I have already downloaded and succesfully installed Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6. When I opened Photoshop, a dialogue box told me that Sign-In is Required and that i need to do it within 7 days otherwise the software will stop working. But when i clicked on the sign-in now button, it says it can't connect to the Internet...most probably this is due to our corporate firewall blocking access to the adobe registration servers.
Problem is we can't request for the lifting of the blockade, so I opted for the next possible option which is offline activation. I clicked on the link that says "If this computer cannot access the internet, get more details at http://www.adobe.com/go/getactivated_uk using an Internet enabled device"
It then took me to a page that has the following instructions:
If your computer is permanently offline (i.e. secure environments like government, banking etc.) you need to complete an offline activation within 7 days of the first launch of the software otherwise it will stop working. You need an internet enabled device and your product's serial number to complete this process.
- Follow the installation or product launch screens until you see a link that says "I cannot connect to the internet" or "Having trouble connecting to the internet". Click the link and follow the instructions on the subsequent screen to initiate offline activation. Instructions there will tell you how to generate a Request Code.
- Use an internet-enabled device to Generate a Response Code. Sign in and enter the machine specific Request Code as well as your product's serial number.
- Enter the Response Code on the installation or launch product screen of your offline computer when you are prompted to complete the offline activation process.
The instruction in number 1 above is already what i did to arrive at the very same page.
I tried clicking on the Generate a Response Code link in #2 but it says I need the Request Code but I can't find any link that let's me get a Request Code.
Where can I find a link to get the Request Code?
Please Help.
Thanks a lot in advance!
