SWV - Adobe CS3 FlexNET Service keeps disapearing on reboot.

Hi there,

Got a problem with Adobe CS3.  The Adobe FlexNET service that is needed for licensing of the product seems to disapear when you reboot the PC.  If you reset the layer, it appears back ok again and CS3 works fine.  Without it it moans about licensing issues and won't start.  Any ideas what I've done wrong with the layer?  I'm sure it's something easy.

Regards

Leonard

Have your tried

using the NET START (service name) on the event OnActivate? SWV usually handles services it'self, but I've found sometimes they need to be "kick-started"? If it is already started, all you get is an error in the cmd box that pop's, but if you use the /c switch it should be all right (don't be tempted to use > NUL as this causes errors)

Just my tuppence

Cheers
Phil

Thanks Phil, Not quite the

Thanks Phil,

Not quite the problem I'm getting.  The service does start when you import and activate.  But when you reboot the PC, it has disapeared from the list of services.  So it's just not there to restart.  A reset of the layer brings it back.

That's unusual

Have you had a look in the registry (of the RO layer) to see if the entries are still there? If not then something is removing them, or they are being ignored....
If the registry keys are present, I'd still give it a kick start to see if that helps...

Cheers
Phil

We're having FlexNET issues as well

We built new packages for Acrobat Pro 8 and Photoshop CS3 and are having FlexNET issues as well. However, we're still on SVS 2.1.3071

have to ask, are you flagging the layer as active on system startup?
