobe
[IncludeFolderTrees]
#<AppData>\Adobe
<LocalAppData>\Adobe
After installing Acrobat DC Pro I don't see this regstry neither under HKCU or HKLM.
Do I have to create them? Thanks
Actually, I figured out how to have these registry settings pushed to the VM.
I created UEM Registry settings to push them to VM with the condition if Acrobat DC is installed.
@Vmkr,
Could you please share that file?
Are you using DirectFlex with that config?
No, I am not running any direct flex with Adobe. You could probably trim down what is being captured, but I just take everything as a catch-all. With all-flash storage, I am not worried about any iops bottlenecks. The link is to Adobes documentation that has the requirements for the different types of licenses. I have named user licenses in my environment. Attached is my config for adobe. The default application template from VMware should also work if you have the correct licenses.
please find the below screen
Thank you, I followed the Adobe guide and added locations to my config file and it works like a charm. Thank you very much for your help. Indeed, directflex won't work and it needs to be processed during logon/logoff for proper import/export of appdata folders
How did you did the HKLM in the appstack?
Also, how can I do this for acrobat 2020? is it the same process for DC?
I am using following settings and profile size is also very small.
@AnupKshetri are your settings working with Adobe Acrobat DC ?
Hello @AnupKshetri ,
I realize this is an old post but I'm hoping someone will be able to assist me.
I am using VMware Horizon and assigned Acrobat via an AppVolume/Package. One of our users is saving large amount of temp files/logs to her writable. I am looking for a way to exclude the temp files and logs that Adobe creates via DEM.
What would I need to add to my DEM configuration to do that?
Currently there is nothing but this in my configuration for Acrobat:
[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat
Thank you!
